The restaurant occupies one side of the chalet, while the other side has a more pub-like atmosphere. I was impressed to find that the California rolls were made with real crab, a first for me as someone who has sampled sushi in various cities throughout my life. The fish was incredibly fresh and flavorful, thanks to being shipped here three times a week from Vancouver. The service was friendly and efficient, and although the portions were on the smaller side, it was probably for the best not to overeat while skiing. The pricing was average, making it a worthwhile option for those looking for something different than the typical fries and burgers. I would definitely recommend trying this restaurant for a unique dining experience.

As Asians, we are always searching for good ramen or rice dishes, and this was a true gem. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. It couldn't have been any better. Thank you, Kuma Yama.

They offer a kids menu, perfect for parents who want to enjoy sushi or ramen while their children prefer kid-friendly options. The service was quick and extremely friendly. I will definitely return here on my next skiing trip to the Lake!

The ramen restaurant is a nice change however the core catering is only ok and not very efficient - compared to other places in Canada and Europe.There is good storage and self catering areas. Other handy services include rentals, repairs, ski school, guest services, guides and patrol.Right in front of the lodge are chair lift, gondola and beginners area.

Haven't been to Lake Louise in some time but I've always enjoyed having lunch at the Lodge of the Ten Peaks. read more Haven't been to Lake Louise in some time but I've always enjoyed having lunch at the Lodge of the Ten Peaks.
