Restaurants near Buffalo Mountain Lodge

Servers were very attentive and helpful with our table of 6 adults and 2 kids

The food and service was exceptional! The only critique was the noise level which made it difficult to have conversations. That aside, will definitely be back!

For a starter, we enjoyed the Mussels with Thai Red Curry - the fresh basil really gave the dish a lift and the toasted sourdough was the perfect accompaniment to soak up the scrumptious sauce. Our main was sharing the Bone-in Ribeye (medium-rare) among three diners. Seeing as it's a 34 oz portion of meat, it was plenty for all of us. It came with flame-roasted squash and broccolini, plus creamy mashed potatoes. The dish could have used more potatoes, as there was barely a cup overall on the platter which is a bit lean even for two to share when the spuds are so good. The steak was served sliced, perfectly cooked, well-seasoned and extremely tender. For dessert we shared the Banana-Coconut Rum Lamington and the Orange Chocolate Tart. Of the two, the orange-chocolate tart was the favourite, because there was a lot going on in there with rich dark ganache, bright orange creamy topping, and a dash of ancho chile powder. When blended with the affogato, the dessert was a showstopper. The Lamington was pleasant as well, just more homey than the tart. Service was attentive and friendly. It was fun to sit next to the open kitchen and watch the staff prepare dishes. It wasn't too busy or loud, and there is a decent amount of space between tables. The decor is gorgeous with a lot of stone and warm wood. Overall, a bit of a splurge but a really nice addition to the restaurant scene in Banff!

It took a while to get the food, but it was worth the wait. Souflee pancakes were divine, and they didn't skimp on the salmon or hollandaise sauce for the eggs benny. The only tragedy was a lack of gluten-free hashbrowns. Pan-fry some potatoes for the gluten-free people!

Great food and coffee and beautiful decor. Would definitely come back here.
