Menu

A complete menu of Fairview Restaurant from Banff featuring all 126 meals and drinks can be found here on the menu.

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.

What idash dislikes about Fairview Restaurant:
Before booking Lake Louise lodging, I looked up restaurants it seemed like I wouldn’t have a problem eating here. It has been very difficult with food other than salads. I’d recommend staying in Banff where it’s easy to eat, and coming here for a couple of day trips. #Veganuary View all feedback.

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.
