I had an amazing time at Walliser stube for the fondue set menu. Everything was prepared beautifully and our service was top notch. The fish was paired nicely with peas and potatoes, and they were even able to remove the capers for me! My fiance ordered the steak rare and they prepared it perfectly. We finished the meal with dark chocolate fondue, which they paired with many options including homemade marshmallows. Overall the food was great, the service was perfect, and the ambiance was ideal for us celebrating our engagement. The soft jazz in the background really helped to set the romantic mood. I'll be returning on my next trip to lake Louise and I recommend you do as well! read more

Not the best! Cute, Swiss chalet-like atmosphere with dark paneling, low light, etc. Waiters were okay, a little less attentive than accustomed to at other Fairmont restaurants. Started with the raclette - not a traditional German raclette with the hot cheese and fresh meat. This was potatoes with congealed cheese on top. Charcuterie board was small but tasty, especially the mustard. Swiss potato soup was hearty and filling. The tomahawk schnitzels were massive but a bit on the dry side, and the mushroom sauce lacked flavor. The schnitzel cordon bleu was a smaller portion and alright. Desserts were pretty good; try the mono rocher chocolate dessert or the strawberry-basil sorbetto. A bit overhyped but not terrible. read more

This place was a great experience! We ordered the fondue experience, which requires a minimum of two people to order. The fondue experience gives you a fondue pot as an appetizer to share, your choice (per person) of a main course , and a choice (per person) in the dessert menu. You have choices to add to your main course. We ordered the Pork Schnitzel and the Beef Tenderloin for our main courses, and we also ordered an upgrade item of the garlic prawns. The fondue was good. I am generally not a fan of melted cheese (a long story), but thought the fondue was excellent. The three tiers of fondue items are replenishable so we ordered another plate of broccoli since we thought this was the best pairing item with the fondue. The other fondue items also include plate 1: radishes and tomatoes; plate 2: potatoes, plate 3: asparagus, cauliflower, and broccoli. There was also bread as well on the side for the fondue. The pork schnitzel reminded me of pork milanese. It was a pork chop lightly breaded and fried. The beef tenderloin with potatoes and peas on the side. Both food items were good, but nothing to write home about. The fondue was reason why you come here right? The restaurant was quiet and romantic. The service was great! Robbie was our waiter, who went out of his way to make sure our experience was excellent. He did drift away a bit of attentiveness towards the end of the dinner, but maybe it was something I said to him.. I was a bit buzzed throughout the dinner. But I will admit, Kira, one of our other servers was amazing. She was very friendly and nice, telling us stories of past Ice Festival happenings. Our junior server was also remarkable, letting us know that items in the fondue were replenishable. All in all, this was a great experience. The service was attentive and friendly. Everyone giving us suggestions during our dinner experience was very much appreciated. This place is an experience you at least have to try once! read more

My fiance booked the Fairmont, which is honestly one of the most magical places we stayed at. He also grabbed diner reservations at this amazing restaurant. Shout out to Erika who was so attentive and always refilling my glass. We ordered the chef choice where it came with the cheese fondue, two entrees, and we chose the chocolate fondue. I am not a big cheese person, but this was so good. The pork schnitzel and beef was so delicious and filled us up. Everything was beyond tasty and I loved the whole aesthetic of this restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

It was a long day of travel delays from Chicago, but we finally make it to Lake Louise. I was thrilled we had booked our first dinner at the hotel because I was hungry and exhausted. I was also thrilled there was fondue on the menu because I'm a huge fondue fan. My husband...not so much a fondue fan, but was happy to indulge with me. We decided the three course prix fixe was the way to go since I wanted the fondue and it made sense with the pricing of the menu. Our lovely waiter also encouraged us to add the wine pairing. It seemed like a great idea until i couldn't even finish half the first glass of wine. I'm not much of a drinker these days! We started with the signature cheese fondue. I've yet to have a fondue I don't love (especially when cheese is involved) and this was no exception. That had plenty of yummy bread and veggies (and even pickles and potatoes) to dip in the cheese. I could have been done with dinner after this, but we still had 2 courses to go. For my main course I had the snapper, which was very good. My husband was also very happy with his wiener schnitzel. Both were very filling and between that, the cheese and all the wine I didn't know how we could make room for dessert. We opted for the baked alaska for dessert (over chocolate fondue) and it was one of the better baked alaskas I've had. So delicious! The service was a little slow, but I think they meant for it to be slow between courses. We were exhausted so would have preferred to to move a little faster. Our waiter, however, was fantastic. He's been there 22 years and was so helpful with what to order, but also gave us some really great hiking tips and other info about Lake Louise. This was the only meal we had at the hotel beyond our complimentary breakfast. I typically try to eat outside of hotels when we travel, but this was perfect for a travel day and very good too. read more

Since we were staying here, my boyfriend wanted to try the fondue experience. Since it was the ending of autumn, we weren't sure how busy it was going to be so we made reservations. Luckily, we eat early so there wasn't much of wait. We were seated upstairs next to the dumbwaiter. The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. We knew what we were getting already because he wanted the fondue experience, which is the Chateau Experience set menu. The cheese fondue was alright, it was a bit too rich for us. It was very interesting dipping certain vegetable in cheese. The entrees were the rockstar of the meal. We both opted for the Alberta Filet Mignon and it was definitely the right choice. It practically melted in our mouths and pairing with yummy Butterly mash. Aside from the entree, chocolate dessert fondue was a hit! My boyfriend ate majority of it as I'm not a big fan of chocolate. I had a few things and the cream puffs was really good with the warm chocolate. Overall it was a good experience, but once is enough. read more

Definitely not worth the price, and not all all consistent with the fine dining experience it purports to offer. We had a reservation yet were seated upstairs facing a wall. The restaurant was not busy. Service was extraordinary slow and inconsistent. When you are paying $100 per person or more you should not have to ask for water refills three or four times. We also ordered other drinks but were never offered refills or asked if we wanted another. The fondue was ok, quite small for the price, and our main course filet mignons were cold. We did have kids with us and maybe that's why they treated us like second class citizens. While the ambiance of the hotel was somewhat nice, nothing else matched. Definitely advise giving this restaurant a miss. For the price we paid, it felt like a ripoff. read more

WALLISER STUBE - Pretty view and grounds but we didn't get to see it during dinner. - Fondue Near Me - Lake Louise, Alberta

Located in the Fairmont Chateau, great views of lake Louise. They have different options including a coursed meal with wine pairings, we ended up getting the gem salad, Wiener schnitzel and chocolate fondue for dessert! It was plenty of food for 2 people and enjoyed our view of the lake! read more

The service was amazingly pleasant. Our waitress Kira was fantastic. Great conversation and attentiveness. The maître d' frequented the table with knowledge of the mountains seen from the huge bay windows of the restaurant. MUST HAVE - Wiener Schnitzel. I've been to many places around the world and tried the schnitzel. This is my favorite one so far. The breading to meat ratio was divine. The mushroom sauce paired with it, elevated an already fantastic dish into an experience. read more

WALLISER STUBE - Wiener Schnitzel - Fondue Near Me - Lake Louise, Alberta

Booked our anniversary dinner months in advance and was excited to have a nice meal while staying at the Château. We were seated pretty close to the window so that was nice. Our server seemed very knowledgeable and professional. Our fondue was $60 CAD a person I think or more. Probably one of the worse meals I've had in a long time. Our sides and meat that we received were tiny portions and consisted mainly of bread and sprouts. We only got a few pieces of shrimp and each piece was cut in half to make it seem like more food. We got two tiny potatoes that were pre cooked and soggy. We did sub the red meat for the bison so maybe bison cost more. I'm giving the experience 3 stars because we did have fun and enjoyed the view. The server was great but yikes the food was terrible. We spent big $$$ on this meal. read more

The setting alone for this restaurant could easily overshadow even the best of preparation. The views from the dining room are perfection. We didn't specifically choose Walliser Stube but we are definitely glad it fell into our itinerary. The whole experience from the setting, to the quality of food, to the excellence of our server, Kira, her detailed attention to wines made this one of the outstanding dining experiences of all our travels. read more

Just finished one of our best meals ever, easyially in our top three. And having enjoyed 70years worth of special meals, that's saying a lot. Our server Asher was amazing, and so knowledgeable concerning meals, drinks and the restaurant itself. I guess being a part of the Walliser family for over 15years really reflects his dedication to his patronage and establishment. Looking out over the glistening waters of Lake Louise at sunset, was the cherry on top for this special evening. read more

We did the 3 course tasting menu with the Sommelier wine pairings. We have eaten at fine restaurants around the world and this was right up there with any of them. We started with the cheese fondue which was fun and very good. It was served with a variety of vegetables, pickles and breads. The entrees were the star. We had the filet mignon and the Wiener schnitzel, both with fois gras. They were both amazing but the Wiener schnitzel was out of this world, just melted in your mouth. Dessert was a baked Alaska which was torched table side. Very good. The wine pairings complemented the meal but we thought the sommelier would come out to give history, tasting notes which did not happen. Our waiter just told us what they were so that was the only disappointment of the night. Not sure that was worth $125/person for 3 glasses of wine. read more

Came on a Thursday evening around 6pm in April (non peak szn) and they do not take reservations unless you are staying at the Fairmont. There were plenty of tables and we got seated by one of the large windows facing the mountain (we were lucky and also it was quiet in general). I could imagine this place gets quite a bit busier during peak szn. Definitely get the Prix fix menu if you're coming with 2 people and want to eat their cheese fondue. I saw a table order the meat fondue and it looked ok, but definitely not as good as the cheese fondue that came with the fixed menu. And the cheese fondue "main" didn't seem like a worthwhile endeavour. For 2 with the fixed menu, you share one pot of fondue and it is more than enough! The fondue cheese base is the same regardless of which option you choose, and the only diff is the garnish... So if you choose the truffle one, you're paying a few more bucks for some truffle shavings. The server was really nice and gave us a few extra pretzel rolls as she recommended we dip it in the cheese. She was spot on. Dipping the chunky pretzel rolls in the cheese was decadent heaven! After finishing the fondue, wife and I were already quite full! The tenderloin steak that was served afterwards was perfectly cooked to our liking and very well flavoured. The nice part was they also give a large bowl of vegetables to share. A very nice touch to keep things a little healthier! Lastly, we got the chocolate fondue for dessert (1 to share between 2 pple). We got the dark chocolate as we figured what you dip will already be sweet. We were spot on. They gave a few small cakes, some strawberries, and my wife's fav, a few pieces of homemade marshmallows. Overall, everything was lots of fun, delicious, and enjoyable! I think the fixed menu was about $95 per person, but I felt it was worth it given how much food you get and what a nice experience it is. Cheers. read more

WALLISER STUBE - Fondue - Fondue Near Me - Lake Louise, Alberta

More of a 3.5 stars meal but I'll round up for the location and view. We did the three course meal. The fondue is very good but the upcharge for lobster (four tiny bite sized pieces ONLY in that pot) is not worth the extra $10 per person. The foley mignon was prepared perfectly. The potato side it came with was not good. Service was ok - our water wasn't refilled regularly and our waitress forgot which dessert we were supposed to have. We *should have gotten the chocolate fondue for dessert (maybe our waitress was sending us a message?!) instead of the apple fritters. The apple fritters were terrible - stale, rock hard, and the ice cream it came with tasted like it was in the freezer for months. read more

Hands down, no question asked, my favorite place in Canada so far. Came in without a reservation and they sat us in the bar area. Service was timely and attentive regardless that the bartender was filing in as our waitperson - he was unfailingly professional and quite funny. More importantly, his recommendation were spot on!!! If I could give this place 11 out of 10 stars - I'd give it 12! (I threw in the extra for the fantastic service - attentive, humorous, and just flat out awesome.) Started off with the French onion soup and two kinds of non-salty sausages topped with sauerkraut and artichoke hearts for appetizers. Then, because I was starving following an unplanned 9 mile hike, ordered the tenderloin beef with mash potatoes and seasoned veggies AND pork schnitzel with roasted potatoes and summer salad. Okay, okay: one was for mom but it was Korean style - split the plates! Now, there is steak and there is S.T.E.A.K. This one was the latter. I thought it odd that they didn't ask how I wanted the meat. Came to find out it's because they don't care how you like it - it's their recipe, their meat, and their reputation so you'll have it the way they want you to have it! And I'm thankful for it because I wouldn't have thought to ask for whatever level of cooked that was. It didn't have an "look at me - I'm your protein of the day" smell. It was melt-in-your-mouth tender and the marinade...a firecracker could have gone off beside me and I would have kept enjoying the meal without a blink. Not only was it the best steak I've ever had but the schnitzel was crunchy and light on the outside and tender on the inside. The red glob is a fruit jam. Was a bit surprised that they'd accompany the schnitzel with jam but now I get it - it's like leg of lamb with mint jelly. Won't have it again with the jam (though I'm sure they don't call it jam). What's amazing is that all of this was less expensive than a sushi meal that I get in HI. That's right! I'm eating more while I'm here for the next couple of days. read more

We came here with a party of 4 after a long hike. The views of Lake Louise were stunning from all seats in the restaurant. The restaurant had a really intimate vibe, as it was pretty small and enclosed. We ordered the Aspen Ridge Beef Tenderloin, Classic Vienna Pork Schnitzel, a kid's meal steak, and the Black Truffle cheese fondue appetizer. While the cheese fondue was delicious, I don't think it was worth the price of 48 CAD, as it only came with pieces of bread, and a very small plate of vegetables to dip. Our mains took a while to arrive, around an hour after we sat down. I definitely thought the stars of the night were the main courses. The Schnitzel was perfectly crispy and really savory. The Beef Tenderloin has a great flavor, and the sides (potatoes purée and veggies) were delicious and really made the dish. The kid's meal steak was a really generous portion for only 14 CAD. By the time our mains came, we were already pretty full from the fondue, so if I were to come back, I'd probably skip on the fondue. Overall, a really nice and relaxing dining experience with great views! read more

We were able to book a dinner during our stay at Chateau Lake Louise. The interior of this restaurant is much darker and Old Europe kind of ambience. The room we were seated in didn't have a better view of the lake compared to Fairview restaurant (your best view would be seated right at the window). But there was a huge wine wall that's was definitely impressive. Service was excellent and hospitable. We didn't pay too much attention to the menu because we were already set on ordering the fondue set (chateau experience) that most of the reviews mention. In fact, the four other tables in the same room as us had ordered the same. The children's menu is exactly the same as the Fairview restaurant too. Now for the chateau experience, it was good, but yes, like another reviewer here, for $89 per person (minimum of 2 to order this menu option), it was slightly underwhelming, but we did it for the experience. You can definitely taste the mushroom in the fondue. There was a lot of bread and I think the pretzel buns were actually fresher & tastier. I get that the sour apples and pickles were to cut the heaviness of the cheese, but I was hoping for a little more than that. The main course was lovely, although we both had to order the same type of doneness for the meat since we had to share the platter (my husband prefers more undercooked while I prefer more well done). Dessert was great, my kids loved sharing the chocolate fondue with us rather than eating a cookie with candy from their kid menu. All in all, I would come back to eat here again, but maybe to try other things on the menu. read more

This was one of our favourite meals on the trip. Service was amazing. Asher our waiter was excellent. Pretzel bread with whipped butter (save some to dip in the fondue). We got the half fondue and it was plenty for two people to share. The schnitzel was super crispy and huge. Halibut was cooked with a nice crust but a little small on the sides. The chocolate fondue for dessert was amazing and the home made marshmallows was my favourite part. It was expensive but worth the experience and the view of the lake. read more

Gosh I am really torn on this one. Our entrees were actually very good. Our server was great. The fondue...very heavy and definitely not sufficient quantity of dippers (such as the veggies, whatever). The chocolate fondue was good, but we just felt it needed better/fresher dippers. The whipped cream we ordered on the side seemed like it had set in the fridge pre-scooped for quite some time. Overall, a good solid choice though. read more

We made reservation for our anniversary and were very excited for fondue. We arrived early and our hostess very kindly seated us right away. We ordered the chateau experience, a three course meal with a wine pairing. The fondue and the wine pairings were awesome. The meat was good. The final dessert chocolate was cold because our waiter couldn't seem to find the time to light the candle. Speaking of the waiter... he was the worst I've ever had. The service is the reason for this 3 star review. We went all out with the prix fix menu and wine pairing and we were literally treated like teenagers who split one Caesar salad and ordered water. 30-40 minutes would pass after we finished a course with no one to take a plate, fill a water or bring the next course. This happened after every course. To cap it all off, at the end Mr. Absentee had the gall to bring our check with the dessert so he could rush us out. If he needed the table perhaps don't ignore us for several 40 minute stretches. All in all the food is great, the view is top notch, and the service is the absolute worst. read more

Our 50th anniversary dinner. Great food and wonderful service. They really celebrated our anniversary!

For the price of entree fondue (82 dollar), we are expecting something better than just five slices of ham and two broccoli/four carrots/a few green beans and some other miscellaneous things like peppers, pickled onions, onions. The dipping food is cheap. And somehow our fondue came so late that everyone else arrived after us already got their fondue before us. The restaurant is located in the famous Fairmont, but the food they provide at least from our experience doesn't deserve to the title. read more

This restaurant is at the Fairmont at Lake Louise. Service. Excellent. Fondue If you like fondue, they do a great fondue here. We had the black truffle fondue with all the fixings.

Get reservations in advance especially if you're not staying in the hotel because they prioritize hotel guests. We came for the fondue set course and it was pretty solid. You have the option of choosing the type of cheese and chocolate fondue and we decided on the truffle cheese fondue with the dark chocolate fondue. They both tasted exactly how you'd expect them to taste.. The truffle in the cheese wasn't that strong but the fondue pairings were great. The cheese fondue came with a lot of bread and a decent amount of veggies and green apple slices which I loved, while the chocolate fondue had a good mix of only mildly sweet fruit and banana bread (which I thought was really good paired with the chocolate). The steak we got for the entrée was done exactly the way we requested it, though the portion was a little small. I'm not 100% sold on their claim that they have the best cheese and chocolate fondue outside of Switzerland but it was pretty good. read more
