Description

The Alpha Bistro at the Banff Rocky Mountain Resort offers a mixed dining experience. The decor is inviting, with a lovely mountain view on the patio. Happy hour drinks are a good value, but some menu items fall short, like the disappointing chicken wings. Breakfast options are average, but convenient. Service can be slow due to limited staff handling multiple tasks. Despite this, the hidden gem status, delicious food, and reasonable prices make it worth a visit, especially for guests of the resort. Overall, the Alpha Bistro is a good alternative to the crowded Banff townsite for a relaxed meal.

I waited for a while to get my appetizer and then waited again for my main course. The only staff members working were taking orders, serving food, cleaning up, handling bills, and trying to keep up with checking people's IDs and vaccination status for COVID protocols. Some customers were entering the restaurant while the waitresses were busy with other tasks.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and it's never too crowded. I highly recommend it, especially for those staying at the Rocky Mountain Resort. Even when the townsite is packed with long lines for other restaurants, we have always been able to find a table here for a fantastic meal.

The restaurant offers a small menu at affordable prices. The dishes were served hot and provided a great alternative for those looking to avoid going into town.

Never heard of this place before as it's not your typical Chili's or The Keg however the food was most excellent!

On a recent stay at Banff Rocky Mountain Resort, we decided to take food out to our cabin and have it in front of the fire. The restaurant and bar though attractive seemed very quiet (it is shoulder season) and the menu simple. We enjoyed...our meals so much we did this a second time. Schnitzel, Butter Chicken, Fish and Chips and Beef Bourguignon and had a couple of lovely cozy nights. Compliments to the Chef! It did take a few minutes to be acknowledged by staff the first time.
