More of a Mediterranean twist for dinner. I am not a fan of lamb chops but it was hands down the best meal that night. Bookmark this place because it is definitely one to try when at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise!

We came around 9am and were seated quickly after hearing that last call would be in 30 min. We ended up getting the wild boar orecchiette and game burger w/a side of salad. Both dishes were good and comforting for an easy but elevated meal. The pasta came in a good size portion and was well-balanced with veggies throughout. I really liked the game burger which was a mix of bison and beef and loved that I could get a large caesar salad on the side. Really satisfying meal and a great end to a day in Lake Louise.

The Caesar salad was lackluster with tired, warm lettuce and a sauce that tasted of mayo, and croutons that were an unnatural yellow color. Dessert was a peach cobbler where the strawberries and blackberries unfortunately dominated the flavor. The house-made raspberry-basil ice cream was a nice touch. Service from Alyssa was friendly and helpful and welcoming. So, hard to rate overall with a home run and then two swings and a miss. I've decided on 4 stars because the overall experience was good in a beautiful, rustic cabin setting.

I initially wasn't interested in waiting in a long line for ice cream. But later decided to check them out at the end of my trip to satisfy my curiosity. Plus it was a warm day and I had already finished all of my shopping. Cows is located in the heart of Downtown Banff and is known for their hand-made premium ice cream. Cows has a variety of flavors with fun creative names like the Gooey Mooey, Cownadien Maple and Wowie Cowie. The people in line were really excited to be experiencing this place. I also noticed Cows has a large gift shop area that sells cow-themed merchandise and apparel. There was a lot of cool stuff to check out in the store. I grabbed my coffee flavored Caramel Moocchiato ice cream and one of their snack items and spent time in the gift shop. Overall, Cows was a fun experience and I am glad a was able to squeeze this place in at the end of my trip.

I will say the views of Lake Louise from the restaurant are quite lovely. We were seated inside and it was cozy and comfortable. Customer service was excellent, our server, Joe was absolutely wonderful. Joe was very friendly and was able to help us out with our questions, deciding on entrees to order and he checked in occasionally during our lunch. The lunch menu has a fair amount of options for starters and entrees. I was curious about the pasta dish, but thought the cost was a bit high. I ordered the rotisserie chicken and caesar salad (which is made at your table) and it was good. I was not a fan of the seasoning of the chicken but the salad was great. My mom had ordered the fish and chips and was impressed with the portions and the texture and flavor. She enjoyed her entree along with a french onion soup. We also split a key lime tart, which was a good balance of sweet and tart. Overall, a great meal and dining experience. I'd recommend visiting Lakeview Lounge if you're interested in enjoying a delicious, memorable meal with scenic views.
