Reviews of Namo Cafe Bistro (Edmonton Trail)
from GoogleNamo Cafe Bistro served up a delicious brunch and we think back fondly on their fried chicken! On a rainy Sunday, we walked in and thankfully managed to get bar seats despite the crowded restaurant which albeit small, has a decently fast turnover. We ordered and drinks and food came quickly. At first I was doubtful with the fast service but boy the chefs did not disappoint. The banana French toast with creme brulee was nicely warm and tasty. The chicken eggs Benedict and tater tots was also served hot and everything tasted delicious. We polished off both plates with great joy. I also loved the London Fog that was made perfectly with sufficient vanilla bean syrup and oat milk (which the latter was requested). Would definitely return if in Calgary! Highly recommended!
The menu options were so good that it was really hard for me to choose!! Staff were super friendly, especially our waitress, she gave us really good recommendations for where to go in town and what’s worth it/not. Restaurant was very clean, nice atmosphere, and my lamb burger was very delicious. I ordered a honey cardamon latte and I got another one for the road it actually so good. Absolutely would come again!
Went to Namo Bistro for my birthday today, great food and even better customer service. We ordered Mushroom Bruschetta, Fruit and Nut French Toast, Mango Lassi and Hazelnut Latte. Everything was nicely presented and super tasty. Our server was so sweet, she even brought me a cute little Tiramisu pastry for my birthday... Definitely coming back again super sooon!!
My friend and I went to Namo for breakfast yesterday, and the food was incredible! The menu has plenty of options for anyone with dietary restrictions, including plant-based options. I felt overwhelmed by choice, but we ended up ordering the Green Goddess (avocado toast), and farmer's market perogies. The presentation was appetizing, the flavour was delicious, and the atmosphere of the cafe had a nice vibe. I can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu! Highly recommend!
This is an outstanding brunch spot. I would recommend making a reservation because it gets quite busy on the weekends. When we finished eating, there was a line out the door waiting to get in. The food is really good. I had the fried chicken eggs benedict. I thought the eggs were cooked well, but the chicken was rightfully the star of the show. I ordered tater tots as my side and thought they tasted great. The service was great as well. Very good, very nice, very professional. All in all, I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a solid brunch spot. I’ll definitely consider coming back in the future.
Love this place! Diverse menu and lots of halal options!! Amazing service and generous portion size!!!
Love the halal options and overall vibe
Went to Namp Cafe Bistro with 5 of my friends today!!! The food was absolutely amazing, very flavorful!!! We all loved what we ordered!!! And the prices were amazing for a sit down brunch!!! The sevice was quick and the atmosphere was warm. I highly recommend checking out Namp Cafe Bistro if you want a yummy, flavorful breakfast with a amazing service and a wonderful atmosphere.
The food is delicious - really, really good. The people are lovely. I highly recommend making a reservation - not because of the wait (we went on a Sunday morning, and were seated right away) - but because of the yellow chairs that are not designed with everyone in mind. The booths are prioritized for reservations - so if you have hips and/or a bootilicious bootie, make a reservation.
I appreciate how the waitress was able to put us on a waitlist prior to us getting to the restaurant. We also appreciated their transparency on being halal inclusive and not exclusive however, I’d say the food was mediocre. The chicken Benny was lacking seasoning and felt a bit oily and heavy. The brisket bowl was good. The wedges were crispy and soft and the sauces had good balance of flavour.
About Namo Cafe Bistro (Edmonton Trail)
At 824 Edmonton Trail, this brunch cafe also serves dinner, and its lamb and other proteins are halal. The kitchen calls itself halal-inclusive rather than halal-exclusive, so mention your needs when you order.
The fried chicken is the dish to get. For brunch, try the Green Goddess or the fruit and nut French toast, and start with the mushroom bruschetta. For drinks, the mango lassi, hazelnut latte and honey cardamom latte are all good. The menu has plenty of plant-based and other options for dietary restrictions.

Before you go
The room is small and lively, and it turns over fast. Staff can put you on the waitlist before you arrive, which helps when it is full.
