For the double scoop of Madagascar vanilla and coconut with chocolate and coconut flakes. The Madagascar vanilla was a little sweeter than the coconut option. But my fave was the coconut one cuz the light flakes of chocolate remind me of eating an almond joy. They have ice cream sandwiches and cakes for sale as well. I really enjoy watching them scoop new flavors of ice cream from the ice cream maker and changing the flavors signage as new batches of flavors get finished.

While browsing some of the shops when visiting Banff, we stumbled upon Beaver tails. The shop…read moreitself is on the smaller side with no seating inside and take out only, and the line was quite long. That being said the line moved relatively fast, I'd say we only waited around 10 minutes before we were able to order. When we got to the front of the line we decided to order the Maple beaver tail which comes with maple glaze as well as a chocolate drizzle. The worker highly recommended this one and it did not disappoint. The base tasted like a long fried donut which was light and airy and the topping tasted like maple glaze with warm fudge drizzle. It was delicate and delicious without feeling overly greasy!

It's delicious, trust me. It's not going to be the most innovative or life changing dessert, but…read moreit's a delicious crunchy dough topped with sweets and it's Canadian! Can't get better than that. We tried both beavertails on Main Street just for a quality check :p our favorite was the pistachio. No seating inside, it's more of a grab and beavertail outta there, walk while you eat. Service was quick, there were only two people working inside at the time we went and lots of customers. They were killing it.

The pizzas themselves were fine but nothing mind-blowing. I was a bit disappointed with the Maple Mac and Cheese since I couldn't really taste any maple flavor.

I appreciated the freshness and quality ingredients of the food itself. Service was slow, it took a long time for water refills or to get the food. My salad was tasty but more so just okay. I didn't love the pizza my parents shared, I thought the crust wasn't fully cooked/crisped on the underside. The sauce, in my opinion, was sweet. The restaurant had great ambiance, well done interior and lots of different styles of tables and seating arrangements. It was a very popular recommendation from the locals in Canmore.

Favourite late night hang-out spot in Canmore. Great beer selection, really good food and friendly…read moreservice keep bringing me back. Todd, one of the evening servers, is old-school cool. He and the excellent Chicago hot wings make Fergus & Bix worth more than one late night Happy Hour visit. The wings are marinaded, fried, dipped then baked - perfect. I'm a little beer snobby, but my spouse says the in-house Wooden Ship beers are good. Great place to watch sports too. Lots of TVs but not too intrusive if you're not interested. Ambiance is warm and relaxed. Happy Hour offers some nice choices, and is twice per day every day as is the norm in this tourist town. Definitely recommended for folks who want a pleasant adult atmosphere. You also avoid excessively intoxicated and rowdy revellers. They're over at the corner of Rose & Crown and Drake.

Upon arrival, we were provided with a liquor menu but not a full food menu, and were directed to order from the happy hour menu. This created a bit of confusion at first, but we made the best of it. We ordered the Beer Board, which included a selection of sausages, Italian meats, cheeses, and pretzel bread. It was well put together, with good variety and satisfying portions--great for a late-night bite. Overall, while the experience wasn't exceptional, it was a decent stop considering the circumstances. It served its purpose and provided a solid option when not much else was available. That said, the bar itself is pretty decent. Carries some ambiance --perhaps a place you'd hang out for a few drinks.

The main was a 6 or 10oz steak or upgraded ribs. Appetizers were mash potato, carrots and cabbage. And dessert was crème brule or a chocolate mud pie that was a chocolate ice cream. I dunno if this is a Banff thing but most restaurants celebrate bdays in some way- I didn't see it really celebrated here. We were travelling celebrating a joint birthday my partner and I. We love festive and cheesy. So this was not the place. But cool matches as a restaurant souvenir.

As we were planning our Canada trip, I wanted to make sure we tried some iconic foods and staples…read morethat are well known here. Beavertails came up and we saw they had shops within Banff, so we decided to try them out after our lunch. They had a flavor called "mEHple" and since maple syrup is also a Canada staple, we figured this would be a good pick. What we didn't notice was the chocolate drizzle that was on top of the maple syrup in the menu photo. The chocolate overwhelmed the entire dessert, and was a bit too much for our group. The pastry was good, crispy and flaky, but we really couldn't get through the entire thing without getting a huge bite of chocolate syrup. I think if they had put less chocolate, or even removed the chocolate altogether and just left the maple syrup, that would've been way better!

We couldn't miss out on trying this iconic Canadian dessert, so we had to stop by during our…read moredowntown Banff shopping session. Since maple is also something that screams Canada, we opted for the mEHple flavor. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown. The pastry itself was good as it was light and flaky but still crispy, and we enjoyed the maple flavor. However, there was so much chocolate drizzled onto it that all we could taste was the overwhelming Hershey's chocolate drizzle-like taste. We didn't notice the chocolate drizzle on the menu photo, although I noticed there are a few different menus floating around, and some show the chocolate drizzle while others don't. However I saw a photo uploaded from a different Yelper of their mEHple pastry, and they had way less chocolate on theirs. I think it had to potential to be delicious, but it's just unfortunate that it was loaded with so much chocolate to the point where we couldn't really taste anything else. There were 6 of us that shared one BeaverTail and yet we couldn't even finish it. Overall, it was cool to try a uniquely Canadian dessert, but would recommend staying away from the ones with chocolate drizzle...or at least asking the staff to go light on the drizzle.
