DINE ABOVE BANFF Anchored at over 2,200 meters above sea level, the Banff Gondola’s Sky Bistro sits on the summit of Sulphur Mountain. With six Rocky Mountain ranges as a backdrop, this remarkable restaurant promises an exhilarating gondola ride followed by a mountain top dining experience. Lunch and dinner menus celebrate the panorama of Canadian cuisine, with ingredients drawn from both ocean coasts, plus wholesome prairie staples including world-renowned Alberta beef. Complemented by local wine, beer and spirits, it makes for a unique dining experience above Banff.

The maitre-de, I believe his name was Jan, was awful. He choose to sit a couple without a reservation at a table on the window in front us who made a reservation months ago for our anniversary We were early to our reservation and he was rather un-accomadatung. He stated that Evan after sitting us at a second row table and something opened up at the window, he would not move us. People beware, this is a tourist trap and extremely overrated . Eat elsewhere . Your experience will be better than having to deal with this rude service.
