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.

    The Sky Bistro was a great experience overall, I got the short rib and I’d order it again! Our waiter James was very kind!

    The maitre-de, I believe his name was Jan, was awful. He choose to sit a couple without a reservation at a table on the window in front us who made a reservation months ago for our anniversary We were early to our reservation and he was rather un-accomadatung. He stated that Evan after sitting us at a second row table and something opened up at the window, he would not move us. People beware, this is a tourist trap and extremely overrated . Eat elsewhere . Your experience will be better than having to deal with this rude service.

    Great food and great service. We were a party of 2 and were given window seats, we had quite probably the nicest view I’ve ever seen while eating. The staff were so friendly and service was quick and efficient. The food was delicious. If you are going up Sulphur Mountain, Sky Bistro is a must!
