Meet the owner

Brad Myhre isn't your typical restaurateur. When Galaxie Diner opened in June 1996, he wasn't hoping to capitalize on a retro diner fad, nor was he expecting a runaway hit for Calgary breakfast lovers. In fact, he never advertised – even from day one, he says – and purposely kept it a hole-in-the-wall for locals who would have to go out of their way to find it, a notion inspired by his travels through the quaint towns of Quebec and New England. "I just fell in love with those places," he says. It was the Littleton Diner, opened in 1934, in Littleton, New Hampshire, that inspired the look and feel of Galaxie Diner. The allure of old diners, with their hot coffee, cozy interiors and rich history, appealed to Brad’s adventurous and warm personality.

The interior of Galaxie Diner is narrow, shaped like a railcar. This is no accident – 1930s diners were designed to be shipped on flatbed railroad cars. It also looks right from the era, though not kitschy or a cheap throwback. With its Formica chrome tabletops, red vinyl booths and Venetian blinds, it’s a scene out of an old film – without the cigarette haze. The sizzle of mountains of hashbrowns, eggs and sausages being fried is part of the soundtrack, along with conversation and laughter. It’s a cozy, intimate setting.

It’s been a slice: The best sweet pies in Calgary

It’s been a slice: The best sweet pies in Calgary

A less traditional take on classic apple pie, Galaxie Diner offers an apple pie milkshake on its beverage menu. The cozy diner blends apple pie chunks in a creamy shake that must be slurped to be believed. Enjoy your creamy, shaken pie alongside Galaxie’s delicious overstuffed omelets and bottomless hash browns. This tiny 11th Street Southwest eatery is frequently lined up out the door.

Beltline breakfast: Morning dining in the heart of Calgary

An all-day hipster breakfast joint, the Galaxie is full of ’50s diner charm in both its decor and its menu. It serves the standards you expect – scrambles, omelets and Benedicts – but they’re fresh and hearty, and the eatery’s comfortable, cheery vibe makes them taste all the more special.

Where to find magnificent milkshakes in Calgary

Where to find magnificent milkshakes in Calgary

An all-day eatery just southwest of downtown, petite Galaxy Diner often has line-ups out the door. A beautifully appointed ’50s-style diner, the best spot to enjoy one of its premium milkshakes is seated on one of its lunch-counter stools. Classic flavours available in regular and large include vanilla, strawberry and chocolate, but also consider the slightly more adventurous apple pie, coconut and coffee.
