What idash doesn't like about Fairview Lounge:
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. What Pim van Kamperdijk likes about Fairview Lounge:
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!!!?? View all feedback.

My husband and I discovered this place after a long day of hiking, and we LOVED it! The view from the patio is to die for.

Came here after a canoe session out at Lake LouiseWe were seated quickly and the place was way less busy compared to Fairmont's restaurant upstairs.

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.
