Minuet Cafe Calgary

Tucked away in the community of Brentwood, Minuet Cafe has quickly won over Calgarians with its European-inspired pastries and quiches.

From rich, buttery tarts to savoury slice of quiche, this hidden gem delivers on flavour and craftsmanship.

Minuet Cafe

Housed in a nondescript, one-storey brick strip mall, circa 1965, in Brentwood, Minuet Cafe opened under the radar a year ago. But it didn’t take long for co-owners Julie and Shane Han to make friends in the community with their delicious European-inspired sweet tarts, cakes and quiche. Shane earned a master pastry chef diploma in Germany, where he worked for many years, honing his craft. Lucky for us. While the sweet tarts and cakes are decadent and delicious, I have a soft spot for the bacon-and-cheese quiches. Available varieties depend on the day you visit, but they’re all good, with melt-in-your-mouth pastry and a good balance between egg and filling.
