Everything in Banff seems to be named after local wildlife, so you may be wondering if the Bison Restaurant actually serves bison. The answer is a resounding, Yes! You’ll find bison striploin, short ribs, rib-eye, bison burger and ragu on the menu, but that’s not all they have to offer. The Bison Restaurant prides itself on preparing farm-to-table meals featuring ingredients from local, family-run farms. Check out the curry-roasted cauliflower, escargot, elk poutine, spiced lamb rack or wild mushroom pizza. No matter what you you’re craving, you’ll always find something scrumptious on the menu. Because the focus is on fresh, local, and seasonal, the dishes are constantly changing, but you’ll never have to worry about finding something delicious to tickle your taste buds. 

Did I mention the views? Gorgeous. When the sun goes down and the mountains disappear, watch the chefs at work in the open kitchen. Yep, you really know where your food comes from when you dine at the Bison!

Once upon a time when I was farming, I raised lamb, which is when I acquired a taste for this most delicious of meats. It always makes me happy to see locally-produced lamb on the menu! At the Larkspur, Sungold Lamb from Alberta is served with green peas, picked mint, and heirloom carrots. (Confession: I was a tad disappointed the lamb is only offered as a small plate.) Then I spotted the salmon main (pesto-crusted and served with roasted cauliflower, chick peas, and tahini curry) and all was well in my world again. 

Local, sustainable, and in season offerings are the result of the farm-to-table philosophy underlying menu choices at the Larkspur. The charcuterie board reflects that approach with its assorted Valbella Meats, pickled veggies, spreads, and rustic bread. The result is distinctly regional and very Canadian— with a cosmopolitan flair.

Thank goodness a few smart farmers got their hands on Japanese Wagyu cattle before the breed was declared a National Treasure in Japan and exports were banned. That’s why you’ll find Brant Lake Wagyu beef kabobs on the starters menu at Divas and can save yourself a trip to Japan in search of this most delectable of  meats. Prefer a decadent salad? Try the baby spinach salad with sliced crispy apples, dried cranberries, walnuts, and double crème brie. Travelling with children? Ask for a kids’ menu for your youngsters 12 and under. 


Don’t miss a visit to the Divas Cocktail lounge and sip a Marilyn Monroe Cosmo (raspberry vodka & Chambord -- a black raspberry liqueur-- shaken with cranberry & pineapple juice - saucy and sweet, just like Marilyn). Movie buffs will love playing I Spy with the photos of Hollywood divas! (Open most weekends)
