About the restaurant

Lulu Bar is an escape from the ordinary. Its welcoming vibe is reminiscent of hidden gems from your last vacation, only better because it’s right here in your own backyard. With a healthy, Pacific-inspired menu, Lulu’s wood-fired food is light and fresh — but heavy on flavour.
Chef Joseph Sokoloff’s fare is a tribute to the Pacific Ocean and many of the regions that touch it, with influences from Asia to Hawaii, California to British Columbia. Lulu’s fun, light, and refreshing drink menu is equally well-travelled. Its wine, beer, and creative cocktail offerings will make you feel like you’re far from home — and we like that.

My Son takes me out each year for my Birthday. We try to dine at restaurants that have been on our list, but have not eaten at. Model Milk was this years choice. When we looked at the menu prior to our reservation nothing jumped out at us as an absolutely must try item. That all changed once we ordered and started eating, no started experiencing the dishes we had chosen. We both were blown away with absolute perfection. We ordered almost all of the small dishes and every one was delicious. To anyone who may read this, don’t judge a book , or in this case menu. By its cover. Model milk is now one of our favorite restaurants. EAT EVERYTHING! You won’t regret it.

Willow Park

About the restaurant

Our décor is warm and modern. The tradition has always been dark wood, leathers and a muted palette for a steakhouse. We broke the mould and decided to add hand-selected music that reflects us! We’re more like Jay Z and less like Sinatra.

We only serve ranch specific Alberta Beef. That means we don’t serve beef from anywhere else on the planet. We know our farmers and ranchers personally and respect the hard work they put in to produce our beef.

We are one of just a handful of steakhouses in Canada that serves, Grass-fed, Grain-fed, Wet-aged, Dry-aged and Wagyu beef 365 days a year. Our beef is always fresh never frozen.

We use a 1800 degree Infrared Grill to cook your steaks. The high heat creates a flavourful crust on the outside of the steak and leaves a juicy centre.

Second time here. First time in September … had great food and service and vowed to be back. We did in December. Roasted broccoli is still GREAT. So is the duck with a hint of curry. This restaurant is a “must try” if you come to Banff and stay for dinner. Wife and I will come back again next year.
