Le Beaujolais, Banff

Although it is housed in slightly unprepossessing premises above shops in the centre of town, Le Beaujolais is a charming and popular restaurant that serves sophisticated French cuisine. The à la carte menu features dishes such as braised elk with wild boar bacon and roast quail with Swiss chard dumplings – or there’s a six-course surprise menu.

Temple Lodge, Lake Louise
Generally speaking, the mountain restaurants in Banff (called day lodges) are fairly utilitarian. However, Temple Lodge, located on the Larch area of Lake is a rustic log building with a large sun terrace. There’s a café and the Sawyer’s Nook restaurant, which serves colossal salads, good pizzas and other basics.
