    This is no longer a wine bar. About 2 months ago (4/25) it was changed to a pizza place. Not a…read morevery good pizza place. We tried two, the Margarita and their mushroom pizza. The flavor was not bad but they really skimped on the amount of toppings. For what these cost, you deserve better. I also tried their Caesar Salad. Could have used more dressing but it was a good salad. Service kind of fit in with the food. While my back was turned to the room, I believe there was only one person for much of our visit trying to do it all. Interactions were businesslike, and there was a delay in paying.

    This was the only wine bar I was able to find in Banff and at first didn't realize it's located in…read morethe Fairmont hotel. The Fairmont is massive so be sure to read the posted guides. The wine bar is located on the mezzanine level. I was able to easily make reservations on open table. The bar is small but it is sooo romantic and classy. The music set a nice vibe and our sommelier Dana was so friendly and welcoming. She gave us great recommendations and even walked me to the bathroom. She also gave us the best table in the place, looking out to the garden! Loved her! You can build your own charcuterie board by picking the amount of cheese and charcuterie you want. I'm vegetarian so my friend and I went with 2 cheeses and the rest of the assorted snacks are provided. It was sooo yummy. The jam and nuts were delicious. We just had the best time and cannot recommend this wine bar enough :-).

    Lots of easy parking in front. A little fancier inside than expected which made for a nice date…read moredinner. Staff were great. We tried the white wine flight for $26.32. They were all very drinkable which was nice but none I would search out at a wine store. Boyfriend tried the Cesear and found it "different" - it looked very dilute to me. Wound not get again. He also tried The Help cocktail - 8/10 not the best but not bad. For entree I got the Pork Schnitzel and he got the Wild Boar Tagliatelle. Pork Schnitzel: 10/10 was very happy with my portion, tastes, and flavors. 100% would come and get again. Wild Boar Tagliatelle: boyfriend was very happy with it. It tasted to much like classic pasta to me - smaller portion that I would have liked too - a handful more noodles would be good! Boyfriend was still hungry after his meal - so we got dessert. We tried Lemon Tartelette: 9.5/10, my only critique is that the tart was Very very small and hardly enough to share. Flavor was 10/10 and the raspberry gelato was 12/10 good. and Mango Cheesecake in a jar: boyfriend liked, but its cream cheese mousse and I Really do not like this - personal preference so I won't rate it. Boyfriend found it very filling/heavy but liked the flavors.

We all got different meals, many with slight alterations and all absolutely loved our food. As well, our drinks were delicious and our service was excellent. It is a little outside the center town of Canmore and seems to be a hidden gem. It is a cute lodge feel with a nice outdoor patio. Would come again on my next trip to Banff/Canmore for sure!

    After visiting this spot, my boyfriend and I had a post-review discussion in the car and without…read morehesitation, we both agreed that this is one of the best restaurants that we've ever been to. This was our last restaurant that we had the pleasure of visiting in Canmore, and we definitely ended up saving the best for last. I chose this restaurant as the spot to celebrate my boyfriend's 30th birthday because I wanted it to be special and it definitely delivered! First off, the service at this spot is impeccable. They truly hire professional, genuine, skilled, and crafty people here who really care about food and the experience. It was very telling and we wanted to highlight that observation. Secondly, the cocktails. During our trip, we were lucky to have Josh as our bartender and not only did he truly know the ins and outs of the liquor and the ingredients that he used, you can tell that he has really perfected the craft at creating a beautifully presented cocktail, and this was already noticed by the way he cuts an orange. The cocktails here were basically like an art piece and had some of the most creative presentations I've ever seen. My cantaloupe island cocktail even had an herb popsicle in it and the after noon cocktail had mint sorbet incorporated into the presentation too, which was none like I've had before. Food-wise, they start you with a complimentary palette cleanser, which was a mini donut topped with fennel and caviar, which was exquisite and enhanced the experience. We then chose the foie gras, root salad, and mackerel as our smaller dishes and the duck and cod as our main course dishes. I swear to you.. each dish that we tried, we looked at each other in awe because we were baffled that something could taste that wonderful and look so aesthetically pleasing at the same time. Our favorite was the cod main course, which happened to be the newest menu item at the time. We also got the baked alaska for dessert since we wanted to complete the entire course, and that was beautifully presented and flavorful as well. The main chef/owner, Danny Beaulieu, and his team absolutely killed everything on this menu, and we were even able to meet with the owner and to speak with him during our visit here. It was a truly lovely experience and we are big time rooting for the restaurant's success. We are really thankful that we were able to experience Ankor and appreciate the love, care, and effort put into this spot. We will definitely see you again and hope to be back soon! :)

We were staying downtown so it was a nice 15 min walk. The food was all delicious, well plated and flavourful. With that being said we did wait almost an hour for our food to arrive. The restaurant was busy and our server was amazing. He made sure our waters were always full and was very helpful with ordering/ suggestions and allergy concerns. At the end of the night instead of making us choose dessert he arranged for a special dessert tastigg by plate for us which was amazing! He also gave us the iPad to control the music in our area once we were the only ones in that area left, we had a great time and almost our own little dance party. Thank you Andre! This place is great and I really recommend it! Only reason for not being 5 stars was just the delay in our mains. Will definitely be back!!

The wait staff was pleasant knowledgeable and accommodating. We were in a large party so we had a semi private dining area. Their specialty cocktails were great and very appealing to the eye in regard to the presentation upon delivery to the table. Very well put together flavour notes hit. The noise level in the restaurant was perfect for socializing so no complaints there. We did have a large party which probably pushed the kitchen staff a bit because some of the plating of a few dishes came out and were not complete ( 2out3 dishes came missing some plating components) when we made a comment to the waiter he went to investigate. They realized the issue and made a course correction on our bills which was appreciated. I hade the pork chops and I'll say the plating presentation was good but the quality of the the chops not so much, now I've worked in the industry in the past so I usually give a wide birth when it comes to the doneness of my proteins. But these were over cooked or seemed to have been cooked from a frozen state because they were dry as an Alberta summer. Not to mention tough and for that reason is why I'm only giving a 3 out of 5. Pork chops should be cooked through but full of juice these definitely missed the mark. The other components of the dish were great cooked proper with a perfect balance of seasoning. I'd come stop in again if I was in town but I'd probably wouldn't get the chops again.
