Best Fast Food Restaurants in Kananaskis

"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."

"Eddie Burger & Bar: a cute burger joint not far from Tooloulou’s. They offer some specialty burgers as well as beers. When you walk by the restaurant you will definitely be drawn in by the delicious smell of their truffle fries."

"Arguably one of the signature food items of our nation's capital, the BeaverTail and its official chain of "pastry" shops started way back when in 1978. In other provinces, a very similar pastry is known as elephant ears, but a beaver reference (no, not that one) is definitely more Canadian. They've been slowly making their way westward over the past few years and Banff now has not one, but two locations on its main strip."

"While Ontario enjoys many locations of this staple-peddling restaurant, Alberta has just a small handful – including one in Banff. Back in 1978, the pastry was invented by the founders of the chain and was later trademarked."

"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."

"At Wendy’s in Canmore, AB we’re serving burgers made with 100% fresh, never frozen beef. Order natural cut fries, Wendy’s classic"

"I know that Beaver Tails is more of a take-out spot than a restaurant but I feel it’s worth mentioning because their offerings are so delicious. A beaver tail is a Canadian take on the traditional state fair elephant ear. Customize your beaver tail with all sorts of topping options or opt for it plain with just a dusting of sugar (my preference)."

"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."

"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."

"The Willow Stream Spa in the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel is one of the most famous spas in the Canadian Rockies. They are proudly one of the 25 best spas in Canada, an award they won from the Canadian Spa & Wellness Awards. The focal point of the Willow Stream Spa is the rejuvenating waters that brought people to the iconic "Castle in the Rockies" 100 years ago."
