I must say the pad thai was soooo goood! It didn't taste like traditional pad thai to be honest, so I wouldn't order it expecting that but it was very seafood-y (in the best way) and the flavor was still phenomenal. I'd order that and the tofu again, which was also unique and delicious. The pork sisig was good but on the saltier side. The first few bites were good but I may consider sharing that next time or just getting something else. The spot is cute and was able to accommodate my large party very quickly and the staff was awesome. Friendly and very helpful. Stop by here for a bite if you're in the area!

We started with two small plates and a vegetable: Salmon Crudo, Pickled Marinated Fried Chicken and the Cabbage. Wow. Wow. Wow. We decided to eat each one entirely before moving to the next one. Each one had such unique flavors, we wanted to focus on them and enjoy without confusing our taste buds. I highly recommend doing this! Then we ordered the Lamb dish. Our menu said it was going to be a curry dish, but when it arrived it was a Mediterranean dish. It was honestly dreamy! But we were confused because I guess we had a copy of the old menu. Nonetheless, I basically licked the plate! Lastly we ordered the chocolate salted caramel budino (pudding) for dessert. It was so luscious and went perfectly with our end of dinner hot drinks of tea and cappuccino. The serviced matched the food: also fantastic. Super professional and friendly waitress (I forgot to ask her name) she was so personal and we enjoyed talking to her. They comp'd our lamb because of the menu mixup which was so nice! If you're a foodie who enjoys good service, definitely try this place!

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).

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!

Our group was located in an annex room right of the main entrance and was the perfect size to fit all of us. We had 2 primary servers who did an excellent job of making sure we had full glasses and full plates. We did family-style sharing of some of their starters and main dishes. The Bread and Butter was really delicious and it looks like their butter flavor is on rotation daily. The duck wings had a peach glaze and nuoc cham and cilantro- great combination. The chicken vegetable dumplings had great skin and texture. The peppercorn salad was adorned with pickled cabbage, capers, maple coconut, crunchy chickpeas and more - it was amazing. We also tried the Thai basil risotto and it was good but I'd go with the peppercorn salad over this if you're sticking vegetarian. The final dish was Alberta AAA Beef Brisket accompanied by gochujang mashed potatoes and broccolini. The brisket was incredible and just melted on the tongue. And the beer/spirits here were impressive as well. BLAKE is a must-try destination while in Canmore!

The drunken noodle had some flavor, with tons of garlic mixed somewhere in there but honestly, I just wish they added more effort into their food and actually taste like Thai as opposed to just throwing in ingredients in there and calling it a dish. Don't even get me started with their pineapple fried rice. It's a big blob of yellow rice. No flavor, no colors, rice tastes old as heck. It was an absolute waste of money. We bought soup from somewhere else and thought it might try to make up for it, but no. The rice was horrible. I would highly recommend to NOT get it. Pls save your $ and go somewhere else and try something new.

Personally, I prefer the tonkotsu for the cleaner taste. Their pork is tender and the noodles had the right amount of chew.

Nourish Bistro in Banff, Alberta, is one of the exceptionally rare vegetarian restaurants that…read moregenuinely makes me feel like I could give up meat without sacrificing flavor. (The only other spot to ever pull this off for me is Verde Rekado in Coron, Philippines!). Cucumber Salad ($9.99 CAD): This was wonderfully refreshing and reminded me of lightly pickled Korean cucumber side dishes, bursting with savory garlic and umami flavors of fish sauce. Char Siu Marinated Tofu ($4.44 CAD): They managed to perfectly capture the iconic sweet-and-savory flavor profile of Char Siu pork without any actual "porkiness." The tofu was beautifully firm, perfectly cooked, and thoroughly marinated inside and out. The Nourishment Bowl ($24.24 CAD): This bowl is large, and I paired it was the Char Siu Marinated Tofu. The brilliant addition of a subtle coconut cream, paired with roasted vegetables and quinoa, perfectly softened the rough texture of the raw shredded carrots and greens; This combination elevates this bowl so that you don't feel like you're "just eating a salad" for dinner. Tempura Tacos ($17.17 CAD): These tacos were absolutely divine! Nourish restaurant has somehow mastered the art of frying avocados so that the batter is flawlessly crispy on the outside, while the inside remains warm, rich, and smooth. If I could eat these in Los Angeles, I would honestly never miss battered fish tacos again. Summer Shoyu Ramen ($22.22 CAD): Featuring a deeply comforting, hearty roasted garlic and soy broth. They brilliantly give the broth a slightly velvety, thicker-than-water body with just the right amount of oil. It completely tricks your palate into thinking it was simmered for hours with meaty bones, rather than being a boring, thin vegan soup. I wish we had such an amazing vegetarian restaurant like Nourish in Los Angeles!!

Vegetarians and Vegans Rejoice…read more.... On the same day my family of 5 from California had a great lunch at Banff Social, we went back to town for a late dinner at Nourish Bistro. What great food! Overall: 5 - Location: 5 - Exterior: 4 - Ambiance: 4 - Menu: 5+ - Food: 5+ - Service: 5 - Price and Value: 5 - Bathroom: 3 - Parking: 3 Pros: - Location: Convenient to the downtown area. In the midst of everything. - Exterior: Small, but with an inviting outdoor patio. - Ambiance: Casual. A vegan/vegetarian restaurant with the look and feel of the 1960s and 70s. I was around and that's a good thing. - Menu: Creative and inventive. Who says vegans and vegetarians can't be delivered great choices? - Food: Unbelievably good and healthy. I ordered the Nourishment Bowl with an extra Falafel ($20) which had a variety of super ingredients. Filling and tasty! One of those each day and I'll live to 100. My wife had Tempura Tacos ($16)...a plate of 3 large and, of course, healthy tacos. So big she gave one away. Others orders included a Nourishment Bowl with extra Tofu ($26)...Cucumber Salad with Tofu ($17)...and Summer Shoyu Ramen with Tofu and Chili Oil ($30). Nobody could believe how good these were...especially with preconceived notions of vegan dishes. - Service: Very good. Our server, "PM", was friendly, informative and helpful. - Price and Value: Not cheap, but reasonable Cons: - Bathroom: As with many small restaurants, the bathrooms are shared with other establishments. No problem. But it was kind of far away and not the cleanest. - Parking: You'll probably need to walk a few blocks since the downtown core of Banff has many more shops than parking spaces. Not only would we recommend Nourish for dinner, but we ordered take-out for lunch the next day and THAT was great!
