I had an unreal time checking out the Caribou Grill. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was fast and friendly. I definitely would recommend checking out the grill. My server, Andrew was awesome and so helpful. I can't wait to visit Valemount again and dine here.

In the small little town of Valemount, this restaurant is a gem. The steaks and pastas are well cooked, and the ambiance is really cozy. Our server, Andrew was really, really nice. Just an enjoyable dinner all around!

Blue/rare steak! Yum!

Valemont is a tiny little town hiding a delightful gem of a restaurant. The menu selection is limited which is fine because what they do offer they do an amazing job at. I ordered the 6oz steak (they gave me a 9oz) and it was one of the best steaks I've had in a very long time! I ordered it blue/rare and it actually came that way! I didn't want any sides, and they knocked seven dollars off my bill. I didn't expect that but I sure wasn't complaining. I would eat here again in a heartbeat, but a shame it's far away. Service was fantastic as well.

What better location for a meal on the doorstep of the Canadian Rockies than a genuine log cabin? Walking out of the snow I was immediately struck by the scale of the building, which was built by the owners in the late '90s. A single large open space, topped by a central beam made from two tree trunks joined end-to-end, we estimated that something like 60 or more trees must have gone into building it. The decor is classic mountain chalet - mounted deer skulls with their enormous antlers, Aboriginal crafts and plaster casts of bear pawprints. Coming from the Lower Mainland, it is nice to dine somewhere land is not at a premium - the large comfortable chairs and spacious layout is a welcome contrast to the crowded restaurant environment I'm used to. The menu is pretty standard mountain fare, meat, vegetables and soups and our meals were all tasty and well prepared. The kids were very well catered for, with roast beef and fries making an appearance on their menu along with the more traditional grilled cheese and chicken fingers. The boys thought it was the best restaurant meal ever, so they deserve 4 stars just for that. I had a home made seafood chowder which was hearty without being too rich. My main course was a ribeye steak - not the best I've ever had, but still tasty and tender. My wife had the highly recommended Prime Rib and was not disappointed. So all in all, Caribou Grill gets 4 stars, mainly for the setting. It's a real experience and an unexpected pleasure in a town otherwise distinguished only by the ratio of motels to permanent residents. Oh, and the amazing mountain location.

Seafood chowder yummm

I ordered the prime rib and shrimp special. It came with a soup or salad to start, so I chose the seafood chowder. It was delicious, had a hint of nutmeg which was nice. The prime rib came out medium, I would have preferred medium rare. Was flavourful. Came with onions, mushrooms, and a baked potato. The shrimp were breaded and deep fried. The food tasted fresh and delicious. I ordered the house Merlot which was delicious as well The service was very friendly. Considering how many tables there were it would have been nice if the server was more attentive, but regardless, that didn't affect my overall experience that negatively. Her friendliness made up for it. I still have her 25% I wasn't thrilled with the price. Although I am very cheap. But I know I can get prime rib and crab at the keg for the same price and it's Fantastic there. When your getting a nice piece of meat surf n turf though, you should expect to be paying a pretty price, especially due to its isolated location. Overall experience was great, I'll definitely go back next time I'm spending the night in valemount.

Excellent restaurant. It was recommended by a college as the place to eat dinner while I was in town. I had the Tofu Teriyaki Steak which was great. My server was extremely knowledgeable in not only the menu but also how different items would be prepared in different ways. Definitely worth eating here.

Can never imagine would need to wait 30 mins for a table in a small town. Is our last evening in the mountain so we decide to wait and have a nice dinner. The restaurant is decorated as a country lodge, lots of fun stuff to see. My husband ordered the steak with carbonara and I had the sea food linguini. Totally delicious. The seafood chowder is not too bad, I only wish the cheese bread is warmed up. We shared a Real Brew root beer, so glad we shared, it taste sweeter than a regular root beer, too much sugar for me.

Very good food. Busy place, long cue, waited at least 30 minutes. I ordered the grill prime rib roast, the beef is excellent and the service is good. Price of $26.00 is reasonable and acceptable for the quality of the beef. Beware that parking is a challenge and reservation is recommended. I give this venue a 4/5 and is probably the best restaurant in Valemount, if you are on your way to Jasper. It is a restful break.

Food and service was five star just a bit pricey. The place was clean and looked new. We were told it was the best place in town to eat.

The Moose Pub - Double Ultimate burger.

The Moose Pub

4.0(1 review)

You don't end up in Valemount by accident. No one drifts into this remote junction of highway and…read moremountain without intention--or at the very least, without a broken-down rig and a busted GPS. But for the seasoned traveler, the wandering soul chasing snow, solitude, or Sasquatch, there's a warm little watering hole that doesn't pretend to be anything more than what it is: The Moose Pub. Smack in the center of the highway drag, The Moose sits like a beacon of honest drink and no-nonsense food. It's not trying to be hip, or ironic, or rustic-chic. It's just... real. Neon signs humming softly in the windows, and that kind of worn-in barstool that tells you someone has sat here--probably every night--for the last twenty years. Now, let's talk beer. If you're coming in expecting 16 craft taps and a tasting flight served on a reclaimed cedar plank--go back to Vancouver. The Moose has no taps. That's right. Not a single one. It's a bit of a letdown at first. But then you eye the beer list and it's respectable spread of bottles and cans. Local-ish, domestic, some imports if you're lucky. Cold. Cheap. Efficient. It helps that's it's attached to the towns liquor and beet store. Go figure. Hungry? Skip the kale! Order the Double Ultimate Burger - a tower of greasy, beefy defiance against veganology. It's not a burger; it's an edible dare. If you're not hungry enough to wrestle that beast, stick to fries and humility. If you are that hungry, just remember: you're walking distance from most accommodations. And after this burger, you'll be crawling and rolling. The Moose stays open late, and it's the kind of place that doesn't judge. You might run into loggers, sledders, truckers, maybe a lost German backpacker who took a wrong turn in Jasper. The jukebox might be playing Skynyrd, or Drake, or some bizarre YouTube playlist the bartender put on in 2013 and never changed. It's fine. It's all fine. No, you won't find culinary transcendence here. You won't Instagram the presentation. But you'll sit, and you'll drink, and maybe you'll talk to someone who'll tell you a story that sticks. Valemount doesn't need frills. Neither does its bar. Cheers!
