Unexpectedly delicious! Did not expect to be blown away by food in Jasper. Service was extraordinary and the food was supper delicious. This is where I will be eating every time I'm in Jasper. Small dining room and bar but if you have to wait, it is worth it. read more

I think memorable is an understatement for this delightful hidden gem in downtown Jasper. It is recommended to have a reservation, but we did not. We waited about 35 minutes and got seated at the bar. Service is warm friendly with great advice. The cocktail and cocktail game here is so strong and delicious! We started with the flatbread, which was completely devoured and the raven salad, which had complex textures and flavors. The bartender says she has it every day and I can see why... Incredible! I had the savory gratin vegetarian entrée, and my husband had the bison short ribs. Both of our dishes were incredibly flavorful! The meat just fell off the ribs, and both of our plates were completely cleared! Really don't love a wait but so glad we did for this incredibly memorable dining experience... We might come back tomorrow lol TBC! read more

Loved our experience at The Raven. We made a reservation, which was critical - we heard people trying to walk in and told that it would be several hours before they could be sat. The truffle pasta was definitely a highlight. We also got an order of the schnitzel, which was delicious as well. The portion sizes are very generous; two mains with no appetizers was more than enough for the two of us. Big fan! read more

After a long morning of bus touring, we decided that we needed a light lunch. It was past the noon rush, so the place was mostly empty. We grabbed a table for 5 near the front windows, which gave us plenty of natural light. Our server got to us right away, with waters and menus. The lunch menu had lots of variety, with Bison, Tuna Poke, Burgers, and salads. We settled on the Raven Salad which had a nice combination of greens, seeds and chickpeas. It was a good size portion that they were able to split for us. Had a terrific discussion with the resident/server who gave us a personal account of last years fire and the resulting damage. Lots of courageous people who are committed to the town, and appreciate all the tourist who are still coming to this area. Definitely a place that we would return to. read more

The Raven is not only one of our favourite restaurants in Jasper, it's one of our favourite restaurants ANYWHERE. The menu is fantastic- the cocktails are unreal... the service is top notch. somehow we have lucked out and gotten "our table" on each visit, adding to the ambience. we love it here and will be back again and again. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Raven Bistro, and it was truly exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a unique charm that set the tone for a memorable evening. A unique cocktail menu was too inviting. I'm huge fan of Negronis so when I saw "Spicy Negroni" it was must try. It was very nice and a great twist to a Negroni, I must admit I'm a purist and will go back to my traditional Negronis in the future. The Mussels were steamed in white wine, cream, shallots, mushrooms and fresh herbs and served warm pita. They were fresh and flavorful, perfectly seasoned and served in a rich broth that begged to be soaked up with pita bread. Entree selected as the Lemon Sesame Schnitzel, it was a pork loin breaded with lemon zest, sesame seeds and ground crispy rice then fried. This was served with potato salad made with new potato chunks mixed with chorizo and green onion aioli, this was atop some arugula (could have left off the arugula). Black sesame seeds were a great ingredient to the breading giving in unique flavor. The schnitzel was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, every bite was a delight! Service was attentive and friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend The Raven for anyone looking for top-notch food and a cozy, welcoming vibe. read more

Quaint restaurant in Jasper Alberta. Definitely make a reservation a few days in advance if you want to dine here. It's quite popular and when we walked up for our 6pm rez.... We overheard the host say the next available seating for the evening was 8:45pm. So, don't expect to be a walk in at "dinner time". We started with the red pepper dip which was sweet, savory and had a little kick. It's served with naan or tortilla chips or half and half. I prefer the naan, myself. For dinner I had the seafood hot pot which is similar to a cioppino but with more "umph" in the broth. I was cold and this warmed me up nicely while satisfying my need for protein and seafood! Lots of chunks of fish, some mussels and shrimp. Served with rice. I recommend getting a side of bread to dip into the sauce/broth. The husband had the bison short ribs which were very meaty and tender...fall of the bone. I'd recommend either depending on what you felt like eating. All were delicious! They also have a nice cocktail and wine list so you should be able to find a great pairing! Service was great. Our server was kind and attentive. read more

This amazing restaurant, just right behind Jasper's visitor center, should be a must for all out-of-towner visitors of this community. They offer a well-curated menu that offers enough variety and certainly not overwhelming. I chose the bison ribs for an early dinner and it's definitely 10 out of 10! The ribs aren't just so well-prepared and presented, but the flavors came through and through each bone, as well. It paired very well with the mash and veggies that soaked all the juices and sauce from the ribs. Capped the evening with their lemon cheesecake to-go, which rounded up this meal pretty good. It's always recommended to make a reservation for this restaurant but I didn't run into any issues as a walk-in. The service was amazing, my server was really nice and accommodating. Although there's nothing extra special I noticed, the fact that I didn't have to wait for a table is enough. read more

We had a lovely dinner here. I had a seafood mixture over saffron rice and my husband had bison short ribs over pappardelle. We finished this delicious meal with dulce de leche flan topped with mango. The service was excellent, seating comfortable, and it had a nice vibe. read more

My husband and I are vegan and the options here are phenomenal! Despite being from southern California, it took travelling to Jasper, AB to have our first vegan meal made with phyllo pastry. It was outstanding. It inspired me to make something similar at home. Our server was knowledgeable about vegan food and was very welcoming and friendly. The ambiance was lovely - cozy and quiet. The wine was very nice and there was even a vegan dessert option. A huge win and a hidden gem in Jasper. I would give 10 stars if I could. read more

Food was a nice interesting mix of flavors with the Mediterranean flair. Dishes were all notably delicious. We had the Elk tagliatelle the salmon and the bison "old fashion" short ribs. Appetizer was flatbread and artichoke puffs. Service was great and attentive overall. The atmosphere is intimate since the number of tables is so small. Definitely worth reserving a table if you can. read more

Place was busy. I had root vegetable gratin which was good, but consisted mostly of a pile of layered thinly sliced root veggies, not surrounded by bechamel as expected. My husband had salmon which came with a salad--both he described as excellent. Server was friendly and efficient. Pleasant, if not outstanding, experience. read more

The service was really bad , she was an older woman, I did not ask her name. It was raining and till we asked she did not move us , finally when we did the rain was on our table so we used our napkins to wipe the table. We had to ask for napkins and cutlery again.It wasn't about the rain , it was the service that wasn't kind. The food was ok too. Not going back here. read more

Everything about this place screams perfection. The uniquely designed raven decor, the spotlessly clean restaurant and bathroom, the extremely hospitable staff, and the masterful Mediterranean fusion dishes this place screams quality and perfection. We made reservations after seeing how popular they were and lucky we did because everyone in front of when we arrived was turned away. Their drink menu is amazing which has an amazing selection of quality wines. I went with their rose from chile. For dinner I had the pulled elk pasta. It was absolutely delicious. The pasta was cooked perfect, the spinach and tomatoes were a great touch and paired well with the cheese. Was the perfect quantity of meat to pasta. Overall, this place was everything they said it was. If you're in the area and you want to have a great evening with a great meal then make sure to make a reservation. read more

For a party of two we were seated immediately. We were here just for starters and desserts. Ordered two vegetarian starters, falafel and cauliflower croquettes. Falafel was a little under cooked and croquettes were average. For dessert we had some kind of raspberry chocolate creme brûlée and this was AMAZING. Ambiance was nice and even though the place was quite crowded, the service was quite fast. read more

Street parking available if you can find some. Place was 10% full Friday at 11:30AM. Waitress was good. Place feels nice, a little fancier. Schnitzel was best I've had in a Long time. 10/10. Rubarb chutney was a lovely addition. Charred lemon was also a cool bonus. Vegetable black bean soup was tomato based so not my thing but boyfriend loved it. Boyfriend got the chicken schwarma. Loved it. So much on this plate, so many good flavors. Naan was soft, chicken was moist and flavorful. 9/10. Overall 100% would come back. Next time - chickpea burger looked sounds amazing. read more

We decided on The Raven for a fancier option for dinner. The Raven definitely has an elevated, upscale feel. Great spot for a date night. I was able to get a reservation earlier in the day for the evening ahead. I highly recommend a reservation as it filled up quickly. I thought the service was excellent. Our server was super friendly and chatted with us a bit knowing we were visitors/ from out of town. I ordered the saffron seafood pot. It was excellent! Extremely flavorful and all the variety of seafood tasted fresh. Dessert is also a must. The crème brûlée was unlike any I'd ever had. Great experience at The Raven. Definitely would return next time I make it back to Jasper! read more

Can't rave enough about The Raven Bistro! It may be tucked away in the small, charming town of Jasper, but this little restaurant packs a powerful punch! While visiting Banff and Jasper National Parks several weeks ago (June 2023), my hubby & I stayed 2 nights in Jasper and ended up ordering take out here the first night, then eating in their outdoor patio the 2nd night because we loved it so much! The food here is as creative as it is delicious! What attracted us even more were their fantastic plant-based/vegan options. Take-out the first night we ordered: * La Pastille - innovative & flavorful combo of ingredients wrapped in phyllo pastry and baked (vegan) * Cauliflower Croquettes - crispy cauliflower & quinoa cakes (vegan & GF) Dining at their outdoor patio the 2nd night (and for my husband's B-day): * Zusketti Verde - zucchini spaghettoni simmered in a pumpkin seed pesto (vegan & GF) * Halloumi Buddha Bowl (vegan style without the Halloumi cheese) - quinoa, roasted sweet potato, greens, and more (also GF) The cocktails here are also great, and their Maple Old Fashioned was such a great take on an Old Fashioned with that touch of Canadian maple syrup! Friendly, warm and attentive service (even over the phone when we called to order take-out the first night). We just wish a place like this existed near us in the Bay Area! We'll definitely be recommending this restaurant to everyone we know who plans a trip to Banff/Jasper and return the next time we're in town too! read more

We were excited to try The Raven's Bistro after hearing great reviews from our Airbnb host and previous guests who raved about this restaurant. We wanted to have a nicer dinner while exploring Jasper National Park and made a reservation a couple of days in advance. It was definitely quite busy on a Saturday night so we were glad we made a res. To start we shared the bison and bacon flatbread. The flavors were great and I loved the goat cheese but it came out a bit cold and the flatbread was too soft and doughy for my liking. For entrees we got the three pharaohs (beef tenderloin, shawarma chicken, and braised elk brisket) and saffron seafood pot. The three pharaohs was good and we loved trying the different meats, the chicken was surprisingly super tender and flavorful. The braised elk was a bit tough though and we didn't end up eating all of it. The seafood pot was good with strong tomato flavor but the seafood in the broth didn't seem very fresh and I wish the broth had more seafood flavor similar to a cioppino. It had more of a tomato soup consistency. Overall the experience was great and I would recommend this spot in downtown Jasper but it didn't quite live up to the hype. read more

The restaurant's interior is very spacious and comfortable, with large seating and great natural lighting. The waitstaff warmly greeted us, but there was quite a long wait between ordering and the dishes being served. I ordered the CHICKEN SHAWARMA PLATTER, and it felt just right for sharing among a group of friends because it came with plenty of grilled naan bread. My friend ordered the OLD FASHIONED BISON SHORT RIBS, and the meat was incredibly tender, with a well-seasoned sauce that was very flavorful. Although it was a bit pricey, the dining experience was truly enjoyable and satisfying! 餐廳內的空間非常寬敞舒適，座位很大，採光很好，服務員非常熱情的招呼我們，只是點完餐到上菜的時間，我們等了蠻久的。 我點了CHICKEN SHAWARMA PLATTER，感覺一群人點來分著吃剛剛好，因為裡面附了很多片grilled naan。 朋友點了OLD FASHIONED BISON SHORT RIBS，肉質超嫩，醬汁的調味非常好，非常入味，雖然價格不菲，但是吃起來真的很爽很開心！ read more

Just realized that I didn't put my review to this restaurant in Jasper. We were lucky to get a late reservation during tourist season. We sat outdoors. Menu is extensive. Service is great. My son enjoyed his coconut kafir seafood pot. Great flavors. My wife had the coconut and almond crusted halibut. Loved it. I had the old fashioned bison short ribs. Cooked perfectly. Not gamey at all. Make sure you make room for dessert. Definitely will recommend this restaurant to my friends who is visiting Jasper. One thing- parking- it's thru an app or online booking. Must have some good signal to able to do it. read more

I stopped by the Raven Bistro in Jasper a while ago and tried their Coconut & Almond Crusted Halibut. The halibut was fresh, juicy, and really nicely crusted with almond. The coconut rice was rich in coconut. The Harissa Cream was peppery and added an extra kick to the dish. The Jicama Slaw and Pea Microgreens went well with everything as they were refreshing. Overall, I'd give my experience 8.3/10 read more

We ended our vacation in Jasper having lunch in this restaurant. We ordered just two main dishes, the halibut for my husband and the burger lamb for me. Both of them were delicious. My burger was amazing (tasty, juicy, tender). I enjoyed also my yam fries. Also the halibut was delicious. The coconut crust was very good. I saw other plates from other customers and everything looked delicious. The waiter was very nice and he gave us his suggestions about the food. read more

The Raven was outstanding from start to finish. My wife and I stayed overnight in Jasper after driving the Icefields Parkway, and we were fortunate enough to pick this spot for dinner. We started with the wild game french onion soup (somehow traditional yet unique at the same time); sweet & spicy margarita (excellent) and a great local IPA; we shared the bison short ribs and a wintering bowl - both of which were delicious. Service was perfect; ambiance was delightful; location was great; and prices were reasonable. A great choice. read more

TLDR - The Pulled Elk Sandwich was good. The traditional Middle Eastern soup was better. The services was courteous and efficient. The ambiance was tastful. We visited The Raven because there was a Pulled Elk Sandwich on the lunch menu. The Pulled Elk Sandwich showcasted a chef who took cooking anything seriously, including a lunch sandwich. It tasted like a perfectly made pulled "beef" sandwich. The bread was toasted to crispy outside and soft inside. The pulled elk was heavily sauce in a BBQ sauce that tasted like it was made in-house. The sandwich was fresh to the bites. If the Pulled Elk Sandwich was good, the soup of the day, a Moroccan soup with lentils and goat completely brew it out of the water. The soup was aromatic with spices. It tasted bold but not overwheming, creamy, complex yet well balanced. So many goat bites. Great textures. Someone cooked this low and slow. IMHO, The Raven serves well executed Middle Eastern/Canadian fusion cuisine. Expect flavours when you come. read more

Swanky, Intimate, and a great date spot. Your tastebuds will be rocked after this meal. Each one of our dishes had such a unique flavor. The dishes came out fast and our waitress was so friendly on navigating the menu. The halibut was so fresh. The Spanish wings were the perfect bit of heat. Then the dessert came, I almost ordered another baklava cheesecake it was so delicious. If you're stuffed...try and make room for a slice it's worth it. Overall it was a memorable dining experience. read more

Great food and great service - what more can you ask for?! It's a small bistro tucked away from the hustle bustle of the town opposite the park. We wanted to sit outside but didn't make a reservation in advance so we were happy to be seated right away even if it meant indoors. Our server was very patient, funny and helpful with her recommendations! For starters, we ordered the soup of the day, which was a halibut soup and the Brie platter. For mains, we got the halibut and the braised bison. Everything was absolutely delicious!! Even tho we got halibut twice (one as an app and one as a main) the flavor profiles were completely different. Lastly, for the dessert we ordered the raspberry rose crème brûlée and it was incredible! Ps: the the bison main course didn't make it to the pics bc it looked so delicious that we jumped on it right as it was served ;) although our favorite was the halibut entree. The inside of the restaurant had a casual upscale vibe that was inviting. The bathrooms are upstairs. Would I return/recommend? 110% !! read more

3 1/2* Feta falafel balls - not a huge fan of these. Couldn't taste any of the feta. The hummus that came with this was a bit dry. Perhaps something to dip the falafel balls into could be helpful, like a tahini sauce or something. Halloumi app - portion is huge. This was good. Halibut - crusted in almond and coconut and served with a great harissa sauce...this was a solid dish. La Pastille - my husband said this okay, very heavy and filling. read more

The venue offers spacious booths and regular tables. We got sat at a booth by the windows with view of dt jasper + mountains! Here are my comments on the dishes we ordered: The wild game soup was rich in flavour, probably the best French onion soup I've had in a while. The steak was seasoned well, but a little on the chewy side. It came with super sweet and yummy boar bacon bites - highlight of the dish! I have a bias opinion on the bison and elk flat bread because I forgot to ask for no goat cheese - I dislike goat cheese. It was my fault, so I did not request for a remake. The service was good and the restrooms were clean. read more

Absolutely culinary genius happening here.
