Canmore has a ton of incredible places to eat and drink. You can’t go wrong with any of the choices in the Bow Valley. But, if you’ve got decision fatigue or have trouble trusting the internet to help you make a decision, we’ve got you covered. Here are a few of the many amazing places to eat and drink in the Bow Valley that we think you should try.
Communitea Café
If you’re looking for a nourishing lunch or breakfast in a cozy atmosphere, Communitea Café is the place for you. Their creative dishes and massive tea menu make for the perfect afternoon in downtown Canmore. Some must-try menu items include the Pad Thai, Buddha Bowl, Chipotle Chicken & Avocado Quesadilla, and so much more.

Where the Buffalo Roam
Here we have Canmore’s beloved cocktail bar. You’ll find a ton of creative cocktails and delicious dishes in a chic little location that is the perfect mix between small town and big city. The drinks are truly outstanding, with a wide range of options for all palates. If you get the chance, share as many dishes as possible because you’ll definitely want to try them all.
Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co.
It would be a huge mistake to visit Canmore and miss your chance to eat at Flat Bread Co. You will find pizza, pasta, salad, soup, and more. With local ingredients and creative toppings, this place really knows its way around a flatbread. Watch as your pizza gets popped into the wood-burning pizza oven, and enjoy one of the best slices you’ll ever taste. Oh, and the atmosphere and service are truly best-in-class.
Crazyweed Kitchen
A little more on the fancy side, Crazyweed Kitchen is an absolutely must-try in Canmore. You will enjoy inventive upmarket meals, a massive wine list, and a beautiful atmosphere. The menu is unique, and there’s not one thing you could order that is a misstep. The pickle brine friend chicken will be your new favourite thing in the world, and you will never be disappointed with their massaman lamb. This will be your new go-to for elevated dining in Canmore.
Wild Life Distillery
If you’re looking to keep it local, it doesn’t get more local than this. Wild Life Distillery crafts delicious spirits from glacier water and locally-forged botanicals and grains. You can sip their spirits and creative cocktails in their tasting room and bring home a bottle of locally-distilled spirits to sip at home.
