    Buffet, bar, water on tables
    Clifford W.

    Altitude Restaurant buffet 29.00 CAD. Eat buffet or sandwiches in cafe. Buffet eat all you want but entrees tasted only average. Tasted like high school cafeteria food of olden times. Best items were the fried fish sticks and egg salad. Beef stew tasteless, curry chicken needs more curry, soup needs more salt, etc. Free coffee, tea, water, and desserts. Bar drinks extra.

    fries with poutine!
    Amanda M.

    I'm confused about last reviews and photos because we didn't have any sort of Asian dishes here. Whatever. We ordered the poutine fries here which was something I had been wanting to try for a while! I started to give up the idea because I figured most places had a meat based gravy but this place said theirs was vegetarian. SO! We tried the poutine and the portions were gargantuan! They even asked if we wanted another stack of fries. Cray. They were pretty yummy though. We also had the portobello burger which took quite a long time to make but it was decent as well.

    Altitude Restaurant and her sister restaurant, Chalet, are part of the Glacier View Lodge…read more Altitude offers breakfast, a lunch buffet, and table service dinner, while Chalet is more of casual grab and go spot. We decided to try Altitude and stopped in for an early dinner. As one of the first customers we had a choice of tables and selected one of the many that had windows looking out to the beauty that is Canada, mountains and the Athabasca Glacier. You don't get that kind of view in Florida, that's for sure. This has been a great vacation so far. I started with their Mushroom Bisque followed by their Short Rib. It wasn't a great meal but a good one. The bisque was a bit bland but the quantity was there, I was satisfied. Same for the short rib, could have had more flavor and be juicier, but it was fine. After a day of Icefield Parkway awe with many miles (err, kilometers) yet to go before reaching Jasper, this was a welcomed break. Service was friendly and attentive, we were well taken care of as we enjoyed our visit.

    I appreciate the fact that they have all these nice amenities near the natural wonders. It can be…read moretricky, bringing all these many tourists to places that are both awe inspiring, and fragile. The Altitude Restaurant has a full buffet that can pretty much satisfy most appetites. It has plenty of cold salads, hot entrees, desserts and beverages. I especially enjoyed the slow cooked, barbecue brisket. It was fatty, but that's the way I like it. The views outside the windows were spectacular. Most of the help was new, but eager, and friendly. Would recommend to others visiting the area.

    Stopped by here for lunch while visiting Emerald Lake. The location is great--right in the lodge…read morearea near the lake, though you do have to walk up a bit to find it. When we arrived, the server told us we could sit anywhere. After sitting down, we waited quite a while before our server came back, which was surprising since there were only a few tables occupied. We eventually ordered the salmon fillet. We also wanted to order drinks, but our server never returned, so I had to go up to the bar to order instead. That said, the salmon fillet was actually really good and definitely the highlight of the meal. I just wish they had more food options, as the menu is pretty limited.

    Stopped at the Emerald Lake Lodge for lunch while visiting this beautiful lake. Parking is tricky…read moreas we parked in the lake viewpoint lot, since we weren't guests of the Lodge. The parking lot is large but fills up fast with tourists so many park along the main road leading up to the parking lot. The food here was outstanding! Our server wasn't very friendly or welcoming. She was too busy chatting with the bartender. Our food was served warm, so at least she served our food timely. I was so impressed with my salmon filet and potato & spinach tart! They were both sooooo good, I think my husband was jealous of my menu choice. He had the crispy fried oyster mushrooms burger with their soup of the day, chickpea marsala. He said his was good, but he was not overwhelmed like I was. We ordered the molten cake for dessert. My oh my, was it delicious! So dense and quality dark chocolate...yum! It was accompanied with vanilla bean ice cream with a melted chocolate on top that made a hard shell, strawberry slices and a s'more on a stick. Soooo frickin good! Compliments to the chef! Never imagined I'd be served such amazing cuisine at a lake Lodge. Overall I would definitely be back to eat their food, but servers could take a lesson in hospitality.
