4 Best Bistros in Banff

“Everything is freshly made daily including the bread and English muffins used for breakfast items, to the pastries and chai tea, also serve locally brewed coffee! The breakfast sandwich was such a pleasant surprise, it seemed simple at first glance but what a perfect combination of flavors and whatever seasoning was used blew me away. We also got the avocado toast which was elevated with a poached egg, goat cheese, and balsamic on freshly baked sourdough. The homemade chai tea like the owner’s grandma used to make was amazing. I normally don’t drink chai but loved my husband’s so much I had to get my own cup. It’s just a short drive from downtown, we noticed mainly locals and regulars coming in to this husband and wife owned shop. Update: After trying some other breakfast spots in town, nothing can compete with Bare Bistro so we revisited today getting to try to eggs benedict and omelette, the sauce used for the benedict was amazing (homemade of course). We also tried some of the pastries which were all perfectly baked and delicious. We’ve tried just about everything on the menu and haven’t been disappointed in anything. We will be back tomorrow to finish trying everything (mainly pastries left). Very friendly owners and you can tell they take pride in what they do (as they should). Thank you so much Fonda and Alfredo!“

“100% recommend to anyone🫶🏻 food is absolutely delicious😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨“

“The views at this restaurant really stole the show. The food was AMAZING and the menu had good variety for whatever mood you’re in. The wait staff was super friendly and offered great service, but they were a little inattentive, so if you need their attention or the check, just wave them down and they’ll usually be pretty quick to respond. When I went it was a Saturday at 6pm in May and it was really quiet, not super busy and had sports games, pool, and again an amazing patio with stunning views. It really hit the spot for us, and it supports the creative arts center which was a win. Would recommend!“

“The food is great, they fry it fresh right after you order it, it is big portion for the price they charge.
Being it in Banff I thought it would be overpriced, but it is better price than some other food court mall food in Calgary. I would come back in my next Banff visit.“
