The view of the lake and snow capped mountains from the window seat was worth the price of the meal. I was expecting a more expensive bill for this upmarket/tourist hotel, but was pleasantly surprised at about $130CAD for 2 starter drinks, 2 mains, 1 shared dessert and 2 glasses of wine. My butter chicken with roti was delicious although... More

We had a very nice dinner here - I had the filet tenderloin and she had duck. We also had three appetizers - Good value for a nice dining experience. Service was friendly, view of the lake was supreme.

This was obviously the Fairmont's premier restaurant. We were celebrating my 60th Birthday. Service was impecable. Food was very good. Great ambiance and a view of the lake. Since my family was treating me, I have no idea what that meal cost, but I'm sure it was a very expensive birthday present.

The food, the service, the menu and the view are all wonderful in this restaurant which has to be one of the best meals I have ever eaten anywhere in the world. Tip - if you get the 3-course meal special, you save a heap of money and get to enjoy some amazing creations.

We had dinner there a few nights ago- hmmm for the prices you would expect the best. We ordered the 3 course meal with wine pairing. The appetizers (both ordered the scallops) were good and dessert ok. But my husband and I both ordered lamb and both were "tough" - we both found it difficult to cut let alone chew.... More

we had lunch here on a day trip to Lake Louise in March, the lake was frozen and there were a few skating ($11.00 for 2 hours), Service was quick, friendly and efficient. The view is one of the best in the world but the cost of the food was better than some of the places in Banff. We had... More

We recently traveled to Lake Louise to ski and dined in the Fairveiw Room. The setting is very formal although we were not alone in being dressed in jeans and sweaters. The wine list is very good though not as good as the Post Hotel's. The sommelier was knowledgeable but was serving all 3 of the restuarants there at the... More

We dined here one evening when it was very quiet with only a few tables booked. We were seated at a table with a wonderful view of the lake and skating rink and sculptures. The staff was very attentive and knew details about the menu. We had the scallops, ahi tuna and foi gras for starters which were all exceptional.... More

Good food but if you are one of those folks who dines out a lot, like me, you will find the pricing (even at this gem of a location) pricey.
