Scenery plays a big part in the culinary experience of the Alberta Rockies. Stunning lakes, snow-capped peaks and glacially carved valleys are as much an accompaniment to any table as are wine and dessert. It was, after all, the area’s spectacular surroundings that first brought visitors to the Rockies and its historic hotels and national parks speak to the region’s current status as one of Canada’s premier tourist destinations. Today, its dishes reflect its admirers and dining in the mountains of Alberta is a feast of opportunity for those who like variety with their view. Stretching from Jasper in the north to Waterton in the south, the region offers up menus inspired by both its visitors from around the globe and its home in the enigmatic Canadian West.
BANFF
The jewel in the crown is the small but world-renowned tourist destination of Banff. Located 120 km (75 mi) west of Calgary, Banff has big-city sophistication despite its small, mountain-village size. Surrounded by peaks like Mount Cascade, Sulphur Mountain and Mount Rundle, the town’s culinary landscape is as diverse as its visitors. Whether it’s contemporary cuisine from Thailand or Greece, traditional dishes from France or Switzerland, or local Albertan burgers and West Coast seafood, Banff satisfies.
And it’s not just mere appetites that are tempted but discerning diners with discerning tastes. Distinguished, upscale dining at the Rimrock Resort Hotel pairs gourmet cuisine with breathtaking views and refined spaces. The hotel has won numerous awards for wine, service and food, and offers both elegant and casual environments, including one of Western Canada’s most celebrated dining rooms and a martini jazz lounge.
