“Absolute MUST GO. We drove 30 min out of our way to go and it was well worth it. Amazing atmosphere, incredible customer service and the food is to die for. If you haven’t been here, put it on your bucket list. We will back soon and often!”
“🍸 4296 – A First-Time Delight! Tucked away behind an unmarked door, 4296 was a revelation. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance whispered charm and mystery. It was our first time, and wow—what a treat! The food was absolutely amazing—each dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Whether you're into small plates or hearty mains, the menu delivers with flair. But what truly made the night unforgettable was the staff. Warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate, they made us feel like VIPs without the fuss. If you're looking for a hidden gem with top-tier cuisine and stellar service, 4296 is a must-visit. We will definitely be back!”

“BEST INDIAN FOOD! This northern Indian restaurant was such a delightful surprise and hands down our best meal in Canmore/Banff. There were many traditional dishes with some interesting modern twists that didn't distract from the familiar flavors of India. We had a party of eight so shared a number of dishes and every single one was a standout. We left wishing we could franchise this in Washington, DC so we could access such deliciousness regularly back home.”
“The staff is top notch and the food is incredible . The tuna stack is to die for . Can't go wrong with any of the menu choices . 10/10 .”
“I had the best dinner of our trip through the Rockies. We had the chef’s 6 course menu. We don’t drink, so couldn't speak to the pairing experience, but the food wow. It was our first time having pheasant and it left a mark on our hearts, the crunchy skin with perfectly cooked meat juicy and flavorful. The bison was so tender and flavorful. The highlight besides the pheasant were the sauces, they played a lot with mushroom sauces which we loved. We payed 180 per person. The service was nothing short of amazing, they answered all the questions we had and the pace was perfect. They told us the tasting menu was pretty new, and we can’t wait to be back to taste future creations. Thank you to the whole team that make this experience possible.

“This was by far the best ice cream I have ever had in my life, I nearly shed a tear. The owner was very friendly yet professional, I could tell he is passionate about what he does. For anyone who is in the Canmore area, I'd make a trip here just to experience it.”

“What a wonderful and amazing place! I am celiac so the thought of a whole restaurant being gluten free was absolutely incredible. I indulged and ate foods I normally can’t eat like ginger beef and certain sushi rolls. The presentation was absolutely beautiful and I loved how the owner personally delivered our food items to our table. Every bite was incredible, and I savoured every minute. Among the chatter of other diners every guest said how good their food was! We had the most lovely server Uka and she recommended a great wine to pair with dinner. What a gem of a place with incredible service! Will definitely be back!”
“Wonderful hidden gem! We hiked the Grotto and came here. We had salads, pasta, flatbread and loved everything. Service was great and in October at 2pm we walked in and found a table for 7 easily. Don't come to the Canmore area without coming here!”

“My friend and I tried this Filipino-fusion restaurant recently and had a really great time. The food was delicious and the drinks were surprisingly good too. Everything we ordered had great flavor, and the prices were actually pretty reasonable for the quality. The staff were all very friendly, and our server in particular was SUPER accommodating and really entertaining, which made the whole experience even better. Shoutout to her—I believe her name is Randi, the best server in town. 😎”
“The Mediterranean hi Ken was really good with tomatoes, spinach and goat cheese. It doesn’t come with and any carbs so if you’re hungry you’ll want a side. My dinner partners had fish and c sweet potato fries and the meatloaf with mashed potatoes. We all ate everything on our plates and were too full for dessert can’t comment on wine or drink menu as no one had any. Beautiful view of Three Sisters.”
“We did not have reservations, but we did not have to wait long. We sat upstairs .
It was a little bit upsetting to see 2 tables come up after us and we're approached by a waiter or waitress as we sat waiting. When we did get served no recommendations were suggested, Food came hot and delicious. Worth the cost. No one left hungry.
The waitress did not check on us often. We could have had another drink. Mind you we were not drinking alcohol, so maybe figured we did not.
If you have a wheelchair or walker they have a elevator. But moving around a bit tight between tables.
What a veiw upstairs though.”
“We have visited Bridgette Bar Canmore on several occasions and each time is better than the previous. Food is amazing and cooked to a very high standard , atmosphere just perfect and staff are always friendly providing an excellent service. Will definitely be back to Bridgette when we r in the mountains. Thank you !!🏴🇨🇦”
“Patrinos has been our family's favorite restaurant in Canmore for years now. The menu offers good variety of choices ... everything from their breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner options. The servings are hearty and definitely fill the hunger gap after a day on the ski hill. The service is exemplary with skilled and friendly staff. Honorable mentions: Breakfast Enchiladas Montreal Smoked Sandwich BBQ Meatball Sub Salmon Dinner Honey Hot Wings Special thanks to our servers, Peter V and Jana S!!”
“We had a Monday night dinner special of Chateaubriand, it was amazing! The soup and salad to start were very flavorful, then the main dish, perfect cut of meat with a beautiful mix of vegetables and potatoe! At the end we had an incredible fresh baked chocolate chip cookie topped with salted caramel, ice cream and berries! We highly recommend this dinner and our server, Jess, was excellent! Thanks for a great night!!!”
“Amazing food, Awesome place, Great Service & a hidden gem ✨ I highly recommend!!!”
“Had a lovely meal in here last Tuesday before we left Canmore to head to Golden. I had the fish and chips, gorgeous and hubby had the Steak & Guinness pie, equally lovely. Heading back to Calgary tomorrow for a late flight back to UK so going to stop off and have another delicious meal. Thank you Georgetown Inn.”

“Place was very clean and well organized. Enough staff to process orders and super friendly. Efficient and fast. The food actually looks like the photo! Fresh off the press to eat and good. Didn’t scrimp on the fries. Best A&W I had in a long time. Other establishments should take note and sales would be higher. Have not had such a good experience with any fast food like this in a long time! Definitely will be back. Parking is tight.”
“Best Brazilian steakhouse I've been to yet. The meat is so tender and flavorful. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone. I’d love to go back the next time I’m in Canmore.”
“Oh we love coming here. The best staff the best pizza salad excellent and the tiramisu is to die for. Thanks so much. Jackie, Daren and Ellie 😋”

“Absolutely loved this place!! I had the best pumpkin spice latte from here. They did charge me $1 for water in a plastic cup, which I wasn’t thrilled about since I was already buying something else, but the employee did inform me she’d have to charge me before I paid. Definitely a must try coffee shop if you’re staying in Canmore, especially if you like PSLs!”
“Love this little jewel on Banff Ave. This little taproom has an upbeat, welcoming vibe as well as a great selection of beers. They sell craft sodas as well if beers aren’t your thing. They allow outside food, and if you wanted you could order a tasty pizza from Aardvark Pizza next door. Staff member Ellen is knowledgeable, delightful and friendly so if you’re not sure what to try, she will guide you in the correct direction every time. Clientele is a mix of friendly locals and people from all over the planet. It’s definitely worth the visit. Oh, and while you’re there pick up a few to enjoy at home!”

“we arrived in Canada after Alaska 2 weeks ago. we are 4 travelling Australians abd enjoy a coffee (like most Australians) every morning. we drink latte or flat whites and can honestly report that we had the best coffee at Cacao70Canmore that we have had since arriving in Canada. Thank you so much.”
“We randomly ended up here this evening, without even seeing the menu beforehand. At first we were skeptical, but man are we glad we tried it. We got 4 dishes to share between 4 of us and every single one was delicious. The service was great, the drinks were delicious, but the food was absolutely fantastic. Would eat here again any time. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“We visited CG March 14,2022 for a well deserved Margarita/Tacos after a long day in Johnston Canyon. My wife loved the Peach Pit margarita, very tasty and I had a Hot Tamale’ margarita shaken. The pick three tacos are a great addition too being able to try any flavor of taco you prefer. The fish tacos are by far the best. Definitely recommend the salted caramel cheesecake for your sweet tooth. Friendly, helpful staff. If your craving Mexican flavors definitely check out Cabeza-Grande. Thanks for the experience.”
“We ordered (ahead of time) some Sri Lankan short-eats and Lamprais from Nalaka and crew at Canmore Shawarma while visiting Banff in July 2024. The food was delicious 👌🏼👌🏼 The rolls had the same Sri Lankan goodness to them. 🤤 The Lamprais was out of this world. 🤩 Everything was made fresh and packed for us. Exceptional customer service by the staff as well. They went above and beyond to accommodate our request to pick up the Lamprais early in the morning on our way, even before the restaurant opened. Nalaka was very responsive on text messages and placing the orders and picking up was a breeze. We will be returning for sure and this will be a regular spot for food everytime we visit Alberta. 😊👍🏻”
“Excellent quality of the food - friendly service… 5 stars!!”

“I visited in September during my trip to Banff and Canmore. It’s been about a month, but the experience has stayed with me, so I wanted to share my honest thoughts.
I really loved the meat and sausages here. The quality was excellent, and everything felt like great value for money. I wish I could have brought more home.
Unfortunately, the service was disappointing on both visits. I was served by the same staff member
, both times.
On my first visit, I bought over $200 worth of products. After scanning everything, she told me the register wasn’t ready, so nothing had gone through and every item had to be scanned again. With that many items, the whole process felt frustrating and stressful. Mistakes happen, and I would have understood, but the dismissive way she said “my bad” made it more frustrating.
On my second visit, I ordered a sandwich for lunch. I was waiting for her to ask which vegetables and sauce I wanted, but she turned away and made it without asking me. I didn’t even realize she was making my sandwich, so I just stood there waiting. My latte was also cold—the milk was completely cold.
She didn’t smile, and her manner felt rude and unwelcoming to me. I ended up with a cold latte and a sandwich with no sauce, feeling really uncomfortable with the whole experience.
This is simply my personal experience.”
“We were in Canmore for 48 hours and went to JK’s three times. As a vegetarian I appreciated the veggie options (hello protein tomato and lentil soup!). The bread was AMAZING. I had the ciabatta egg salad, quiche, and pretzel baguette and all were amazing. I haven’t stopped thinking of that pretzel baguette….”
“What a warm friendly eatery, we had delicious sandwiches The Cuban and the Chicken Corden Blu wrap and fantastic local beer. The owner and staff were friendly and kind and our pup loved it . It’s off the beaten path , priced right and delicious fresh food We will be back for sure”

“Asian fusion food (Korean, Japanese, Chinese , Vietnamese, etc.) in downtown Canmore, Alberta, Canada. They opened later than most of the surrounding restaurants (closed at 10pm, while others closed at 9 pm). The place was very small, hence, very crowded, noise level was high but could still have conversation. The wait was long in getting a table. Menus were printed really large (wall size) and posted on the inside wall so people can select their dish before ordering at the counter. I chose Taiwanese Braised Pork Belly Noodles. Service was good, waiters were friendly. I felt satisfied leaving the restaurant after dinner.”
“This is an exceptional Subway Restaurant. This is a busy area and the only Subway for miles. I watched the three employees work as a team to keep the sandwiches flowing and customers happy. Most chains have a lunch rush this place has a day rush and the staff are friendly and professional and calm under pressure.”
“The food was good, but unfortunately, the customer service at this location was extremely disappointing.
I was dining in with my family of 10 while we were on our way to Kananaskis, and we decided to stop here for a quick meal. Since everyone had different sandwiches, I asked if the sandwiches could be wrapped individually so we could easily identify and manage everyone’s order.
The employee told me that because we were dining in, they do not wrap the sandwiches. Instead, he placed my sandwich directly on a green plastic tray without any parchment paper and said this was Subway standard and that the trays were clean.
I politely explained that I personally did not want my food placed directly on a plastic tray and would prefer parchment paper between the food and the tray. Instead of trying to accommodate the request or explain the policy respectfully, the employee responded, “You’re questioning my authority.”
That response was completely unnecessary and made the experience very uncomfortable for me and my family. What was even more disappointing was the lack of communication, willingness to help, and accountability when I raised my concern.
We were simply trying to have a quick and pleasant family meal during our road trip. The food itself was good, but the customer service made the experience unpleasant.
If you’re travelling through the area on your way to Kananaskis, I would personally recommend choosing another Subway location. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this location to anyone.”
“We are on a ten-day trip through Canmore and Banff, preferring to avoid heavy meals like burgers or steaks each night without resorting to cooking. Freshii offers a convenient, wholesome choice that feels as healthy as possible. I doubt buying ingredients from a local supermarket would cost less; the pricing here seemed fair. The place felt like a family business, and we were welcomed on every visit. It is good to support a local option that provides a healthy alternative to typical vacation food with minimal effort and reasonable cost.”

“new thai place in the bow valley . best thai around . the green curry is legit . also the pork Laab .”
“Beautiful scenery and incredibly friendly staff. The food is supposed to be good too. Will report on that later 😃”
“The food was excellent and the service too. the music was a bit too loud for the restaurant and the lighting should be a bit softer. The overall experience was very good”

“Honey, I shrunk the Boston Brute. Shouldn't there be a standard across the BP chain for serving sizes? I ordered a Boston Brute and it looked 1/2 size of one I had in Edmonton 1 week prior. Maybe that is a slight exaggeration but it was very noticeable. Service and food was great, and it was kids free month which was nice, but the $4 pop negated some of that, I guess prices are going up everywhere.”

“We just had dinner at Indian Authentic Cuisine and had a wonderful meal. One of us had lived in India for awhile and said the food was very authentic! I just thought it was delicious. We had garlic naan and rice and samosas and 2 main dishes. It was very reasonably priced and fed 3 of us. I would highly recommend the restaurant.”
