5 Best Wine Bars in Banff

“Great restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The staff are attentive and professional, and the food is excellent.“

“This is a unique experience. Pizza and salads are great but the location, the old library of the Banff Springs Hotel, makes it very memorable. The service is incredible. Dana has been a constant over many years and has set an unsurpassable standard that all staff have maintained.“

“My husband and I dined at 1888 Chop House on 12th May 2026 while on a 3 night stay at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. We had the most amazing dining experience there from the moment we arrived to when we left. We were even greeted by our first names which was a lovely touch. Our waiter for the evening was Morgan. He was so friendly/sociable and informative about the menu and helping us what to choose to eat and drink.
We had the 1888 milk bread with whipped herb butter to start and it was fabulous!
As the only fish dish on the menu was squid which I don't like the chef cooked me a halibut dish (not on the menu) and it was truly the best fish dish ever. Thank you again Aaron.
My husband had the ox cheek which he said was pretty amazing too.
We finished off with a selection of desserts and coffee .
I loved the champagne cart and did indulge.
If you get a chance to dine here do not hesitate - it is wonderful.“

“Devon was very thorough throughout the entire service, there at every request. Including providing helpful information about a local attraction we were planning on visiting. Overall an amazing dining experience, can say likely the best service I’ve had in a while.“

“Excellent value pasta meals available here as well as other types as well. The special all inclusive main, salad or soup and icecream and coffee is great value, fresh tasting, came out quickly and quite filling. Friendly service from our Aussie waiter, nice atmosphere and finally a value for money meal. What more could you ask for. Well worth checking out.“
