Unforgettable food - Unforgettable view I’m at the Banff Centre for meetings every couple years and have been coming for 18 years and the Vista Dining room is what wows our groups each time. Creative food, every day! Even the eggs each morning are so consistent: Creamy, fluffy, heaven. They often make fresh ice cream, it is always unforgettable. The staff are so polite and hospitable. But here’s the thing - it’s called “Vistas” for a reason. Good gracious that view!!!! There’s a walkway outside the main doors coming in and each day, I love to watch people pause, look at the view and it’s so clear that in that moment they are grateful to be alive. *Secret tip if you’re in a big group. They put down pitchers of ice tea and lemonade but if you want a soda, just ask. Most people figure this out after a couple days. Let me save you that time.

The food was so bad. My family and I visited this “ all you can eat” restaurant as part of our visit to Banff. The food was so limited. For appetizers the only available options were mashed potatoes, steamed corn, and tofu stuffed portobello mushrooms. Nothing special about any of them. Main courses were horrible. There was some sort of cod fish available but it was way too salty that we couldn’t eat the rest after taking a bite. The duck lasagna was at best a 5/10 and the chicken was extermely dry. The tomato soup was very bland and the salads including the pasta and beans salad were rotten and felt like leftovers from last night. The deserts and service were okay hence the 2 stars. The view was also fantastic and all non-alcoholic drinks were included. Keep in mind, you pay for the food upon entering the restaurants which is uncommon . If you are going for the view, definitely go for it but if you are going for the food AVOID at all costs since my family and I left this “ all you can eat” restaurant hungry.

This was always a wonderful experience dining here for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We had the pleasure of dining here for a few days during an unfortunate time during the 2013 floods and got to experience multiple meals. Quality service and such a variety of food. The only thing I am not sure about now is how much vegan foods they had or how accommodating they were able to be with any food restrictions. Beautiful views! Tons of space but can get busy.

Great breakfast buffet and some of the best restaurant views in Banff. The buffet had lots of selection and even gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian options. We wished there was toast, but there were other pastries and French toast. Unfortunately, the service was not great. The servers paid little attention and it took a long time to get coffee.

Went for dinner here last Saturday night. We try to make a point of trying somewhere new to eat each time we go to Banff. This place did not disappoint! A stunning restaurant with amazing views. Polite, attentive staff, and the food was amazing. Good value , especially for Banff. This may be a place we visit more than once!!

Pay $50 including tax and tips? This is what I get??? All the foods are gone and they do not refill at all!!! They only left some sauce and rice! This is a total total scam! Banff Center arts and creativity should compensate my meal! This is a total waste of time
