Top 10 restaurants in Lake Louise, Canada

March 25, 2018 Stefan Strunk

Alpine, cross-country skiing, heli-skiing and snowboarding are popular activities in quiet Lake Louise, 35 miles east of Banff, as are ice fishing, skating, dog sledding and ice climbing. In summer, the area attracts almost as many visitors to its trails, waters and rock faces. Peer into turquoise Lake Louise in Banff National Park, three miles from the town of the same name, and be amazed by the color. The renowned grand hotel Chateau Lake Louise sits at the brim of the eponymous lake.

Generally the food was OK, dinner and breakfast, but one piece of meat should never have even been put on the grill! Was sorted out quickly by the waitress and manager but the chef should have known better. The food is expensive but this is Lake Louise.

Me and my boyfriend went there for our birthdays and it never disappoints. Food is excellent and the service is top-notch! I had the special of the week, which was this beautifully presented pasta dish with steak and scallops. My boyfriend had the bison burger with poutine - simply amazing! We enjoyed a lovely bottle of cava and overall had an amazing birthday celebration! Cannot wait to go back. I’m already planning my next visit to this resort, and of course, the Bistro!

Been a few years since I was in lake Louise and I enjoyed a great visit at the bakery then. I recently visited and took a friend for lunch, but was disappointed. No fresh sandwiches, they are premade sitting wrapped in Saran Wrap, and although a good size am I the only person who hates a soggy Sandwich because tomatoes sit on the bread all day. Is it not better to make the sandwhich fresh (ie add tomatoes, choice of toppings) if you are trying to be a bake shop and not just be a macs or 7-11. I expected much more, my memory was of a higher quality years ago of freshly made sandwiches. I think in general our standards are higher now in bakeries or delis.
Desserts were very good, sausage rolls good.
They forgot to give us our coleslaw with our pulled pork, so I came back and they were out (I missed the apology) so we came back next day. The coleslaw is freshly made, I would love their extra effort but personally the cole slaw was below average. Bland, needs work.
I expect more from an independent bakery lunch spot, really wish it was better.

Lake Louise Station Restaurant

Reviewed By JWlovesluxury - Hamilton, Canada

With ten of us ranging in age from 10 to 70+, it's not easy to meet everyone's wishes, yet the server, food and experience were all terrific. Everyone enjoyed their meal (no small with sometimes picky eaters). The caprice salad was particularly good as were the Alberta Bison Ribs. I was glad to share a delicious fruit pie for dessert. The vegetarian in the family loved the chili while others enjoyed the burgers and pork schnitzel. Plus they have a well-stocked gift shop on the train theme for you to browse through afterwards. You're not going here for high brow cuisine, but if you want good honest tasty food - this will fit the bill.

COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE!!!!! We serve the BEST coffee in town!

Reviewed By BenLar137 - Calgary, Canada

We stopped by for a Sandwich to take on an outing and were disappointed. The sandwiches were $10, and they sounded good, but ended up with little flavour or taste. The mango chicken had just one small cube of mango, just lettuce, chicken, no spice. Bland, bland bland. While we waited a lengthy time for the sandwiches, we noticed that the walls and surfaces were very dirty (greasy, dusty). We can't imagine what the back looks like...
