EATING OUT IN CANMORE & BANFF

There are many great places to eat in Canmore & Banff – high end restaurants, pubs, organic cafes, snack bars and more. We’ve let you know if each place is in town or a little on the outside of town, if it’s more of a tourist place or one for the locals, what months and times it’s open (as far as we can be sure!) and tried to give a rough indication of price and atmosphere. We’ve listed some of our favorites and we’re happy to add more as we find them or as they’re recommended to us. Enjoy!
