About the restaurant

' ..... Welcome to Bluebird, a wood-fired steakhouse featuring the best of Alberta beef including your favorite classic cuts and all-day-roasted Prime rib. Bluebird is where brunch and cocktails collide into fireside lunch which glides into happy hour and then swooshes into dinner where the après begins. With the fire stoked high, we are ready for you to ski through the front door and tell us all about it. It’s always a bluebird day in our mid-century chalet.

We had an amazing experience! From the food to the service and the seating everything was terrific. Food was delicious and quickly came to us. Server was great! He knew the menu well and had great recommendations for us. And we were seated at a good indoor space with a nice view of the mountains and downtown Banff. Overall great experience and would certainly visit again!

About the restaurant

At Farm and Fire we believe that good food doesn’t have to be complicated. Our menu features only the freshest ingredients from local Canadian farmers. Because it’s slow roasted and wood-fired, we bring out the natural flavours Mother Nature intended. Come enjoy our warm and open modern dining space. Toast with friends by the warmth of the fire and stay for a while. Or, order your food to go and dine wherever you like, at your own pace.

*PLEASE NOTE, WE HAVE LOTS OF SPACE FOR WALK-INS*
