"There are loads of sweet treats to tempt your kids in Banff, but for us, the ultimate temptation is always BeaverTails. A Beaver Tail is a classic Canadian treat consisting of a flat piece of fried dough smothered with your choice of sweet toppings. You can find this chain at famous attractions and national parks across Canada."

"If you’re going to Banff then getting a BeaverTail is a must!. They are a Canadian pastry and one of my favourite ways to indulge, it’s essentially a big flat doughnut. Make sure you request for it to be vegan."

"Located inside Irwin’s Mountain Inn Hotel, this restaurant serves up food with a Mexican and Spanish influence. In addition to mains, they also serve tapas, which are smaller plates that enable you to try a variety of foods. Tapas are quite popular in Spain and two options we tried during our visit was the Sauza Cream Prawns, which are sauteed in a tequila cream sauce, as well as the Seafood Ceviche, which includes Salmon, Prawns, and Scallops marinated in lime juice, tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro and onions."

"El Toro has been a feature in Banff for over 40 years, and features Canadian cuisine with a spanish/latino twist. Breakfasts cost between 7 and 15 bucks and features a very egg heavy menu; eggs benedicts, omelettes, scrambles, breakfast burritos etc. It’s wholesome food that’s worth checking out if Banff is busy and you’re looking for a breakfast spot in a pinch or you’re getting an early start."

"At Wendy’s in Canmore, AB we’re serving burgers made with 100% fresh, never frozen beef. Order natural cut fries, Wendy’s classic"

"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)."

"The Juniper sits along one of Banff’s lesser-trodden stretches, framed by lush woodland and three iconic mountain ranges. Vintage modernistinteriors do a good job of reflecting the hotel’s restful setting, with snug standard rooms oriented to the deep greens of the forest and deluxe rooms highlighting awe-inspiring valley views. The hotel’s award-winning restaurant, the Juniper Bistro, is similarly inspired by its surroundings."

"The Juniper Hotel is a small hotel just outside of Banff Town, surrounded by mountains and woodland. It is not uncommon to have wildlife sightings around the Juniper Hotel even though it is just a 25-minute walk from the center of Banff Town. The hotel has 52 rooms and plenty of handy amenities, like bike rentals on site, an activity planning desk, and an outdoor hot tub."

"Juniper Hotel & Bistro is a beautiful accommodation option located inside Banff National Park. Its selling point is the fine dining experience at their bistro, which is considered one of the prettiest in the park. This is one of the Banff hotels not located in downtown Banff."

"Not inside the town of Banff, but a half-hour away from town is the Storm Mountain Lodge. The lodge restaurant serves up meals with freshly baked sourdough bread, braised short ribs, and fondue. A great menu that changes seasonally so check their website for the latest offerings."

"Double check the hours as this place isn’t open everyday, but if you’re in Banff when it is, GO. With a focus on local or sustainable Canadian food, you will absolutely find something you love. Don’t be surprised that when your food comes out it looks like a piece of art!"

"The inside is clean, with lots of charm, and the bedding is soft and comfortable. It has a cozy living space for the family to enjoy. Soak in the hot tub after a day of activities exploring Golden."

"Although it’s located right on the 100 block of Banff Ave, you might miss this little Japanese noodle house. This local favourite serves up filling and affordable rice and noodle bowls. If you’re extra hungry, order the hearty Katsu Don."

"Chaya Ramen, Banff – This was a very small Japanese restaurant but offered a variety of ramen and other Japanese dishes. It was always crowded but we took our ramen to go. The ramen were all delicious and hit the spot during a cold day."

"The Cascades of Time Gardens is behind the building and was a great place for a stroll through its gardens and flower beds."

"Just a little way down the road from Barrier Lake in Kananaskis Country, you can find O’Shaughnessy Falls. Only a short walk from the parking lot you’ll be able to spot these beautiful frozen waterfalls. It is a great place for a visit with babies and toddlers as you can see the frozen cascade from the parking lot."
