Description:
Casual and unpretentious, this eatery has provided Banff with affordable Italian cuisine for more than 20 years. Its homemade pastas are particularly desirable, and paired with great sauces and fresh ingredients, they're a recipe for satisfaction. Chicken and veal dishes are also offered; one of the most enticing is Veal Valdostana, a scallopine stuffed with prosciutto and Fontina cheese, crowned with a wild mushroom sauce. A local treat, smoked trout, is prepared in-house and makes a tasty starter. Desserts are also homemade and include Frangelico ice cream and Swiss chocolate mousse. Scotches and cognacs are available too. |

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. |

Dotted with classical busts and ethnic accents, this family-owned restaurant shakes up the dining scene with its authentic Greek cuisine. Those craving traditional dishes will be pleased by broiled calamari, dolmades, moussaka and souvlaki. They're made with care, just as you'd expect. Other options include stuffed peppers, grilled salmon, Greek ribs, lemon chicken and several different pasta dishes. The house specialty, roast lamb, is fantastic, as are the broiled lamb chops and Balkan steak. Lunch specials are ideal if you've already got dinner plans but develop an insatiable desire for spanakopita during the day. Special Greek fun nights include belly dances and live music – OPA! |

Description:
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. |

Description:
Service is largely mechanized at this kaiten sushi bar, where small train cars circle the dining room, laden with sushi of all formulations. Diners look for their favorites and pluck the dishes from the train, selecting as many or as few as they want. Color-coded plates then indicate to the servers the prices of each selection, and they tally up the cost and present the bill. The most popular rolls and choices are constantly supplied to the train, but customers are free to make requests to the chef as well. The whole experience is as much entertainment as it is dining, and if you get carried away by the novelty, you may find yourself with quite a hefty tab. So eat well, but eat carefully. |
