"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 gastropub hits a double whammy: ingeniously flavored pizzas washed down with locally brewed pints. Banffites head here in droves for a plate of pulled-pork nachos or a bison-and-onion pizza, accompanied by... Canadian in Banff Town"
"I highly recommend the Godfather pizza amd the pulled pork nachos!. We happened to be there with our family and two dogs and they staff... (403) 762-2021Order online"
"Banff-goers of a certain age might remember this space as the notorious nightclub and bad-decision factory Silver City. These days it’s home to High Rollers, a bowling alley-beer hall-pizza joint. Lace up a pair of retro-styled kicks and hit the lanes, then move the party over to the neon-lit bar area where long wooden tables practically guarantee that you’ll end up making friends."
"High Rollers is more commonly known as “the bowling alley” because that’s exactly what it is. Don’t be fooled by its humble exterior because inside it’s a really nice spot – think bowling alley meets upscale ski chalet. This pub-atmosphere is great for an evening out or a few beers après-ski!"
"If you’re after the best pizza in Banff head to High Rollers for some bowling. It’s your old school bowling alley that feels grungy, instead, you’ll find modern decor, craft beer, wings, and delicious NY style pizza. Don’t miss out on their super tasty waffle fries or poutine."
"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."

"One of the first places I ever ate in Banff and still as good today. The Silver Dragon is Banff’s premier Chinese restaurant. The portions are big, the food is delicious and it’s always busy."
"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."
"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."
"The charming Banff Avenue was lined with many galleries, restaurants and stores. It helped a lot that sunset was at almost 10 PM everyday. Don’t miss strolling through this resort town surrounded by rugged mountain peaks."
"The east side of Banff is dominated by the Tunnel Mountains, another scenic loop drive you don’t want to miss out on. If you’ve ever wanted to scale a mountain, here’s your chance. You can drive your way up to Banff’s smallest summit and enjoy some 360 degrees of stunning vistas."
"For a more upscale experience, why not take your apres to a castle?. The best part of this quaint wine and charcuterie cellar in the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel is the artistic creation of your house-cured meat and artisan cheese board right before your eyes. If you’re not seated near the chef’s station, the historic and classic ambience is still sure to charm the senses."
"Maybe because everyone is fueling up for a big day in the mountains, morning meal spots abound and many do it really right. Brunos Bar and Grill is one such place that serves a killer breakfast and mounds of it at a reasonable price. Veggie options are available yet the menu is definitely pig heavy."
"It can be incredibly annoying at times when a restaurant offers only one or two vegan options that you’re stuck with and probably wouldn’t usually choose. We’ve all been there, gazing at the menu trying to drum up excitement over the third mushroom burger you’ve eaten this week. Luckily, Parks Distillery and Earls Kitchen + Bar both offer kick-ass plant-based menus."
"Earl’s Banff 299 Banff Avenue (403) 762-4414 11:30am til late. Earl’s is always reliable for good meal. Their menu has burgers, pizza, pasta and other creative entrées, salads and appetizers."
