Cheap Places to Eat in Canmore

"Tooloulou’s: more known as a brunch place, but they also have sit down dinners that offer Cajun seafood and burgers. I’ve only gone there for brunch and the line is always out of the door starting at 10:30am. It has an extensive brunch list that ranges from Canadian specialties (poutine) to French toasts to sandwiches to eggs."

"Tooloulou’s in Banff is a locally owned restaurant with a variety of dining options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The major attractions here are the Cajun Creole dishes with a Canadian twist. A family friendly place most suitable for parties and regular meals in case you’re in the town for more than a day."

"Self-described as a little Louisiana, a little Acadiana, and a little Canadiana…we call it pretty deliciousana. (Okay, bad joke, sorry.). Tooloulous uses their menu to plot the connection of the Acadians who left Canada for Louisiana and helped forge the Cajun culture."

"Classic burgers with a twist, this lunch time hang out celebrates Alberta’s love of meat while still catering to the vegetarians with more than just a tired old veggie patty. With beef, elk and bison burger options, they really spice up your classic burger bar while still remaining a casual dining experience. Canadian classic tip: While in Canada, upgrade your regular side of fries to the poutine."

"Eddie Burger + Bar serves up some of the best burgers in town. Get your Canadian on and order a classic Alberta beef, Stampede bison burger, or Eddie Mac cheeseburger and wash it down with a shake. Eddie’s also offers a veggie burger and gluten-free options."

"The Eddie Burger Bar has a couple of vegan patty options so you can customize your burger to make it completely vegan. I love getting some burgers to go and sitting in a nearby park to have a little picnic. View this post on Instagram"

"Winter activities often mean you’re burning plenty of calories, so if you’re looking for a laid-back atmosphere and some tasty grub, head to this tavern to replenish."

"Squish does sandwiches right – from classic favourites like the Reuben with smoked meat and the comforting tuna melt, or delicious twists like the featured grilled cheese or colourful veggie sandwich. Kids and adults alike will love this fun location, downstairs at 211 Banff Ave."

"This sneaky underground joint’s menu may be modest, but every sandwich will leave you craving seconds. You can’t go past the Rueben or Montreal Smoked Meat."

"I know that Beaver Tails is more of a take-out spot than a restaurant but I feel it’s worth mentioning because their offerings are so delicious. A beaver tail is a Canadian take on the traditional state fair elephant ear. Customize your beaver tail with all sorts of topping options or opt for it plain with just a dusting of sugar (my preference)."

"JK Bakery is another small, locally owned coffee shop that sells a good assortment of baked goods, cakes and pies to take on the go. Coming from England, I was pretty over the moon to find sausage rolls and pies for sale here, which are the perfect road trip snack. They also have pretty tasty cinnamon rolls occasionally, sandwiches and soups."

"K Bakery Cafe is a cute little coffee shop that serves the delicious black tea that I LOVE – creamy earl gray tea. They also offer specialty coffees, teas, and light snacks and baked goods. Located at 229 Bear St by the movie hall in Banff."

"The Willow Stream Spa in the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel is one of the most famous spas in the Canadian Rockies. They are proudly one of the 25 best spas in Canada, an award they won from the Canadian Spa & Wellness Awards. The focal point of the Willow Stream Spa is the rejuvenating waters that brought people to the iconic "Castle in the Rockies" 100 years ago."

"Banff Upper Hot Springs is the perfect place to relax after a day on the hiking or ski trails. Visitors have been coming to this Banff attraction since the 1880s to bask in the therapeutic mineral waters, though First Nations were doing that long before the railroad opened up this section of Canada; the native people considered the hot springs a sacred place. Banff Upper Hot Springs is the highest in Canada."

"These hot springs are a short drive from the town of Banff on the side of Sulphur Mountain. Water in the springs bubble to the surface from 1.8 miles deep in the crust. The temperature of the spring water varies through the year and can reach 116 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter."

"It can be incredibly annoying at times when a restaurant offers only one or two vegan options that you’re stuck with and probably wouldn’t usually choose. We’ve all been there, gazing at the menu trying to drum up excitement over the third mushroom burger you’ve eaten this week. Luckily, Parks Distillery and Earls Kitchen + Bar both offer kick-ass plant-based menus."

"Since we weren’t able to get a table right away at Block Kitchen + Bar on our first attempt, the host recommended Saltlik as another option for dining. We’re so glad we took his advice because it ended up being one of our favorite restaurants in Banff. We loved it so much that we dined here twice while we were in Banff."

"With rib eye in citrus-rosemary butter and peppercorn New York strip loin on the menu, Saltlik is clearly no plain-Jane steakhouse knocking out flavorless T-bones. No, this polished dining room abounds with... Top ChoicePub Food in Banff Town"
