Deer Lodge is home to one of the most noted dining rooms in the Canadian Rockies. We invite you to sample our Rocky Mountain Cuisine – a style influenced by hearty meals made by European mountain guides artfully presented and professionally served. Rocky Mountain Cuisine is best described as an assemblage of Canadian ingredients such as bison and elk raised on CRM Ranch without hormones or antibiotics, sustainable seafood, prairie-grown grains and locally sourced vegetables. We have an extensive wine list featuring award-winning Canadian wines from central B.C. as well as Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula – including a generous selection of hard to find Vintners’ reserve wines. Deer Lodge proudly received Gold at the Vancouver International Wine Awards.

Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Deer Lodge. The charcutierie plate was so good, with surprising selections including the wild boar pate and pickled cantalou pe. The main course, the bison striploin, was exquisite. Our compliments to the chef, and our excellent waiter for a wonderful experience at Lake Louise.

Was our Anniversary. Complimentary Prosecco was a lovely touch - Thankyou! We both had the Bison Steak and agree it was to die for. Can’t beat bison! Well, elk can and boar could try and would get close, but menu was changed and they don’t have those anymore. (Had to say it guys lol) Just love the CRMR cuisine!

We have always enjoyed dining experiences with CRMR so on a recent get away weekend in Lake Louise we decided to have dinner at Deer Lodge. What a great choice. We each had the daily soup special Spicy Miso Mushroom. It was rich, delicious and spicy. In fact the soup was so good we purchased two orders to go at the end of our meal. For mains I had the T Bone Lamb Chop while my wife had the Beet salad as a main with a Molten Cake for dessert. The service provided by our waiter Luke was first rate. We will definitely return.

The restaurant is tucked away in a rustic lodge, but the dining room is cozy with nice ambiance. Sadly the food is really hit and miss. Every dish I ordered first go round had an issue: -Potato Gnocchi: very gummy and gross -Bison Striplon: overly salty where I could not taste the meat and very chewy -Gingerbread dessert and ice cream: this was brown playdough and freezer burnt ice cream The staff was courteous, but obviously avoided me like the plague once it was "three strikes" on the food. I am not overly picky as the replacements were much better. -Musroom Ravioli: tasted amazing, sauce was incredible -Beef Tenderloin: very tender and just right -I skipped dessert replacement as I was super disappointed. My husband had the hazelnut tart and white chocolate ice cream both of which were average. After all the inconvenience they did not even offer to comp a dish. I had to wait for my replacement steak and watch my husband eat his meal, so I thought they would make more of an effort on their end. So even though they can make some good dishes, beware, it seems to be a 50/50 chance of getting something good!

A birthday dinner to remember. The duck confit was sublime- very tender; Veal Ravioli with Sherry Cream sauce very tasty; the Bison was nicely done with great smokey sauce; Paired with nice wine. the desserts were out of this world scrumptious. The server was very accommodating, just the right amount of interaction.

Throwback to old time lodges. Rustic setting with fantastic view of Mt Fairview. Dinner selections were varied and interesting. We had trios mouse with smoked baba ghanoush, chipotle squash soup, Atlantic cod with sausage sauce, seared pork chop with pomegranate sauce and mashed potatoes with pancetta. All prepared to exactness. Sevice was friendly and cheerful. Price point excellent considering quality.

Service was excellent, staff very cordial. I felt that there should have been larger portions of food in the entrees for the price. There were 8 of us and everyone was still hungry and hence ordered from the dessert menu. The desserts were spectacular! This restaurant would make a great stopping place for dessert and coffee, but for full dinner not enough food for the cost.

We had 4 dinners here, tried almost everything on the menu except for those not available. Top choices from my family are tuna, duck confetti, both plates as starters, and beef and lamb chops as our main. If you like seafood like me, I recommend the COD which is always my first choice. All the deserts are yummy. Tap beers are great too. Daniel as our food buddy provided most friendly and great services for us. We will come back to here next time when we visit lake Louise.

We strolled over from the château to enjoy a dinner at the historic Deer Lodge. Our waiter Daniel had many tables to take care of, but he took great care of us. All staff interactions were positive and friendly. It’s obvious that there’s a serious staff shortage all over Banff and Lake Louise, but I have to hand it to the wait staff for hustling! The food was delicious. We had the charcuterie, ahi Tuna, beef tenderloin, gnocchi, roasted chicken, kids burger, and assorted desserts….with wine of course.

Spectacular dining room, good if slow service and on this occasion our food was lukewarm and when one of our party very much disliked his elk shank dish and didn’t eat it (it was more like elk stew)… after indicating this to the junior server he was later offered a free desert (which he declined) but was nonetheless charged for his uneaten entrée. Unfortunately on this occasion our collective expectations weren’t met and while we still love the atmosphere of the Fairview Dining Room, we likely won’t be returning.

Overall our experience was poor. We were seated in a room with a group party of 12+ people and the noise level was so high. They were doing shots and quite rambunctious. It was hard for me to hear other people speaking to me! Service was poor. It took them 10mins to come around and give us water and take our orders. When the food came, they gave me the wrong order but my husband’s plate was fine. Seeing the fact that he didn’t want to start without my order, then brought his back but then his food sat for another 15 mins!! No compensation or discounts were given. The food was less than impressive. My husband’s lamb was cold and my elk shank was dry. For what we paid ($95) and how poor the overall experience was, I would pass and definitely not return. It was forgettable.

Celebrated a birthday! The food was solid. I ordered the Cod which came over a bed of vegetables with sausage and my partner ordered the braised elk. The elk was a little dry for it being braised, but maybe that is part of the texture of the meat? Overall we had a nice time
