We happened on Nourish after the obligatory survey of eating establishments without much exciting attention. The aroma won us before we even looked at the menu. Service was very friendly and attentive. But the food was what it was all about ( although the Calgary beer was good). Absolutely delightful flavours, and unusual. Great advice from our waiter to take... More

I'm a bit critical when it comes to resturants especially vegetarian. But oh my god if I could fold this place up, put it in my pocket and take it back to Australia I would. Funky art, funky music and funky bloody good food. Their tenders and their curry are to die for. The service friendly and chilled. I really... More

The staff I experienced has a nonchalant attitude towards guests and keeping reservations.

Nourish was such a joy to find. After roaming Banff for dinner and only finding franchise steak houses like Tony Romas, we were advised by a cab driver to try Nourish. Not many cabbies recommend vegetarian restaurants so we knew it had to be good. Great atmosphere and run by a quirky guy who whips the orders, drinks and food... More

Great food, relaxed atmosphere, fantastic flavours. King long noodles, poutine (Indian style), paneer curry & an acai smoothie half orders between 2 of us - more than enough food Excellent overall

We decided to give this place a go after the good reviews on trip advisor and definitely not disappointed. The food was flavourful and the portions large. We had nachos and the house curry for main followed by the apple pie for dessert. All the food appeared fresh and didnt take long to arrive with us! Staff were friendly and... More

We never had vegetarian food before and we pleasantly surprised. Very flavorful. We had the beautiful burrito, king kong noodles and the ravioli. The best was the ravioli. Only drawbacks were the music (weird and loud) and the cramped quarters. It did not seeM to deter the lunch crowd. And it didn't deter us. If you are going to get... More

A vegetarian oasis in a town dominated by meat restaurants. We are not vegetarian but wanted a change from meat and ended up going for 2 nights running. The food is sublime, very tasty with creative takes on standard veg fare. On the first night they were full but made space for us outside. Service friendly and prompt. outstanding

I ate at Nourish as part of a group of six guys, including some very skeptical non-vegetarians, and we were all very impressed by the delicious food.

My wife and I really enjoyed our lunch here. The food was delicious and the chef is ahead of his years. VERY healthy and tasty! We recommend the Kong noodles - fantastic!
