DINE ABOVE BANFF Anchored at over 2,200 meters above sea level, the Banff Gondola’s Sky Bistro sits on the summit of Sulphur Mountain. With six Rocky Mountain ranges as a backdrop, this remarkable restaurant promises an exhilarating gondola ride followed by a mountain top dining experience. Lunch and dinner menus celebrate the panorama of Canadian cuisine, with ingredients drawn from both ocean coasts, plus wholesome prairie staples including world-renowned Alberta beef. Complemented by local wine, beer and spirits, it makes for a unique dining experience above Banff.

    I just recently went here for lunch with my Fiancé for Valentine’s Day and it was a great experience. The choices for lunch on the menu are very limited and would not be for someone that is considered picky. The prices are decent considering they have to bring up all the supplies with the gondola but still on the pricey side. The views are spectacular and definitely worth it! I recommend going in right when they open at 11 so you can get a window seat. The service was incredible between the server taking our picture and very polite to the back staff taking our coats and hanging them up for us. I would definitely recommend coming here at least once for a great experience.

    Great restaurant with great views! Truly an experience at the top of a mountain in Banff. We were fortunate to have a table for 2 right by the windows. Food and service were excellent!
