1. NOtaBLE
Been here 4 times now: opening night with family for Friday supper; twice with colleagues for weekday lunches; and once by myself. The food was delicious each time, the service warm and friendly. I'm already a regular, and I knew when Michael Noble…More »
2. River Cafe
Dinner at 830 Saturday evening 06 Aug 2011, and once again we were not disappointed. To start, we shared the fish and game board, which in this month's version included boar paté and bison prosciutto; for mains my son ordered the pork chop, my wife…More »

8/2/2010
My wife and I have dined here several times, and we chose it for our anniversary dinner this year.… Read more »
3. Muse Restaurant and Lounge
Our first time at Muse, and we immediately felt at ease. Our server, Shannon, accommodated our son CJ's special requests very capably, and our wine steward, Greg, made what turned out to be excellent suggestions - the Paul Zinck Gewurztraminer 2006…More »
4. Redwater Rustic Grille
I'll cut to the chase and explain why this Redwater is one of my favorites. From my most recent OpenTable review: had a bowl of the mushroom and barley cream soup to start this time - very rich and flavourful (loved the thyme). My entree was the pan…More »
5. Dairy Lane Café
Tried Dairy Lane for the first time with my family - and while we waited outside for a table, we were served yummy hot chocolate to take the edge off the late winter / early spring morning chill. Once inside (it's tiny!) we were spoiled rotten by…More »
6. Spiros On 17th
I've been to Spiros several times now, and I can't believe I haven't reviewed it yet. I'll get right to the point: the Italians may have invented pizza, but the Greeks also know how to make it in their own style, and Spiros hasn't been in business…More »
7. Rouge
My wife and I tried Rouge for our anniversary two summers ago. Feeling adventurous, we had the tasting menu, and all I can say is...wow! Too many courses to remember, it's lost in a blur of wine pairings, foie gras, truffles, and other delightful…More »
8. Gaucho Brazilian Barbecue
If you like rodizio, this is a happenin' place for Sunday brunch, now just $18 per adult (kids $16). The side dishes (fresh spinach, salmon salad, halibut, chicken souffle, Brazilian salsa, etc.) are of very high quality, and their frothy lemonade…More »
9. The Mahle House Restaurant
Mahle House is a 100+ year old heritage building; the current restaurant has been here for over 20 years and has its own organic herb garden onsite. On Wednesdays they feature a 5-course tasting menu for $40 (wine pairings $25 extra), and on Sundays,…More »
10. The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel
Some things in life are worth the splurge. A stay at the Banff Springs is one of them. Three words: Hot outdoor pool. All year round. I asked for a quiet room, they obliged in spades. The Fairmont Gold floor (5th) has its own check-in and extended…More »
