14 Best Places to Eat in Banff, Canada (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Guide)

Exploring Banff National Park can be tiring enough, you shouldn't have to worry about finding the best place to eat after a long day of adventures. After our second trip to the Banff area to explore, we've decided to round up all our favorites places to eat in the adorable town of Banff! Don't feel like eating out? No worries - there's an IGA grocery store right in downtown Banff!

Our Essential Travel Resources :
​There are a lot of travel companies out there, but some are better than others. These are our favorite websites and resources to help you plan an incredible trip.

For flights, we recommend using WayAway or Hopper to compare the cheapest dates to travel to your destination.

Car rentals comparisons are best through Discover Cars - just make sure to bring your international driver's permit with you if you're heading somewhere international!

We always use AGODA for hotels. They have an easy-to-use platform where you can compare the best rates.

To keep cell phone service if you're traveling internationally, we always use Airalo’s easy to purchase eSIM’s (no installation required), and always use NordVPN to stay safe while connecting to different wifi connections.

For fun things to do, we always recommend Viator to find the best tours in the area, otherwise Klook also does the trick, especially for tours in Asia.

Just in case, Safetywing is the insurance I always use for travel insurance.

Lastly, my packing list for your international or domestic travels.

Best Breakfast Spots in Banff

• Wild Flour Bakery - a bakery that's been around since the late 1800's, it's a great stop for coffee, soup, and amazing baked goods
• Good Earth - a busy cafe with great "healthier" options, I loved their beetroot coconut muffin & their peach with honey smoothie, just be warned it can get very busy and chances are there'll be a long line (don't worry it moves fast!)
• Whitebark Cafe - a local cafe that's been voted the Bow Valley's best coffee (not much to eat, but a perfect caffeine stop)
• Juniper Bistro - located inside the Juniper Hotel, the Juniper Bistro has been voted the Bow Valley's best brunch and is probably the "nicest" breakfast spot on our list
• Farm & Fire - owned by the Pursuit Collection (who also runs the Banff Gondola, Lake Minnewanka Cruise & Columbia Icefield Skywalk) they focus on serving "farm-to-fork" meals!

Best Lunch & Dinner Options in Banff

Bear Street Tavern

Hankki Korean Street Food

Eddie's Burger Bar

• Bear Street Tavern - some of the best pizza we've had, they serve it up with chili oil and honey(!!), we've tried the Mediterranean, Hawaiian, and The Godfather - and you really can't go wrong!
• Nourish Bistro - a restaurant catering towards vegans and vegetarians, they have an excellent menu with a variety of options, we tried their Mac & Squeeze (highly recommend), their Ramen (also highly recommend), and their kombucha, dumplings, and nourish bowl!
• Eddie Burger Bar - a dive bar feel with great burgers and shakes! 
• Hankii Korean Street Food - one of my personal favorite stops, head here for a rice bowl, Korean hotdogs, and sides - it's the perfect place to go if you wan't something a little quicker than a sit down restaurant!
• ​Seoul Country Korean Restaurant - another great stop for Korean food, this nice sit down restaurant is located inside a mall on the second floor - and they have huge portions!
• Banff Poutine - what can we say they have great poutine (and there's no way Tyler ever lets us skip poutine when in Canada), but they also have sandwiches, hot dogs, burgers and fries​
• Sky Bistro - located at the top of Banff Gondola, you'll have to either hike or take the ride up from the bottom - but it'll definitely be worth it (even just for the views!)

Banff Poutine

The Fudgery

Beaver Tails

• Beaver Tails - a popular chain in Canada, we were pleasantly surprised during our first visit - you can get ice cream here but we highly recommend getting a beaver tail (traditional fry bread with toppings!), my personal favorite is the bananaorama (nutella and banana) but Tyler loves the brownie!
• The Fudgery - they had delicious fudge to take on the go and other sweet treats!
