Description:
Refined and elegant, this distinguished restaurant pampers diners with fantastic regional cuisine and the soothing strains of a harp. The menu takes Canada's best ingredients and produces such dishes as roasted young partridge with truffles, pecan crusted caribou, and cedar-roasted Alaskan sable fish. Appetizers are just as tempting: terrine of Quebec foie gras, pheasant consomme, and roasted loin of rabbit with pancetta. The prix fixe menu changes seasonally, and a tasting menu with five courses is revised weekly. A terrific wine list and a selection of single malt scotches complement the cuisine beautifully. |

Bison Restaurant & Lounge |

211 Bear St Bison Courtyard, Banff T1L 1E4 • 403-762-5550

|

Description:
Attractive, contemporary-rustic décor is the ideal counterpart to the Bison'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 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. |

At the loft lounge, guests are invited to have a drink, hang out with friends, and enjoy the ambience. A bit out of town but worth the drive. |

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. |

Description:
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. The place is a Banff favorite for picking up a terrific cup of coffee and something sweet. Lunch is also popular, and you'll find soups, sandwiches, muffins, and daily specials on order. To get a real taste of the town, sit and enjoy yourself inside or at the single outside table. However, if you've got places to be or appointments to keep, they're happy to pack something for you to take along. It's often busy, but the lines move fast, especially if you get a coffee to go. |
