Why This Beloved Summer Destination in the Canadian Rockies Is Worth Visiting All Year Round.
BLUEBIRD: Open since September of 2022, this eatery (with daily brunch and fondue happy hour) tucked into an Alpine-style building features midcentury-modern-chic décor emulating a ski chalet, like a suspended fireplace and wood-paneled walls. While marketed as a wood-fired steakhouse, serving up Alberta steaks and a Sunday-night steak special, you can also start the day with souffle pancakes or enjoy oysters with dinner.
THE MAPLE LEAF: This longtime downtown Banff restaurant known for Alberta beef and game and its Farmers Breakfast recently launched an indigenous chef series, featuring Chef Shane Chartrand. Born to Cree parents and raised by a Metis father and Mi’kmaq-British mother, his dishes include a cinnamon-cured salmon appetizer in sweet mustard broth and—for the entrée—a choice of bison tenderloin and marrow, or cornmeal-crusted rainbow trout. Canadian wines are also prevalent.
