Our son's 40th birthday dinner. Great food, service, and people. Felt like home probably wouldn't have left for a while had we not had other plans. Would recommend everyone try this dinner experience at least once, if not make it their favorite place to dine.

Gaucho is heating things up in the mountains! Gauchos are the cowboys of South America – a national symbol of pride and tradition.

Our barbecue chefs will bring perfectly roasted meats directly to your table on massive Gaucho-style skewers, each with a tender selection of cuts of the day. Enjoy our traditionally prepared marinades of meat and our vast selection of hot and cold dishes for lunch or dinner.

Feel transported by Gaucho’s authentic food and friendly staff as ancient Brazilian traditions come alive in Canmore's only Churrascaria, conveniently located on Main Street. Come Taste the Tradição.

If you are eating keto, you will love this place. It is one price ($65 each, I believe) for all you can eat meat, cooked like Brazilian BBQ, along with some very nice salads and other sides. I enjoyed everything I ate, and we ate a lot! It is a hurried experience, as the hot swords of meat are rushed from table to table so that you receive the meat hot. And you get a small portion each time so that you can enjoy the variety. It is a different dining experience but worth a try.

Absolutely one of the best brunches iv been to lately. I’m a Banff local and love coming to silver tip in summer as my husband loves to golf there. It turns out winter brunch is just as lovely, live pianist, wood fire, incredible food and service! My family and I will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful experience and Merry Christmas
