We got the mushroom risotto (so unique), the vegetarian bao bun, and the vegetarian lettuce wraps (make sure to ask for vegan so they can sub the non-vegan sauce). The only con was that the restaurant itself was small and can only take a few parties at a time. We got lucky and took the 6 remaining seats at the bar, but be prepared to wait if you're a bigger party. That said, the staff and bartender were very nice and service time was fairly normal. Would recommend!

Great service and cozy interior…read more Food wise it's just your average Asian food but made "upscale". Maybe it's cause I am Asian but I've definitely had better and cheaper versions of most of these dishes. Galbi was the most disappointing especially for the price. Cocktails all hit!

If you're craving authentic Louisiana cuisine in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Tooloulou's…read moreabsolutely delivers! As a native New Orleanian, I know true Cajun and Creole flavors, and I was genuinely impressed. The food was rich, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, capturing the soul of Louisiana cooking in every bite. Beyond the incredible dishes, the atmosphere was warm, lively, and inviting. The hospitality from the wait staff truly stood out; they were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. I highly recommend Tooloulou's to anyone looking for an unforgettable meal in Banff. Five stars all the way!

Tooloulou's is a great spot in Banff if you're looking for bold, Southern-inspired food with a lot…read moreof flavour. We tried a mix of items including the alligator bites (crispy and well-seasoned), seafood gumbo (rich and hearty), and a blackened chicken sandwich that was cooked perfectly with great spice. The mimosa was a nice touch, and the Waffilicous with caramel sauce for dessert was easily a highlight--decadent and definitely worth ordering. The only downside is that the restaurant is on the smaller side, so seating can feel quite close and a bit cramped during busy times. Overall, the food and experience easily outweigh the tight space. Definitely a place I'd return to.

I visited Bear Street Tavern based off of a recommendation by a coworker. Beer and pizza is usually…read morea winning combination and Bear Street Tavern is a great example of this. Admittedly, I'm not much of a drinker but I'll have some once in a while and Bear Street seems to have a pretty good selection. I tried a Vietnamese Coffee Stout which I enjoyed. I'm definitely more of an eater than I am a drinker and the eats at Bear Street Tavern are excellent. My party got 2 pizzas and a salad and we enjoyed it all. To start we got the Tavern Bowl. It's a bunch of different vegetables with a Tahini Miso Dressing and kimchi on top. All the different textures and flavors worked really well together and the salad served as a nice break between bites of pizza. The Wheeler Hut pizza has mushrooms, ricotta, truffle oil, pesto, and mozzarella. If you're a fan of truffle flavor you'll enjoy this pizza. As soon as it was brought out I could already smell the truffle. The Mediterranean has olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, red onions, chili flakes, spinach, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze. A little busier than the Wheeler Hut, but it was equally delicious. I'm not sure which pizza I liked more. Both pizzas had a fantastic crust with some char. Substantial enough to stand up to the toppings but still a little doughy for a nice chew. The char gives a nice crunch as well. Service is quick and friendly and the prices are fair, especially in a tourist area. I definitely recommend Bear Street Tavern.

May 12, 2026. Everything about the Maple leaf was…read moreoutstanding! My wife enjoyed a nice sparkling Prosecco to kick off the evening with our nice-sized Prince Edward Island oysters. We then shared a Waldorf salad, which was refreshing and nice. Then we both selected red wine varietals grown in Canada. I had a Cabernet/Merlot blend which was super great. Would've never guessed it was from Canada. Next, My wife enjoyed a Pinot Noir that was light and complimented our entrée perfectly. Our entrée was the fillet and prawns served over a garlic mashed potato. This is an absolutely extraordinary dish. We shared it and it was just enough for two people. It is a full meal for one person. The filet temperature preparation was perfect. The prawns were extraordinary, and the garlic mashed potato made you curl your toes! Then we closed the evening with the melted chocolate soufflé, which was divine. Here's the one thing that they missed and to me it's an important miss. They use an automated system for taking reservations. And it kept asking for my name to which I said "Chris" and the automated system kept asking me what's your name!? So it asked hey fourth time and in my frustration I got playful and I said "Big Daddy." And it happily received my name and took my reservation. And then asked if there was any special occasion and I said yes my wife and I are celebrating our anniversary. I get that it may not seem normal to say "Big Daddy party for two". So I'll kind of let that pass because neither front door or upstairs Host was willing to ask. But what I don't like that was missed was our anniversary wasn't acknowledged. I was a server for years, and every host gave the server some type of chit or note to let them know if there is a special occasion. We specifically selected a higher end restaurant for anniversary. So somewhere in there, even if you weren't brave enough to say "Big Daddy for two." Someone still should've checked if you were celebrating any special occasion to which we were. Our anniversary. Our server was fabulous. She was super kind helpful and shared about her experience being in Banff. She made us feel great. My overall experience, the Mapleleaf is a great restaurant. But I'm scoring you an A- because you missed our anniversary. and that's why we chose you. So if you're going to use AI, you can't miss special occasions. Chris & Trisha from Long Beach, CA

Soup Sandwiches to the rescue!!…read more After a day of hiking and exploring in the Mountains, we were tired, sore, and hangry. Noshing throughout the day we were set on a good soup and sandwich combo. We checked multiple locations and either it was high-end foo foo or just more than we want or just worse. It was pub grub and they had one soup and they weren't sure what it was. We found Wild Flour. They offer multiple soups and sandwiches and a few treats. Kathy selected a carrot fennel bowl (massive) and served with fresh bread and butter, I had a meat and cheese grilled cheese on a focaccia bread, Of course we "shar-zies" and the comfort was enjoyed. The team at 630pm was helpful and prompt guided us as we had not eaten at Wild Flour. Good food, reasonably priced for Banff is a find. Go to Wild Flour and enjoy... we did.

It was our first time trying raw bison, and it was such a unique experience! I've actually wanted to try tartare ever since I saw that one Mr. Bean episode, and I'm very glad to report that I liked it much more than he did! My daughter and I also tried elk for the first time, and we both absolutely loved the "gamey" flavor. While Vancouver often gets all the credit as the food destination west side of Canada, Banff has something entirely different to offer that you simply can't find in the city. It's a unique, rustic experience that feels perfectly suited to the mountain setting. It's rare to find a place that is this interactive and fun. We enjoyed it so much that we are already looking forward to coming back on our next trip to Banff!

This place is dark inside, cool vibe, give 15 minutes for your eyes to adjust! Had the hunters plate on hot rock. Boar, buffalo and venison. You cook the meat on a 600 degree stone on your table.

Something else we like more than others and would get over and over again and that includes the mushroom ravioli, cheesy gnocchi, the purple haze smoothie and kimchi burger. And I believe my husband really enjoyed his legume burger and I enjoyed my falafel salad however I substituted my falafel's for tofu. Ambience is great not too loud indoor and outdoor seating.
