We got the mushroom risotto (so unique), the vegetarian bao bun, and the vegetarian lettuce wraps (make sure to ask for vegan so they can sub the non-vegan sauce). The only con was that the restaurant itself was small and can only take a few parties at a time. We got lucky and took the 6 remaining seats at the bar, but be prepared to wait if you're a bigger party. That said, the staff and bartender were very nice and service time was fairly normal. Would recommend!

There were four of us, and we waited about 10 minutes for a table, but you can also make a reservation ahead of time if you don't want to wait. Once seated, service was efficient and friendly. We all ordered burgers, and they were hearty and filling. I chose The Malibu, and the fried chicken cutlet was hot and crispy, with everything tasting fresh and made to order. Overall, this was a solid spot to refuel after hiking, and I'd happily return to this place when I visit Banff again!

Never thought I would enjoy an elk burger but this place nailed it!…read more They are known for their bison burger and elk burger so I decided to try the elk burger with poutine on the side and it's amazing.

We ordered a dip platter to share for the table and I chose the Alberta beef souvlaki for my main - so tasty and everything was super fresh. I also enjoyed a non alcoholic cocktail called the Balkan 65 which was wonderful. Definitely recommend booking a reso in advance if you visit during peak times.

Everything was absolutely delicious, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the food. The portion sizes are generous, and the quality of the ingredients is top-notch. Prices are reasonable, too. It was a bit hard to have a conversation since we were seated in the bar area, and the restaurant was quite crowded. I recommend making reservations in advance.

It consisted of ham, cheese curds, potatoes and gravy. The meat was well-cooked and I liked the cheese curds. The gravy was a little salty for my liking. Potatoes were not soggy despite being drenched in gravy. They have two plate sizes - small or large. I got a small since it was only me eating. The place was small, but had outdoor seating. Service was great - pick and efficient. Their menu consisted more than poutines. They also served sandwiches, hamburgers and hotdogs. I would comeback and try a different flavor poutine.

Everything tasted good, came out fast, and hit the spot without trying to be anything fancy. Prices and service were good--definitely one of the more affordable stops in Banff--and the food had good flavour for what you're paying. The margaritas were easy to drink and matched the relaxed vibe of the place. Overall, it's a decent stop if you want something simple, quick, and tasty without breaking the bank. Nothing over the top, just good food and a laid-back atmosphere. The only negative thing worth mentioning is the place could use a dust and a bit of a clean. Nothing that ruined the meal, but it was noticeable and we didn't like that.

You know what I wish I did? Take pictures of the food. It was cold and I forgot…read more After an hour half to two hour drive from Calgary, I wanted something to eat. Thing is we arrived pretty late. Close to midnight. Me and my daughter walked to town, about 5-10 minutes away from our hotel. A few places were still open, which was nice. After checking out a few places, we decided to check out Aardvark. Location - It's in the town of Banff. It's right off of the main street. Walkable from a lot of the hotels in the area. Food - The food is good. It was freshly made. We got one pepperoni, one cheese, and poutine. The pizza had enough grease, but it's not greasy. The dough was cooked properly. It was crispy outside and chewey inside. The flavor on the pizza and poutine was good. I did not get food poisoning. Service/Staff - Good service. Orders were taken promptly and food came out on a timely manner. Staff were friendly. Vibe - The place had a fun and bright vibe. Pizza by the slice was on display. There's not really a place to sit. It's pretty much a "come in and grab" type of place. It was cool. People were still coming in to buy slices. Would I go back? Yes, I would. It's specially nice that they are open super late. I hope they stay the same.

Aardvark saved my life when I was dying from hunger. I flew in from the United States for my annual…read moretrip to Banff. This time around, I didn't get to Banff until about 11 PM. Seeing several restaurants open on Google Maps, I walked to each one, down the line. They were all closed. I didn't eat since breakfast that day and with the local grocery store closed too, I thought I was going to pass out. The hostess from Canadian Brew House down the street mentioned my choices were Aardvark, Domino's, and Subway. No offense to Subway or Domino's but when I travel, I don't eat at chain restaurants. I'm so glad Aardvark was open! I ordered a 9" Aardvark pizza (pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, tomatoes, onions, and black olives. They made it fresh to order and I got it within 10 minutes. It definitely hit the spot!

Sometimes you just need a foot-long Subway sandwich for the road.

We needed some protein and didn't have much time, and appreciated being able to quickly order and hit the road without much of a fuss. There weren't many people inside that early, so we were able to order quickly and without hassle. Parking can be hard in downtown Banff, but we had found a spot a few blocks away, so walking from there was no problem!

They indicated as long as we were seated and ordered before 8:45pm, we would be ok so we headed up to the Silver Dragon. We ordered dumplings, fried rice, and an egg roll. The food came out quickly. There were two other tables finishing up so we didn't feel too rushed, although staff was clearly cleaning up to get ready to go home. We loved the rice and the dumplings were excellent. I wasn't as big a fan of the egg roll (loved the inside but didn't like the batter outside as much) but I liked the sauce that came with it. Portions were generous. The place was cutely decorated. Parking was easy but I could see parking being a bit of an issue on a really busy day. We were so grateful they could accommodate us so late. Hiking made us hungry!

Ambiance: 3/5 stars, your typical Chinese restaurant vibe. Nothing special that stands out…read more Service: 5/5 stars, our waiter (I believe his name was Sam) was very personable and funny. While the food did take a while to prepare (we did have a party of 8 and the dishes were cooked to all come out at once), Sam did come and check in with us. My family and I spoke Cantonese with him and he made turned our experience waiting into an entertaining banter session. Food: 4/5 stars. Coming from Southern California and eating tons of Chinese/Cantonese dishes growing up, Silver Dragon's food is solid on the authentic end. They do have some dishes that cater to more western tastes, based on what we saw on the menu, but if you're looking for authentic Chinese food in Banff this place surprisingly fulfilled that craving! Only miss is if you're looking for authentic Cantonese soups you sadly will not find that here. - Sweet and sour pork aka kingdom pork: crowd favorite, sauce was sweet and tangy, pork was not overcooked - Yangzhou fried rice: least favorite of all dishes, no wok hei, would not recommend or reorder - Guangzhou chow mein: okay, noodles were crispy but nothing special - Mapo tofu: in my opinion good amount of mala flavor, could use a bit more bean curd but otherwise delicious, one of the night's favorite dishes - Baby bok choy: great garlic flavor, classic dish - Tofu seafood clay pot: nothing bad to say, seafood was cooked well - Preserved vegetable steamed pork patties: perfectly cooked pork, juicy and flavorful! Glad that they had this dish available on the menu :) Overall if I happen to come back to Banff 100 percent would come back with my family. My family and I had great time both eating the food and interacting with staff!
