    Amazing service, ambiance, food and drinks. Cocktails were delicious too. This was the perfect late lunch place to kick off our vacation in the Canmore-Banff area.

    Ginger eggplant sandwich with harasa fries

    Very inclusive restaurant offering well marked vegetarian and vegan options. The food was very good and such a nice surprise to have vegan options in a restaurant here. We even got to have a variety of ice creams to choose from for dessert. The ambiance is cool with amazing mountain views from the patio seating and also inside the restaurant which is lined with huge windows. This place can get busy so I was happy we were there on a weekday with fewer people.

    Powder Day ice cream

    Amazing service and food! We checked out Blake Brewhouse & Distillery on a Saturday night. The restaurant was busy and were seated minutes after arriving. I like that they serve ciders from Core Values Cider Co. We decided to try the Sautéed Shrimp, Satay Fries, and Braised Lamb Dip Bao. Every dish was innovative, beautifully presented, and the flavours worked so well together. We ended our meal with Powder Day ice cream, which was full of fresh coconut and was so creamy. I highly recommend this restaurant for fantastic food and drinks.

    I'm celiac, followed findmegf app here after a long day of hiking. Darren my server had a great understanding of allergy & because I asked a million and one questions about gluten and promptly forgot to order gf bun he caught it and saved me. Shout out Darren for knowledge and going above and beyond service wise. Fries have separate fryer. Menu had clear markings for GF, DF, V.

    Pork belly burnt ends
    Dang L.

    Great foods. They were able to accomodate our party of 14 with 2 tables next to each other. Good variety of food menu and drinks. The braised beef : 4.5 stars. well presented and tender. Duck legs: 5 stars. So crispy with the tangy and sweet peach bbq. One of my favorite. Pork belly burnt ends: 4 stars. really burnt. Good flavors and sauce. Garlicky greens: 5 stars. Broccolini were cooked to perfection with garlic chips and a garlic mash. One of my favorite dishes of the night.

    Tofu lettuce wraps
    Lynn N.

    The lettuce wraps with tofu were good. The marinade on the tofu was flavorful although a bit salty. The lettuce wraps came with pickles, kimchi, pickled onions, pickled carrots and daikon, and rice. The combination of items in a lettuce wrap worked well together! The Dahl burger was good. The sauce on the burger was a medium spice and perfect for a lentil/kidney bean burger patty. The vegan ceasar salad was very flavorful too. Our group ordered a few burgers and everyone enjoyed them. This is a great restaurant option for Canmore.

    Very friendly service at the bar! Nice looking place both outside and inside; open, clean, and happy customers. (Maybe that's just Canada?) The food came out fast and was very tasty. The craft beer on tap was also delicious. Definitely worth a try if you're in Canmore!

    So good we had to go back:) My husband and I visited twice while staying near the area and were impressed with the food and general vibe of the place. We did not have to wait to be seated at around 225pm(1st visit) and 430pm (2nd visit) started with Sangria and a beer for the hubby. We also order the bread with flavor infused butter and the burnt ends, my husband's favorite and a must have if on the menu. These were Asian inspired and fantastic. Bao and Brisket were our entrees- both delicious. The brisket was very tender and portion sizes were large. Even though we were stuffed we wanted to try the ice cream- Strawberry Rhubarb was amazing! When we returned for a second visit we did get the burnt ends again as well as the Burger with Charcoal Bun and Butter Chicken sandwich. Both prepared well and tasted great. Fries were salty and crisp. Staff were friendly and attentive. The large doors being open was the cherry on top- nice breezy summer day vibes while sipping Sangria and listening the their epic playlist:) Nicely Done Blake Brewhouse!!! Highly Recommended!

    Their parking lot is all dirt, so it could get dusty when windy or muddy when it rains. There were no parking spots available, but I was able to park on the street. They have patio and indoor seating available. When the weather is good, they will open the garage door so you can enjoy the outside air. But it was a little warm and windy when we were there so they had it shut. I noticed that there were a few Asian inspired items, which I ended up ordering their pork chop. It was a little on the smaller side, but it was good. The cocktails here were just ok, but I would stick with their beers. Overall, it's a good stop over if you are either in the area or need a break before heading back to Calgary.

    Braised lamb sandwich on top, Tofu Sweet potato bao buns with side salad next to sandwich
    Alia G.

    Very Tasty! This is not your typical bar / brewery food. These folks are creative with their dishes. The husband had the braised lamb sandwich and it was like a Bahn Mi sandwich made with lamb but only better. Incredibly tender and flavorful ....this sandwich melted in your mouth. I got a small bite... If we have time to go back... I'm ordering this for myself. I was "trying to be good"... so I ordered the Tofu Sweet Potato Bao Buns with a salad. You don't even miss the meat. These bao buns are bursting with goodness, flavor, a touch of heat and veg! So many good things going on here. And the buns?! OMG! Light and airy... not dense thick buns. The salad... is no pedestrian, ordinary salad. For being a vegan caesar salad, there was no shortage of flavor nor ingredients. Perfectly dressed in their peppercorn dressing... it had lettuce, pickled cabbage, capers, smoked coconut bits and crispy chickpeas. I don't think I'll ever be able to order a normal caesar salad again without thinking back fondly on this salad. Keep in mind, I'm not vegan.... so this was a total surprise to me and I LOVED IT! I had a cider and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was light, crisp, dry, tart and a little fruity. Just perfect for a light afternoon adult beverage. Husband had a beer and very much liked it. Like I said... if we have time, we will be back. Highly recommend this awesome place!

    The drinks and food were great! The server was fantastic. We loved that you can eat on the patio with your dog. It was a lovely view of the mountains and there was plenty of space between tables.

    Very picturesque restaurant with a great view of the three sisters. Our cocktails were good. Service was friendly. My husband and I split the bao buns and the burger. We liked the bao buns more but both were tasty.

    Mechanic Burger w Masala Fries
    Jacky C.

    Asian fusion restaurant with a brewery. Someone next to us came in and immediately left as they were unwilling to try Asian food, even though it's a really creative take on what I know it as American food with the fusion twist. Loved the uniqueness and they were absolutely delicious. Being that this was a distillery, I had to get their BLAKE Beer Flight ($16) to try out multiple selections. Unfortunately they were out of a lot of the selections and got stuck with mostly light beers, not my favorite. For appetizers, we ordered the Duck Wings ($18) which had a maple kimchi glaze to the wings. Was an enjoyable starter. The Coconut Fried Rice ($16) with Prawns (+$7) essentially was like any ordinary fried rice dish. Didn't really get that coconut rice taste you'd expect in a Thai dish. Still good regardless. The fiancé ordered the Braised Lamb Dip ($28) and substituted the sea salt fries with Red Pepper Coconut Soup (+$5). This is essentially similar to a French Dip Sandwich, but with a Vietnamese twist using braised lamb shoulder. It was a messy dish, but tasty. The Red Pepper Coconut Soup is a good substitute if you need to not consume soo many fries. I personally ordered the Mechanic Burger ($28) and substituted for Masala Fries (+$5). The black charcoal bun got my attention when I first saw it and I've been consuming Alberta beef this entire trip and have not got sick of it yet. That "secret sauce" they use combined with everything else makes this their signature and it's a hit alright. The Masala Fries I've probably could have passed on. Don't think it's worth the extra $5.

    Banff Ave Brewing Co is on the south side of town close to the bridge, and it's easy to miss among…read moreall the other exciting restaurants and bars on Banff Ave. But I'm so glad we found it on our wanderings on a cold Friday afternoon, as it provided a warm and welcoming environment for us to thaw and socialize indoors. Our server was very friendly albeit a bit frazzled, but the vibes were great all around. One of the best things about Banff Ave Brewing is that all appetizers are half off on Fridays (at least during happy hour)! They also have a nice selection of beers. Their flights are neat in that they offer 6 options instead of the more typical 4, so you can try everything you want to try. We had the nachos, poutine, and several beers. The poutine was a bit salty but the nachos were excellent, definitely get the beer cheese sauce as an add-on. I also got to try a special dragonfruit kolsch they had on tap, which was really mild and easy drinking as well. I'll definitely be back when I'm in Banff again!

    Great spot for a chill drink and snack. Stopped in while waiting for our lake shuttle and had a…read morehard cider and Caesar salad. Both were delicious! Husband had the cascade salad and said the chicken was a little dry. Watched the World Cup game on the TVs with a great view. Staff was friendly and fun. One star off for it being a little pricey, but it's a tourist town.
