Namo Cafe Bistro (Edmonton Trail)
The Edmonton Trail location of Namo Cafe Bistro, a halal brunch spot keeping its lamb and other proteins halal throughout - and the one that serves dinner, unlike the Beltline branch, which is worth knowing if you want the same kitchen later in the day. What to order The fried chicken is what people think back on, and the Green Goddess and the fruit and nut French toast are the brunch picks. Mushroom bruschetta to start, with mango lassi or a hazelnut latte. The chicken Benny is the weaker dish by a couple of accounts. Good to know Plenty for dietary restrictions, plant-based options included, and the kitchen describes itself as halal-inclusive rather than halal-exclusive - reviewers appreciate the transparency. Small and busy, but it turns over fast, and you can be put on the waitlist before you arrive. Breakfast through dessert, reservations accepted, good for children and groups, with a children's menu, vegetarian options and free parking. Rated 4.7 from more than 1,400 Google reviews.
