Food was ok. Portions and prices were fine. Made reservations as we were celebrating my husband's birthday and my first Mother's Day. When I called to make the reservation, I asked if they were family friendly and they said yes. Unfortunately, when we had to change our son, we asked if they had a change table-- they did not, and...

This is a great little gourmet French restaurant. Everything we ate here was delicious and arrived quickly, though not super cheap. We will definitely eat here again.

We were returning to Calgary from Jasper and had spent the afternoon taking our time to make the drive, we skipped over Lake Louise and skipped over Banff for supper. We wanted to try something new - O Bistro in Canmore. Good ratings, happy diners so we checked it out. Thursday at 6:30 pm it was quiet, but Canmore is... More

Five of us went here for dinner and all but one enjoyed their food choices. The steak was amazing, the butternut squash ravioli was also. The lamb shank was the best ever. It's a tiny place, but warm and comfortable. Our food server was delightful and attentive. I'd go back again in a heartbeat, except I don't live in Canmore.... More

The food was very good!! Escargot was very well done - in a portobello mushroom - nice change from the usual greasy version in butter. Not the place though if you want a great steak - was just ok. Pork tenderloin with stuffing was amazing!! Cute, quaint place - great for a couples night out!!

We were like others, had a drink at Grizzly paw and left and found this place next door for dinner mid week. Only a small eatery about six tables . We were seated quickly and served promptly people at table next to us, had recommended a dish, but it was sold out. So was one more, but the fish I... More

Lucked into a nice window table for lunch. We had the beef bourgignon, and the salmon salad. Both were excellent. Good value too. Small place though, so it could be hard to get in.

Serendipitous discovery on a night when the line to get into the Grizzly Paw was too long. Food was beautifully prepared, came quite fast and was reasonably priced. The squash ravioli was excellent.

On our last evening in Alberta, I was having a desire for one last "Poutine fix"! We came upon O bistro and with my husbands urging, we stopped in. We were told by a server/manager/owner? That they "guessed they could accomodate us if we could be finished with our dinner at 8:00" as there was a reservation for that table... More
