It's no coincidence that some of the best food and service comes out of tourist locations. That said, it doesn't surprise me that Crazyweed Kitchen is as amazing as it is.
After a long hike I stopped in here with a friend and Crazyweed is everything you'd want in a restaurant. Fresh ingredients, delicious food, excellent selection, innovative dishes, an expert staff and a welcoming location make Crazyweed a place that you're bound to enjoy during your next visit to the Rockies.
If you want healthy, tasty and delicious food, trust me, you'll want to try Crazyweed Kitchen ASAP.
We stopped at Crazyweed on recommendation of our B&B hosts for our last evening meal of our trip. The food was excellent. We had a salad with blackberries, strawberries and goat cheese, and our two entrees were the Vietnamese grilled chicken and the steamed cod which came on top of a bed of edamame in fish sauce-enhanced broth. Service was okay, but did not meet up to the quality of the food. Crazyweed's interior is simple and colorful (typically Swiss -- as the owners are), with large framed photos and big picture windows of the majestic moutains nearby. The train goes by just a few hundred feet away and adds to the interesting atmosphere.
Unfortunately, those large windows make for a rather chilly temperature inside when the weather is not cooperating. I'm not sure if they just can't crank up the heat high enough to compensate, or they just don't bother. When we were there, it snowed that evening. If you're wearing layers, keep the coats on and enjoy some of the best food we found in the Canadian Rockies.

We love this place. We were big fans of Crazyweed's lamb burgers when it was downtown. Food is still fantastic but in a cool venue. We love all the appetizers and of course, the best ever flat bread and fries. There's always something fresh,seasonal and creative on the menu. Our kids always order the soup, whatever veggie it is-they love it. Short ribs are delish, as is the curry. We love the relaxing ambience. Sometimes, we'll take a seat at the bar and chat with the staff too.
If you ever decide to head out to the Rockies and happen to be hungry as you drive by Canmore, I highly recommend that you check this place out.
I know some Chowhounder's have complained about their service (expect to wait for your food and sometimes even be 'ignored' at the door when you first enter) but I love their food so much that the mediocre service isn't stopping me from going back.
My favorite route is to 1) pickup a brunch panini to go ($10) (that way you can avoid the mediocre service =) ha!) 2) park my car somewhere scenic and 3) just gulp it down.
YUMMY
Food - everything we had was great. Service - Our server was not so great. Our table was filled with empty glasses for most of the evening and she generally put off an "I don't care" vibe. Her attitude and the freezing temperature (we all put jackets on and steam was billowing off of warm dishes) soured us on what was otherwise a nice experience.
