Award-winning fine dining abounds in Canmore! And you need not dress up anywhere Check at the motel office for take-out or eat-in menus. Many restaurants are closed Monday or Tuesday.

The Trough, Crazyweed Kitchen, the Quarry and neighbourhood favourites Chez Francois and Treo’s have all won kudos for great dinner fare. Murrieta’s, French Quarter Café, Flatbread Co., Famous Chinese, Santa Lucia and Toshy’s offer eclectic to mainstream, palate-pleasing food. And don’t overlook the deli cafes for great bites – Bagel Co., (a locals’ happening spot), the Coffee Mine (you might wait a while), Mercado (amazing paninis), Harvest (freshly prepared, yummy and child-friendly lunch stop) Mountain Juice Café (get your daily boost), Communitea (another socializing/treating opportunity), Beamer’s Coffee Bar (cuppa java ‘n more), Railway Deli (cafeteria style, buffet choices) and Valbella Deli Café (tasty, healthy soup/sandwich selections in Elk Run). Chez Francois offers the best breakfast menu and Toshy’s welcomes families early morn to later evening. The feasting continues at the Georgetown pub, the Drake pub and Boston Pizza, not to mention the big hotel lounges. You would need a full month’s vacation of dining out to do them all – bon appetite!
