4.5 / 5.0(809 reviews)
Fantastic place. We came here on our way out of Banff very early one morning (me wife and baby), the place was fairly quiet, but the treatment we got was so amazing I am compelled to write a review! Clarence every time he came by would interact with our 6-month old keeping her entertained, and she was thrilled! Made our experience incredible. Then the food and setting of course is awesome on its own. But this is the lasting memory of this place for us was the incredible staff particularly Clarence and our server Theo who was also very helpful. Highly recommend the Benny options and the bison sausage! We came here to have our dinner together celebrate my wife's birthday and the ambient, staff and food was top notch! We ordered the truffle mash potatoes, Bison 3 ways (cured, steak, and sausage), pistachio cake, and sorbet (free for the birthday girl). We really liked the food and our server. If you haven't tried Bison before, try it! It has a meatier taste and apparently healthier than beef! We loved the view, they gave us blanket to stay outside even with the cold. The service was perfect, caring and thoughtful people. We had the eggs and bison, it was good but small portion. And we had the chanterelle crepe with sour cream and added the smoked salmon, smoke salmon was delicious but the garlic in the crepe was overpowering for us. We learned afterwards that the chef is Mexican so I would recommend to take the Mexican inspired food. But we LOVED our experience and highly recommend!

Our dinner at the bistro was delicious and the restaurant offers a vegan options. Our host Leo and Sid were gracious and very accommodating. We preferred their dinner menu over breakfast since it has more variety. Our breakfast was a bad experience due to cooking errors. Overall, I would come back for the beautiful view and the atmosphere in the evening.
