Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Kananaskis

"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."

"The artisan breads and baguettes are cooked in their stone hearth oven. The menu has sandwiches, daily soups, salads and fresh baked pastries. The breakfast specialty is a frittata made with free-range eggs."

"Tooloulou’s: more known as a brunch place, but they also have sit down dinners that offer Cajun seafood and burgers. I’ve only gone there for brunch and the line is always out of the door starting at 10:30am. It has an extensive brunch list that ranges from Canadian specialties (poutine) to French toasts to sandwiches to eggs."

"The Maple Leaf in the heart of downtown Banff offers an enticing brunch menu every day of the week. Their log cabin design is sure to warm your soul no matter the season. Known for their mouthwatering maple bacon as well as their Canadian bacon Benedict, The Maple Leaf is an easy choice for an authentic Canadian brunch."

"The Maple Leaf Grill and Lounge has a warm mountain atmosphere with a lot of Canadian Inspired dishes. They use local Canadian ingredients such as an Alberta beef ribeye and or maple dijon B.C."

"This bistro, in the hotel of the same name, offers international dishes with a local spin, such as Moroccan-style lamb saddle made with fig, olive, spinach and spice, as well as classic dishes such as the Juniper burger: a house beef brisket and short rib patty on a brioche bun, topped with thick-cut black pepper bacon, smoked cheddar and juniper berry mustard. Set on the slopes of Mount Norquay, the Juniper Bistro has views of Mount Rundle, Vermilion Lakes and the town of Banff, which you can enjoy from the terrace."

"Another one of three Banff restaurants on OpenTable Top 100 is the Juniper Bistro at the Juniper Hotel. Perched at the beginning of Mount Norquay Road and overlooking Banff town, Mount Rundle, Vermilion Lakes, and the Bow Valley, the Juniper Bistro is the perfect place to relax after a day of adventures. In winter, it offers a unique après menu to compliment a day of skiing and in summer the patio offers breathtaking views over the valley."

"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."

"Located inside Irwin’s Mountain Inn Hotel, this restaurant serves up food with a Mexican and Spanish influence. In addition to mains, they also serve tapas, which are smaller plates that enable you to try a variety of foods. Tapas are quite popular in Spain and two options we tried during our visit was the Sauza Cream Prawns, which are sauteed in a tequila cream sauce, as well as the Seafood Ceviche, which includes Salmon, Prawns, and Scallops marinated in lime juice, tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro and onions."

"El Toro has been a feature in Banff for over 40 years, and features Canadian cuisine with a spanish/latino twist. Breakfasts cost between 7 and 15 bucks and features a very egg heavy menu; eggs benedicts, omelettes, scrambles, breakfast burritos etc. It’s wholesome food that’s worth checking out if Banff is busy and you’re looking for a breakfast spot in a pinch or you’re getting an early start."

"Juniper Hotel & Bistro – Amazing restaurant and bistro with scenic mountain views. Perfect for a romantic stay-cation, at a great price with gorgeous views and food. Book your stay at the Juniper Hotel & Bistro here"

"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."

"This new room is actually an outpost of a celebrated Quebec-based Italian restaurant, but the cabin-chic design makes the transplant feel right at home in the Moose Hotel. Though there are other Italian restaurants in Banff, Pacini is the only one serving brunch on weekends (with mouth-watering offerings like capicollo and pesto eggs benny, and breakfast lasagna crepes stuffed with ham, spinach and alfredo sauce) and breakfast everyday. If you're there later in the day, you can't go wrong with asparagus and shrimp risotto, or the Italian feast for two with steak, sausage, asparagus topped with Sicilian sea salt."

"With beautiful views of Tunnel Mountain, this Italian restaurant plays with your senses as you bite into classic Italian plates with the sights of the Rockies. You will be tempted to lay down after feasting on their signature all-you-can-eat bread bar that comes with creamy pesto, tomato and basil, plain, or garlic spread. Plenty gluten-free options for their dishes are also available."

"The gondola in Banff takes you up almost 3000ft up above the town and is a great place to take photos, especially at sunset. If you like hiking then it's possible to walk up there too. It takes around 2.5 hours to get to the top and you can reward yourself with a soak in the Banff hot springs when you come back down."

"Next on our list is one of the most famous things to do in Banff and that’s taking the Banff Gondola up Sulphur Mountain. From the top, the views are absolutely stunning!. To me, the Banff Gondola is the most spectacular gondola ride in Canada."

"After exploring the Banff town, head to the Sulphur mountains. The Banff Sightseeing Gondola is located 5 minutes from the Town of Banff."

"The Cascades of Time Gardens is behind the building and was a great place for a stroll through its gardens and flower beds."
