Galaxy diner is a small, all-day breakfast, old school diner inspired place tucked away on 11^th Street (http://www.galaxiediner.com/). I confess, I really didn’t like the crab cakes eggs benedict,  I didn’t taste the crab at all. The Montreal smoked meat eggs benny was delicious though! I also liked that the bread component was a croissant. I thought it was a great substitute for an English muffin. As an extra treat, they give out double bubble gum with the bill. Overall, the eggs benedict at Galaxy Diner was average. There was no wow-factor or flavour explosion. Don’t get me wrong, it was good and I enjoyed my breakfast (well, the Montreal smoked meat benny), but it just wasn’t worthy of being the “best eggs benedict in Calgary”…  what can I say? I have high standards!
