Restaurants near Emerald Lake Lodge

We were three ladies celebrating two 50 year milestones. The first was our reunion of a time before where we all met and worked and started our “responsible” adult lives in Banff. The second but more important celebration was 50 years celebrating being a Canadian Citizen. What better way to celebrate than Afternoon Tea at the Chateau Lake Louise on beautiful sunny snowy cold day. Ross was our server and he was masterful and convivial and the afternoon melted away. I need not elaborate on the food other than “WOW.” And thank you to all.

We had an amazing evening! The special was a 30 layers lasagna which tasted amazing but was not the size you’d expect when you spend $30 on a 1 inch thick 30 layer piece. Portion needs to be addressed

The Bluebird is wonderful in every way. We loved the ambiance perhaps most of all, but everything was five stars. I wish we’d found it earlier in our stay in Banff, as we would’ve eaten here or enjoyed the cozy bar more than once. Highly recommend!

The food is good but wish it was better for the price. If you like heavy, rich, old-school fine dining, this is the place. I do recommend the menu in the Kicking Horse Lounge though. Had the best grilled cheese of my life!

Staff was fantastic from Sam who seated us early, to our server AJ and the cook Ryan who prepared our Caesar salad table side. It was wonderful to find out that both Ryan and AJ had lived in the city we were from. The atmosphere was wonderful and the view of Lake Louise from the window side table was breathtaking. Will definitely return here in the future.
