Description:
Affordable, casual and ideal for families, this easy-going restaurant is perfect for spur-of-the-moment dining or when you want good, reliable fare. The rustic decor, heavy with wood and stone, lacks pretense and comfortably accommodates diners young and old. The restaurant's real draw is its well-seasoned steaks, although the selection of seafood, pasta, chicken and ribs gets high marks too. At the Caribou Lodge restaurant, the Keg's original Banff location, you'll also find a well-received breakfast buffet. No matter which one you try though, you'll be welcomed and guaranteed to have a good meal. |

Sporting contemporary mountain ambience with leather chairs, a stone fireplace, abundant wood, and a big patio with views of the Bow River Valley, Muk-a-Muk (a Native American word for feast), presents an intriguing menu of regionally influenced dishes that utilize the best produce available. You might start with organic greens dressed with a vinaigrette of Inuit berry tea and lemon, sweet potato crab cakes with milkweed pod and juniper-gin mayo, smoked elk with apple-red onion chutney, or wild game terrine with bannock and red currant jelly. Main course selections have included dark ale braised bison short ribs with wild blueberries and AAA Alberta steak with chipotle-basil-roasted garlic butter. Deliciously different. |

For a quick bite and real hometown flavor, Evelyn's is tops. Charming Victorian decor with honey-toned woodwork, dried flowers and teapots welcomes visitors into the small shop.

Description:
Simple black furniture and an elaborate tile floor distinguish this restaurant, along with a bronze pig that holds court on a pedestal in the room's center. Windows look out over Banff Avenue, and a bistro feel presides throughout. The menu takes cues from all over the world, so along with burgers and steaks, you're likely to find Hunan kung pao pasta, tandoori chicken satay, and Thai green chicken curry. Ribs, chicken and pizzas are also on the agenda, along with a nice selection of wines and beers. Earls is particularly ideal when you want comfort, reliable food, and just to hang out in a relaxing environment. Plus, they have regular drink specials and a couple of their own signature brews. |

Bison Mountain Bistro |

Description:
Attractive, contemporary-rustic décor is the ideal counterpart to Bison Mountain Bistro's fabulous Canadian cuisine. The bison burger, topped with Saskatoon berry chutney, comté and house-made smoked tomato ketchup, is scrumptious. Interesting wood-fired pizzas are a worthy choice – try one with local Valbella bacon, tomatoes, arugula and gouda. Raclette, a mountain staple, is made here with three cheeses and accompanied by smoked bison, bündnerfleisch, cornichons, baby potatoes and steamed veggies. At brunch, the Benedicts (all served on a cheese-herb biscuit) are awesome – for something more unusual, opt for the duck confit and chèvre version. The lounge is popular for pre- and post-dinner drinks, and don't miss the General Store, stocked with fine cheeses, house-made condiments and great prepared meals. |
