Best Casual Restaurants in Banff

Perhaps the best pasta I have ever tasted - seriously great house-made pasta with excellent tooth and perfect sauces. We had both the Cacio e Pepe and pasta al Limone. The caprese salad had amazingly flavorful tomatoes -and in December. Such a great meal, with creative cocktails and cocktails as well. Worth the visit.

Wonderful people working on Christmas Day. My steak was not great, a bit tough they offered to replace with another meal I decided not to but they discounted it. Everyone else was happy with their food.

Yet another excellent experience at Farm & Fire. Accommodating restaurant that made our party of 8 very welcome. Great table choice and our server helped with suggestions and did not over sell. Tomohawk and full chicken excellent as were sides of mash, croquettes, risotto and carrots. Philosophy and leadership evident in all staff, an example to management. Our favourite in Banff this holiday fortnight.

Booked for early evening to take advantage of the happy hour menu… food was so spectacular that we ordered off the full menu anyway. The service here is very attentive and thoughtful. The menu choices are interesting and perfectly balanced and I love the open airy feel of the restaurant. Most restaurants that are inside hotels are lacklustre. NOT Brazen… I dine here even if I wasn’t staying in the hotel. Delicious.

The food were phenomenal. We had classic nachos and chicken quesadillas. Strawberry margaritas were very delicious. Definitely will be back!
