DINE ABOVE BANFF Anchored at over 2,200 meters above sea level, the Banff Gondola’s Sky Bistro sits on the summit of Sulphur Mountain. With six Rocky Mountain ranges as a backdrop, this remarkable restaurant promises an exhilarating gondola ride followed by a mountain top dining experience. Lunch and dinner menus celebrate the panorama of Canadian cuisine, with ingredients drawn from both ocean coasts, plus wholesome prairie staples including world-renowned Alberta beef. Complemented by local wine, beer and spirits, it makes for a unique dining experience above Banff.

    Of course, the view is spectacular, and although we had a window table, it can be seen through all the seating. Service was just right, friendly and present when needed. The food was excellent and memorable. Note, the sides (enhancements) are large enough to share. A meal to remember.

    The Octopus Starter that we ordered got over-grilled, have a strong charcoal burnt favour. and the Seafood Chowder that most ppl recommended was a bit salty and strong favour, a bit thickened, but seems was made by the flour. The Bison was ordered to make as "medium", but seems a bit overcooked as well.

    We had a wonderful dining experience! The food was delicious, and our server, John, went above and beyond to make our visit special. He was attentive, thoughtful, and even surprised my mom with a complimentary slice of cake for her birthday, which truly made her day. Thank you for the great service and warm hospitality!
