Namo Cafe Bistro (Macleod Trail)

The south-side branch of a small Calgary brunch group, and a breakfast-and-lunch room by design: it opens at 8am and closes at 3pm every day, so it is the one to know for a morning meeting rather than a dinner. Eggs, benedicts, waffles and coffee, the same menu that made the Beltline and Edmonton Trail rooms busy. Good to know Halal throughout, in line with the rest of the group — the kitchen’s own practice rather than a certificate. Its two siblings run 4.7 from 1,400 on Edmonton Trail and 4.8 from 1,100 in the Beltline, so this is the quietest of the three rather than the weakest. Open 8am to 3pm, seven days. Dine in, take out, delivery; reservations taken, good for children, a children's menu, vegetarian options, step-free entrance, free parking. Rated 4.7 from more than 650 Google reviews.

We had booked a table online in the Macleod location and mentioned it was for a birthday and hence asked for a nice table to be reserved. Upon arrival I noticed it wasn't very busy and lots of empty tables but they had us seated in the middle of restaurant with a very shart and annoying light above. Immediately asked the server to please at least seat is at a booth as we were celebrating a birthday, he was quick to say we don't offer any special treatments for birthdays but he sat us at a booth. The menu looked pretty tempting. The server was pretty accommodating when I asked her to cut the sugar of the drink I ordered by half. I ordered the California bowl which had pulled chicken. The pulled chicken DID NOT taste fresh and you could definitely notice that it was leftovers. Honestly I was extremely surprised as given the high ratings and the atmosphere of the restaurant I did not at all except this. Drove all the was from NW part of town and left very disappointed. In the picture you'll see the veggie omelette with fruits and farther in the back the California bowl.

I’ve been to all three locations, but the Macleod location feels the most vibrant. The service is attentive, and the timing is impeccable; from placing your order to taking your first few sips of your beverage, your meal arrives in moments. The Duck Confit Monte Cristo has been my go-to dish my last two visits. The balance of sweet, salty, crunchy, and savoury flavors is spot on, and the eggs are always cooked to perfection. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu here. Every visit leaves you feeling incredibly satisfied!

First time here and overall a good experience! The food was good, though I was expecting a bit more from the eggs benny. Service was great, super friendly and attentive throughout. The matcha was okay for me, around 6/10, but I think it has room for improvement. Still a nice visit overall, and I’d come back to try other items :)

We held a large family brunch and Namo was our obvious choice. Every time I have been here the food is Michelin star quality with fresh locally sourced ingredients. Literally everything in the menu is worth ordering at least once. The only thing better than the food is the service! Today we had the pleasure of being taken care of by Savannah and she timed our meals perfectly, took care of our kids, and made a complex order seem easy. We will be back!

So many items on the menu it’s overwhelming - regular brunch, Asian, Indian, Middle East -fusion - they have it all! Priced like any other brunch place (standardly overpriced) and lots of open space at this location. Not jam packed tables together. Ordered Angus Brisket brunch bowl and smoked salmon crepe. Wish the spinach in the brunch bowl was sauced like the arugula in the smoke salmon crepe. The Spinach and wedges are equally dry so adding sauce a tangy sauce would have make this dish even better. Good hearty brunch menu item and super filling. Because there is so much on the menu and not really anything of speciality, this place doesn’t really stand out to me. Everything is good but just good. I would recommend as standard brunch place.

If you are looking for a solid brunch spot with a great atmosphere, Namo Cafe Bistro is it. The vibe inside is super nice and comfortable, making it a great place to sit back and enjoy a meal. The food absolutely lived up to expectations. I went with the Fried Chicken Benny, and it was incredible. The fried chicken was cooked perfectly, and the combination of the sauce with the poached eggs worked so well. It also came served with a side of crispy, seasoned potato wedges. We also got the Belgian Waffle, which was fantastic. It's awesome that they offer a vegan and gluten-free option for it, and it tasted great served with the fresh berries, powdered sugar, a side of whipped cream, and sweet berry compote. The portions were generous, the quality was top-notch, and the presentation was excellent. Highly recommend checking this place out
