Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Canmore

"The scenic blue Lake Minnewanka has much to offer the outdoors recreationalist: hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing and booing. Winter activities include cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. It is a nature photographer’s dream, with gorgeous scenery and an abundance of wildlife, including deer, bears, mountain sheep and elk."

"Close to Two Jack Lake, Lake Minnewanka has been used by the First Nations Communities 10,000 years ago. Facing north, it's a very popular place to view the Aurora Borealis. My favourite views are the ones of Mount Inglismaldie."

"Starting from Stoney Trailhead, it’s only a 1.7 km hike into Kananaskis Country to visit the glorious Troll Falls. The trail is flat and comfortable for most beginner hikers. Over the winter these falls will completely freeze over, leaving you with an icy mass that you can climb onto."

"Troll Falls is not technically located in the Canadian Rockies, but in Kananaskis country. The short, relatively flat stroll to the falls is appropriate for families, especially those with small children, who will love the falls at the end!. What’s special about these falls?"

"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."

"Renovated just a few years ago, Buffalo Mountain Lodge’s Sleeping Buffalo Dining Room feels like it’s a world away from Banff’s bustling main street. The food is upscale Canadiana with plenty of offerings from Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts’ game ranch. This is also the place for wine lovers — the restaurant’s wine list has won several awards, thanks to its curated selections of both international and Canadian wines."

"If you want to be in the heart of the action of Banff proper Buffalo Mountain Lodge is a great choice for a hotel in Banff. Situated just minutes from downtown, Buffalo Mountain Lodge offers free shuttles for guests to go out for dinner, drinks or downtown shopping. We loved building a fire in our room as we overlooked our Rocky Mountain view."

"Slightly off the beaten path, the restaurant at the Buffalo Mountain Lodge is a nice escape from downtown. The food is traditional Albertan fair with an upscale twist. Think local bison with pickled melon."

"The Juniper Hotel is a small hotel just outside of Banff Town, surrounded by mountains and woodland. It is not uncommon to have wildlife sightings around the Juniper Hotel even though it is just a 25-minute walk from the center of Banff Town. The hotel has 52 rooms and plenty of handy amenities, like bike rentals on site, an activity planning desk, and an outdoor hot tub."

"Outdoor hot tub, onsite restaurant with amazing gourmet food and reviews, mountain views, all rooms have a mini-fridge. Without a doubt, the Juniper Hotel has the best views in all of Banff. Set at the base of Mt Norquay only a couple of minutes from town, this peaceful hotel offers mountain views from every window and balcony."

"Overlooking Banff, on Juniper Way, The Juniper Hotel Bistro is ideally situated for an après drink on the way back from Mount Norquay. Cocktails are made using local ingredients, the wine list is all Canadian, and local craft beer features too."

"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."

"A Canadian cuisine experience of the upscale variety housed in an après-ski-influenced setting. It is well known for its focus on all-Canadian products, from British Columbia salmon to Alberta bison and maritime lobster."

"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."

"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."
