Fairview Restaurant - Banff
Fairview Restaurant
Description
The restaurant, set in a beautiful location overlooking Lake Louise, offers a mix of experiences for diners. While some customers have raved about the food and friendly staff, others have been disappointed by slow service, lackluster vegan options, and watery sorbet. Pricey dishes are expected at a luxury hotel, but the portions and flavors seem to vary. Overall, the setting and views are stunning, with attentive servers like Eric and Kristin standing out for their good recommendations and service. The restaurant offers a mix of classic and tempting dishes, from fondue with black truffle to Braised Beef Crostini, with some surprises along the way such as a generous cheese platter and complimentary chocolates for special occasions. Despite some inconsistencies in service and quality, the restaurant seems worth a visit for its scenic views and cozy atmosphere.

Great views of the lake and food/drinks were delicious
The view from this restaurant out was so beautiful. We all got the bison ravioli, which was delicious, but I could have had a bit larger potion or a side. The desserts were fine.
There are signs everywhere warning people who aren’t guests to stay off the premises.Ignore them, and drop in here for a coffee, souvenirs, or a surprisingly good lunch (the bison ravioli was superb).They have an app to book your slot, but we just turned up and were seated, served quickly, and given a great meal for lunch at a decent price.While you’re waiting enjoy the extraordinary view, and the hotel surrounds (but the extensive building work makes it unpleasant to sit outside right now).There’s also a grab and go with decent coffee, rolls, salads and massive pastries.Well worth the stop, even if you can’t afford to stay here.Dietary restrictions: A good range of GF option, and staff were totally on top of this.
One of the best meals and experiences I’ve ever had in Canada. Highly recommend!! Everything is perfect — the food, the service, the price, and the stunning view?????10/10 to our server, Nicholas!!!??
Our server Eric was fantastic and gave lovely recommendations. We really enjoyed our seated tuna and mezza bowl. Both dishes did not compromise on flavour and were filling. Eric also gave us a lot of advice about activities in the area and his own tips! Would definitely recommendVegetarian options: Very good Mecca bowl with a lot of flavour. Good portion size.
