Slow Down and Fully Embrace the Dining Experience

Frog legs contain a surprisingly large number of bones… Proceed with caution!

There are some meals that are impossible to eat fast. Frog legs comes to mind when I think of a meal I had no choice but to consume slowly. The fact we were sitting in a sidewalk café in the Latin Quarter in Paris when my platter of frog legs á là Parisienne arrived at the table no doubt contributed to my willingness to sit still and savour my meal. The passersby - mostly tourists, provided an endless stream of entertainment as they stopped in the middle of the street, took photos, consulted maps, and perused the menus on display.

We had spent the morning poking around in the Latin Quarter and chatted happily about what we’d seen and where we might head after our late lunch. We looked at the photos we’d taken on our phones and flipped through a small guidebook I’d found that featured all the covered passages in Paris. It was easy to sit, relax, and enjoy the meal even though our day was full.

FOODIE FACT: Frog legs prepared in Paris-style are first boiled in water with lemon juice, salt and pepper. After they’ve been cooked and drained, they’re dipped in eggs, rolled in bread crumbs, and then fried. 

Impossible to Gobble a Frog Leg

The taste and texture of frog legs are vaguely chicken-esque, but what really slows a person down (beyond that fabulous Parisian ambiance) is the sheer number of small bones one encounters. There is no way to eat your way through a pile of frog legs except by using your fingers and proceeding slowly. 

I’m not sure I’ll have another plateful because I’ve since learned that the world’s appetite for frog legs has taken a serious toll on the world’s frog populations. What I will try to do, however, is not rush through my meals. Instead, these days I savour every mouthful in the way I savoured each delicate nibble I extricated from those tiny bones during that lovely afternoon in Paris. Too often, we rush through our meals, grabbing something on the go, not always taking the time to sit down and really enjoy each mouthful of our meal. 

One of my goals for 2020 is to slow down and take more time for food - whether that means putting on some music and preparing a meal in the kitchen at home or figuring out when and how to carve out time for a meal in a restaurant with someone (or several someones) whose company I enjoy. 

Here in the Bow Valley, we’re fortunate to have so many restaurants to choose from (have a browse through our online menus to see what’s available). If there’s something we enjoy as much as eating, it’s chatting about good food. We’re always eager to hear about your dining experiences - leave a comment and let us know where you love to go out and eat and why? What makes a really great meal? How do you make sure you find the time to share meals with those whose company you enjoy? 

If you haven’t already done so, make sure you join our local dinner clubs - we have one in Banff and one in Canmore. Watch for updates here in this blog as well as in our Facebook groups. You never know where we may be dining next, but one thing you can count on - we won’t be rushing through our meals!   

Outside the Box - Fresh Starts and Fine Breakfasts in Canmore

Pull up a seat and let’s talk breakfast… (Image: Table Food and Drink - Coast Hotel in Canmore)

Is salad for breakfast a thing? According to the number and variety of very green options on local menus first thing in the morning, I’d have to say yes. Until recently, I might have headed out for breakfast fully expecting I’d wind up with bacon and eggs, or some such fare. I didn’t think I was into veggies for breakfast.

Communitea
1001 6th Avenue

That was before I discovered the amazing breakfast bowls on offer at Communitea. I’ve had lots of chances to sample the offerings over the past months as the Bow Valley Women Entrepreneurs networking group meets at Communitiea every Tuesday morning. The parade of deliciousness that arrives at the table each week goes way beyond what one might expect at a coffee shop (muffins and other baked goods) and moves into the realm of the sublime. 

The Big Breakfast Bowl involves farm scrambled eggs, avocado, quinoa, spiced black ben mix, sweet potato, tomato, chipotle and tomato chili sauces on spinach… and, there’s a vegan option (substituting tofu scramble for the eggs). Smoothies garnished with fresh fruit, berry compote with house-made granola, breakfast burritos or paninis with bacon and eggs - it’s all good, healthy, fresh, and delicious. 

Bonus for a tea lover like me, you can’t beat the selection of loose-leaf teas lined up in those pleasingly symmetrical canisters.  

Green Eggs and Kale at Freshii in Canmore

Freshii
300 Old Canmore Road

Walk into Freshii and you are surrounded by fresh, healthy, nutritious meal options starting with green smoothies (your salad in liquid form). It’s no wonder these guys are fond of their slogan, Eat! Energize! Just looking at the food here makes me feel healthier! 

The breakfast menu is reasonably priced and oh, so, tasty - Ranchero Burritos, Steak Egg and Cheese Burritos, Spinach Mushroom and Cheese Pockets - there’s a bit of a Mexican-inspired theme to be sure.

Green Eggs and Kale is a bowl full of power foods and the Cali Smoothie Bowl is just plain yummy! What’s not to love about fresh fruit, yogurt, and shredded coconut?

Looking for a hit of protein? Go straight for the hard-boiled eggs. Or, try the Metaboost plate of spinach, kale and field greens, goat cheese, mango, almonds, carrots, edamame, all drizzled with a hit of balsamic vinaigrette. 

For something light and playful, you also have the option of frozen yogurt, various nutrient-loaded smoothies, or Freshii juices. Interested in a juice cleanse? Well, Freshii can you help you out there, too. Pick up a 5-day supply of juices in several varieties and super-charge your body’s nutrient intake. 

Table Food and Drink
511 Bow Valley Trail

Table Food and Drink at the Coast Hotel has plenty to offer diners at any time of day, but start things off on a good foot by stopping in for breakfast. 

When I was a kid, one of my all-time favourite breakfasts involved silver dollar pancakes. Diminutive hotcakes seem to be enjoying a new incarnation at Table Food and Drink as Loonie Pancakes. Served with syrup and fruit, you’ll find these on the kids’ breakfast menu. 

For grown-up appetites, Smoked Salmon Benedict or Steak and Eggs will take care of even the hungriest members of the family. Looking for gluten-free options? Just ask and your server will be happy to let you know what variations are available.  

Sage Bistro
1712 Bow Valley Trail

Another great option if you are looking for a delectable weekend brunch in Canmore is Sage Bistro. With its charming log interior, big windows with mountain views and a superb menu, Sage Bistro is all about ambiance, good food and excellent service. 

For nearly thirty years, this family-run restaurant has been tickling tastebuds in both the main floor restaurant and upstairs in the wine bar. Quality ingredients from local sources mean you really do get to enjoy a taste of the mountains - both on your plate and by soaking up those mountain views. 

Weekend brunch is popular with locals. Sure, you can always go for the tried and true eggy favourites (omelettes,  sausages and eggs, and so on), but don’t be afraid of cool alternatives like a Hippie Bowl (warm quinoa, arugula, tomato, corn, organic wild mushrooms, citrus tahini and 2 sunny-side-up eggs) or the Wild Pig Bowl that combines wild boar bacon with potato wedges, Sylvan Star gouda, tomatoes, and red peppers). There are plenty of other options, too - ricotta pancakes, croissants, quiche, banana bread French toast… the list is long!  

Come prepared to stay awhile, linger over coffee, and make plans for the rest of your day exploring the Bow Valley.

Weekend Brunch for Late Starters

Aroma Mexican Restaurant
837 Main Street

During the week (Tuesday - Friday), Aroma Mexican Restaurant is only open for dinner (from 5 pm), but Friday, Saturday and Sunday, head on over to Aroma for a late brunch starting at 11:30. This is slow-style, authentic Mexican cooking at its best. Everything is prepared fresh from scratch, so plan to sit, relax, and enjoy some good conversation with your companions.

You’ll find all your favourites here - burritos, enchiladas, and tacos plus salads and treats like garlic prawns, calamari, and ceviche Matzatlan (raw basa fish marinated with fresh lime juice mixed with pico de gallo—tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeño peppers— served with house-made corn tortilla chips). Wonderful family-cooking and service - you’ll soon feel like you’re part of the family yourself!

Don’t forget to put on one of the sombreros and snap a photo!

Best Breakfasts in Banff

Bennies for Breakfast at the Bison! The Bison offers Sunday brunch every week from 10 a - 2 pm at 211 Bear Street in Banff.

I love breakfast. A good one will put me in a great mood for the whole day. At home, I’m pretty boring when it comes to the first meal of the day. I never skip it, but it’s often simple - some banana loaf (I make a really good one with nut flours and a lot of eggs, so it’s pretty hearty fare) or, if I’m in a hurry, all-natural crunchy peanut butter thickly spread on rice cakes. Whatever the food selection might be, I wash it all down with a couple of cups of tea.

When I travel, though - the breakfast possibilities open way up. 

Sometimes I default to two eggs, over easy with hash browns and toast (these days, I often look for gluten-free toast), but when I have a little time and the menu options look good, well, the sky’s the limit. 

Steak and eggs? Sure - add a little grilled tomato and I’m a happy camper. Sometimes, granola, fresh fruit, and Greek yogurt are exactly what I’m craving.

Even though I don’t drink coffee at home, it’s a real treat when I’m on the road. On the Camino in Spain a couple of years ago, every morning began with a glass of freshly-squeezed orange juice, a latte, and frittata. Oh, those were some fine meals to start off each day of walking!

Though it’s only 20 minutes down the road from where I live, going to Banff can seem like I’m on a road trip. I sure enjoyed my bowl of fruit, granola and yogurt at Wild Flour Bakery when I was there a couple of weeks ago. 

Perhaps my all-time favourite breakfast/brunch treat is a good breakfast buffet. Then I can indulge myself and enjoy a little salmon, or sausages and eggs, perhaps a waffle with strawberries and freshly whipped cream or maybe a little of everything! 

In Banff, there are more breakfast options than you can shake a can of bear spray at - not that I’d recommend you try taking a can of bear spray to breakfast - but you know what I mean. Here are just a few to get you started…

Coyotes Southwestern Grill
206 Caribou St

Coyotes in Banff features an interesting (in a good way) blend of Canadian and southwestern decor. Friendly, laid back, and casual, the prices are reasonable and the breakfasts delicious.

Try the Huevos Rancheros or, if you’re starving hungry, the Mountain Man breakfast. With a couple of eggs, wild berry pancakes, oven-roasted potatoes and your choice of Canadian bag bacon, strip bacon or spicy chorizo sausage, by the time you wash down the last mouthful with Coyote’s house roast dark coffee blend, you’ll be ready to take on whatever your day in the mountains has in store.

With lots of good gluten-free options (can you say GF French toast??), this is a great option for those in search of gluten-free alternatives. 

Wild Flour - Banff’s Artisan Bakery Café
211 Bear St

Whether you’re looking for a danish pastry or something more substantial (a panini on fresh-baked bread, for example), you’ll be happy you stopped in at this favourite brekkie hangout for Banff locals.  Wild Flour proudly uses free-range eggs, fresh vegetables and herbs, and bakery-fresh bread for their signature breakfast frittata sandwich. They have a variety of house-made granolas to choose from, which can be topped with berry compote and yogurt or milk. 

Crave Mountain Grill
222 Lynx Street

Looking for a great Sunday brunch? Crave Mountain Grill is hard to beat - and that’s even before you take the glorious mountain views into consideration.

The brunch features a wide selection of hot and cold entrées, salads, seafood, full breakfast selection including an omelet station, carving station and a wide variety of desserts, fruit and cheeses. Don’t miss the chocolate fountain!

Kids five and under get a free pass at the Sunday brunch as long as each child brings along a paying adult. Ordering á là carte? Try the Florentine Eggs Benedict with caramelized onions, spinach and smashed potatoes. 

Nourish Bistro
211 Bear Street

If you’re vegan or vegetarian, bacon has no place at the breakfast table. Fortunately, Nourish Bistro specializes in delicious vegan breakfasts like their Aloo Paratha which they describe as being ‘kinda like a potato pancake - unleavened dough mixed with potato and spices, served with olive oil-lemon arugula, roasted roma tomatoes and finished with tamarind chutney and vegan mint-cilantro yogurt. Also available with paneer cheese and mixed veggies (peas, carrot, bell pepper, corn and more).

Yep - this is real, good, wholesome food that will make your body, mind and spirit very happy. 

El Toro 
429 Banff Avenue

Known for their locals breakfast specials, El Toro offers consistently tasty meals with generous portions and reasonable prices.

Try the raspberry crepes with vanilla yogurt, a breakfast burrito or maybe a Spanish omelette.

Bring the whole family and start your day off right!  

Wildfire Grill
600 Banff Avenue

Stop on your way into the Wildfire Grill for a selfie with the big wooden bear and then continue on to your table where you’ll be able to satisfy all your breakfast desires at this restaurant located at the Inns of Banff.

The kids breakfast menu includes French Toast, Pancakes, Grilled Cheese or a Kids Mountain Breakfast with a scrambled egg with cheese, sausage, bacon, hash browns and toast. 

Lots here to pick from for all members of the family.

Juniper Bistro
1 Juniper Way

Offering one of the best brunches in Banff, the Juniper Bistro can certainly provide you with eggs cooked as you please (served with Valbella farmhouse sausage and bacon), but why stick to the tried and true when you can branch out and try something a little more exotic?

How about getting adventurous with the grilled avocado served with poached egg, charred corn, crumbled Crystal Springs feta, oven-dried tomatoes and sourdough bread? Or a Juniper Benny with bannock, braised rabbit, buffalo mozzarella, juniper berry glaze, 2 poached eggs, hollandaise, and brown butter hash?

Go on. Live a little! The Juniper Bistro offers various gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and vegetarian options for those with special dietary requirements. 

The menu at the Juniper never fails to surprise and delight!

Charlotte and the Quail: A Hidden Gem in The Other Gardens

Sometimes, you need to know where to look to find the special little places…

Ask people anywhere in the world what they know about Victoria and it’s quite likely they’ll mention the Butchart Gardens. Yes, Butchart is certainly worth a visit, but there’s another garden on the peninsula that I love just as much. maybe more, if I’m being perfectly honest. 

Nestled in the midst of farms on the Saanich Peninsula, Glendale Gardens is an oasis of calm just minutes from downtown Victoria.

Glendale Gardens on Quayle Road is home to the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific and provides many pathways perfect for strolling through a series of themed gardens including a winter garden (with a huge selection of heathers that bloom early in the season), a Japanese garden, a children’s garden, and growing spaces set aside for vegetables, fruit trees, and berries. 

Some of that food winds up in dishes served at Charlotte & the Quail, the onsite cozy eatery which serves breakfast, lunch, coffee, and sweets from 9 am to 3 pm from Tuesday through Sunday. 

Soup’s on! No matter what the chef has cooked up on any particular day, it’s always good!

The emphasis on the menu is fresh, local, and wholesome. Delicious is a natural outcome of that farm-to-table philosophy. During the cooler, wetter months, the inside seating is comfy and cozy. During the warmer months, sitting outside under the pergola is positively heavenly. Surrounded by the gardens, the peace and quiet you’ll find here is so nurturing you’ll be happy to linger over your dessert (cashew cheesecake, for example) and cup of Silk Road Tea. 

Sourcing as many ingredients as possible from local farms, you never know exactly what will be on the menu - that’s what local, seasonal eating is all about. No matter when you come to visit, expect rich, tasty soups, sandwiches, savoury pies as well as standards like their famous oatmeal pancakes.   

When the server offers the seedy bread toast, you aren’t just getting bread with a few seeds sprinkled on top - what arrives at the table is a nutty, gluten-free, low carb offering that’s as unique as this tucked away eatery on the Saanich Peninsula.

Combined with fresh, house-made soup, and chased with a piece of apple and carrot cake topped with whipped cream for dessert, you’ll find yourself delighted and surprised by just how good the food is at Charlotte & Quail.   

Wondering about the restaurant’s name? Charlotte the cat has been a fixture in the gardens for years and loves to socialize with visitors - she was happy to lend her name to this dining endeavour. Busy quail strut around the gardens as if they own the place and, of course, Glendale Gardens are located on Quayle Road. 

Access to Charlotte & Quail is via the same parking lot as used by Glendale Gardens and you’ll get a discount to the gardens (which are a screaming good deal to begin with) if you show your same day dining receipt when you buy your entrance ticket.

Glendale Gardens (and Charlotte & Quail) are surrounded by hiking trails, farmland, and lakes about 11 kilometres from Victoria. Consider riding your bike from downtown along good bike paths all the way to the gardens (there’s a bike rack and repair stand in the parking lot). Stop for lunch, stroll through the botanical gardens to see what’s growing before heading home again. You’ll feel as though you’ve taken a trip to a magical land far, far away and return from your adventure refreshed, recharged, and well-nourished - body, mind, and spirit.  

Curries in Canmore

Coconut Curry from Spice Hut in Canmore - Just what’s needed to warm up on a cold winter day!

When I was a kid I was scared of curry. I thought every curry dish was tongue-numbingly spicy and I wanted no part of tasting something I thought would make me cry. Boy. Did I miss out!

Curry, a general term that refers to a wide variety of dishes from the Indian subcontinent certainly can be spicy, but heat (from the addition of fresh or dried chilies) is not an essential ingredient.

Mild curries are just as satisfying as their hot counterparts, their delicious flavour coming from spices like coriander, turmeric, and cumin. Curry tree leaves may also be used in certain dishes.

FOODIE FACT: Curries may be wet or dry. Allow most of the liquid to cook away and evaporate and the result is a dry curry where the other ingredients wind up being coated with spices. Wet curries are more saucy and may include ingredients like coconut milk, cream, tomato purée or yogurt. 

In terms of what might else might be included in a curry, the list is long. Meat-lovers can enjoy dishes featuring lamb, goat, beef, chicken, or seafood while vegetarians have plenty of options with curry dishes that may feature all kinds of vegetables, lentils, chickpeas, or tofu.

Currie lovers in Canmore have lots of choices when it comes to finding fine-tasting curry dishes. Try these restaurants for starters:  

Mad Dog Café
The Shops of Canmore

Famous for authentic curries, during the winter months the Mad Dog Café celebrates the first Friday of each month with a curry night. At $30.00 a person, this is a great deal for the curry-lover. Choose from five different curries (three meat and two vegetarian options) served up with samosas, naan bread, chutneys, and a papadums. Arrive hungry and tuck in! 

Want to try preparing fabulous curries at home? Check out the spice kits for sale at the Mad Dog marketplace.

Indian Authentic Cuisine
F-1702 Bow Valley Trail

Walk into Indian Authentic Cuisine and start to salivate - the scent of spices wafting from the kitchen is irresistible!

The word vindaloo is derived from Portuguese words meaning ‘wine’ and ‘garlic’ but has come to be associated with a spicy dish that often features lamb, beef, chicken and potatoes. If you like lamb, try the Lamb Vindaloo at Indian Authentic and savour the hot, sour vinegar gravy flavoured with Goan spices. 

Can’t decide what to have? Order a variety of dishes (like this mango chicken option from Spice Hut) and share with friends.

Spice Hut
1310 Bow Valley Trail

Prefer prawns? Try the Coconut Prawn Curry at Spice Hut where your curry options are plentiful. Curious about other Indian dishes? No problem - the extensive menu is perfect for ordering multiple dishes and then sharing family-style.

Do You Fondue? Celebrate Chocolate Fondue Day in Banff

I’m not sure why Chocolate Fondue Day is not a national holiday - it should be! I mean, spending hours dipping goodies into vats of melted chocolate is reason enough to take a day off work. Right?

Never had the pleasure of indulging your tastebuds with this most satisfying of taste experiences? Curious what people may wish to dip in oh-so-good melty chocolate? I could argue that there really isn’t a bad thing to dip in chocolate… but most often you’ll be offered bits of fruit (pineapple is particularly delectable dipped in warm chocolate, strawberries rather excellent, bits of melon - yummmmm… excuse me while I wipe the drool from my keyboard…), but cubes of bread or cake work as well. 

[Source]

Who Invented Fondue?

Who dreamed up this particular dish? You could be forgiven for thinking it must have been the brainchild of a French chef - heaven knows the French know how to play with chocolate and, yes, the word is derived from fondre, the French word for melt.

In fact, dipping stuff in melted cheese is a Swiss dish that dates back to the 1600s when bread was the dipping item of choice.

Chocolate fondue, though, was invented much more recently by Konrad Egli who owned the Chalet Suisse restaurant in New York.  In the 1960s he added a dessert version of traditional cheese fondues to the menu in part because he was involved with a sponsorship deal with the Toblerone chocolate company.

FOODIE FACT: While cheese fondues may be infused with wine, you’re more likely to find chefs adding a little rum or cherry brandy to a chocolate fondue. 

Ticino Swiss-Italian Restaurant in Banff is the locals go-to destination for fondue… cheese or chocolate (Image: Ticino Swiss-Italian Restaurant)

One of the things I love most about fondues (chocolate or cheese) is their communal nature.

Rather than each person having a bowl in which to dip, a single fondue pot perched over a  candle or other small flame in the middle of the table means everyone who gathers around the table to share the meal also shares the same fondue pot. Double-dipping isn’t encouraged, but that’s why the morsels used to load up and deliver chocolate to mouth are perfectly sized for a single mouthful of scrumptiousness. 

Don’t Drop Your Bread in the Fondue Pot!!!

Be warned, if you drop your bread off the end of your fondue fork and it disappears into the chocolate brew you’ll be penalized by running down Banff Avenue naked as a Canada jay.

Don’t believe me?

I speaketh the truth (sort of). Tradition does have it that bread-droppers are teased, made to sing songs, buy a round of drinks or, yes, take a sprint through the snow sans … well, anything. 

Sound like a super fun way to spend an evening with friends? Looking for great fondue in Banff? You can’t do much better than Ticino, Banff’s bona fide family-run Swiss-Italian restaurant. Their chocolate fondue (fonduta di cioccolata) is served with seasonal fruits and house-made banana bread. 

And, best news of all, they don’t wait until Chocolate Fondue Day to serve this house specialty! It’s on the menu year-round!

Oh. Yes. Please. So good, you’ll be tempted to eat dessert first!

It's Always Happy Hour Somewhere in Banff!

Beaver Bar
433 Banff Ave

Every hour is happy at the Beaver Bar! Cheap drinks, super-friendly staff, special events every night - the Beaver Bar is Banff’s best place to hang out after dark with a bunch of friends - those you arrived with and the new ones you’ll make.

There’s a reason Happy Hour is called Happy Hour! The prices are great, the vibe is excellent, it isn’t so late that everyone is falling off their barstools because they’re exhausted or have perhaps overindulged. (Unless, of course, you are partaking in a late Aprés ski special 

There’s something so satisfying knowing you’ve managed to get a great deal on something you’d happily pay twice as much to chow down on. Happy Hour specials make it easy to share with friends - and we all know that hanging out with our tribe of best buds is an instant mood booster. 

Specials often change day by day (Wings on Wednesday seems to be a thing…) so it’s worth reminding yourself of what day it is before you set your heart on a great deal on wings on… oh, say, a Thursday. 

Here are a few Happy Hour specials and locations that have caught my eye in Banff. There are plenty more… but this is a subject I’m happy to revisit from time to time. Have a favourite Happy Hour spot that’s not on this list? Leave a message in the comments or tag us on social (@TasteBanff) showing us just how happy you are while scarfing down a burger at Eddie’s or sipping your margarita at Chili’s.
