Soup Sandwiches to the rescue!!…read more After a day of hiking and exploring in the Mountains, we were tired, sore, and hangry. Noshing throughout the day we were set on a good soup and sandwich combo. We checked multiple locations and either it was high-end foo foo or just more than we want or just worse. It was pub grub and they had one soup and they weren't sure what it was. We found Wild Flour. They offer multiple soups and sandwiches and a few treats. Kathy selected a carrot fennel bowl (massive) and served with fresh bread and butter, I had a meat and cheese grilled cheese on a focaccia bread, Of course we "shar-zies" and the comfort was enjoyed. The team at 630pm was helpful and prompt guided us as we had not eaten at Wild Flour. Good food, reasonably priced for Banff is a find. Go to Wild Flour and enjoy... we did.

Really nice little cafe with excellent pastries…read more I had the almond croissant. Crispy with tons of almonds and a decent almond flavour. The almond paste is to die for - clearly amongst the best. Sweet and rich but not too sweet. Clearly they bake it themselves and it's very substantial. I tried the apple pie cinnamon oat tea latte. Yes the name is a mouthful. It is an amazing drink. Wonderful taste! Good place to stop by and hang out in the morning. Not crowded and people are just hanging out on their laptops etc.

The assistant manager/host was so awesome and attentive. My mom struggles with GI issues and is intolerant to a lot of things -- he did his best to communicate with the chef and our server to create a dish that would be more akin to what my mom could eat. I got the beef & bison meatballs and a side of cornbread. As well as an unleaded espresso martini. Delish! Interior is swanky and dim, but has great big windows that give a lovely view of downtown Banff.

They flambe it before you receive it so you get a little show. But the real show is in the flavor. The peppers and onion with the sweet ginger marinade was outstanding. The beef was fork tender. The duck wings with the sweet glaze was also delicious. And the meatballs were moist and flavorful. Both our sides easily feed the four of us. Service with Cate was great. The atmosphere was cheerful and relaxing.

Cinnamon roll and cronut they heated up. Cinnamon roll was gooddd, unique shape, but delish. Cronut was mid to me, choc ganache overpowered it all, some dulce de leche filling inside cronut. I like cronuts that are flaky but this was soggy as expected. Workers werent the nicest or friendliest. Decent coffee spot, have some baked goods or salty stuff too

If you're craving authentic Louisiana cuisine in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Tooloulou's…read moreabsolutely delivers! As a native New Orleanian, I know true Cajun and Creole flavors, and I was genuinely impressed. The food was rich, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, capturing the soul of Louisiana cooking in every bite. Beyond the incredible dishes, the atmosphere was warm, lively, and inviting. The hospitality from the wait staff truly stood out; they were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. I highly recommend Tooloulou's to anyone looking for an unforgettable meal in Banff. Five stars all the way!

We tried a mix of items including the alligator bites (crispy and well-seasoned), seafood gumbo (rich and hearty), and a blackened chicken sandwich that was cooked perfectly with great spice. The mimosa was a nice touch, and the Waffilicous with caramel sauce for dessert was easily a highlight--decadent and definitely worth ordering. The only downside is that the restaurant is on the smaller side, so seating can feel quite close and a bit cramped during busy times. Overall, the food and experience easily outweigh the tight space. Definitely a place I'd return to.

May 12, 2026. Everything about the Maple leaf was…read moreoutstanding! My wife enjoyed a nice sparkling Prosecco to kick off the evening with our nice-sized Prince Edward Island oysters. We then shared a Waldorf salad, which was refreshing and nice. Then we both selected red wine varietals grown in Canada. I had a Cabernet/Merlot blend which was super great. Would've never guessed it was from Canada. Next, My wife enjoyed a Pinot Noir that was light and complimented our entrée perfectly. Our entrée was the fillet and prawns served over a garlic mashed potato. This is an absolutely extraordinary dish. We shared it and it was just enough for two people. It is a full meal for one person. The filet temperature preparation was perfect. The prawns were extraordinary, and the garlic mashed potato made you curl your toes! Then we closed the evening with the melted chocolate soufflé, which was divine. Here's the one thing that they missed and to me it's an important miss. They use an automated system for taking reservations. And it kept asking for my name to which I said "Chris" and the automated system kept asking me what's your name!? So it asked hey fourth time and in my frustration I got playful and I said "Big Daddy." And it happily received my name and took my reservation. And then asked if there was any special occasion and I said yes my wife and I are celebrating our anniversary. I get that it may not seem normal to say "Big Daddy party for two". So I'll kind of let that pass because neither front door or upstairs Host was willing to ask. But what I don't like that was missed was our anniversary wasn't acknowledged. I was a server for years, and every host gave the server some type of chit or note to let them know if there is a special occasion. We specifically selected a higher end restaurant for anniversary. So somewhere in there, even if you weren't brave enough to say "Big Daddy for two." Someone still should've checked if you were celebrating any special occasion to which we were. Our anniversary. Our server was fabulous. She was super kind helpful and shared about her experience being in Banff. She made us feel great. My overall experience, the Mapleleaf is a great restaurant. But I'm scoring you an A- because you missed our anniversary. and that's why we chose you. So if you're going to use AI, you can't miss special occasions. Chris & Trisha from Long Beach, CA

Juniper Bistro is, without question, one of the best dining experiences we had in Banff and…read morefrankly, one of the best breakfasts we've had anywhere. We were on our honeymoon and ended up dining at Juniper three separate times during our trip. That alone should say something. The food quality, consistency, and service were exceptional every single visit. Our server, Hera, delivered service that genuinely surpassed what we've experienced at multiple Michelin-starred restaurants. Attentive without hovering, warm, knowledgeable, and effortlessly professional, she made each meal feel special and memorable. On a honeymoon, that level of care matters, and she nailed it. The food deserves its own spotlight. The Eggs Benedict is the best we've ever had. Perfectly executed, balanced, rich without being heavy, and clearly made with intention. The Churro French Toast is unforgettable: indulgent, crisp, soft, and expertly seasoned. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted, not just "good for a hotel restaurant," but genuinely outstanding by any standard. We regularly dine at Michelin-recognized restaurants, and while Juniper Bistro is not Michelin-listed, the food quality here was better than many Michelin meals we've had. That's not hyperbole, it's an honest comparison.
