This is the page for restaurant tips and scenes within the actual townsite of Banff. My Banff National Park page is much larger and features all the glorious mountains, amazing alpine lakes and the fantastic wealth of wildlife. Hopefully this page on the town will be fun and maybe a tad quirky, but for the real scoop go to the Banff N.P. page.
- Pros:relaxed atmosphere, plenty of good food
- Cons:people, people everywhere
- In a nutshell:a necessary evil

The Rundlestone in the Banff area makes for good sightseeing plus beautiful exteriors for lodging and homes. Enjoyed your pictures! I hope we can go back there someday. Marcia
I've just booked a trip to this area for July. I'll be staying in Canmore, but was interested in learning about Banff's main town area. Thanks for the tips!
Great tips on your visit! I just did a quick check before we head there from Calgary this morning!
The Buffalo Mountain Lodge tip is killing me!!! I gotta eat . . .
now u have wet my appetite onto the big one.
Most amusing.
What a lovely mountain-scenery, Phil ! Looks like a great place to go !
Guess I've lived a sheltered life too, Phil and when I head to Canada in a few weeks, I'm going to the Beer Store. ;)
Treat the countdown like seconds ticking off the rest of your life. . .that will speed up street crossings.
You HAVE lived a sheltered life. The crosswalks in Alexandria, VA have countdown to colour change.
