We were initially really excited about this place. Wait staff was friendly, and our salad came out pretty quickly. Then….the wait… We really don’t know why it took so long because we had brussel sprouts, the beef cheek which cooks all day according to waitress, and duck. The brussel sprouts came out cold and to me, the duck was cold too(husband thought it was okay). I think we just caught this place on a bad night.

We had a great time during Brunch at the Juniper Bistro! Our waiter Clarence talked us through the menu and we were so happy with his suggestions! We enjoyed the amazing view at a window table and it was mesmerizing. You can really tell, that high-quality ingredients are used! Great taste!

Best brunch you’ll ever get. Period. As long as you get the Juniper Benny and the Stiffed French Toasts, of course! Clarence provided the most attentive service you’ll get, and being slightly outside Banff is a big asset if you’re driving and want to avoid getting into town - or simply need a break from it!

Our previous experiences at this restaurant have been excellent It was a beautiful morning out on the patio Food presentation was good. This time however, our server was not enjoying her job. Although she inquired as to our food, she did not wait for an answer and had already moved on. When a request for a coffee / water refill wa made, it seemed the request was forgotten.

The Juniper Bistro is nestled in bottom of the mountainside facing Banff and has a cozy ambiance that complements the beautiful scenery. Our waiter was extremely accommodating; one of our diners had a food sensitivity and the waiter and chef were eager to guide them towards safe meals and to make minor meal alterations. The menu was intriguing, though it was a little confusing about how many plates we should order. The squash ravioli, mushrooms, crab croquettes and salmon were all delicious! If I'm ever back in Banff, I would happily return to Juniper Bistro.

After a long hike, this was the perfect place to eat with a beautiful view from the top. Fortunately we had window seats. Blueberry aioli was a unique contribution from the chef. Bison burger was a bit on the drier end but overall still very good...the mushrooms for the mushroom toast was cooked perfectly.

We had a reservation and were seated quickly. We sat for a bit with no service. The hostess stopped by and asked if someone has attended to us yet and we said no. She filled glasses with water and someone would be by shortly. We placed our order and needed to leave quickly since we had another appointment to meet. Our waiter brought our food which was good. We ordered the stuffed French toast and Juniper Benny. We paid and the waiter came back around and asked for a trip advisor review. Not enthused about the request, but my husband completed it before we left. Benny was good, maybe a little overrated, but it was the fry bread that made it pop. French toast was good and not overly sweet.

We have never been disappointed before at the Juniper Bistro. Their new menu is very limited!!!! and very pricey for small portions. We tried two different main dishes and other than mushy arugula there were no other vegetables on the plates. Even the carrots are a pricey add on! No such thing as rolls or a bread basket - would not recommend.

We enjoyed a stellar, late brunch (how rare those are!) after waking in the mountains. The views are unparalleled anywhere else in Banff, though the highway noise on the patio is a bit much at times. Our food was astounding though, at any price: the duck bennies on fry bread were the best we’d had - the fry bread is so innovative and texturally delightful, and the smoked salmon had a rich, salty character. The stuffed french toast was hands-down the best we’d ever had - or, to quote my partner in the moment, “that slaps!!” Highly recommended brunch spot in Banff. :)
