Our hotel, Chateau Canmore, gave us 10% off coupon to this place. Lots of parking right in front of the restaurant. Place was 50% full Saturday 11AM. Peach Mango Smoothie - 10/10, little pricey but isn't everything. Food came faster than I expected which was a pleasant surprise! I had the Mountaineer - 10/10. Potatoes were for sure my favorite, sausage was not but boyfriend liked them. Boyfriend got the Montreal Smoked Meat Bene Poutine. 9/10. Smoked meat was 10/10 but boyfriend found it all got too soggy for his liking as it has both hollandaise and gravy. Gravy was a little bland for my liking. Overall a good place for classic breakfast items.

This was so good! This place for brunch was perfect. Everything tasted so good and fresh, the vegetarian poutine was delicious. They have a good menu for kids and plenty for the adults. Portions were huge that you can share with others.

bene combo

I really enjoyed this place for breakfast, there were several options on the menu and I opted for the bene combo, fruity crepe and feta spinach benedict. I loved that I could get a combination of the two and it was the perfect amount. My serve was fantastic and very attentive. The restaurant is so cute in this mountain town & is great for a lovely breakfast or brunch.

Shaft on the patio

The food was sooo good. All my friends enjoyed their meals. You have to order a shaft and a bottle of champagne for brunch mimosas. Our service was great and made the experience fun. We sat on the patio for the beautiful views.

If I could go back, I'd most definitely go back to brunch at this place in Canmore, Alberta. This is a beautiful brunch spot that serves all day breakfast. Their beautiful French inspired decor makes the place more attractive. The staff was really friendly and welcoming which is why you need to re-read the first line in my post. Coming to food, we tried a lot of different items including: Montreal smoked meat - egg benedict combo with Butter and Cinnamon crepe Strawberry and cream cheese French toast classic poutine Salmon served with potatoes and veggies Quesadilla Literally all the items that we tried were delicious and like I said if it was possible, I'd go back to this place every month to have brunch.

Pretty good and affordable breakfast/brunch place in Canmore. I've eaten here several times and have quite enjoyed it. Until I hear of other nice breakfast spots in Canmore, I will continue to come here. They can get pretty packed so make sure to time your arrival right! Every time I've gone here the staff have always been so awesome. They have seating on both sides of the restaurant and a nice outdoor patio for the summer. I've had their crepes, eggs benny, breakfast plate, waffles and it's all been delicious! The only thing I wish they'd serve their salmon benny with is fresh dill. The breakfast potatoes are good and I like how they are crispy. They also serve lunch items which I've seen but never tried before. As it's in a hotel lot, parking can be a bit tricky to find. I've always been able to find parking but some days were a challenge. I can't wait to visit this place again!

Strawberry Cream Cheese French Toast

Our breakfast was very average, it hit the spot but was nothing spectacular. The menu was very large with a lot of great options. This place is definitely more expensive, especially if you want to add protein to a pancake-like dish or add real maple syrup. I found it odd that a shot glass of maple syrup was $2. I was also disappointed there was no espresso on the menu. I did appreciate that there were multiple gluten free options such as gluten free waffles. It was okay, but nothing amazing. Our server was fine, but didn't seem to like tourists.

Chocolate chip pancakes

We stayed at Chateau Canmore and that's where Chez Francois is at. Before we checked out, we went for late breakfast and it was a good decision. I had the Snoked Salmon eggs Benedict, my daughter had the chocolate chip pancakes with a side of maple bacon, and my husband got the Quebec combo. All were delish! I am not a fan of potatoes, but their side of fried potatoes were heavenly! Definitely recommend this place! Good food, great staff!

The breakfast food is amazing. I have the combo egg bene and sweet crepe. The food is delicious and the fresh fruit crepe is excellent.

You know when you are on the first day of your trip, and you go for breakfast and suddenly you all agree you need to switch things around so you can come back to this restaurant again? May I introduce Chez Francois! The first day I got the crepe/benny combo. Apple crepes were quite good. But the second day none of us were fooling around with anything but the Benedict with perfect medium-poached eggs and liquid gold Hollandaise. The sand-dollar style potato fries are a treat, as is the fresh fruit. There is a waiter here who reminds one that serving is truly an art. It's a pleasure to watch him interact with people. An even bigger pleasure to have him remember you when you return. There are two sizeable rooms off the lobby you enter (the restaurant is located in the Quality Inn), elevator access to washrooms and Covid protocols are observed.

Chez François is a lovely Quebecois restaurant in Canmore and it's a must to go if you ever find yourself over there. It's great for family brunches. It's always busy so go early. But to be honest, the waiting time is approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Their menu offers so many options for breakfast and drinks that it's kinda hard to choose one. The staff is fast and efficient. Love they're not in a rush and they take their time to answer any questions you have from the menu. We got our meals and drinks really quickly. I got the Canadian Back Bacon eggs benedict and a cappuccino. Both were great! The hollandaise sauce is so flavourful and the fries were great. Definitely coming back soon!

Today, I dropped by a treated myself to Duck Confit Eggs Benedict. It was a refreshing change and needless to say it tasted delicious with a nice subtle flavor to the duck. Could have used a little more hollandaise sauce but very good nonetheless. I was seated very quickly eventhough it was busy probably because I chose to be seated inside rather on the patio. It was a very nice sunny day so the patio was packed. Chet , my waiter was a delight to talk to and he was very attentive. The decor is always relaxing creating a very chilled atmosphere. I never feel rushed.

I'm a solo traveler and hiker. I like to stay in Canmore vs Banff...not just because this place is…read moremore affordable in general, but because of the people. You also get a wholesome feel of what local life is about. If this type of experience is what you're looking for, "The Graze" should be your #1 stop. I arrived at Graze before noon so I imagined it would be rather slow. Turns out this place was packed! (Literally every table was taken... woah!) I was greeted at the door by Logan and because it was just me. He asked for my preference first and then sat me at the bar. Loved that! It's one of the first places open early morning in Canmore that serves both drinks and a DAMN good breakfast! So, tbh if you are a group of 2+ and you want a good seat I'd suggest getting here before 10am. I suggest asking for Martha as a server. She's phenomenal. The service all around is 100%. Five stars without a doubt!!!

What a wonderful find. There was plenty of seating, the Olympics was playing on the TV and they…read moreserve DELECTABLE gluten free food that is celiac safe. I'm the only person in my family who cannot eat gluten & here I could safely taste their food. My husband and I both ordered fish and chips. The fish was crispy & hot and the fries were good too. My kid ordered poutine with brisket. The gravy was also gluten free. Everything was fantastic, great versions of these classic dishes. The service was great from start to finish. We were greeted and seated immediately upon arriving. When I mentioned how excited I was to see gluten free fish & chips, the server was proud to share that they have a dedicated frier for celiacs. When we were ready to go she had the plates cleared & a check instantly. It was a perfect lunch.

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.

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.
