Hands down the best food in Canmore. Honestly, I don't know how this place isn't rated #1. I tried several of the other top-rated spots during my week-long stay, and every time I did, I wished I had just eaten here instead. Everything is executed incredibly well: flavorful food, nice plating, great ambiance, and good service. I had the poutine (the best I've had), the pulled pork burger, the steak, plus the tiramisu, cheesecake, and crème brûlée. Everything was spectacular. My only suggestion? Add dumplings to the menu, because I know you'd do them exceptionally well. Every time I was here, it felt like the place to be. Don't waste your time anywhere else. read more

To be honest, when we got out of the car and I saw that the restaurant was located inside a hotel, I didn't think it would be a great meal. Boy, was I sooo wrong! This was hands down, my favorite meal of my trip. The staff was welcoming off the bat. We had a large party but was seated relatively quick. We started off our meal with the Chef's Signature Mussels and Pulled Pork Poutine. I liked the gravy in the poutine. The mussels were bathed in a sauce. Do dip your bread in it and go wild! My son normally doesn't like seafood but he couldn't stop eating the mussels. They have weekly specials on their website. Definitely check it out before you make a visit over! We went on Thursday and it was pasta night specials for $20. We tried the Clam Linguine, Carbonara, and Linguini Bolognese. The Clam Linguine was the lightest of the pastas. There was a good amount of clams. The Carbonara was extremely rich and probably the least favorite of the three. I thoroughly enjoyed the Linguini Bolognese. The pasta was cooked al dente and the flavors were so deep and comforting. The Braised Alberta Pork Ribs in a Root Beer Glaze was tasty too. You can really taste the root beer flavor so if that's not your thing, you should skip this dish. My son kept raving about this meal for the rest of our trip! I can't wait to come back to see more of Canada and of course to have another delicious meal here. read more

Excellent meal! We had bahn mi, fish and chips and a small pizza, and all were great. Server was attentive without being bothersome. Nice atmosphere, clean and well lit with plenty of art on the walls. read more

I solidly judged this as I was walking into a hotel for a restaurant and that normally is a bad sign - but I was incorrect 1) Chicken sandwich - well made, great flavor 2) Poultney with bacon - the star of the meal! 3) kids meal - chicken - they loved it! 4) Salmon burger - a little dry read more

My first poutine! So good and so filling. The chicken sandwich and fries also were given two thumbs up. This place was retro cool with the bright colors against the dark interior. The waitress was friendly & efficient. It's in an older but amazing resort. Definitely recommend this place. read more

We began our meal with the hot honey spring rolls, which were excellent--crispy, flavorful, and a great start to the evening. For the main course, I ordered a half rack of BBQ ribs. Unfortunately, the ribs were dry. However, our server (Ronnie) responded quickly and professionally, immediately offering an alternative. I opted for the schnitzel, which was outstanding--perfectly cooked and generously portioned. While the initial dish was disappointing, the exceptional service and the quality of the replacement more than made up for it. A special thank you to our server for turning the experience into a very positive one. read more

A great dinner spot within walking distance from our hotel. I love how they have specials each day, so we came here on Thursday to try their pasta deal for $14.95 for a select pasta item. We got seated almost immediately upon arrival around 6:00 p.m. I ordered the clam linguine and my husband had the chicken alfredo. I also ordered the smoke Caesar salad for appetizer to share. I got to try one of their cocktails and my husband had a beer. We sat pretty close to the kitchen so we saw the workers working hard and figuring everything's out. The pasta was good, for that price point it's definitely worth it. The clam linguine reminded me of cioppino with the clam juice blended with tomatoes and other spices/veggies. Very good. My husband's chicken Alfredo tasted great. We were pleased with our meal and was full. The service was good, I saw that the staff was trying to keep up with hectic pace of a restaurant. From our observation, it seems like each worker was trying to do a bit of everything. Tons of food were left sitting under the heat lamp. I think it would make sense if each worker gets a section of the restaurant, because to us it seems like everybody was doing a bit of everything. Appreciate everybody's hard work and great service. read more

O.M.G. We had just finished a multihour tour of Banff Lake , a bunch of adults and a 2-year-old, and knew we couldn't make it back to Calgary without feeding the child. The first two places we tried were all booked up, and we stumbled upon this place. What a wonderful surprise!!! 6 adults Cleaned. Our. Plates. Everything from the Black Forest pizza to the seafood pasta to the Featherstone Sauvignon Blanc (*****) was FABULOUS. If you're in the nabe, GO HERE!! read more

Sat at,the bar as the restaurant was full with reservations, so keep that in mind when visiting. We sat at the bar and ordered the build your own pizza with 4 items, a medium With pepperoni, Italian sausage, smoked bacon bits and extra cheese. Fantastic! Crispy thin crust with unique flavor, pizza toppings were plentiful and great flavor. We could have eaten it all. But ordered gluten free chocolate torte cake and took them back to our room for later. We had the chocolate torte cake , very moist flavorful cake and plenty for 2 when sharing after a big meal. We had coffee tonight, our waitress and the manager kept our water and coffee cups full. This resturant is epic. great food, excellent service and reasonable prices$$-$$$ depending on what you buy. Will definitely be back Ira/Lisa Allen Blue Ridge,Texas read more

We walked here as we were unsure where we could park. It is in the hotel lobby. Not a ton of seating but was only 50% full on a Friday night. Waitress was kind and refilled our waters during the meal. Boyfriend and I got the Pork Schnitzel. Quite pricey but it fed us both. 2 pieces of schnitzel so easy to share. Surprised to see a large variety of cooked vegetables and all were really tasty. Sauce was good too. 9/10 not the Best I have ever had but close. Friend got the Chicken Alfredo and loved it. Friend got the Hot Chicken sandwich and said it was good and spicy. She also got the chips with her burger and those were really cool! Unique cut and texture. Boyfriend and I also tried the Choclate Almond Torte - it was meh. Wasn't too sweet but was Not rich, super decadent, chocolatey liked I hoped. Tasted like a normal chocolate cake. Would not get again. Friends shared the Tiramisu and said it was just okay as well. Overall one of the better meals I have had in the area. Will be back to try the breakfast menu! read more

A great meal a quick service. We stopped by this place after a 13km hike and we really enjoyed it. The pasta was good (though a little spicy) and the pulled pork was amazing. The restaurant itself was very clean and pretty. Our server was great as well and made the overall experience that much better. Definitely check this one out! read more

This was an amazing meal! We were a party of nine, having a trip to Canmore from Hawaii and Oregon. The server was from Ukraine and was very sweet. Everything was great! My husband was very picky about his dirty martini, the server sent it back maybe twice until they got it just perfect! The food was delicious, and the prices weren't too high (plus, the exchange rate...in our favor). A great memory, for the books! read more

Food was amazing and Service exceptional! My wife had Eggs Benedict bowl with Avocado, Cheese Curds, Arugula, etc. She said it was the best breakfast she ever had. I got a more traditional breakfast and it was great. Little things like heated mugs brought and then pouring the coffee in at our table made it special. read more

We are a group of eight California residents on a Caravan tour of the Canadian Rockies. We had to choose a restaurant for dinner and found your establishment and we are so glad we did! Great ambiance,beautiful presentation and delicious flavors. We highly recommend the braised short ribs, root beer BBQ ribs, Asian salad and burgers. The service was provided by friendly, efficient staff. If we resided in or near Canmore, we would definitely be regular customers. The Grande Kitchen, thank you for a memorable dining experience! Happy California diners read more

Great service at this restaurant located inside the Grande Rockies Resort. It was burger night when we visited so three of us ordered the burgers -- one vegetarian and two hot chicken. My husband's hot chicken patty was very small -- almost half the size of son's but they both said it was delicious. Son subbed poutine for his chips and enjoyed. The homemade chips were cooked perfectly. The description of the vegetarian burger sounded very flavorful but it was crispy, fried and with not much flavor. I did appreciate that they had gluten free buns. My other two kids ordered pizzas. My daughter loved her Black Forest pizza and dubbed it the "fanciest" pizza she had ever had. Son enjoyed his with pepperoni and chicken. The water cups were very small and our waiter had to refill them frequently. Overall good food for reasonable prices and good service. Would recommend for a dinner out if in Canmore. read more

Went there two nights in a row because it was so good. The first night we got the Funghi pasta which was delicious, and the salmon Caesar salad, also delicious, and the spicy Thai wings which were of course delicious. Our server was incredibly friendly and incredibly understanding when we had to ask funny questions because of diet restrictions. The second night we had a different server, but he was still excellent and very kind. We had the Caesar salad again, then got the root beer ribs which were super flavorful, and the Asian salad which was great, and the spicy Thai wings again because we loved them so much. Absolutely recommend this place to anyone!!! read more

We visited this restaurant as our stay was close here. It was happened to be my husband's birthday and we made amazing memory. Our server Mara was very kind and lovely person. Our parents in law amused her kindness and brightness. Food was amazing, too. Particularly, New york steak and Seafood past were amazing. If you are up to desert, you should try Tiramisu cake, that's just speechless. Overall we are very happy and glad we spent special dinner here. read more

Excellent, friendly service. Sizable portions. Decent food but definitely on the pricy side. I ordered lasagna and enjoyed it. It was somewhat spicy though. My partner ordered pork schnitzel and enjoyed it. read more

Waited for 30 minutes. Drink order never taken. No food order was taken. Talked to the wait staff repeatedly inquiring what was going on. Other tables served before us. Told them that we were going to leave soon and then they saw aid they had a large drink order it take from another table. We asked to speak to a Manager, but there wasn't one. We went back to our condo and made soup. read more

My friend and I came here on a Saturday night. The restaurant was not busy and we were able to get a table right away. Gerard was our server and he was great! He helped me pick out a wine that I would like and allowed me to sample it first. My friend does not do dairy and he was interested in one of the pasta dishes. When he asked about it, we were told that the chef could customize the dish for him to remove the dairy! I ended up ordering the spicy meatball pasta. The food was great and the pasta definitely had a spicy kick to it. read more

Crab cakes were good, so was the funghi tagliatelle. They did a nice job with the schnitzel. Chocolate almond torte was DELICIOUS and gets them 5 stars. French crepe wasn't good though, turns out they wrap it around a whole banana. Its pretty much all banana and not enough crepe. Ends up not being sweet enough. read more

We stopped in for dinner after a long day hiking and were blown away by how good the food was at Grande. It's unassuming as part of a hotel, but don't judge its lack of street presence! We're always leery of restaurants that have too much "fusion", i.e, Asian, Italian, Indian, but this is the first place that does them all justice. I had the Asian salad with chicken and my husband had the pasta with meatballs. Both were really excellent! The Asian salad greens were so fresh that I didn't spot one brown spot and it was even topped with micro greens. The dressing was excellent. My husband's meatballs were very flavorful and had that delicious crust on them that the best chefs perfect. The sauce was so good and the pasta was al dente - perfect. Bounton, our waiter, was attentive and conversational. He matched my husband's sense of humor. Please give them a try! read more

The food was delicious here. It was a bit expensive for the quantity and portion size. We were a hit disappointed, our whole table ordered the soup of the day, only to find out ten minutes later they were out. The service was very slow. Small restaurant but it was nice. read more

!!HIDDEN GEM ALERT!! Talking about one of Canmore, Alberta's hidden gems. Tucked away underneath a hotel lies The Grande Kitchen and Bar a French, Italian, Asian Fusion restaurant. If you didn't search great restaurants nearby or if you didn't stay in the same hotel you would never know that this restaurant is ever there. We called to make a reservation and thankfully we did as it was extremely busy. It was our first night in Alberta and let me tell you The Grande Kitchen and Bar made a great first impression. The server was probably one of the nicest servers I have ever had in any restaurant. Very kind and helpful and very interested that we were tourists in her town. She gave us lots of tips as to what to see in the area. The restaurant was pretty upscale but not too fancy and formal. Everything on the menu looked great. We started off with a very interesting appetizer. Thai stuffed chicken wings. They were quite interesting but truly amazing. They were stuffed chicken wings stuffed with pork, rice, carrot, mushroom and was served with a sweet chili peanut dip. These were incredible. Nothing like I have ever had before. Bursting with flavor in every bite. For my entree I had the Spicy Meatball Pasta but the meat balls were made from wild boar meat. Once again this made my taste buds go crazy. I can go on and on about the Grande Kitchen and Bar but I will be here for ever so I will leave you with this. If you had to sum up in one word to describe this place I would use the word that the great Guy Fieri leaves us "FLAVOURTOWN" When in Canmore make this your first choice. read more

Attached to the Grand Rockies Resort, I wasn't too sure about this place. I was never more wrong. There were 10 in our party and the dishes we ordered ranged from salads to pasta to ribs. Each dish was delicious and seasoned beautifully. The portions were generous without feeling ridiculous. I ordered the short ribs. They were slightly sweet with a good kick and fall off the bone tender. I asked for the chef veggies to be subbed with their side salad and they kindly obliged. The salad was fresh and the dressing was tart which helped to balance the rich rib meat. Two in our party ordered the pulled pork sandwich and hardly talked the entire meal because they were so engrossed with their sandwich. They could not stop raving about it after the meal. The restaurant is small and nicely furnished. Believe the great reviews you read. It really is that good! read more

We visited this restaurant twice during our stay, once for dinner and once for breakfast. I wasn't thrilled with the pulled pork sandwich i ordered for dinner, but my husband loved his bacon burger. We both loved the tiramisu, though. And breakfast was delicious, we ordered the monte cristo and a poached egg bowl. Both times our service was excellent. Our waiter kept our water glasses filled and even gave us an excellent recommendation for sights to see during our visit to the local area parks. If you're staying in the Grande Rockies Resort this is a convenient choice for any meal. read more

Absolute gem of a place. I had given up hope for great meals in these tourist towns and I'm happy to have found this restaurant.

My boyfriend and I are staying within walking distance from this restaurant while in Canmore. We decided to walk over and try it since we wouldn't have to worry about driving/parking and because they had a lot of positive reviews. The restaurant was not busy and we were sat immediately. The menu is fairly large with dishes ranging from pasta, burgers, salads, appetizers, etc. My boyfriend decided to order the chicken alfredo and I ordered the smoked Caesar salad with chicken. Both dishes were so underwhelming. The caesar was a head of romaine with a few slides of grilled chicken and some dressing on it, and I think I saw a few croutons in there as well. The chicken alfredo was dry and not impressive for the price. At one point my boyfriend stated "i could make myself a better chicken alfredo for $5". The service was nothing great either. Our waiter had our table and another couple, yet we still had to flag him down to ask for our check, and to ask for a pen to sign the receipt. The only reason we gave this place 2 stars is because of convenience if you're staying in the area. Service was not great, and the food was not worth the price. There are a lot of positive reviews about this place, so I'm hoping our experience was just a fluke. If you're visiting Canmore, I would suggest going elsewhere. We have had great experiences at other restaurants in the area. read more
