I've been to Canmore many times and this is the first time I've eaten here. We came for breakfast on a Saturday. At 9:30 am the restaurant wasn't too busy yet. The service was wonderful - very friendly host and server! They gave us good food recommendations. Our party had everything from eggs benedicts to crepes and each item was... More

Fabulous apple, Brie, ham crepes! Served with fresh fruit and fantastic homemade pan fried potatoes. Orange juice freshly squeezed. My family had the asparagus, Swiss cheese and ham eggs Bennie done medium and they were great too. Daughter had golden French toast. Both dishes were served with fresh fruit and potatoes. We did have one dirty coffee cup but that... More

The food here was to die for, incredible. I am not one for fancy French food so when someone recommended this place I was skeptical. I am so glad we went because the seafood was wonderful and the portion size was great. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in Can more!!

We went for Breakfast. No matter what others claim, this is simply the best breakfast in Canmore. The eggs benedict was cooked perfectly and the crepes were divine. Service was also great and quick. The ambiance does not suit how fancy the food was, but overall a fantastic experience.

The taste was fine, but they served with very dirty mugs. I told our server and she said it was just stain, of course I know!! And even she was mad at me. Whatever she calls, if it is a fine dining which they say on the web name, they should serve with clean cups.

My wife and I love Canmore and going here for breakfast. We were just there this morning and the veggie omelette was amazing. You never know what veggies are going to be included in it and it is always delicious. Their portions are very generous and good value. We have heard that their dinner is very good as well but...

I came here for brunch for the first time this past Sunday, and I was thoroughly impressed! The server was extremely attentive, the restaurant was clean and comfortable, and the menu was huge! There were all sorts of breakfast and brunch items to choose from, however, I went with the eggs benedict (spinach and feta) and LOVED my meal. It... More

Second time here and enjoyed it again. The crepes and the combos are really yummy. Oddly, we were waiting for coffee and a waitress served coffee to a couple at a table right beside ours, but ignored us. This was corrected before we left, but it made us wonder if they are focused on customer service.

Really enjoyed the three course meal! Pork tenderloin with maple ginger glaze was fantastic! I was pleased with the way the food was served. The colour on the plate was outstanding. The vegetables were very tasty,not just the usual after thought. I appreciated the fact that the plate was not served in a pretentious manner. So many trends these days... More

When my husband and I want a quiet dining evening without the kids . . . this is where we go. Good food. Lovely atmosphere. Excellent service. Always a pleasure. French cuisine worth trying if you are in the area.
