Best Date Night Restaurants in Canmore
Canmore date night options trade Banff's old world hotel bar feel for something a bit more relaxed and chef driven. Most of the better rooms are run by people who used to cook in Banff and decided they wanted a smaller, quieter kitchen. The result is that you can usually get a properly considered four course dinner here for less than what the same plates would run at the destination hotels one valley over.
Crazyweed Kitchen is the long running standard, wood fired everything, an open kitchen, and a wine program built by a sommelier. Tavern 1883 is the cosy, low light, slightly leather banquette pick on Main Street. Bridgette Bar wins on cocktail program and shareable plates with the best back patio in town. Sage Bistro at Silvertip is the special occasion choice with a sunset facing room and the best view of the day. Murrieta's Bar and Grill is the comfortable crowd pleaser with steaks and a quiet upstairs floor. The Drunken Lobster is the seafood specialist if oysters are part of the date.
For the Banff equivalents, see the date night Banff guide. The wine bars Canmore guide and the mountain view restaurants Canmore guide both work as warm up or after dinner stops.
