Quiet diner-style restaurant in Banff…read more I had the chili and it was very chunky heavy on the peppers, but came with sour cream and a side of cornbread (which was delicious). They charge for lemon water, which was the first time I've ever encountered some place of the sort, but it was listed on the menu so that information was clear.

The service really stood out--our server was hands down the friendliest we encountered on the trip. She was the only server working but still managed multiple tables with ease, answered all of our questions about the menu, and genuinely elevated the whole experience! We ordered a variety of breakfast dishes, and everything was solid. Nothing was particularly standout, but it's breakfast food--you can't really go wrong. If you're looking for a reliable breakfast spot in Banff with plenty of options and memorable service, I would recommend checking this place out!

Worst Mexican food. For 2 burritos, 5 tacos and 2 margaritas it was $150! I didn't even know you…read morecould screw up tacos, but they did. 1. Shrimp taco was dry and flavorless. 2. Chicken taco was spiced like pumpkin pie, oh my gosh it was gross! 3. No, it's not salsa, it's a sad pico de gallo. 4. Tortillas are 6in and clearly store bought. 5. Margaritas are a premade and pre-melted slush. 6. The rice was sliced with the same pumpkin pie spice, that is not Spanish rice 7. The beans looked like they were dumped out of a can. 8. They brought everything in styrofoam and brown bags like it was to-go, but we ate there. 9. Pork taco was just a lump of wet, flavorless meat. 10. Don't go here. Get real Mexican food elsewhere!

Everything tasted good, came out fast, and hit the spot without trying to be anything fancy. Prices and service were good--definitely one of the more affordable stops in Banff--and the food had good flavour for what you're paying. The margaritas were easy to drink and matched the relaxed vibe of the place. Overall, it's a decent stop if you want something simple, quick, and tasty without breaking the bank. Nothing over the top, just good food and a laid-back atmosphere. The only negative thing worth mentioning is the place could use a dust and a bit of a clean. Nothing that ruined the meal, but it was noticeable and we didn't like that.

I'm a solo traveler and hiker. I like to stay in Canmore vs Banff...not just because this place is…read moremore affordable in general, but because of the people. You also get a wholesome feel of what local life is about. If this type of experience is what you're looking for, "The Graze" should be your #1 stop. I arrived at Graze before noon so I imagined it would be rather slow. Turns out this place was packed! (Literally every table was taken... woah!) I was greeted at the door by Logan and because it was just me. He asked for my preference first and then sat me at the bar. Loved that! It's one of the first places open early morning in Canmore that serves both drinks and a DAMN good breakfast! So, tbh if you are a group of 2+ and you want a good seat I'd suggest getting here before 10am. I suggest asking for Martha as a server. She's phenomenal. The service all around is 100%. Five stars without a doubt!!!

A little bummed they divided our group into two and placed one into one room while the other outside the door. Service was fast and friendly. Food was okay, just as I expected. My mozzarella cheese pull did not pull at all. Not sure if it was sitting out too long or what. Expect the restaurant to be loud which is fine. The bathroom location is atrocious, having to walk up and down those steps is not very fun mostly when you have kids and have to go more than once.

Had a nice ambience with plenty of seating inside and outside. However we found it was a little chilly inside the restaurant, especially near the windows where we were seated. The staff was friendly, but we found that service was a little slow even though it was not busy at the time of our visit. We appreciated the variety of breakfast items. It was definitely catered to international visitors. However, the food itself tasted just average. We ordered the Eggs Benedict with avocado and tomato, pancakes, French toast, and the omurice. The eggs Benedict came out cold, the omurice needed some additional ingredients for flavoring, and the pancakes and French toast came out dry. They charged us extra for a little tablespoon of extra maple syrup. The only tasty item was the smashed potatoes. Overall, would not recommend this place. It didn't seem like the price matched the quality of the food or the service.

Bankhead Restaurant and…read moreLounge offers a versatile environment with its fusion cuisine, whether it be a romantic or family dinner. It's a great spot if you're looking for a mix of international and Western flavors. Reservations can be made directly from their homepage via TouchBistro. There are about 10 spots available in the private parking lot. While it was too cold to enjoy the patio during our visit, outdoor dining is available in warmer weather, and the mountain views from the restaurant are stunning. FOOD: 1. Firecracker Calamari (3/5) - Crispy calamari with sautéed peppers, soy, and sesame. Unfortunately, this appetizer had more side ingredients than actual calamari. It's shareable between 3-4 people, but I wouldn't order it again. 2. Canmore Pasta Bison Ravioli (3/5) - Served with a creamy au jus sauce, sautéed mushrooms, and parmesan. I didn't try this one personally, but those who did said it was just "OK." It comes with one slice of garlic toast. 3. Chicken Nirvana (4/5) - A coconut-based gravy with ginger, green chili, curry leaves, basmati rice, and Kerala parotta. The curry was a bit watery for my taste, and I wished the spices were more pronounced. That said, the parotta was nicely crisp -- always a win. 4. Alberta Beef Short Ribs (3/5) - Served with vegetables and gravy. I had a few bites and liked it, but something felt like it was missing -- I couldn't quite put my finger on what. 5. Atlantic Salmon (5/5) - Paired with a tarragon leek lemon emulsion and vegetables. I rarely order salmon at non-Japanese restaurants, but this was an exception. The salmon was perfectly cooked -- not dry at all -- and the emulsion brought everything together beautifully. The service was OK. The server was pleasant, and our drinks never touched the bottom. However, we had an early dinner time, and they were out of two items on the menu. Would I come back? Maybe. I'll explore other places before coming back.
