Banff’s Rose & Crown has all three, plus a killer rooftop patio with some of the best views around. Lunch, dinner, or late-night drinks, the Rose is a spot that has stood the test of time in the heart of downtown Banff.

For a restaurant in Banff to stand the test of time, it has to have at least three main features: great food, great service, and something to attract the locals during the shoulder season.

When people are visiting from out of town, there are so many excellent restaurants to try that bring the flavours of Banff to the plate in a big way. But if you’re looking for a casual spot that has great food and even greater views, the rooftop patio at Rose & Crown wins it every time.
Located on Main Street, this Banff staple has been around forever, and it’s practically an institution for locals and visitors alike. The rooftop patio is no joke – it boasts stellar views of all the mountains and it’s a large and airy space, perfect for enjoying the views along with the taste of the mountains. Grab a brew, or grab a meal, and enjoy what the space has to offer.
The food at the Rose & Crown is a step above what you’d expect from the usual “pub grub” too. We’re talking the usual pub favourites but made with care that you don’t usually see in a pub-type setting. The food is delicious, and some local favourites include the turkey club, the Rose burger, the hot dog tower, or the classic nachos for sharing. No matter what you get, it’ll be delicious, and it’ll enhance the big feelings you get from looking at those views.
So next time you’re in Banff, stop at the Rose & Crown. I’ll probably see you on the rooftop patio.
