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. |

Description:
This expansive dining room is one of the hotel's largest, most popular venues. It's usually busy throughout the day, but it makes the most of its space by offering both a la carte and buffet dining. In the evenings, the menu focuses on Canadian fare, especially steaks and seafood. Appetizers include oyster mushroom chowder and Dungeness crab cakes; rotisserie options feature duck and chicken, succulent when roasted on a spit. Alberta beef is offered in several different cuts and comes with rich, accompanying sauces, and you'll also find pork chops and local trout on the menu. Reservations are a smart idea, especially if your time in Banff is limited. |

Chicken, duck, caribou, lamb and salmon also join the list of options. An ideal choice for an evening out. |
