9 Banff Restaurants You Need to Dine At

"Definitely more of a locals haunt than a tourist one (which is nice), Eddie has got a lot of charm in its little interior and some great burgers. If peanut butter and jelly sounds like a weird combination in a burger, we would have to agree, but somehow it works perfectly alongside double-smoked bacon, tomato and jalapeno cheese, all squished in-between a pretzel buns. Eddie also serves up Caesars garnished with a chicken wing, which we definitely approve of."
"Eddie Burger + Bar serves up some of the best burgers in town. Get your Canadian on and order a classic Alberta beef, Stampede bison burger, or Eddie Mac cheeseburger and wash it down with a shake. Eddie’s also offers a veggie burger and gluten-free options."

"Located right on Banff Avenue, this bowling alley and beer hall blend is family-friendly until 10 p.m. A great place to unwind and fuel up after a day on the slopes, kids will love the New York Style pizza between rolls of the bowling ball, and those 18+ will be spoilt for choice with over 48 craft beers on tap."
"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."

"Created by a group of local friends and colleagues, the Radiant wraps its concept around arts and culture. It’s a parlor and lounge with a live entertainment stage. The drinks menu offers Roaring Radiant Cocktails such as the Little Black Dress and Chicago Overcoat, as well as #ginstagrams that all feature Canadian gin paired with artisan tonics and things such as rose petals, black cardamom and dehydrated strawberries."
"The Radiant is as rich in character as it is in the flavours of its diverse menu. The shareable plates feel like they could each tell a story of their own, from the smoked ratatouille to the Tuna Matata. An ambience of prohibition-era allure spills out from the distinctive parlour to the patio on Banff Avenue’s pedestrian-only plaza."

"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."
"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."
