Whitehorn Bistro — Restaurant in Alberta

The restaurant is at the top of the Lake Louise ski lift . We were there on a beautiful sunny day in late August and the vista - looking down at Lake Louise & the Victoria glacier from our table on the outdoor deck - was fabulous. The waiting staff was friendly, and they were careful vis-a-vis distancing. Mostly, the food was fantastic. In particular, we ordered 2 appetizers (french fries & garlic mushrooms) and both were delicious. The chowder was disappointing, but the seafood casoulet was very good. The ride up on the ski lift costs $40/person. When you buy the lift ticket, they offer a package price for $65/person. Don't bother with the package; all you get is $25 toward your bill in the restaurant. Over all, this was a delightful experience. There was no line-up for the lift, the rides up & down were breathtaking (if the weather is fine, choose to ride in an open chair rather than an enclosed gondola), and the short walk from the lift to the restaurant through alpine meadows was romantic. We were turned off by the mob scene in Lake Louise village. Driving 5 minutes up to the ski hill to escape the crowd was a...

We came here for a late lunch and this place was amazing! Delicious great presentation and an amazing view to boot. This place is set on top of Lake Louise so you have to take the gondola to get to this great bistro set on top of the world overlooking Lake Louise and surrounded by mountains and evergreens. The patio is huge and very inviting, inside is cozy and a nice casual feel to it. We started off with their Heirloom Tomato & Basil Salad with Buffalo Mozzarella, Quinoa, Sundried Tomato Pesto, Balsamic Reduction. Lettuce Wrap with Chicken in Coconut Peanut Sauce & Asian Slaw. Pork Belly & Scallops 48 hour cured, with Celery Root Puree, Confit Tomatoes, Fennel Corn Bilini & White Asparagus Espuma. All three of these dishes were excellent! Flavorful and colorful, the Quinoa had an amzing earthy flavor and the heirloom tomatoes were firm with a slight tartness that the mozzarella complimented it. I loved all the dishes served here, the only thing negative was that the portion was not filling. I was still hungry when i took the gondola down. This is a great place to eat if you ever have a chance and soak...

I purchased a Lake Louise Gondola Ticket together with a dine in experience to save money. We rode the gondola to the top, you have an option for a chairlift or the closed one. From the top, you have to walk to the restaurant. Wear comfortable shoes. It’s quite a long walk/hike. The tickets cost like $35, they gave us a $100 food voucher when we got the Redeem the Gondola Tickets. The food are very expensive but delicious! Not enough to fill you up! Service was good. The view from the deck is beautiful! You will see the Canadian Rockies including the Lake Louise. It’s a must see! Hiking back to the Gondola ride to go down from the Mountain was unbearable for us, we went down to the bottom of the Restaurant, to like a somewhat Animal Museum and ask for a ride back, they just need to schedule it but it’s free. If you are in the area,...
