Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Banff

"Our favorite restaurant in Banff with a great atmosphere and high-quality farm-to-table food. They have a seasonal menu and won several national awards in Canada for exceptional service. It’s well known as the best spot in Banff for brunch on Sundays."

"Best known by locals for its stunning views of the Canadian Rockies (nab a seat by the giant windows to make other diners jealous!), the Bison’s best-kept secret is its addictive dinner and Sunday brunch menus. Chefs Liz and Kirk are..."

"Wild Flour Bakery is an independent bakery/cafe that offers organic, nourishing food. Stop by for breakfast or lunch and be prepared to have a hard time deciding between the pastries, hearty sandwiches, soups and salads. They’re well known for their sourdough bread so it’s worth grabbing a loaf to take home."

"Wild Flour Bakery churns out the most delicious breads, both sweet and savory, baked daily in their stone hearth oven (look for aged cheddar sourdough and a walnut & cranberry rye). If you’ve got time in the morning, the homemade granola and croissants are no-brainers."

"We are in Banff at least 3 times and year and we always make a stop into the bakery. They have awesome bread but also serve a brisk lunch/snack business. My favorite treat is their vegetarian Foccacia."

"A hearty plate of breakfast in a rustic interior restaurant with red bricks and table-cloth, Tooloulou’s serves pancakes, crepes, eggs/omelets, hash-browns, and the like. You can satisfy your sweet or savory morning meal right here. Tooloulou’s also serves lunch and dinner – rice and beans, sea sausage, ribs, cajun burgers, etc."

"How about a bowl full of little fried bits of dough, tossed in sugar and served with whipping cream on the side for dipping from Tooloulou's?. Oh, and let's not forget how much more delicious they taste when you hit them with a good dose of maple syrup. Now, go find a piece of fruit!"

"This is one of the fancier restaurants in town and it does not disappoint. It’s been years since we’ve made it back here but I still remember the maple-glazed salmon and the super creamy mashed potatoes. If you’re looking for an upscale restaurant in the heart of Banff, this is one of the top options."

"The Maple Leaf is one of Banff’s high end restaurants, and is incredibly popular due to it serving fully Canadian cuisine. Primarily working with steak and seafood, the food is beautiful, as is the restaurant itself. Canadian oysters, Alberta beef and wild salmon, every dish just screams eh!"

"With plenty of local and foreign plaudits, the classy Maple Leaf eschews all other pretensions in favor of one defining word: 'Canadian.' The menu is anchored by Albertan beef, along with BC salmon, East Coast... Ice Cream in Banff Town"

"For amazing breakfast views and some delicious breakfast, head to the Juniper Bistro. The menu is not as extensive as some of the other options on this list, but it’s more of a nice brunch spot for a special occasion. You can find items on the menu like stuffed french toast, huevos rancheros, grilled avocado, and salmon eggs benedict."

"The Juniper Hotel Bistro gives its diners one of the best vantage points of Banff National Park, including of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. Enjoying a view of the famous "Castle in the Rockies" while sipping a chilled Pinot Grigio is almost as good as staying there."

"JK Bakery is another small, locally owned coffee shop that sells a good assortment of baked goods, cakes and pies to take on the go. Coming from England, I was pretty over the moon to find sausage rolls and pies for sale here, which are the perfect road trip snack. They also have pretty tasty cinnamon rolls occasionally, sandwiches and soups."

"K Bakery Cafe is a cute little coffee shop that serves the delicious black tea that I LOVE – creamy earl gray tea. They also offer specialty coffees, teas, and light snacks and baked goods. Located at 229 Bear St by the movie hall in Banff."

"This go-to location caps off most night-on-the-town itineraries in Banff, and for good reason. Pizza by the slice or whole ones to go, donairs with sweet sauce, and poutine with all the best fixings are sure to hit the spot when the wee-hour cravings kick in – or as a hangover remedy the next day."

"This unassuming hole in the wall is known for serving hearty comfort food all day and all night (until 4am)  – and for delivering to weary travelers unwilling to venture from their hotel rooms."

"Tonnes of tacos, endless enchiladas, bounties of burritos, and non-stop nachos – If you’ve got a hankering for Mexican, Magpie & Stump is the place for you. Keen to get the party started?. Try one of their ‘Bulldog’ cocktails, a lime margarita with an upside down Corona."

"This is a local hotspot and serves up delicious Mexcian dishes. Mexican food has long been my favorite cuisines so they get the nod for my favorite restaurant in Banff. The interior is rustic and you get a Mexicana cantina vibe the moment you set foot inside."

"A casual Mexican joint offering all your favorites in a rustic wood setting dotted with antiques. The vibe is Wild-West-meets-Tijuana, and the spot has proved a favorite of people passing through and locals alike."

"We came here for breakfast on our last day because it was conveniently in The Rimrock Resort Hotel. This was our favorite breakfast, and at a great value too. They have a lot of standard prepared dishes like pancakes, waffles, eggs benedict, sausages, and bacon as well as made to order omelets and eggs."

"El restaurante Primrose sirve desayunos y cenas, y propone un menú de platillos que incluye gastronomía moderna con influencias italianas, y una gran selección de platillos variados. Los clientes pueden disfrutar del sol de la mañana a través de los ventanales y de los bonitos cuadros florales de..."

"Tucked away just off from the lobby of the Delta Banff Royal Canadian Lodge, this elegant restaurant serves refined Canadian dishes like elk medallions made with port wine and cherry sauce and braised Alberta bison short ribs without an inflated attitude. Address: Delta Banff Royal Canadian Lodge, 459 Banff Avenue, Banff"

"Hotel restaurants can be hit-and-miss, but the Evergreen inside the Delta Banff Royal Canadian Lodge is consistently good, provided you like formal fine dining and can look past the rather dated decor."

"Commonly known as ‘Sushi Train’, this restaurant serves up a wide assortment of sushi, sashimi, and small plate Japanese eats on – you guessed it – a model train!. It will circle the track around a chef crafting the pieces right before your eyes. Cozy up to your dinner mate and even make a few new friends at their bar-style seating for up to 18 people."

"We love sushi, and we love a good deal, so Banff Sushi is a slam dunk for us. The novelty of the sushi train was definitely appreciated and brought us back to Japan as we nabbed tantalizing bites of sushi off the Canadian train engine. If you like sushi, this may be one of the best deals in Banff."

"For cheap sushi that is authentic and high quality check out Banff Sushi House. It’s a pretty small hole in the wall spot and there isn’t much of an ambiance. However, the sushi is cheap, delicious, and the staff is very friendly."
