2026 - Whirlwind tour of Calgary and the Rockies ( Part 2 )

Banff - restaurant reccs, please

Quick Canadian Rockies Report - July 2023

I like stopping at Crazyweed Kitchen in Canmore near Kananaskis. Canmore has a nice French patisserie, or did, on my last visit.

Banff’s dining is often hit or miss, with quite a few tourist traps. (Saltlik, a steakhouse which I liked, has closed permanently)

Closer to Lake Louise, I like the dining room at the Post Hotel.

The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and Banff Springs are lovely hotels. I find their restaurants meh.

I lived in NW Calgary for 3 years, in Kensington, which is a walkable neighbourhood with many restaurants and coffee shops just north of the Bow River.
