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 food options are… very limited. I felt this huge attitude in almost every one in staff (except for our hostess which was super nice) I expected so much more. Does not worth the bother to be honest. I’ll know better next time.

    First class service, scenery and food. If I could change anything it might have been to book for lunch instead of dinner, just to soak up the magnificent scenery.
