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.

    Our server Hana was amazing and from the very beginning made a wonderful experience for us. We were there to celebrate a bachelorette trip and Hana gave us complimentary champagne to cheers! The cocktails were delicious I had the bartender special. Food just kept getting better we had the beat app and soup 10/10. Then we all had the short rib and it was the best I’ve ever had highly recommend asking for extra sauce.
