The food is made fresh and always arrives at the table steaming hot. They make the best hollandaise in the entire Bow Valley!!

We were staying at the Econo Lodge where you can upgrade to a free breakfast for an extra $6 per person Sure. Why not? We were not expecting anything special, but special is exactly what we got. Our $6 upgrade got us a choice of 2 very hearty yet very standard breakfasts, but there were so many unique choices on... More

Fabulous as usual. Loved my apple cheddar crepes. My friends had egg breakfasts that looked totally yummy. They must have been as there was nothing left on our plates. A new staple restaurant for our Canmore weekends (new to my family that is)!

I can only comment on breakfast but If you go, go here hungry...generous servings. Super friendly service and great food. Love the generous addition of fresh fruit slices. I read the comment regarding dirty chairs, bathrooms, and ants....we did not see any of this and will go back, perhaps to try lunch or dinner.

We were looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate a late Mother's Day dinner. We were the first and only ones in the restaurant for the first hour and a half. Service was slow, prices on their website do not match what they charge, chairs and bathrooms were filthy, ants were interrupting our dinner, food was mediocre at best. Drinks... More

I've been to Canmore many times and this is the first time I've eaten here. We came for breakfast on a Saturday. At 9:30 am the restaurant wasn't too busy yet. The service was wonderful - very friendly host and server! They gave us good food recommendations. Our party had everything from eggs benedicts to crepes and each item was... More

Fabulous apple, Brie, ham crepes! Served with fresh fruit and fantastic homemade pan fried potatoes. Orange juice freshly squeezed. My family had the asparagus, Swiss cheese and ham eggs Bennie done medium and they were great too. Daughter had golden French toast. Both dishes were served with fresh fruit and potatoes. We did have one dirty coffee cup but that... More

The food here was to die for, incredible. I am not one for fancy French food so when someone recommended this place I was skeptical. I am so glad we went because the seafood was wonderful and the portion size was great. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in Can more!!

We went for Breakfast. No matter what others claim, this is simply the best breakfast in Canmore. The eggs benedict was cooked perfectly and the crepes were divine. Service was also great and quick. The ambiance does not suit how fancy the food was, but overall a fantastic experience.
