Canmore Restaurants

Canmore is often described as one of Canada’s most desirable places to live. It’s setting amongst stunning mountain peaks and its many outdoor activities are big reasons why. But an equally vibrant restaurant scene is an added bonus.

Special Mention

The Balkan

Spoiler alert: not in Canmore, but worth visiting if you’re in Banff. This is easily one of the most authentic Greek restos we’ve encountered in Canada. Go for the rabbit; stay for the moussaka. Thank us later.

Our Favourites

Each of these restaurants holds a special place in our hearts.  Often, it’s more than just the food itself. It’s the richness of culture, the wonderful people behind the scenes, the way a spot makes us feel at home.

We have eaten at each of these places, and genuinely loved our experience! 

Georgetown Pub

  • Link
  • Canmore
Located in the historic Georgetown Inn, this pub is justifiably famous for its “hiker/climber fuel” breakfasts and pub grub. While you’re there check out the hiking & climbing gear and photos that adorn the walls throughout the pub.

PD3

  • Canmore
Operated by Blake, this “Bustaurant” (don’t call it a Food Truck!) is located in the heart of downtown. Come for the outstanding fusion tacos (they play well with Korean flavours), but other hot grill options are available. Great setting and staff; all round good vibes.

Crazyweed

  • Canmore
Arguably Canmore’s best fine dining experience, Crazyweed (no, not *that* weed!) offers an imaginative menu in a refined yet relaxed atmosphere. Great cocktails and extensive wine list too!

Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co.

  • Link
  • Canmore
The name says it all – well, almost. Great flatbreads for sure, but also delicious pizza, a wide selection of craft beer, cider and wine. All in a high energy, fast paced space. Very popular, so line ups happen – but worth the wait.

Where The Buffalo Roam

  • Link
  • Canmore
Relaxed, casual resto and bar with a nice small patio on the Main Street. Specializing in quality cocktails inspired by local spirits, and great draft beer. And the food’s well worth the visit (try the fish & chips!).

Cafes

Because coffee is life.

Beamers

  • Canmore
A funky, spunky local coffee shop serving up great in-house coffee, sandwiches, sweet treats and boozy drinks. Also packaged coffee for the Beamer’s taste at home. A must-visit while in Canmore.
