Well what else can I say....I have heard a lot about this charming place and it didn't disappoint. I almost didn't want to share my views as it is that good. The effort that goes into the quality of the food, presentation, customer service is something I haven't experienced much of in the restaurant industry, and I have eaten in... More

I loved this restaurant in the past. The meals have been disappointing the second time in a row. Paying good dollars for an average meal will not be sustainable.

Well the Trough..you got me hooked. I came with a group of people and got to try most of your appetizers. They were all good, but your take on bruschetta was outstanding (and I don’t expect to be surprised by bruschetta very often!). The main course (Beef Tenderloin) was presented well, and tasted fantastic. The dessert (crème brulée) was excellent... More

There wasn't a single thing about this restaurant I disliked. I worked in the service industry for years, and so I have a tough time not critiquing the restaurants I go to... but The Trough passed with flying colors. Their food is absolutely the best food I have ever eaten. The portions were very generous, and the drinks were great!... More

We are Canmore residents so have tried most of the restaurants in town. This is easily a top pick. It is a small restaurant in a back street by the Town Office. Small and very special. The restaurant started about five years ago by a couple and they did my birthday party in my home - it was superb. The... More

The reviews on Trip Advisor drew us to this rustic yet elegant dining experience. The service and food where exceptional. The décor is minimalist, the menu is not overcrowded but something for everyone and specials updated daily. The amuse-bouch and sorbet palette cleanser takes the dining experience up a few notches and the food (presentation, quality and quantity) did not... More

We have traveled abroad and dine out often, The Trough is a great restaurant no matter what the location may be. The friendliness and team work of the staff is outstanding and the chef pays attention to detail. My wife had the salmon and I had the ribs, we shared the special appetizer (onion fritters, Indian style) and the pork/mushroom... More

we had a really nice meal here. We shared the bruschetta dough ball starter, very tasty, perhaps a bit too large to pop in your mouth though as recommended. Ribs for my husband, he said the yam side was delicious and the ribs were fall off the bone perfect no grizzle just what he called good fat. I had the... More
