Local Guide

Where to eat in Canmore

Canmore has more restaurants than a town its size should. This is the short list we send to guests — no filler.

Rocky Mountain Bagel Co.

Morning coffee

The Canmore breakfast standard. Great espresso, huge bagels, quick line even when it's busy.

Casual lunch

Bright, healthy bowls and wraps. Good for a mid-hike refuel or a laptop hour.

Casual dinner

Elk burgers, wood-fired pizzas and a big patio in summer. Reliable with kids in tow.

Dinner with a view

The postcard mountain view from the deck is the reason to go. Book ahead in summer.

Après-ski

Local beer, big pub menu, right on Main Street. Easy stop on the way back from the hill.

Special occasion

Tasting-menu spot inside a converted double-decker bus. Small; reservations essential.
