Exquisite food. Matt took amazing care of us and was exceptionally thoughtful (he angled the lights in order to help us take better photos!) View of the mountains in the background was very scenic.

About the restaurant

Ranked #3 on TripAdvisor for dining in Banff, the Juniper Bistro is a destination in itself — a space where guests gather not just to eat, but to share stories, soak in the view, and savour something truly remarkable.

Start your day with a regionally sourced breakfast before a sunrise hike, then return to unwind with equisite plant-rich dishes designed by Chef Sergio, and handcrafted summer cocktails on our sun-drenched patio.

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*

Birthday dinner for my wife with friends. Great setting on the deck. Fine service and, overall, good food BUT, do not order the scallops! An expensive dish simply not worth the cost. Other than the scallops, a pretty good night. Thanks to the staff.
