Waldhaus Restaurant - Banff, Alberta

Absolutely loved the environment being so beautiflly sitting in the middle of the Golf course behind the amazing fairmont hotel. The meal portions are small but very high quality and the staff were pretty friendly.

Restaurant is behind the hotel down some wooden paths. We made reservations for 6pm and had a seat with a nice view of the river. Service was excellent and the food was great. We started with Haus Bread and it was fresh out of the oven with plenty of butter. ... My husband got the beef short rib and it was soft and flavourful and we got a side of cabbage to share. I got the beef filet and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. We finished off our dinner with japanese orange sorbet which was light and refreshing. Overall a nice experience. We were able to ask for a shuttle to drive us back to the parkade where we parked instead of walking back up the steps in the dark. Read more

Nice setting, good serivce and delicious food. The location is a little away from Fairmont resort you can walk for bus down for fee from Fairmont resort reception. They are very busy, so make you to make reservations in advance. Everyone in our party loves the food from appetizers to ... dessert. Check them out when you are in the area. Totally worth every penny. Read more

This looked like a unique experience restaurant, so I made a dinner reservation for last week. The drinks were really good! (I highly recommend the Black Forest Sour.) We ordered the fondue as it was highly recommended by our waiter for an appetizer. However for almost 60 CAD, it wasn’t ... worth it. I’d give it a 2 out of 10. The cheese was very bland, chalky tasting and for only two people it was way too much to eat. You could almost eat the fondue for a meal if you wanted. I ordered the chicken and my boyfriend got the short rib. He said his meal was pretty good. I again was not impressed with my own meal because it was very bland. The main flavors that stood out to me was the dill and something that had a licorice taste to it. Overall we were highly disappointed with the cost of the food here and lack of flavor overall. Not really somewhere I’d recommend to others unless you like expensive food with no taste. Read more

The restaurant is up in the second floor and has good views if you sit by the window. It looks down to the firepit and the valley. It's a nice cozy atmosphere with dark wood panelling and an elk head by the fireplace and Caribou antlers on the opposite ... wall. Service was great as we were seated right away and the server came over soon after asking if we wanted sparkling or still water. Talked about the menu and left us alone to decide. Food came out decently quick for the kids and then soon after the adult appetizers, and then the main entrees. The entrees were a decent size for both the adults and kids. The taste was delicious and the portions of vegetables to meat ratio was good. Although could have used more of the creamy mushroom sauce. There was some dietary restrictions for us as a member of my family has severe allergies and the restaurant made sure everything was going to be safe and no risk of cross contamination. It was good to see the server had all the allergies written down on the notepad. The server would also let us know what the kitchen said each time we had questions about a certain dish which made it reassuring that there would be hospital trip that night. The server worked with us for the chocolate fondue in which they would be able to separate the patries from the fruits which made it a good experience for the person that has the allergies. Read more
