A Calgary breakfast restaurant that pledged to remain open for indoor dining has been ordered by Alberta Health Services to cease dine-in service.
Bennys Breakfast Bar, at 7007 11th Street S.E., defied the reintroduced ban on indoor dining until an AHS inspector shut the restaurant down for dine-in on Saturday after finding numerous violations. According to the notice of closure dated Monday, the inspector found people unmasked and within two metres of each other while waiting for a table.
