Staying at a hotel near Edmonton International Airport (YEG) and looking for breakfast near YEG airport hotels that is more than a lobby buffet line? Cravings and Delight is a family breakfast and brunch restaurant in Desrochers, southwest Edmonton — a straightforward drive from YEG up the QEII / Highway 2 corridor, about 15 minutes from the airport. We are not beside the airport, and that is the point: a short drive gets you a proper sit-down breakfast, cooked to order, before a flight, after a layover night, or at the start of a day in Edmonton.
Why hotel guests make the short drive
Hotel breakfasts are convenient, but they are rarely memorable. At Cravings and Delight, breakfast is served all day, so your schedule sets the meal — not a buffet closing time. Order classic egg breakfasts, omelettes, Eggs Benedict, pancakes, French toast and skillets, made in a kitchen led by Red Seal Chef Kamal Bajaj, with General Manager Mona Bajaj and our family team looking after the room. It is a relaxed local restaurant near Heritage Valley Town Centre, with room for families, couples and small groups to sit down properly.
If you are planning your airport morning, see our guide to our breakfast restaurant near Edmonton Airport for the full picture, and browse Our Menu before you come so everyone already knows what they want when you sit down.
Before a flight, after a flight, or between nights
This stop works in both directions. Heading out? Have a real breakfast in SW Edmonton before the drive to YEG, instead of rushing through an airport food court. Just landed and staying nearby? Come in for a late breakfast — because it is all day, a midday arrival still gets Eggs Benedict or an omelette, not just lunch. Staying a few nights for work, a tournament or a family visit? We are also open for lunch and dinner, with burgers, pizza, pasta, steaks and seafood served until 10 PM most nights, so the same easy drive works again in the evening.
On Sundays, brunch is served from our regular menu — we open at 9 AM on Sundays. All-you-can-eat buffets are special occasions only, not a weekly Sunday offering.
Flying out later in the day? See our guide to breakfast before a flight from YEG for how to time a proper sit-down meal before you leave.
