We ordered to share: Bison carpaccio: 8/10, the large pieces of black salt(?) was overwhelming the bison, but otherwise very unique and worth trying Burrata salad: 100/10, super refreshing and unique palate of thinly ribboned squash covered with tarragon vinaigrette and burrata. Smoked trout doughnut: 8/10, interesting combination of sweet (donut, lemon glaze) and savory (smoked trout, herbed Crème Fraîche, everything bagel seasoning, pickled shallot) Individually: Strip sirloin: I didn't have this one but 10/10 for work of art presentation. Huge piece of steak though. Roasted chicken: 9/10 myself and one other got the chicken. Tender and well seasoned with sweet and spicy harissa honey glaze and chili crisps. It looked like they gave half a whole chicken to her and the other half to me, huge portions. Probably could've been 3 meals. Peyto's ribs: 9/10 had to get it for the touch of maple paprika. Seared ling cod: 9/10 it's the only portion that remotely made sense for a single person and didn't end with leftovers. The dimly lit atmosphere at Brazen is perfect to unwind in after a long day of hiking and exploring. The portions are generous and flavor profile recommendations between appetizers, mains, and drinks well explored. Highly recommend making an advance reservation to try!

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 restaurant has a welcome area next to a large bar (some people were eating here) and then two further dining rooms and an outdoor terrace area too. Although the restaurant was extremely busy, the staff were very good at accommodating us and other diners. We had the focaccia to start, followed by the green bean tempura (served with fries, salsa and ketchup) and tuna poke bowl. The focaccia was huge, but very light, and came with dipping oil. Both mains were very good - fresh ingredients and clearly freshly prepared. We accompany them with some alcohol free lager, and the waitress kept us topped up with water throughout the meal. (Service was generally very good.) My partner had the baked cheesecake for dessert, which also went down well.

I ordered the Spicy Blood Orange Margarita, made with jalapeño-infused tequila, orange liqueur, blood orange purée, and lime. It had a great balance of citrusy sweetness with a noticeable jalapeño kick. For food, I ordered the Chicken Wings, tossed in Japanese steak sauce and served with herb citrus ranch. The wings had a nice savory glaze and paired really well with the cooling ranch. My friend ordered the West Coast Cobb, with candied salmon, cheese, egg, bacon, avocado, tomato, corn, cucumber, and herb citrus ranch. It was a substantial salad with plenty of toppings and a nice mix of sweet, savory, creamy, and fresh flavors. I also tried the Iceberg Wedge, which was a classic choice with cheese, herbs and a tomato vinaigrette and a nice complement to the chicken wings. The service was attentive and friendly through the dining experience. Overall, Suddenly Sally is a fun option for happy hour when you're looking for creative cocktails, shareable food, and a lively atmosphere.

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

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.

We were in town for the Melissa's Road Race which we do every year in September and with that comes a breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is a staple, I had Huevous Rancheros which comes on tortilla with cheese, salsa, meat and hashbrowns. I find that enough to last to dinner. The Boss she had Chorizo Benny that she raved about, apparently they make it in house. My youngest son had a pancake that was huge and he didn't finish. When we went for dinner ( without children) we shared the 2 full lobster, filet dinner. It came with salad and all the fixings. The biggest recommendation I can give is for dessert STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING. To die for and that is all I can say. I can't wait until ski season. read more

Had dinner at Melissa's Steakhouse in Banff and tried a mix of starters. We shared four different ones, and while they all tasted good, the dry ribs weren't really our thing, though they looked fine. The nachos were great and came in a huge portion, even with just half a plate. For drinks, we stuck with beer, which was decent but nothing special. The atmosphere was okay, but we were there pretty early, just before the rush, so it might have felt livelier later on. The staff was friendly, though a bit inexperienced. Overall, a decent spot with good food and a casual vibe. Would come back, especially for the nachos. read more

I love Eggs Benedict. My wife doesn't like Hollandaise so I rarely make it at home. So I get it at restaurants a LOT. This is the best I've ever had. Absolutely perfect poached eggs and the Hollandaise is out of this world good. The hash browns were cooked perfectly and the coffee kept coming. The lodge ambience is great for a Rocky Mountain start to your day too. Highly recommended for breakfast in Banff. read more

I paired it with a 9 oz pour of the Villa des Anges Cabernet (Languedoc, France), and it was a perfect match. Highly recommend that combo. Honest heads-up on the steaks, though: I had the 6 oz Flat Iron and it was just "ok". It was tough and under-seasoned. My friend's ribeye came out the same way. For a place sourcing 31-day aged Alberta beef, I expected more from the steaks. So if you're deciding, skip the flat iron/ribeye and go for the short rib. That's the dish to order.
