Canmore Restaurants

The Drake Inn Restaurant & Pub offers wonderful mountain views with every bite. The new non-smoking lounge features a fireplace, comfortable couches and a relaxed atmosphere in an open, spacious room.

Favorite Dish: Started off with a cup of Creamy Chicken/Corn Chowder and then you can't go wrong with one of these entrees: a Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwich topped with swiss cheese, lettuce and tomatoes with a side of french fries or Grilled & Skewered Shrimp/Scallops over a bed of fried rice with a caesars salad on the side.

The Grizzly Paw has probably the best pub food in the Rockies. The food is perfect for sharing over a pint as well as meals which leave your taste buds happy and your appetite satisfied.

Favorite Dish: Try the 12 inch Chicken Pizza with Thai Sauce...absolutely awesome!!! Wash it down with a Grumpy Bear Honey Wheat Ale (a light wheat ale brewed with wild mountain honey)...in fact it was so good that I brought a 6-pack home with me!!!

After reading great reviews about Santa Lucia, I went there with my wife and my 1 year old daughter on our one evening in Canmore. After giving us a table (the place wasn't full, it was 5 pm) they ignored us for 20 minutes, they didn't bring us a high chair for the baby and we only got their attention when we left the place (with a sarcastic commentary from the waitress about babies). We ended up buying a pizza somewhere else on New Years'Eve, it was pretty disappointing. I can't give a review about the food (I've heard it's great) but I think they don't like families with small children (even when mine is really quiet).

Favorite Dish: I didn't get to try the food.

This was a very nice restaurant within the town, just off the main street. We were offered a table inside or could dine outside on the deck. It was a stormy looking evening but we chose to be brave and took the outside option, assisted by the location of an gas heater next to our table.

The menu contained a good selection of tapas meals and the waitress assisted us with our selection of 4 meals to share. They were brought out progressively which gave us the opportunity to take our time over the meal. All meals were tasty and different to what we were used to, which is something we like to experience when travelling.Our choices were:

Marrakech Escalivida, Spanish Saffron Rice, Morunos Brochetas, Spanish Trio Spring Rolls. We also had sparkling water and coffee. the restaurant has a full bar.

Cost for the evening was Canadian $67 plus tip.

This restaurant located in the middle of town is ideal for a first date.The servers are warm and friendly and the Spaggettie is just out of this world.Infact i do not know if i prefered the Spaggettie or the Italian Salad.Prices are a little bit more expensive than my other 2 restuarants but dont let that put you off.

Favorite Dish: The Spaggettie,Best meal!

Its a cold winters day,your freezing to death,then you come beside a nice relaxing restuarant.Once inside you meet some of the most beautiful women in the whole of Canmore.As my friend Jordan said "Where do they come from".its not just the beauty and friendliness of the girls though.The Rose and Crown is actually a bar and a restaurant.Prices are incredibly cheap for Canmore(Fish and Chips 9 bucks!)and the drinks arent to bad either.the decore is brightly lit and has a sort of British theme to it.The food may be better elsewhere but nowhere will you meet staff as friendly.

Favorite Dish: Fish and Chips,Steak and Kidney Pie.the soup.If i had to pick one i would recomend the steak and kidney pie.

In addition to the beautiful design and location of the Bear & Bison Inn, it turns out that owner Lonnie Middleton is also a world class chef, having spent 18 years as a chef in some of the most prestigious Hotels and Cruise ships of the world. The wedding arrangements (C$340 for 24 guests) included various pizzas to be served on the first evening after guests had arrived and checked in between 3-4 PM. The actual wedding dinner served the next evening (part of the overall package) was priced at C$45 per plate and was an amazing experience of dishes served by the staff in the best European style. Sue's main dish was Salmon cooked on a cedar plank while I had Roast Beef with various vegetables.

Favorite Dish: Even breakfast was quite an experience, with various elegantly prepared dishes served one after the other by staff. These varied from a fruit starter, crepes with fruit, a three egg omelette filled with your choice of smoked salmon, locally smoked black forest ham, mushrooms or cheese & herbs and finished off with a secret recipe hashbrowns, toast and home made preserves. The meal presentation alone was an enjoyable eating experience!

Whether it is Breakfast - Lunch - or Dinner this place has a great atomosphere & serves excellent food. With great names on their breakfast menu - the continental divide & the three sisters surprise - to name but a few!!

Favorite Dish: I had the Three Sisters - cerial & fruit cup while hubby had the Continental Divide - scambled eggs & toast - whatever you choose you won't be disappointed
