I was trying to find a place to eat for dinner that was within walking distance from my Airbnb and Bridgette bar was the closest place I could find. If you're wondering what the vibe is like based off pictures, I can validate that the bar/restaurant atmosphere leans upscale. I came for the food and drink and after one glance at the menu, the prospects were promising. Arriving as a walk-in, I ended up sitting at the bar and ordered 2 appetizers. I had their Elk Carpaccio and Roasted Brussel sprouts. Both were delicious however between the two, the Elk was my favorite. Their cocktail menu was pretty good too. I ended up getting the Alpenglow Sour and it was refreshingly delicious! The service was good. Food and drink were paced just right and it didn't feel rushed. I didn't see a parking lot however there's plenty of parking along the side streets. Bridgette Bar is a solid choice if you're looking for a good meal/drink in a chill environment. read more

Awesome spot for happy hour half off drinks and pizzas (2-5pm every day). Upscale casual with gorgeous Mountain Views- offering both indoor and patio seating. Not impossible to walk in but would make a reservation if you're not willing to go someplace else if they're busy. Enjoyed the smashed potatoes, snap peas, and fennel salami pizza. All delicious and very kind wait staff. read more

We got grilled octopus salad, eggplant fries, ricotta dumplings, rigatoni, and a banana pie. The octopus salad was pretty good and I liked how the flavors balanced each other. Eggplant fries were crispy and good. The ricotta dumplings were a little disappointing and each bite was very dense, which was not my favorite. I did like the rigatoni though and the truffle flavor was very strong in a good way. Banana pie was very sweet. The only thing I truly did not like was the espresso. It was very sour. Server was great and ambience was too. read more

By far the best meal of the trip. So good. The tuna tartare was fabulous, the curry was something id like to eat every day of my life, the butter and bread was wonderful, generally was just very very happy here. The service was wonderful, the place was gorgeous and clean and the fireplace centrally was not lit but I'm sure so nice to have in the winter. Definitely a gem. Make a reservation and enjoy! read more

Our first stop in Canada and it was sooo good. I forgot to snag a picture of the whole pizza lol I was starving after our flights. The mushroom and arugula were so fresh, you can put it over the top with a squeeze of lemon! The Italian pork sausage pasta was TO DIE FOR! The pasta was a green pasta with fresh grated cheese and a wonderful sauce. Not pictured: Hummus, was delicious! Smashed cucumbers had so much flavor with the tahini dressing. read more

We came to Bridgette bar in Canmore after a long day of hiking when the weather was incredibly cold out. Bridgette bar was warm and cozy on the inside feeling like a dimly lit log cabin. The ambiance was romantic and comforting and all of the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. I mentioned that I had a sesame allergy and they helped me to pick out dishes that have no sesame and even took extra time to point out lactose friendly entrees. The dishes we decided to order and share were the crab toast, the maple bbq rainbow trout and the banana pie (which I took lactaid for). My goodness, just when I thought one dish was great each one blew me away with how delicious they were! Out of the three however my absolute favorite was the maple bbq rainbow trout. The fish was so incredibly buttery soft I could barely pick it up with my fork, and just the slightest tap made it crumble. It was atop this creamy mashed potato with a maple gravy and greens which melt in my mouth. I cannot recommend Bridgette bar more highly! It was one of the best highlights of my trip to Banff, Canada! read more

Celebrated my husband's birthday at Bridgette Bar and we were SO impressed at not only the fantastic food but also the sweet and warm demeanor from our server. Out of all the meals we had in Canmore, Banff, and Calgary... we can easily state that Bridgette Bar was the best as their dishes were perfectly executed. Worth tiring home about for sure! read more

Wish I knew what their food tasted like. It looked good. We went for happy hour to have a couple drinks and a snack at about 4:20pm. Went to the hostess stand and asked to sit at the bar at the two empty seats. The hostess told us there was a wait for the bar seating but she'd put us on the list. She said it would be about 30 minutes but she'd try to seat us before happy hour ended at 5. I asked if we could order a drink while we waited and she said no, their policy was no standing room at the bar. That's disappointing, but fine. It was busy and I can sympathize with bar staff if they're slammed. We were third on the list and a lot of tables looked like they were finishing up. We waited a few minutes and 6 (!!!) people got up and left the bar. We waited. And waited. And I asked about the empty bar seats and was told I was still 3rd on the list. The restaurant emptied out by about a third as it got closer to 5. At 4:55, I told her to take my name off the list (I was still 3rd in line) because I wouldn't be able to have any happy hour drinks by this point after staring at 8 empty seats for the better part of 30 minutes. The hostess then said happy hour last call was 4:30. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD TO KNOW 30 minutes ago after I said I was there for happy hour drinks. I've never seen a restaurant that wanted to take my money less than this one. read more

While staying in Canmore, my girlfriend and I decided to check out Bridgette Bar since it was highly recommended by others online and I'm glad I did. We did a walk-in for dinner here, and we thankfully were able to be seated relatively quickly. The interior is very modern and nice, with cozy vibes for when it gets cold outside. We decided to get the Crab Toast, the Maple BBQ Rainbow Trout, and the Banana Pie. These were all excellent, with lots of flavor in each one. The crab toast was light and crispy, while the trout was super juicy with a great sauce on it. The Banana Pie was one I decided to order after seeing them slice it for others, and I have to say that it is a great dessert. The outside is toasted nicely, while the inside is filled with banana cream, coffee, and rum caramel. If you're in Canmore, this is probably the restaurant that you want to check out. read more

Parking is tricky, there is construction in much of the area and street parking is very limited. There is a free parkcade nearby, so definitely look that up before going. The service is inexcusably slow. Our 11:45am reservation (we were the only people in the entire restaurant for quite some time) ended up waiting almost 2 hours to get our food, with no reassurance from our server that it was coming out soon. When I walked past the open kitchen I saw several employees doing prep work/cutting vegetables. This seriously needs to be addressed. For this reason alone, I would not return, and is the reason for the low rating. The drinks and food were good, I highly recommend the mushroom pizza. The atmosphere is pleasant, and there is a lot of natural light in the space, so sunglasses may be necessary if you're by the windows. read more

We came here last night for my birthday dinner. Our evening began with a beautiful surprise and delight from seeing a birthday card signed by the staff when being brought to the table. This simple little gesture set the tone for our entire dining experience. Our waiter Jacob was super attentive and was always in top of our orders despite a busy Friday night at the restaurant. We also made his life easier by knowing what we wanted by reading through the drink, food and dessert menus online beforehand. We have always read the menus ahead of time if we knew where we were going. Every single one of our drinks and food orders was unforgettably delicious last night. My husband had the Canmore Brewing Highline Largered Blonde and I opted for the Alpenglow Sour cocktail with rye whiskey. Both were light but stimulating for our taste buds to accommodate what was to come. Our eggplant fries were super crispy on the outside. The eggplant inside was warm and soft but not mushy at all. The spices of the coating was just right and not over powering. The yogurt dip helped bring all the flavours together. Our shared 24 oz T-bone steak and green beans came together. The steak was grilled perfectly medium rare. It has a good amount of fat and the meat was very tender as well. It was flavourful enough that my husband didn't even use the peppercorn sauce served on the side. The green beans were served chilled and its crispiness was actually perfectly paired with the steak. Our dinner was capped off with a huge banana pie with similar ingredients to a banoffee pie. It came with a sparkler, of course, for my birthday. The restaurant is deep in a quiet residential neighbourhood about a 20-minutes pleasant walk along the river from downtown. While the outside of the building is unassuming, the decor was modern, inviting and plush all at the same time. read more

Bridgette Bar in Canmore offers a cozy ambiance paired with a creative, flavor-forward menu--a perfect night out in the Rockies. Street parking is limited in this newly developed area of Canmore, and potential residential construction is still ongoing in certain sections. I recommend making an early reservation through the OpenTable app or contacting the restaurant directly. Upon entering, the hostess stand is positioned directly ahead. The dining area is expansive, extending toward the back left of the establishment. To the immediate left of the hostess stand is the main bar, which features a centrally located fireplace. I found the interior décor to be elegant, complemented by soft, ambient lighting. An outdoor patio is also available; however, it was not in use due to inclement weather. According to a previous review on Yelp, the patio may be reserved exclusively for patrons accompanied by pets. FOOD: 1. Eggplant Fries (3/5): There are 6 pieces, finished with a crispy bite. Still, the accompanying green harissa yogurt sauce gave it a flavorful lift. It was OK. 2. Garlic Bread (4/5): Surprisingly memorable for a cheese curd. Rich and buttery in the best way. It's elevated comfort food done right. 3. Wood Grilled Carrots (5/5): Sweet and perfectly tender. I loved the crunch from the cooked chickpeas. The seasoning and char brought these humble roots to life. Don't skip this! 4. Spiced Beet Salad (4/5): Fresh and well-balanced, with a hint of sweetness and spice. Great textures and plating. 5. Fennel Salami Pizza (4/5): It is a thin crust with a nice chew, and the fennel salami added a bold, slightly spicy note. It was satisfying with a great mix of onions, chili, and caramelized honey. I would order this again. 6. Grilled Lamb Saddle (4/5): There were 6 pieces of lamb, which were juicy. It comes with potato salad, greens, labneh, and mint. 7. Maple BBQ Rainbow Trout (5/5): Hands down the best of the night! The fish was flavorful, and the maple BBQ glaze struck a perfect balance between sweet and smoky. I would order this again. 8. Banana Pie (3/5): A decent finish--nostalgic and creamy, though a bit one-note. It could have used a textural element in it. The service was just OK. We found ourselves looking for the server a few times for extra water, and then when we wanted to order more. Would I come back? Yes! Happy Hour: Daily 2-5 PM with 50% off all drinks and pizza Late Night: Daily 10-11 PM with certain apps and pizzas (no discount) read more

What a lovely and lively dinner! This place in a Sunday night was hopping! Fun vibes! Great service! Tasty eats! They have a really nice wine, beer and cocktail list. Lots to choose from. We started with the elk carpaccio and the cauliflower. Both are excellent. The elk carpaccio is tender and you can actually taste the elk....they don't try to hide it in sauce and toppings. While the cheese looks like it overpowers the dish... It doesn't. The cauliflower is an appetizer but can be a side veg if you are looking for a veg to share for the table. Cauliflower was perfectly roasted. I had the octopus salad as my main because I wasn't super hungry, and it was perfect for me. The octopus was nice and meaty...and the fennel was light and crisp. The vinaigrette was a little too much for me... I could have done with a lighter touch of it. But still quite tasty! The banana pie was Fantastic! It is pretty big and sweet...so keep that in mind when you order it. The table next to us ordered it and we were commenting how amazing it looked so they gave us a slice of it which was still too much for me. Haha! Overall.... I'm pretty sure we'll be back if we have time while visiting the area. read more

While waiting for our room to be ready we decided to go here for a quick bite. They had happy hour 1/2 price pizza and a drink special. It was quite busy. We were sat at the chefs table, furthermost spot in the place. We did wait quite a while before being acknowledged. We ordered a pizza to share. It was the 4 cheese. It was good. We sat right by were some food prep was being done. It was interesting to watch. read more

Made a reservation for our trip to Canmore which I would recommend. It wasn't as crowded when we arrived but when we were leaving others without reservations had a little bit of a wait. Food was absolutely wonderful. We ordered the maple trout, fennel salami, elk carpaccio, and a bottle of wine. We settled for the carpaccio because they didn't have the bison tartar and it was recommended by our waiter. However I would not recommend the carpaccio. Some type of cracker/bread/crostini would really elevate it and off set the saltiness of the dish. Main dishes of maple bbq trout and fennel salami pizza were delicious. I preferred the trout over the pizza. The trout was perfectly cooked, a slightly crispy outside, and wasn't overly maple/bbq flavor -- wasn't "saucy" (5/5). However the fennel salami was definitely good, just not my favorite for the night. Fennel salami had a great balance to savory/sweet/smokey ratio (4/5). Was thin and crispy, I believe cooked over a wood fire. We were seated very quickly with the reservation and the host/hostess staff was very nice. Only complaint would be our waiters promptness. The patio has tables very close within each other so we could see/listen to the waiter small talking/chatting, which is totally fine....but we were having to track down water and fill up our own. As well as wait 10-15 minutes to find him and catch him walking by to wait another 10-15 minutes. Patio was very cute and comfortable. Great ambiance with a lot of seating. The inside seemed very lovely as well. read more

This is the best restaurant in Canmore. We came in for late lunch on a Friday and got the last 4 seats at the bar. (I recommend making a reservation no matter what time you come in). We received recommendations from the staff on their favorites and based on that we ordered the elk carpaccio, the burrata, the potato and ricotta pasta, and the cucumber salad. Oh man our favorites were the cucumber salad and the burrata. Honestly you can't go wrong. Everything is made fresh right in front of you and tastes amazing. The service is phenomenal. read more

Celebrated my wife's birthday here and was very impressed with both the service and food-overall a great dining experience! Had a reservation and were immediately brought back to a table with a hand-signed birthday card from the staff to my wife which was extremely thoughtful. The place itself is buzzing, but not loud and very well kept/relaxing. Drinks were fantastic! We had the Alpenglow Sour and Snowbird, both of which we'd order again. Service was prompt and polite with nice check-ins throughout. The food was prepared perfectly, and I believe I had maybe the best appetizer of my entire life. See below: 1. Appetizer (Small Plate on this menu): Burrata Cheese - wow is all I can say. This flavorful cheese was served over a sauce of pepper jelly and chilis with a side of char-grilled bread that was still warm. Spread the bread and enjoy, it was wonderful. 2. Entree (Large plate on this menu): Maple BBQ Rainbow Trout - perfectly cooked trout with a maple coating and served over a super flavorful sauce. The kale and potato puree were seasoned nicely and paired well with the trout. I heard the guy at the table next to us say he orders this every time, and I understand why. 3. Pasta: Shrimp & Calamari- nicely cooked pasta as well as the seafood (especially nice that the calamari was prepared well and not too chewy). The sauce was creamy with a nice bite that cut the richness, wish we ordered bread to soak more of it up. Overall, a wonderful birthday experience and will definitely have this place on our list for when we return to Canmore. read more

I've had better experiences at restaurants at 1/3 of the price. The pork was undercooked, unevenly cooked, and raw in places. They were out of 1/2 their beer list and it was a guessing game as to what they had left and were also out of some of their cocktails ingredients. Restaurant was incredibly noisy and you couldn't have a conversation. Service was very slow. I've been to Bridgette Bar in Calgary multiple times and have never been disappointed - they got 5 stars from me months ago. If you want to spend your $150 anywhere, there are better options. I wouldn't go again or recommend them. Go to Bridgette Bar in Calgary. Or find a fine dining experience that actually delivers on what they promise. read more

We came across this place during our stay in Canmore and had a really great experience! The food + ambiance are both great, and we showed up right at happy hour which is from 2-5pm. They have a nice heated outdoor patio where we sat, seemed like it's better to make reservations ahead of time to get indoor seating. Their pizzas/pastas are great, and my husband was a big fan of the lamb sausage! Would definitely recommend as an option for anyone wanting to do a nice lunch/dinner out! There's also a beautiful little plaza area with a pond to walk around afterwards! Parking can be a bit tricky (we managed to get lucky with a visitor spot along the street). read more

Hopping, popular restaurant in Spring Creek. We were recommended this place by our server at Blake. We didn't have a Rez and at 6:30 on a Tuesday night the only available seats were at the chefs bar, where you watch all the meals being prepared (fun for us, but that must suck for the chefs). Creative preparations and excellent cocktails made this dinner a win for us. We shared the hummus and smashed potatoes. I had the mushroom pizza (crust was delish) and hubs had the ravioli. We were too full for dessert but the banana pie looked amazing read more
