This February while in Banff, we decided to try Farm & Fire, and it did not disappoint…read more I ordered the classic breakfast with a side of fruit. The plate featured two perfectly cooked over-easy eggs, sourdough toast with blackberry jam, crispy potatoes, and the best bacon I've ever tasted. The fruit bowl was just as fresh and vibrant, with oranges, Granny Smith apples, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all outstanding; an ideal way to start the day in the mountains.

Farm and fire looked like it was going to be great but it turned out to be just ok…read more We sat at the bar and the service we got there was good definitely no complaints there and the food was pretty good... we went there because we saw they use real potatoes with breaky but the thing is it's just getting silly expensive to have bacon and eggs with a coffee over $80 for an average nothing special meal for the 2 of us I think it's time to rethink food options when on the road

Came here on a Saturday evening and made a reservation on opentable. There was a long wait for an…read moreavailability so we're glad we did that where there was service. We ordered to share: Bison carpaccio: 8/10, the large pieces of black salt(?) was overwhelming the bison, but otherwise very unique and worth trying Burrata salad: 100/10, super refreshing and unique palate of thinly ribboned squash covered with tarragon vinaigrette and burrata. Smoked trout doughnut: 8/10, interesting combination of sweet (donut, lemon glaze) and savory (smoked trout, herbed Crème Fraîche, everything bagel seasoning, pickled shallot) Individually: Strip sirloin: I didn't have this one but 10/10 for work of art presentation. Huge piece of steak though. Roasted chicken: 9/10 myself and one other got the chicken. Tender and well seasoned with sweet and spicy harissa honey glaze and chili crisps. It looked like they gave half a whole chicken to her and the other half to me, huge portions. Probably could've been 3 meals. Peyto's ribs: 9/10 had to get it for the touch of maple paprika. Seared ling cod: 9/10 it's the only portion that remotely made sense for a single person and didn't end with leftovers. The dimly lit atmosphere at Brazen is perfect to unwind in after a long day of hiking and exploring. The portions are generous and flavor profile recommendations between appetizers, mains, and drinks well explored. Highly recommend making an advance reservation to try!

We got the mushroom risotto (so unique), the vegetarian bao bun, and the vegetarian lettuce wraps (make sure to ask for vegan so they can sub the non-vegan sauce). The only con was that the restaurant itself was small and can only take a few parties at a time. We got lucky and took the 6 remaining seats at the bar, but be prepared to wait if you're a bigger party. That said, the staff and bartender were very nice and service time was fairly normal. Would recommend!

Then, for the gumbo, you slave over the hot stove to make that perfect roux. It has to be deep caramel and nutty but not burned in taste. Very sad that the mixture between the three was not holy. I want to say the it was not cooked long enough. You can taste the celery, onion and paprika separately. I cooked Gumbo, Etoufee, and Jambalaya enough to know that the longer you cooked it, the flavors would deepen. It's even better on the 2nd day. The dish was lacking depth!

We ate dinner here after arriving in Banff…read more The restaurant is part of the Canoe Lodge hotel complex but they are open to non-residents. The restaurant has a welcome area next to a large bar (some people were eating here) and then two further dining rooms and an outdoor terrace area too. Although the restaurant was extremely busy, the staff were very good at accommodating us and other diners. We had the focaccia to start, followed by the green bean tempura (served with fries, salsa and ketchup) and tuna poke bowl. The focaccia was huge, but very light, and came with dipping oil. Both mains were very good - fresh ingredients and clearly freshly prepared. We accompany them with some alcohol free lager, and the waitress kept us topped up with water throughout the meal. (Service was generally very good.) My partner had the baked cheesecake for dessert, which also went down well. With tip, the meal came to just over CN$100, which we thought was pretty good for what we had. We would happily recommend.

The space has a lively, upbeat atmosphere that makes it a great spot to grab a drink and share a few bites. They offer a menu of elevated comfort foods along with curated cocktails, local beers and hand-selected wines. I ordered the Spicy Blood Orange Margarita, made with jalapeño-infused tequila, orange liqueur, blood orange purée, and lime. It had a great balance of citrusy sweetness with a noticeable jalapeño kick. For food, I ordered the Chicken Wings, tossed in Japanese steak sauce and served with herb citrus ranch. The wings had a nice savory glaze and paired really well with the cooling ranch. My friend ordered the West Coast Cobb, with candied salmon, cheese, egg, bacon, avocado, tomato, corn, cucumber, and herb citrus ranch. It was a substantial salad with plenty of toppings and a nice mix of sweet, savory, creamy, and fresh flavors. I also tried the Iceberg Wedge, which was a classic choice with cheese, herbs and a tomato vinaigrette and a nice complement to the chicken wings. The service was attentive and friendly through the dining experience. Overall, Suddenly Sally is a fun option for happy hour when you're looking for creative cocktails, shareable food, and a lively atmosphere.

Cinnamon roll and cronut they heated up. Cinnamon roll was gooddd, unique shape, but delish. Cronut was mid to me, choc ganache overpowered it all, some dulce de leche filling inside cronut. I like cronuts that are flaky but this was soggy as expected. Workers werent the nicest or friendliest. Decent coffee spot, have some baked goods or salty stuff too

The steak was truly the best steak I have ever had and it paired so nicely with the eggs. This is my husband's first time trying poutine and I think this really was a great first poutine for him. Now the vibes are very divey but I don't know what I expected from a bar by night with live music and dancing signs everywhere. I can definitely feel a little bit intimidating by the people who obviously enjoy a nice alcoholic beverage in the morning, but the server was amazing and made us feel super comfortable very quickly. My husband and I were a little nervous because we were obviously from out of the country but it was never a problem and everyone was incredibly kind.

We then shared a Waldorf salad, which was refreshing and nice. Then we both selected red wine varietals grown in Canada. I had a Cabernet/Merlot blend which was super great. Would've never guessed it was from Canada. Next, My wife enjoyed a Pinot Noir that was light and complimented our entrée perfectly. Our entrée was the fillet and prawns served over a garlic mashed potato. This is an absolutely extraordinary dish. We shared it and it was just enough for two people. It is a full meal for one person. The filet temperature preparation was perfect. The prawns were extraordinary, and the garlic mashed potato made you curl your toes! Then we closed the evening with the melted chocolate soufflé, which was divine. Here's the one thing that they missed and to me it's an important miss. They use an automated system for taking reservations. And it kept asking for my name to which I said "Chris" and the automated system kept asking me what's your name!? So it asked hey fourth time and in my frustration I got playful and I said "Big Daddy." And it happily received my name and took my reservation. And then asked if there was any special occasion and I said yes my wife and I are celebrating our anniversary. I get that it may not seem normal to say "Big Daddy party for two". So I'll kind of let that pass because neither front door or upstairs Host was willing to ask. But what I don't like that was missed was our anniversary wasn't acknowledged. I was a server for years, and every host gave the server some type of chit or note to let them know if there is a special occasion. We specifically selected a higher end restaurant for anniversary. So somewhere in there, even if you weren't brave enough to say "Big Daddy for two." Someone still should've checked if you were celebrating any special occasion to which we were. Our anniversary. Our server was fabulous. She was super kind helpful and shared about her experience being in Banff. She made us feel great. My overall experience, the Mapleleaf is a great restaurant. But I'm scoring you an A- because you missed our anniversary. and that's why we chose you. So if you're going to use AI, you can't miss special occasions. Chris & Trisha from Long Beach, CA
