Trout, soup, pasta, burgert
Jill N.

Phenomenal!!!! The food was so good. The service was exceptional. The Gnocchi was to die for. Trout amazing. Calamari melted in your mouth. One of my fav restaurants in Canmore! I recommend you do family style so you can sample more :)

Lemon tartelette with raspberry-lime sorbetto
Tracey J.

Morel mushroom gnocchi are excellent. Save bread for the sauce! Also enjoyed the stuffed Yorkshire pudding and the crab & seafood cakes. All dessert made in house. Yum! Attentive service. Small quiet bistro in an easily accessible location.

Chicken salad
Angie K.

It was late and we were hungry, but not starving as we had a late lunch. We ordered the bread to start, French onion soup, and salads for our mains. We also ordered the flight of red which I thought was great for the price and you got to try the chef selection of 3 different reds. Our sever was the only one working, but she was still attentive to all of us that were there (I think there were 3 large parties and us). I thought the French onion soup could have had a little bit more taste, but maybe I just like things a little more on the saltier side... the salad hit the spot, and who doesn't like baguettes with butter? Beautiful ambiance and a nice place for a date or friends to hang out. There were a couple of things I would have loved to try, maybe I will have to go back an empty stomach...

Alberta Beef Burger with added gruyere cheese and kennebec fries...delicious burger. Homemade patty. Oh sooo GOOD!!
Melanie E.

This little gem was recommended by our massage therapist Mackenzie from One Wellness. It surpassed our expectations. Reggie was our server and he was fantastic. His recommendations were spot on. The French Onion Soup was one of the best I've ever had super rich and cheesy. The Alberta Beef Burger with the added gruyere cheese and kennebec fries was just amazing. This is a definite must and we will definitely be back. Thank you Reggie and Sage Bistro for the awesome experience.

Schnitzel
Elaine P.

Was Here with a group of colleagues for a special function. Loved this setting from the top floor - It felt like a log cabin, with the Mountain View all around us. The food itself is good, quality for a group setting. I ordered the schnitzel which was really good and fresh. I did not care for the dessert. The staff were friendly and attentive.

It was dark but the food here looks about as bland as it tasted.
Danielle P.

This was a very lacklustre meal. I like the restaurant with its log cabin construction and cozy tables. The layout is neat and the view of the mountains is pretty. They have a pretty good wine selection as well. I had the "confit Cornish hen with red rice pilaf , savory sage-bourbon pan gravy, and market vegetables" and my dining companion had the pork chop. They warn you the pork chop will take about 20 minutes which is fine if you're there for a leisurely dinner which we were. But when it made its long awaited entrance it was tough and overlooked. I asked the server for a recommendation when I couldn't decide between the macaroni and cheese or the Cornish hen. She told me it depended whether I wanted pasta or Cornish hen. Thanks I guess? Not really what I expect from fine dining. My Cornish hen was ok. Not horrible. It was mostly bland. By the end of our mediocre meals we had enough and didn't go for dessert.

We had those wonderful Lobster fritters and an awesome antipasto plater for two with salmon, duck, different cheeses and spreads. But the best of all was a s'mores chocolate tart. Very friendly and quick service. Wednesday is wine night, you get every bottle half prize! Highly recommend this place for a laid back evening!

French onion soup
Racdor F.

Came here for our last dinner in Canmore on the recommendation of our hotel. The service was excellent but the food was just okay. We ordered the French onion soup and green salad to start and they were good, not spectacular but definitely not bad. We then had the pork belly and the lamb shank for our main course. The pork belly was good, but the vegetables had a candied fruit added, that overwhelmed the veggies with sweetness. The lamb shank was very tender and the veggies were cooked to perfection. The only complaint was the gravy which was a bit 'brown' tasting (if that makes any sense). We'd try it again but probably order different dishes from the menu.

Summer risotto with wild boar and fennel sausage.

Änkôr - Amuse Bouche - Truffle with quail egg and mushroom

After visiting this spot, my boyfriend and I had a post-review discussion in the car and without…read morehesitation, we both agreed that this is one of the best restaurants that we've ever been to. This was our last restaurant that we had the pleasure of visiting in Canmore, and we definitely ended up saving the best for last. I chose this restaurant as the spot to celebrate my boyfriend's 30th birthday because I wanted it to be special and it definitely delivered! First off, the service at this spot is impeccable. They truly hire professional, genuine, skilled, and crafty people here who really care about food and the experience. It was very telling and we wanted to highlight that observation. Secondly, the cocktails. During our trip, we were lucky to have Josh as our bartender and not only did he truly know the ins and outs of the liquor and the ingredients that he used, you can tell that he has really perfected the craft at creating a beautifully presented cocktail, and this was already noticed by the way he cuts an orange. The cocktails here were basically like an art piece and had some of the most creative presentations I've ever seen. My cantaloupe island cocktail even had an herb popsicle in it and the after noon cocktail had mint sorbet incorporated into the presentation too, which was none like I've had before. Food-wise, they start you with a complimentary palette cleanser, which was a mini donut topped with fennel and caviar, which was exquisite and enhanced the experience. We then chose the foie gras, root salad, and mackerel as our smaller dishes and the duck and cod as our main course dishes. I swear to you.. each dish that we tried, we looked at each other in awe because we were baffled that something could taste that wonderful and look so aesthetically pleasing at the same time. Our favorite was the cod main course, which happened to be the newest menu item at the time. We also got the baked alaska for dessert since we wanted to complete the entire course, and that was beautifully presented and flavorful as well. The main chef/owner, Danny Beaulieu, and his team absolutely killed everything on this menu, and we were even able to meet with the owner and to speak with him during our visit here. It was a truly lovely experience and we are big time rooting for the restaurant's success. We are really thankful that we were able to experience Ankor and appreciate the love, care, and effort put into this spot. We will definitely see you again and hope to be back soon! :)

We were on our honeymoon and ended up dining at Juniper three separate times during our trip. That alone should say something. The food quality, consistency, and service were exceptional every single visit. Our server, Hera, delivered service that genuinely surpassed what we've experienced at multiple Michelin-starred restaurants. Attentive without hovering, warm, knowledgeable, and effortlessly professional, she made each meal feel special and memorable. On a honeymoon, that level of care matters, and she nailed it. The food deserves its own spotlight. The Eggs Benedict is the best we've ever had. Perfectly executed, balanced, rich without being heavy, and clearly made with intention. The Churro French Toast is unforgettable: indulgent, crisp, soft, and expertly seasoned. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted, not just "good for a hotel restaurant," but genuinely outstanding by any standard. We regularly dine at Michelin-recognized restaurants, and while Juniper Bistro is not Michelin-listed, the food quality here was better than many Michelin meals we've had. That's not hyperbole, it's an honest comparison.

Loved the lentils (which shocked me because I don't really care for lentils) and the amuse bouche could've been my meal. It was some beet gazpacho that tasted like heaven. I also don't like gazpacho so... The tenderloin was fantastic. The king crab was so inventive and all were beautifully presented. I'm not a fish person so I can't speak to the fish course, but my mom ate hers and mine so that seems telling. Dessert was A+. Every course was delicious and Matt was knowledgeable and enjoyable. My mom was a little surprised when she ordered a glass of wine that it was $36 when the bill came (there weren't prices for by the glass that they showed us), but that was the only hiccup.

Robert was a knowledgeable sommelier and it was entertaining listening to him talk about wines, even if we opted for mocktails/cocktails to accompany this dinner. The taste: scrumptious, delectable, delicate, thoughtfully edited dishes. In addition to the 6 courses, we had an amuse bouche, a palate cleanser, and I think they surprised us with an extra dessert or two. It was decadent. Delicious - favorites were the sprouted lentil, the tenderloin, and the lobster emulsion and brioche. Yum. My face: very reasonably priced, so a big smile - and maybe a yawn, as it was a more than 3 hour dinner experience. Tasting menu for two came out to something like $300. Gotta love the exchange rate.

The other courses, including the fish and bison with mushrooms, did not have dairy. Sadly, while the food was aesthetic, I have had much better dairy-free food in both Canada and the States. The bison was the only dish that tasted tender and savory to me. The fish did not taste as fresh to me, and the vegan bread was quite inedible, shaped like a rounded brick and tasting like one too. When I asked if there were any other dairy-free bread options, they said no. I hoped the dairy-free dessert would be something unique, but it was another vegan bread brick with jam and a dairy-free ice cream that tasted like freezer ice and sadness. My boyfriend also found his dessert bland. The waiter said there were no other dairy-free dessert options and recommended a drink, which was solid. The two stars are for the cozy, romantic vibes, the lovely Canadian Rockies view, the tender bison, the good drink, and the kind servers. All in all, I sadly would not come back, as only one course and a drink we liked for the price of the prefix was not worth it, especially for our anniversary.
