What better way to relax after a hectic day of sight-seeing, than in front of a roaring fireplace...or two! The award-winning Maple Leaf Grille & Lounge on Banff Avenue is more like a cozy lounge than a restaurant and bar. A scenic view of the neighboring area just adds to your feel-good factor, along with the hearty Canadian fare and great alcohol selection, of course. Chef Polizzi whips up a tasty selection of seafood and meat dishes. Dollops of good food and award-winning wines along with a dash of hospitality await patrons at this delightful restaurant.
The Grapes Wine Bar was originally used as a writing room in the mid 1920s and still retains the quaintness of a bygone era. The Grapes Wine Bar is the place to retreat for a drink or two, where one can sample the variety of Canadian wines paired with cheeses, fruits, fondues and salads. Aside from their specialty wines, The Grapes Wine Bar also serves a full three course meal, appetizers, with sumptuous desserts on view.
Eden is located in the Rimrock Resort Hotel, which sits alongside Mountain Drive and just below the Upper Hot Springs. The dining room presents an incredible vista of Bow River, Tunnel Mountain and the North Face of Mount Rundle from the floor to ceiling windows. The setting is elegant, with overstuffed chairs and starched linens, and is a must for those who enjoy a long, reflective dining experience. The award-winning gourmet menu is one of the finest in Banff, with venison, fresh Atlantic lobster and Alberta AAA beef.
