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.

It was quite a nice time. Went there with my boyfriend for his birthday and the themed drinks were very creative, although I think the price per portion was a bit steep. Good ingredients and food so that makes up for it a bit at least.
