The mountains are known for outdoor adventure, but there is an excellent dining scene in this mountain town that will delight your tastebuds and fuel you adventures. Here are some of our top spots for great dining in Canmore.

An Evening Out

For an evening of fine dining, visit Rustica at Silvertip Resort. This restaurant is renowned for signature Prime Grade Alberta Raised Black Apron broiler specialties, signature cocktails, and some of the best views around. Perched on the mountainside, Rustica will give you a unique perspective on dining in Canmore.

Perfect Pizza

If you’re looking for that perfect slice of artisan pizza, look no further than Rocket Pie. Baked in a state-of-the-art stone fired oven with a New York finish, these pizzas are made from a fresh batch of special recipe dough made every day. The famous chili oil is now bottled in-house ready to take home. This family-owned restaurant is family-friendly, and they have both dine in and take out options.

Beautiful Breakfast

For one of the best breakfasts in town, try Chez François. Chef Jean François creates every meal from scratch using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. He uses unique handcrafted recipes, which he perfected over 35 years. Stop by for breakfast, lunch, or even brunch.

Burgers & Beer

Taste the craft at Fergus & Bix.  This downtown gem serves fresh, hand-made food with only the best quality ingredients and craft beer from local and regional breweries. They serve great portions for a good price and the atmosphere is casual and inviting. It will quickly become your favourite burger joint!

Three in One

BLAKE Brewhouse & Distillery has great dining, craft distilled spirits, and craft brewed beer under one roof. Enjoy creative international fusion cuisine and wash down your meal with the freshest beer in town that flows straight from the brewery to the taps. If a good spirit is more your style, try a double barrel negroni, a London dry gin, or a chipotle vodka.
