John Marriott´s Best 5 Restaurants in Banff and Canmore

Banff, Alberta

Banff and Canmore have some of the greatest restaurants in the Rockies. It is all well and good to choose a restaurant at random and hope you get lucky. You can also use the tourist guidebooks, who have visited the places once a few years before. However, if you want to go where the locals regularly go, who better to advise you than the Rockies’ resident photographer John Marriot. Here are his five favourite restaurants around Banff and Canmore.

1. Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company

This place is really unique. It has some delicious flatbread pizzas and great salads. It is light fare, healthy and the service is really great.

2. Crazyweed

Crazyweed has some great curries and international dishes. It is a little higher end but worth it. Call ahead for reservations as it’s popular!!

3. Famous Chinese Restaurant

Not only is this the best Chinese food in town, it is also the best ethnic food in town. It is inexpensive too

4. The Trough

This is the best high end food in town. It has a wonderful atmosphere, superb food and an excellent wine selection.

5. Rose and Crown

Come here for the best burger in Canmore, bar none.  There’s also a Rose and Crown in Banff and even one in Calgary!!
