Maven

I really enjoy this breakfast/brunch spot, it's become a go-to when I visit Calgary. My family always recommends it, and for good reason. The menu features a creative Asian fusion twist on classic breakfast and lunch dishes, and the flavors are consistently impressive. This time, we ordered five different dishes plus one sweet item to share, and everything was delicious. Each plate was beautifully presented and had its own unique flavor profile, making it easy to sample a bit of everything. What made the experience even better was the warm, welcoming service. My cousin joined us with her newborn, and the staff went out of their way to be accommodating and kind. It's little touches like that that make a place memorable. Highly recommend this spot if you're in Calgary and looking for something a bit different but super satisfying for brunch.

Such a Lovely Spot for Brunch! We visited Maven for brunch, and it was such a cute place! I honestly thought they wouldn’t be able to accommodate us because I forgot to make a reservation, but luckily they were able to seat the five of us on the café side — which actually turned out even better, because it was much brighter and had such a nice vibe. The whole place has a beautiful ambience, lots of plants, and a cozy, modern feel. The food? Amazing. I ordered the feature of the day — chicken adobo with garlic fried rice — and it was delicious. We also tried the Salmon Danbury, the noodle dish, and the classic breakfast. Every plate looked and tasted like it was carefully curated. You can tell the kitchen puts real thought into the menu. We also got the matcha drinks, which were super tasty (though I wish the servings were a little bigger!). Big shoutout to our server, Piper — she was so sweet, helpful, and honestly just made the experience even better. Such a gem! Highly recommend coming here for brunch — just don’t forget to make a reservation!

Lately, I keep exploring on the best brunches restaurants in Calgary. Maven is always full and needs to book a reservation or join the waitlist. Luckily during Canada day, I was given a spot. The food is nothing short of exceptional, with each dish crafted with precision, balance, and bold simplicity. There’s a quiet confidence in the kitchen that you can taste. I’ve tried the Maven’s breakfast wherein you can decide which bread or protein you want or any side of fruits etc. The Blushing Coconut Tropical Refresher tastes fabulous. If you’re craving for Michelin style Filipino inspired cuisine, Maven is the place to be. The ambience is small, intimate, and beautifully designed a perfect blend of refined elegance. Service was flawless, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate. This is one of Calgary’s very best, period. An unforgettable brunch experience. Its 11/10 for me and I will definitely come back here.

The place has a really nice vibe, cozy and welcoming, and the service was friendly, which I appreciated. I ordered a mocha and it was honestly delicious, one of the highlights of the visit. As for the food, I went with the Stampede benny, but it just didn’t do it for me. There wasn’t anything special about it, and the potatoes were way too greasy for my taste. Overall, I still had a good time, mostly because of the atmosphere and that great mocha, but I probably wouldn’t go back for the food.

Everything seems to be perfect. Vibes, food and service. But for whatever reason, what I ordered wasn’t exactly what I expected. On the other hand I could see someone else enjoying it. My latte was pretty decent. I would give this place another try for sure and order something different. People around me seemed to enjoy their food!

Went here from brunch over the weekend - we had heard about it through social media/some of our friends and yes the wait times out long (for 2 people we were on the wait list for just over an hour - nothing wrong with that just something to be aware of) but the food was delicious. We both had the Bennie’s and you can really appreciate the flavours and fusion of the food. Food came out fast and tasted great. It was reasonably priced and the restaurant itself is quite cozy and unique with a little cafe/plant shop at the back. So all in all if you’re okay with waiting a little longer for a table then I’d give it a try!

Food - 5/5 The food was so delicious and well put together, I was still raving about it an hour later! Food came out quick!! Service - 5/5 The service was above & beyond! Our server was an absolute legend (totally didn't catch his name but he had awesome green hair), consistently checking in & even offered us coffee to go! Atmosphere - 5/5 Elegant but cozy feel. SO MANY PLANTS! Bonus - after expressing our appreciation & speaking to it being our anniversary, we were gifted 2 small plants! HOW AMAZING IS THAT?! 10/10 overall, we will definitely be returning (soon) & recommending to our friends! Reservation recommended!!
