After a fun free concert at the Banff Center, we headed over to this Bistro. Service was fast and friendly, and the food was good and reasonably priced.We were looking to get away from the massive tourist throng in downtown Banff, and this place fit the bill perfectly. We sat inside right at the window, but the patio would have been a great choice too.There are meat and vegan options, and everything in between. My husband had a pizza/flatbread and I had the greek mezze salad plate-- both great.If we ever found ourselves in Banff again, we'd definitely go back.

We had the wild mushroom flat bread pizza here, and it was really good. Both the pizza and the beer were reasonably priced for a hotel bar. They have something of a monopoly because downtown Banff is a 15 minute hike away through the hills and woods. Decor is very modern and the view is excellent. You can sit at regular tables, high chair tables, high chair bar, or sofas with coffee tables, or outside. Be aware that you will get late afternoon sun in many locations in the bistro.
