    This is the best place for brunch. The food is great, the service is excellent and I just want to keep going back. Do try the ginger beets, all the sourdough anything and the drinks, any of them!

    The Croissant Breakfast Sandwich was great! $50 for two breakfasts, an apple juice and a drip coffee. Seems rich but you can’t go out for less now. Food and service were great.

    Had another great experience at Primary Colours for Sunday brunch. The eggs benny w/ bacon was delicious — I love how they serve it on a hash brown! Great service, especially from Jamie, whose wears her passion for great customer experience on her sleeve. This is one of my top yyc brunch spots, and an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a trendy, modern, and relaxing restaurant experience.

    First time at primary colours for the yyc food and drink experience and the gourmet 5 course tasting menu was amazing. There aren’t many places we have been where every course has been equally a good one. Great service, great timing. Will definitely be back again! Thank you.

    We had a delicious meal as part of the YYC Experience. The only let down was dessert. The carrot cake was pretty low quality.
