The Bro'kin Yolk

Any time you go to any of these breakfast joints especially on weekends it's sheer carnage. You definitely need a reservation as it can be waits of up to an hour or more on the weekends. The food overall was good and timely especially with the number of folks they had in there. I had their traditional eggs Benny and a berry and banana smoothie. I'd recommend this place but also recommend making a reservation especially on the weekends.

Delicious food and great service, we didn't make reservation but luckily they got us in on a busy mother's day, we sat at the breakfast bar, that was an experience in its self. Definitely recommend will be coming back!

Now my all-time FAVOURITE breakfast place. And I’ve been to a lot of breakfast restaurants. Firstly their coffee is delicious, a special blend of Fratello. I was on my 7th cup before I realized I should probably stop ahah. Secondly, the food is delicious. This feels like more than just a simple breakfast. A lot of thought is put into what goes well together. Thirdly, their use of duck fat really elevates the flavour BUT! If you’re vegan or would rather not have duck fat, they can use simple oil to cook as well! Don’t let that stop you from coming here. The server was super friendly and positive, I believe her name was Jessica (?). We got the Cali Poutine and Florentine Benny (which comes with a side of waffles and potatoes!!). Definitely coming back for more.

Just like most people, when I read the sign “Farm to Table”, I didn’t think much of it. Many restaurants advertise fresh ingredients, so what makes this place so different!? Quite simply, The Bro’Kin Yolk is the best brunch restaurant I’ve ever tried. Every single ingredient is flavourful, rich and comes at a reasonable price. I visit The Bro’Kin Yolk each time I’m in Calgary, and the experience is consistently excellent. When you walk in, you will be greeted by a host, who will take your phone number and send you a text. This restaurant is deservedly busy, so you may have to wait for a little bit, but more often than not, you will get a table right away, or with minimal wait-time. The menu will be familiar to anyone that has visited a brunch place: eggs benny, frittatas, waffles, french toast, burgers, salads, bowls and a wide selection of drinks. So what should you try? It doesn’t matter! Every single ingredient is fresh and cooked to perfection. In fact, in speaking to the host, we learned that the stores do not have a freezer. They truly are farm to table. During my last visit, here’s what I had (spoiler: it was splendid): Florentine Benny: This is a vegetarian dish. 2 soft poach eggs, topped with creamy hollandaise, and a sour balsamic reduction. Served on a perfectly prepared waffle (crunchy on the outside,and soft and fluffy on the inside). The dish comes with a side of Hash. Hash: Speaking of the Hash………OMG….the Hash…..you have to try them. This may be the biggest highlight of a meal filled with highlights. Crunchy on the outside with the potato skin intact, with just the right amount of salt, and soft on the inside. Waffles: Try it with the berry compote, which is basically a mildly sweet jam. Heaven! If I can give a rating higher than 5, I would. This place puts quality above all else, and maintains excellent pricing. Try it if you get a chance!
