Vistas Dining Room - Banff, Alberta

La vue est belle (montagnes, animaux,...). Le café est perfectible ainsi que, occasionnellement, le jus d'orange. On apprécie la saucisse viennoise et plus generalement la diversité du buffet, mais non conseillera tout de même de préférer le Wine Bar voisin - à toute heure - notamment son cocktail 1933

Great breakfast buffet and some of the best restaurant views in Banff. The buffet had lots of selection and even gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian options. We wished there was toast, but there were other pastries and French toast. Unfortunately, the service was not great. The servers paid little attention and it took a long time to get coffee.

Very disappointed by our evening visit here. The food wasn't particularly good. The choice of starters was the best bit, the mains were very lacking (two of the options were quite dried out quesodillas and the other a fairly oily porc mince dish) and desserts quite dry. It felt very expensive at $45 per person. We also we went because of the view, but there were so many lights on in the dining room you couldn't really see out of the window to enjoy the view in the evening. Overall wouldn't recommend to visit. The bistro on site is a much better option.

Unforgettable food - Unforgettable view

I’m at the Banff Centre for meetings every couple years and have been coming for 18 years and the Vista Dining room is what wows our groups each time.

Creative food, every day!

Even the eggs each morning are so consistent: Creamy, fluffy, heaven.

They often make fresh ice cream, it is always unforgettable.

The staff are so polite and hospitable.

But here’s the thing - it’s called “Vistas” for a reason. Good gracious that view!!!!

There’s a walkway outside the main doors coming in and each day, I love to watch people pause, look at the view and it’s so clear that in that moment they are grateful to be alive.

*Secret tip if you’re in a big group. They put down pitchers of ice tea and lemonade but if you want a soda, just ask. Most people figure this out after a couple days. Let me save you that time.

Went for dinner here last Saturday night. We try to make a point of trying somewhere new to eat each time we go to Banff. This place did not disappoint! A stunning restaurant with amazing views. Polite, attentive staff, and the food was amazing. Good value , especially for Banff. This may be a place we visit more than once!!

The food was so bad. My family and I visited this “ all you can eat” restaurant as part of our visit to Banff. The food was so limited. For appetizers the only available options were mashed potatoes, steamed corn, and tofu stuffed portobello mushrooms. Nothing special about any of them. Main courses were horrible. There was some sort of cod fish available but it was way too salty that we couldn’t eat the rest after taking a bite. The duck lasagna was at best a 5/10 and the chicken was extermely dry. The tomato soup was very bland and the salads including the pasta and beans salad were rotten and felt like leftovers from last night. The deserts and service were okay hence the 2 stars. The view was also fantastic and all non-alcoholic drinks were included. Keep in mind, you pay for the food upon entering the restaurants which is uncommon . If you are going for the view, definitely go for it but if you are going for the food AVOID at all costs since my family and I left this “ all you can eat” restaurant hungry.

Pay $50 including tax and tips? This is what I get? All the foods are gone and they do not refill at all!!! They only left some sauce and rice! This is a total total scam! Banff Center arts and creativity should compensate my meal! This is a total waste of time
