Head Smashed-In Cafeteria

This restaurant is a wonderful place to learn about the Indian practice of buffalo harvesting before the use of horses. The exhibits are excellent.

The food at the upstairs Cafe is really delicious! The historical background of the place is fascinating. It's also a great spot for families with kids. Our tour group received a guided tour which was a nice added touch.

We were thoroughly impressed with "Smashing Head Buffalo Jump." The experience exceeded our expectations.

They serve a range of dishes with buffalo meat which are pretty tasty but otherwise the menu is pretty limited. Vegetarian options are a veggie rice bowl (mainly steamed rice and stir fried peppers) and a veggie burger.

My family and I arrived at the interpretive Centre after 11 and I wondered what my lunch options would be in the area when the Trip Advisor showed me some great reviews of the cafeteria right on site! I figured I was doomed to a dish of grapes and a can of orange crush when we arrived, but a chat with the server about my wheat allergy produced a yummy bowl of bison chili and a gluten free bun that I had to compare to my daughter's hamburger bun to be sure it was wheat-free! The rest of the fam enjoyed bison stew, chicken fingers and a beef burger.
