We went to truffle pigs after a lot of recommendations. We went on a Thursday for lunch and the place was half full. Ordered the gambos al ajillo (shrimp with garlic bread) which was decent but oily. For entrees, my husband ordered the nicoise salad made with seared tuna which was fresh but kind of bland in my opinion. Husband liked it though. The red thai chicken has good flavor but gets a little tiring after a while. Would've been better if they separated the coconut rice and the curry.
surprised by hype yummy this experience was!!!! It's one of the few restaurants in the area so I was expecting to get tourist trapped but no!!! Super cute interior and friendly service Actually very affordable and hearty
Stumbled upon this hidden gem in the tiny town of Field--truly the middle of nowhere, with just one gas station and a very residential feel. There was supposed to be a café in front of the restaurant, but according to Google, it was closed, so we decided to give this place a try. We arrived on a late Saturday afternoon and waited about 30 minutes to be seated, which made sense since there aren't many dining options nearby. The wait was absolutely worth it. We started with the soup of the day--vegetable red pepper--which was incredibly flavorful, and the accompanying slice of bread was equally delicious. We also ordered the falafel-on-a-waffle dish for its uniqueness, and it did not disappoint--so tasty! The host and servers were warm, kind, and welcoming. If you ever find yourself in the area, I'd highly recommend stopping here.
It seems like a lot of people come here for lunch or dinner after visiting Emerald Lake. So did we. We waited about 30 minutes for 2 people for lunch. There were lounge chairs in front to wait in. We got the Purple Burger (shredded beets-nuts-millet burger with goat cheese) and Falafel on a Waffle (just as it sounds). Both were unique and delicious. We didn't even plan for dessert, but ended up getting the lemon-lavender cheesecake, which was unique and delicious as well. Service was warm and friendly -- a true small town hospitality. With a small town like Field, I was not expecting an innovative restaurant with international flavors. I am impressed what they have done!
Truffle Pigs is a casual spot for lunch and dinner with both indoor and outdoor seating. We read a lot of great things about this place and were excited to visit, but we were disappointed with our meal. We went at open on weekday which was good since they do not take reservations and got pretty busy while we were dining there. We were seated right away and chose to dine outside on the patio and enjoy the view. We ordered the Porcini Arancini, Nibble, Nibble Nibble, and a Pineapple Hops Kombucha. Our food came out pretty quickly. The arancini were crispy and the pesto was good, but they were so small and the dish only came with three pieces. The Nibble, Nibble Nibble is a charcuterie board that came with a variety of items such as smoked duck, pate, sausages, cornichon, fruit dijon, toast, and a couple of cheeses. The smoked duck was probably the best thing on the board. The smoky flavor came through and the meat was tender. The fruit dijon was a great balance of tangy and sweet. The pate was very dry and lacked flavor. We wished there was more toast (there were only three). The sausages, cornichon, and cheeses were okay. The Pineapple Hops kombucha was really good. Would definitely look for it in stores. Overall, giving Truffle Pigs a 3/5. We had high hopes for this place since it has good reviews, but our meal was pricey for what we ordered and the portions are small ($18 for three small arancini). Some of the items on the Nibble, Nibble Nibble lacked flavor. We also saw a bee or wasp crawling on the board and when we brought it up to our server, she quickly dismissed it. That kind of ruined the dining experience. Not sure if I would dine here again or recommend to others.
There's a village outside of the long highway entrance to Emerald Lake called "Field". On the far West side of this tiny village is this very popular restaurant that's soo worth the visit for lunch. Reservation is highly recommended (October - May) as it's super popular spot to get lunch or dinner after Emerald Lake. During June - September, you're at the mercy of their first-come first-served policy. For appetizers we got the Pork Belly Nachos ($22) and Steamed Mussels ($24). The Pork Belly Nachos was a happy accident, we didn't mean to order this as it was a family lunch and the parents weren't fond of bar food. It worked out as the pork belly with the other typical loaded nachos ingredients made it an exception to the rule. The Steamed Mussels is a half pound of PEI mussels. The creamy sauce it is served in is delicious and of course you gotta dip the garlic bread in the sauce for the added flavor. For entree, the group split various items. The Curry Chicken Rice Bowl ($28) was alright, which was chicken curry on coconut rice. The Pappardelle ($34) pasta I enjoyed the sauce, which is a roquefort and mushroom cream sauce, with pieces of shredded tender beef. Comes wth grilled garlic bread which goes great with the sauce. The Peachy Flatbread ($29) is a great sharable for the table with the highlight being the peaches and the hot honey drizzle. I also got a cup of the Pink Latte ($5.50) because I found it to be unique. Has a hint of raspberry flavor to it. Give it a try if you're intrigued.
I was told that this was in town to get lunch. I think it is one of the few places in town to get lunch. The restaurant is small and after waiting 20 minutes, we were seated at the bar. To be honest, it felt cramped as I was on the one end of the bar facing a wall. The food was good, better than I would expect in a small town situated in a national park.
Beautiful views on the patio and the food is excellent. The tuna bites and porcini arancini were super flavorful and fresh, highly recommended. The burger was good but nothing special for the price. Servers were attentive and inquisitive, they probably get a lot of travelers especially for the nice mountain views. Overall would visit again
The best stop for food in Yoho NP! We went around 3pm, it was busy, we were sat out on the patio right away. Service was great, our server was so sweet. The view from the patio is beautiful. Everything ordered was delicious. Menu has gluten free listings on it! The phony cannelloni was wonderful! I've never had cannelloni due to being gluten free, but the sweet potato is genius. Not pictured was the daily soup and brownie sundae.
We came across this place from a Google search on our way back from Emerald Lake. The vibe is charming and quaint, and they have great food options (not too many, but it was honestly nice not to be overwhelmed by too many choices). They have great vegetarian/vegan options if needed! We were very satisfied with the service too, the wait staff is very friendly and there is a wait time but it's not bad (for a family of 4 we waited about 10 minutes for indoor seating). The restaurant is surrounded by lovely scenery with plenty of benches/tables to relax and enjoy the views after your meal.
The food is a little bit pricy but delicate, tasty, and well-served. I guess the chef might be Italian.
I came here for lunch after visiting Yoho National Park, and the food was pretty good! It's pretty small inside, so we did wait for about 15 to 20 minutes. I had the watermelon soda, and it was the best watermelon soda I've had! It was so refreshing! And the glass was pretty big. For my meal, I had the peachy flatbread. It was good, but the flatbread did get extremely soggy :( The waiter that we had was super nice!

This colorful restaurant off the beaten path in the heart of the town of Yoho is filled with so much flavor! You walk in & are immediately greeted with a small gift shop that leads directly into the main dining area which is filled with lots of brightly colored artworks & a pig mural that has all of the servers & owners names intertwined! My sister & I were warmly welcomed & immediately seated! We ordered Shafts which were really good along with Caesar salads & The only C.A.B. In Town sirloin! Everything was filled with so much flavor! If you're in the mood for delicious food that is filled with flavor in a small intimate setting, this is the place to go! Cheers! read more

THE BEST RESTAURANT in the Canadian Rockies. MUST GO when in the area. The food here is unrivaled by the more frills touristy options in Banff and Lake Louise. It's a little detour from Banff, but if you're hiking in Yoho National Park, THIS is the place to eat. We came here two days in a row and would've come a third day if we were not rushing to the airport in Calgary. Here's what we ordered: - Duck Confit: TO DIE FOR. The duck was PERFECTLY cooked with a crispy skin and tender meat. The sauce was UMPTIOUS. - Braised Short Ribs: Server recommended it on our second visit and said, "this is the one you need to get." And boy was this OUT OF THE WORLD DECADENT. FALL APART tender and the mashed potatoes and pattypan squash just soaked up all that goodness. PORTION WAS HUGE too! - Burger: After a strenuous hike up Iceline Ridge on a cold day with some light hail, we went straight to the restaurant starving and the burger and crispy fries hit the spot. The blueberry bbq spot was a really nice touch with a little sweetness and a hint of smoke. Drool. - Salmon: Crispy skin salmon on top of a rich, creamy risotto. Loved that they also provided a roasted lemon versus a raw one. - Blueberry Pie: After a long hike, how can you resist gorging on PIE AND ICE CREAM???? Desserts are made daily. I can attest because the day before was a multiple berry pie. And this pie comes out warm and gooey. PERFECTION. SERVICE WAS PHENOMENAL. I wished I stayed here than at the Emerald Lake Lodge. Food was AMAZING and the server were so friendly, welcoming, and kind. I can't wait to come back! read more

Great location of a small town called fields Cozy atmosphere and great choice . Food was excellent and fresh . Have a small ice cream shop in basement also read more
An awesome spot!! Granted this is the I inky spot in town past a certain point, but it is quite amazing. Came on a Friday night for dinner and was seated right away. The server was friendly and courteous. There are not many vegetarian options unfortunately, so I only could go for the "beet it" burger. It was made with beets, millet, walnuts and goat cheese. The food was prepared promptly. I started with the salad, it was quite good. The strawberry poppyseed dressing Was tasty. Then I got to the burger...omg this was amazing. Such a unique flavour profile. Every ingredient complemented each other so well. The restaurant itself was cozy and not too pricey. It felt very warm just like a lodge on a cold winter day. Definitely worth a stop! read more

What a hidden gem! We were sent here by the lake Louise visitor center and so glad we went. It's is in the smallest town every tucked away in a corner near the water tower. They have a small menu but you can tell they are experts at cooking the items they offer. I had the best poutine I had come across on my 10 day vacation. It was a yam poutine with a homemade peppercorn sauce. For my entree I had the bao tacos that came with super tender bbq pork and a really fluffy want bao bun. The show stopper was "the nice bowl" that had chicken, veggies, jammy eggs and some type of amazing sauce. I have no idea what they did or how they cooked chicken but it was packed with flavor. I appreciate restaurants that take pride in the food they cook. You can see and taste the effort that went into each dish. I highly recommend this place! read more

This place is a gem. We ate at the bar and started with bespoke cocktails (I had the Here's Empress, a rainbow take on a gin and tonic with lavender Empress gin, grapefruit and mint) and a truly unique spin on poutine that entailed crispy gnocchi in lieu of fries. It was clear from this first dish that we were in for a special meal, as it was carefully crafted and assembled so that every bite was a taste experience. With that lead-in, it may come as a surprise that we ordered burgers for our main course, but sometimes you just need a burger, especially after a day of hiking. They didn't tart up the burgers, but they were perfectly executed, exactly medium rare, and the fries had the ideal level of crispiness (see photo). For dessert, I went with the homemade strawberry rhubarb pie, and my husband had the caramel chocolate tart which appeared quite decadent. Pretty sure it was the proprietor who suggested we try a swig of the local Prospectors rye, which was delicious. The perfect nightcap. And while happily taking in all this memorable food and drink, we enjoyed chatting with our bartender and the other friendly staff - who all seemed to really like each other - as well as the amiable German guy next to us, who was in his third week of a 3-month trek from Watertown to Jasper. The place has the kind of low-key but friendly vibe that makes you want to order another drink and while away an hour with a stranger. This was the last night of our vacation, and it was perfect in every way. read more

We really wanted to love this place. Cute restaurant with great views from the patio and servers are friendly enough. The food however did not meet our expectations. Mediocre taste with a high dollar price tag. The Canneloni dish was delivered cold and although it was replaced with a fresher meal it was not worth the over $30 cost. The burger was also not as good as expected. Maybe it is the dishes that we picked but we would not come back. read more

A truly original (and delicious menu). Flavors that challenge the way we think about casual dining. It's easy to see that the chef (I have no idea who it is) is a genius and has given this menu some serious thought. Order anything here. You will not be disappointed. Well worth the drive we made from the Lake Louise. read more
Truffle Pigs serves high-end pub food with beautiful presentation at a reasonable price. The restaurant is very hidden and kind of difficult to get to, especially if you're from out-of-town. We drove through a small neighborhood off of the Trans Canada Highway near Emerald Lake to get here off of a suggestion from one of the locals. Inside seating is cozy. I would guess capacity is anywhere between 30-50 people. Large windows give an incredible view of the Canadian rockies. It's an intimate, quiet space that is probably not good for big, raucous groups. We were seated immediately and given the menus. They only have about a dozen entrees. My fiancée had the pulled pork bao sliders and I had the beef burger. Both dishes looked lovely and tasted great. The sliders were topped with a zesty green sauce and peanuts giving the whole plate a pleasant blast of color. The burger patty was generous and well seasoned. The chef got my side order wrong but immediately fixed his error without me asking so I got to try the side salad (comes with the best balsamic vinaigrette in the world) and fries (crispy and in between shoe string and regular thickness). I would recommend both! Save room for dessert as they have an extensive menu that sounds delicious, but we were too stuffed to order sweets. read more

After a long morning of exploring Yoho National Park, Truffle Pigs hit the spot in all the right places. It is located in the city of Field, just a little bit off the freeway. Parking is easy- either find a spot in the lot or park on the street. My boyfriend and I shared the mushroom pappardelle & the beefy burger. The mushroom pappardelle was nice and light, with 3 different kinds of mushroom, onions and spinach. The pasta was also nice and thick, cooked el dente. We also had the soup of the day, which was this amazing vegetable coconut milk soup! They have a separate lunch and dinner menu but both provide wonderful choices, with vegetarian options as well! If you're craving dessert, the establishment has a little ice cream parlor on the lowest floor. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone in the Banff/Yoho national park area. read more
Recommended by a tattoo artist in Canmore, we stopped here after a nine mile hike at Johnston's Canyon. The service was super friendly. Flatbread was great, sweet and savory! It hit the spot after our trek. The burger had wonderful crunchy outsides and a generous portion of fries. Super cute little spot for good eats! read more

We ordered two burgers, a poke bowl, and a flatbread. The flatbread and poke were good. The burgers didn't have a lot of taste and the fries were a little sad. The poke also had a small amount of poke in the bowl in respect to the amount of rice and the size of the bowl. Other than that this was a decent place to eat lunch as one of the restaurants in Field. read more

Get here early if you want to try their amazing specials! This place has something for everyone... vegetarian, pescetarian, meat lovers and those with a sweet tooth. I had the house ginger beer almost every night, the other beer refresher with grapefruit was equally good. Service is friendly and genuine. Boyfriend and I couldn't agree on a favorite dish, but there was nothing we did not like. We tried almost everything on the menu... stop here for delicious eats! You will not be disappointed! read more
In the small town of Field, if you have time, definitely come here. I've been in the Banff area for 10 days and this will be the only review I'm writing. Staff - super friendly, quick (unlike the rest of Banff), and knowledgeable about their food and the area. Can be healthy if you order correctly and they're willing to help. Trying American food in Canada might seem weird but in the end it's fusion.. and isn't that almost everything these days? Either way, their food is legit, and I have nothing bad to say. Bathrooms gender neutral and CLEAN. Again, you dont NEED to go here. But it's refreshing to get away from the more typical touristy spots. It's a nice stop if you're coming from yoho and it's really not too far from the lake Louise area. Lines moved fast as did the entire start to end process imo. You won't regret it. Oddly, I don't remember truffle being on the menu now that I think about it read more

This was the best food place we had in our 4 day trip to Banff. While it is not nestled in the touristy side of the town, the drive here was so well worth it. True vegan food that is not drenched in sauces is hard to find and this place delivered! Ordered their Purple Burger. It felt that the chef truly made a effort to make the food an enjoyable experience. Service is also awesome, very friendly staff. I wanted to have some dessert but we had to catch a tour so had to leave but for sure we will be back for more!! Keep up the awesome work! See you next time! read more

Food was decent. However our experience was not pleasant as the lights went off during our meal. Apparently it's common in the area for blackouts to happen. However their backup generator didn't work immediately and the blackout was about 15mins. It was very hard to eat in the dark even though they brought out lamps. I don't blame the restaurant when the power is out and their back up generator didn't work immediately. I'm just disappointed they didn't apologize for the inconvenience. They just said to everyone "don't worry this is common". In general the service was lacking. read more

Phenomenal, off-the-beaten-path restaurant. Field, BC isn't a well-known destination, but should be because of this place. Every dish seems to be a work of art, and it is clear that the chef(s) know damn well what they're doing. The eccentric interior matches the unique dishes, but listen well: THE FOOD HERE IS DIVINE! read more

What a delightful surprise! During a trip to Banff and the lack of snow due to warm temps we took a drive into B.C. to find snow covered trees. We had been to Field once before, but it was during the summer, but figured it was higher in elevation so we crossed our fingers and took the drive. So on the way I peeked at yelp and read other reviews that prompted us to try this place for lunch. Let me paint the picture for you - sleepy and quiet (without the tourist humdrum)small town, located at the bottom of a valley. Surrounded by mountains all covered with towering snowy pine trees. Seriously it's a scene from a Christmas card. NOW on to the restaurant. Very lodgy inside with a touch of upscale charm. Windows all around to look at the stunning beauty. Super friendly staff and very attentive. On to the food! Whoever the chef is that creates these dishes should be commended! Unique dishes that rally against big city high end restaurants. Unique flavoring and wonderful presentation. I had the soup and a winter salad and both were very tasty. The Mac and cheese is super delicious and gourmet in its own right. The next time we head that way we will definitely make a stop to this treasure. I recommend to you as you read this to start driving to Field now! read more

National Parks visitor centre recommended a visit to Field so here we are! Ordered butternut squash soup and the veggie burger. Food was fresh and delicious. I loved the beet sweet potato veggie patty served on a perfectly toasted light crispy bun. Quaint little resto right in town with a beautiful view of the mountains. Friendly service and great ambiance. Definitely worth a return visit! read more

The city of Yoho closes down for a few weeks in Fall before the Winter season and Truffle Pigs Bistro was the only restaurant open. The food was delicious. I got the Zoomer Pappardelle (Oyster, shiitake and cremini mushrooms, sautéed with shallots, garlic and cream, then tossed with spinach, parsley, pappardelle pasta and a generous grating of parmesan cheese) which was fantastic. The sangria wasn't very good and tasted watered down but I would return here when coming back to Yoho. read more
