Bloom by Phil & Sebastian

If you’ve tried to have a spontaneous brunch in Calgary, you know about long waits, no reservations and other obstacles between you and your Bennies. So, we were thrilled to hear our friends at Phil & Sebastian launched a full breakfast and lunch menu served from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at their Marda Loop location in late 2023. Co-owner Sebastian Sztabzyb says the plans had been in the making for some time.

“We didn’t want to just do it for the sake of doing it,” he says. “We wanted to do it right. So we took our time to make sure we created something that people would make the trip for.” We think they nailed it. Chef Tyssan Hough’s delicious menu complements P&S’s award-winning coffee offering.

We loved the Coffee Toast featuring P&S’s coffee-butter spread on fresh, crispy toast. The Ol’ Faithful Breakfast Sandwich is a work of art and a great bargain at $9. Try any of the sandwiches because the bread is great. We also really enjoyed the Oslo Hash featuring house-made salmon gravlax, pickled onions, fried capers, baby spinach, dill hollandaise, avocado and a poached egg. On weekends, P&S adds waffles and more.
