“An amazing culinary exploration. Strawberries on nachos…..WHAT? Don’t knock it till you try it. Thanks Nourish Bistro”

“The best place to eat Indian food. My family thoroughly enjoyed lunch with variety of vegetarian dishes.”

“Have you ever had a meal in which you just don't want it to end? The flavors enhanced one another. We had scallops served with a pork belly slowly roasted to perfection. Our bison burger was so tender, cooked med rare and the freshest beets, potatoes and carrots roasted . The carmel toffee dessert melted in your mouth. The service was spot on. a lovely meal to the end of a great vacation in Banff.”

“Amazing pizza!! The best ranch I have ever had as well”

“Excellent food and service. The overall atmosphere was great! I can't wait to go back.”

“Brazen should be at the TOP of everyone’s food list in Banff. The atmosphere, wait-staff( Rylee rocked!), and Chef Dan were amazing! The food and drinks were phenomenal and first class. We ate at many restaurants in Banff and none touched the quality and taste of Brazen. We started with drinks of local beers from the rotating tap and the Garden Tea Party cocktail. We then moved on to the food portion of the meal. We had numerous dishes (mushrooms, ribs, potatoes, duck, gnocchi, and the ginger beef) and were pleased with the bold and flavorful taste of them all. We topped off the night with the house special Creme Brûlée and it was the perfect end to a delicious meal. Do yourself a favor and try this excellent restaurant!!”

“This restaurant is a gem the staff where very knowlegable and sympathetic to are needs best table in Alberta so far the food was flavourful and amazing a big thank’s to the staff and a special thank’s to the manager”

“Definetly coming back if I'm around town Thank's Hikari chan and the rest of the staff ( Banff ) for good food and service gochisousama deshita🙂”

“Gorgeous venue. We have had Lucali’s in New York and almost all the dishes when we were in Italy, so no offense to either that LUPO’s hands down were better than both. Truly wonderful place for a good meal with great vibes. The ambience is bright and service is excellent. The food was delicious, especially the pasta dish we got. The drinks were stellar as well. View from the top was excellent. Happy hour from 4-5pm, great for a sunset view and deals. The pasta is made in house and you can see where hangs to dry. Almost every dish is a masterpiece, you need to pace yourself or you will end up ordering the whole menu. Thank you for the unbelievable meal, as well as stellar service from our server, you were awesome ❤️.”

“I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Fairmont Banff Springs, and let me tell you, it was absolutely awesome. The whole place feels like a castle in the Rockies, and the views are just breathtaking. The highlight for me was definitely the spa. It was not only beautiful, but super relaxing, with top-notch treatments that made me feel like a million bucks. If you're looking for a mix of luxury, relaxation, and a touch of magic, this place really delivers. Honestly, I could go on, but I'll just say it's a spot I'd totally recommend if you want an unforgettable getaway.”

“Wow! This beautiful restaurant has exceeded my expectations. Each menu item I tasted is absolutely delicious. The wine list is so unique and is an adventure in itself. This is a must try restaurant in Banff.”

“What a great place. The food is delicious and the staff is fantastic! Super friendly and exceptional service. Makes me wish we lived in Banff so we could become regulars.”

“Ambience was incredible and food was great. We were fortunate enough to experience thru the outdoor globe dining. Our kids ran around fresh mountain air while my husband and I were catered to by one of the best servers we’ve experienced. Zoran was enthusiastic and accommodating. He was very knowledgeable about wine and paired our meals and desert fabulously. Our one daughter has a very severe gluten allergy and the server took extra precautions to make sure food was safe for her. Highly recommend! And extra thanks to Zoran - our daughter hugged him on the way out !”

“I stayed one night for a great price and we were treated the best! Such a cute boutique hotel with great amenities. Bar/restaurant was nice and we got upgraded to the mountain view room. Would definitely stay again!”

“We had an exceptional time celebrating my birthday here thanks to our waiter David. He made our entire experience memorable from the moment we entered with his enthusiasm, great spirit and care.

We had small plates but everything was really delicious. We will definitely be coming back soon”

“I love this location. I usually make my way to Banff once a month, but on this particular visit I was blessed with David as my server. Super personable service. If I could put 10 stars for David’s service, I would.

Food was amazing as always. Thanks David! 😃”

“We didn’t have a reservation, but they were still able to seat us on a Friday night. We were absolutely blown away by the quality and taste of the food—the milk bread, the scallops, the Alberta Brant Lake Wagyu Beef, the carrots and broccolini, and the sundae! Would definitely return to try more items on the menu!”

“We went to Coyotes several mornings in a row for breakfast. Food was wonderful and service was great. Our last morning, we sat at the bar and watched the staff work in tandem to perfection. If we ever return to Banff, this place will definitely be our choice.”

“Maclab is your best choice for food on the Banff Centre campus. The menu is generous, and has options to satisfy many different dietary preferences. The space is very large, bright, and welcoming… and it sports an amazing view of the surrounding mountains. The wine and cocktail list is fantastic🍷- definitely recommend the BC wines. The service was friendly and professional, but keep in mind that Maclab can get really busy at times and so, you should be prepared for slower service. Until next time Maclab!”

“First time at this little, inconspicuous bar, Followed a friend’s recommendation 🤗 wanted to give a positive feedback. Small place, great atmosphere, music and food was amazing! Our bartender/ server was very friendly. I’d go again, Too bad I haven’t found it earlier”

“Atmosphere is lovely... if the day is nice. Food, service, overall pretty good. Best if you can enjoy a leisurely experience but it could be hectic depending when you go.”

“What an amazing little find. It is literally 1 room with (when we were there) an amazing team. It was cozy and the pizza we had was such a unique experience and things I NEVER would have put together but some of the best ever. Wine is good but need more “fuller body” reds. I would go back here for sure. - make a reservation!”

“There is a really lovely atmosphere in this bar … great beer and amazing nachos!!!! Best in the town and amazing value! Shout out to the staff who make you feel very welcome.”

Ms. Sanda also served us & was very delightful. We highly recommend La Terrazza and will be going back again!”

“BeaverTails is a must-visit in Banff!”

“Amazing place, awesome views love it ❤️❤️”

“Not too bad if you show up early for the lift. A bit expensive though. I spent nearly six bucks on a small hot chocolate which seems like a bit much for a machine hot chocolate”

“Love the coffee here <3 Every time we visit Banff, we get coffee here! Great service to boot.”

“I ordered the pizza, wings, poutine meal, and I have to say that these food items were one of the best eatings I've had in Banff over the various trips I've made with family. The pizza is crispy and fluffy while still holding the toppings firmly. The wings were extra crispy and delicious and the poutine was my absolute favorite. It's hard finding a good poutine with good gravy.”

“Between the amazing food and awesome customer service, you can't go wrong!”

“soooo yummy worth waiting in the line for it..”

“Good Foods and Drinks. Cozy atmosphere, very friendly staffs. I had a great dinner with 10 friends, so very spacious. Excellent view of the mountains.🏔️”

“Friendly staff. Amazing taste.”

“Great bar! It is the only one up tunnel mountain which is great for anyone who doesn’t want to venture all the way downtown and worry about getting a taxi back later when the buses have stopped. The live music and activities keep it fun, with karaoke being a big hit! It also has Free pool and darts if you want a more chilled night. Decent priced drinks so you don’t break the bank. The staff a fun and friendly too 🙂”

“I can’t say enough good things about Alpha Bistro. We stayed at RMR for a family vacation and went to Alpha Bistro for my wife’s birthday. We were initially somewhat apprehensive because it seemed quiet (off season) but Kelly made us feel so special and really hit the nail on the head. Dinner was phenomenal… we both ordered the steak. It was absolutely delicious and truly exceeded our expectations. Kelly made us laugh more than a dozen times and really made my wife feel special on her big day. We couldn’t be happier with this place. It will be a go-to for us in the future.”

“My wife and I always stay at the Canalta lodge in Banff and the Cafe is fantastic there, amazing coffee and drinks. Thank you to everyone at the Canalta you are amazing people and we appreciate all of your hard work and friendliness. You are truly an amazing group of people”

“This is the best Chinese fast-food restaurant in Banff. The staff are friendly, helpful, and welcoming. After several days of traveling, this was by far the best Chinese food I've had in Alberta. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Banff.”

“We came across this little gem while using the laundry downstairs. “Best hot chocolate in Canada!” We loved it so much we went back the next day for lunch before we left.”

“Decent quick serve Vietnamese spot in Banff. Order at the counter and sit down to eat or take it to go. Reasonable price point and a large menu with several vegetarian items to choose from, which is hard to find in Banff. Stopped in for a quick lunch and ordered the vege salad rolls (HUGE) and two vege tofu bowls. Big portions, I had some leftover to take with me. The food isn’t mind blowingly delicious, but it’s good. Washrooms were blocked off/closed and I’m not sure why.”

“We just love Subway sandwiches! The staff there are very friendly. And Miles did a good in serving us.”

“Never felt happier seeing a Starbucks than I did at this spot.

After hiking almost 30 to 60 minutes to get to the gondola, it was the perfect place to grab a good coffee and some pastry options before heading up on the gondola chair. They had great seating, good coffee, and friendly service.”

“Oh wow... I was honestly treated so much better here than I was at the keg that I worked for personally back in Calgary. Our server Lauren was so kind and spot on with our table service, and when the missus' steak was a little underdone for her liking, Lauren took care of it right away and had it cooked by the kitchen staff to perfection. Gerry/Jerry the General Manager came over to our table and wanted to make sure everything was tasting great (which it was!) and he was such a delight to speak with. I honestly wished my GM from the Keg I worked with back in Calgary was even half as friendly as he was! Thank you to everybody who was on that night for making our Valentines Day so amazing, and we will certainly be back to eat at the Keg in the Caribou lodge specifically! Thanks a million Lauren and Gerry!”

“Fresh, tasty, nice big portions . Very good service and affordable price. I would recommend that place to everyone”

“My husband and I had reservations at a different steakhouse for our wedding night- but when we arrived they had closed for Reno’s and didn’t even call us. We ended up choosing the Bluebird instead- and we were blown away! The best food we’ve ever had, hands down. Thank you for making our wedding dinner so special and delicious- and for getting us a last minute table!”

If you get the fondue meal I’d highly suggest getting the cheese sauce for the appetizer and the seasonal main protein offers are a fun blend of different meats! Atmosphere is super cozy and relaxed it’s a wonderful time!”

“Was just finding a restaurant to eat while visiting Banff with my boyfriend today. We decided to try this place and it didn’t disappoint. The service, atmosphere, and food was a 10/10. Jamie recommended us the Cajun beef short rib and it was perfect. Although we were kind of hesitant to eat the alligator bites, it was surprisingly really good. For myself, I had the crab and corn bisque and it hit the spot! We finally found a place to eat everytime we go to Banff. Thanks Jamie for the great food and memorable experience!😊”

“I had an outstanding experience at this German restaurant. The food was exceptional—the schnitzel was perfectly crisp and flavorful, and the short ribs were incredibly tender and rich. Every bite felt thoughtfully prepared and authentic.
What truly elevated the experience was the setting. The restaurant offers a stunning view of the mountains and a beautifully maintained golf course, creating a relaxing and memorable atmosphere. Between the quality of the food and the scenery, it’s a place I would gladly return to and recommend to anyone looking for a great meal with a view”
