🇨🇦 | No Banff Trip is Complete Without This Hidden Gem!

Tucked away in Canmore lies Elita Restaurant, a Spanish treasure run by an Einstein-lookalike chef-grandpa 🎅🏻✨—and trust me, this place will blow your mind! 🟠 Greek Shepherd Eggplant Spread Our starter—a silky, smoky eggplant dip slathered on crusty bread. 🤤 So good, we scraped the plate clean with extra bread (sorry, dishwasher!). 5/5 stars—MUST ORDER! 🟠 Spanish Seafood Paella with Chorizo Bursting with jumbo shrimp, mussels, and chorizo—no sad "sauce-only" bites here! 🦞 The crispy socarrat rice + melted cheese had us inhaling it. 😭 🟠 Off-Menu Meatball Pasta Grandpa’s homemade meatballs rewrote my dislike for North American versions—juicy, herby perfection! 🍝 Just show him this pic, and he’ll grin: "You’ll faint from happiness!" 😆 🟠 Vibes for Days Chef adores Chinese culture and chatted with us nonstop (in between cooking!). Surprise free cheesecake because he’s that sweet. 🍰 Quirky handmade pottery/jewelry to browse while you wait. 🏺 This meal felt like coming home—rare for travel! If you’re near Canmore, run here. 🏃‍♀️💨 📍 Elita Restaurant 107-743 Railway Ave, Canmore, AB T1W 1P2 #Banff #BanffNationalPark #CanmoreEats #HiddenGem #SpanishFood #FoodieHeaven #TravelCanada #MustTry 🏔️🍷
