With the retro-cool look of a European chalet, complete with mid-century modern décor and uninterrupted views over the town of Banff, the Cliffhouse Bistro at Mt Norquay is one of the best mountain-gazing lunch venues in the Canadian Rockies. Simple, understated, and with a flair for mountain casual, the Cliffhouse Bistro is all about relaxed, upmarket lunch fare. Albertan flavours presented with a twist is their specialty. Sitting at an elevation of 6900 ft., and accessed by riding the Lone Pine chair lift, the Cliffhouse Bistro has been a social meeting spot since it opened in the 1950s. A small, thoughtfully prepared list of upscale yet unpretentious dishes – influenced by their Canadian Rocky Mountain home, and infused with urban trends –is on offer, all freshly prepared in their kitchen. Locally-crafted brews, sodas, and Canadian wines are also available, to complete your Cliffhouse Bistro experience,
