Juniper Bistro is, without question, one of the best dining experiences we had in Banff and…read morefrankly, one of the best breakfasts we've had anywhere. 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.

I had a dairy lactose intolerant situation and he was very helpful. We ordered the duck wings as our appetizer, and this blew my wife's mind because she never was into duck, but this dish changed the game for her. Very well prepared and it was super crispy and the presentation was everything. It had a chili Asian crisp taste to it. Our next dish was the vegetable Wellington! Surprisingly, this was really good for something that was vegan. Not that I'm a vegan person, but I just want to try something that was non-dairy. It paired really well with the sauce. The squash and mushroom hit it off. We also ordered some white prawns, and that was really fresh as well! And the most important thing was the view! Try to get an opportunity to sit next to the window because you have an awesome view of the mountains. What better way to enjoy lunch or dinner with the view.

The host mentioned it could be hard to get a table in the evening, but we decided to try our luck. Even though the place was almost full, we didn't have to wait at all. The staff was incredibly friendly and walked us through all the specials. We ordered the Watermelon Sugar High and the Green Tea Gin and Tonic--both were excellent. For food, we tried the ramen, which was a bit underwhelming, and the wild mushroom ravioli, which was much better. Overall, I'd recommend this place for the wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options and the warm, accommodating service, though the food itself was more on the average side.

Admittedly, I'm not much of a drinker but I'll have some once in a while and Bear Street seems to have a pretty good selection. I tried a Vietnamese Coffee Stout which I enjoyed. I'm definitely more of an eater than I am a drinker and the eats at Bear Street Tavern are excellent. My party got 2 pizzas and a salad and we enjoyed it all. To start we got the Tavern Bowl. It's a bunch of different vegetables with a Tahini Miso Dressing and kimchi on top. All the different textures and flavors worked really well together and the salad served as a nice break between bites of pizza. The Wheeler Hut pizza has mushrooms, ricotta, truffle oil, pesto, and mozzarella. If you're a fan of truffle flavor you'll enjoy this pizza. As soon as it was brought out I could already smell the truffle. The Mediterranean has olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, red onions, chili flakes, spinach, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze. A little busier than the Wheeler Hut, but it was equally delicious. I'm not sure which pizza I liked more. Both pizzas had a fantastic crust with some char. Substantial enough to stand up to the toppings but still a little doughy for a nice chew. The char gives a nice crunch as well. Service is quick and friendly and the prices are fair, especially in a tourist area. I definitely recommend Bear Street Tavern.

The was a toaster with a bread bar, some sliced meats, sliced fresh fruits, yogurts, cheeses, a cereal bar, a juice selection, and a smoothie. The dinner was lovely. I enjoyed all of the fresh vegetable options. The Caprese salad, balsamic basil vinaigrette were fabulous. The chicken and a vegetarian pasta dish were beautifully displayed.

Our waitress…read morecouldn't be bothered to greet us, or give us coffee, or water...it was so bizarre I had to ask her if she was actually our waitress. She just kept making a bee line to other tables over and over again to refill their cups and then seemed to avert her eyes as she passed ours. I finally asked her and she said she was our waitress but she too busy to serve us...at all. Seriously? All we needed was coffee and you couldn't handle it? Array of food for breakfast buffet was abundant. Lots of stuff to choose from. It was annoying to arrive at 7 when they were supposed to open and see it was SWARMED with two tour groups. Why make actual hotel guests wait to eat when you let large outside groups in early? We wouldn't go back. I'd rather walk to whitebark cafe where the coffee was great and the service was warm.

Once inside though, it's clearly off the map for tourists. When we dropped in for dinner at 7pm on a Thursday, it was well populated with locals, mostly old timers and probably veterans. They have a small but comprehensive menu. Their stars are the burgers and the donair. I'm posting the menu here because I couldn't find much internet presence for the restaurant (thus the lack of tourists). I had the donair, which had the traditional Canadian sweet sauce on it. Being American, I've never had a gyro or doner kebab like that, but it was delicious. Wife had a chicken pot pie, which she said was good. We split a small poutine for starters and it was fresh and very good. The chicken pot pie came with a sort of Greek salad with a sweetish Italian vinaigrette. Wife really liked it. Mine came with a surprise - a huge mound of french fries. Shouldn't have done the poutine too! Everything was delicious, the service was prompt and super friendly, and the restaurant was comfortable. Prices were fair for being a tourist town and the large portions. Worth consideration by more tourists!

Great food at a fair price and the best Legion food in Canada. And Logans a good friendly guy.read more
