   The views are absolutely incredible, especially if you can get a seat right by one of their huge picture windows. The food was very good, and came in a timely manner. The only issue we had was that the coffee was terrible. It was completely burnt and bitter. Other than that though, it was a great brunch.

   Good food. But oddly presented. Both appetizer and main course only covered half the plate. Divided right in half with nothing on one side.

   The Juniper Bistro is one of my favourite restaurants in town. Locally sourced and delicious options for even the pickiest eaters. It’s the wild berry jam that keeps me coming back

    For a restaurant that was nearly empty, service was less than adequate. Every refill was needed to be requested, reminders were given for forgotten items, and just a general disinterest in catering to the few patrons made the experience less than fine.

    Food was amazing . View was amazing (even though we went on a cloudy day). Unfortunately we were led astray by the address on open table and ended up in Canmore. They accommodated us when we showed up over half hour late and the rest of the evening was great

    The Juniper Hotel is located looking over the valley but not in the townsite. The views are spectacular all year round. I have lived in Banff since 1982 and to my mind has always been one of the nicest hotels. The food is always excellent and the menu changes frequently with the seasons. There are always excellent vegetarian choices available. I recommend the Juniper to my visiting friends.

    EXPECTATIONS ARE THE NEMESES OF AN OPEN MIND......that being said, we walked into the Juniper Bistro restaurant with a hungry heart.....the breakfast menu selection is limited, however, it does give a patron the opportunity to venture into unchartered breakfast waters.....fresh squeesed juices are basic in this day-and-age, but lacking at this establishment.....the coffee selection was basic....we odered the cappuccino and received a wonderful version....light and excellent coffee flavour....there were only 2 wait staff to cover the entire restaurant and management (host,bar and restaurant)...Ally ( our waitress) was wonderful..her cohort was just as pleasant....not only was she professional, but extremely positive and casual in her approach...great beginning to our brunch.....the huevos ranchero slection was our first choice.....please offer two choices of salsa (one with cilantro and one without)...I would suggest you slice the avacado and present it with a lightly seasoned drizzle on the side.....the refried beans were excellent.....I order poached eggs for the Juniper Benny and requested a liquid gold poach, however, I received an over-poached version........the bacon did have a nice smoke to it...and the Valbella sausage was wonderful...the bannock was slightly oily, but very flavourful.....the coffee was delicious........all said....this is a wonderful place to have your brunch....the ambience is underwhelming (it felt a little like a cafeteria setting....HOWEVER....the views are spectacular.......would definitely recommend you visit....

    Juniper Hotel/Bistro is a quaint, comfortable, circa 1950s style hotel. The food at the bistro was very good with a limited but decent menu. The location just outside of the Banff town site is great for getting going quickly in the morning to ski hills or getting to mountain trails for hiking. The mountain views from the bistro windows and many of the rooms are simply fantastic. There is a small but interesting collection of artifacts and artwork on the hallway walls that capture the history of the area. There is a bit of road noise from the nearby transcanada hwy, and when it runs, the heating system can be a bit distracting at night for light sleepers but many will not notice at all (I noticed a bit, but the rest of the family didn't recall hearing anything). This is a little gem of a place that is on our list of regular options for short hiking and skiing vacations.

    Was very disappointed with our meal. Salmon meal and burger were bland and lacking flavor. Burger bun was burnt. Fries were overcooked and saltless. Cocktail on menu unavailable and limited other options. Mountain views were beautiful but did not make up for the lackluster food.

    We had reservations, but they were not necessary as there was only a couple of tables that were occupied. We were not acknowledged for quite sine time until I initiated. The menus were all single pieces of paper that seem to be torn out of a book. The wait staff seemed uninterested and they were not attentive. Watched another waitress take our drinks off of a serving tray at the bar that had been sitting there for a bit and put other drinks on it while we were still waiting to be served. We had to ask if we could just take our drinks ourselves. We decided that we could have a better dining experience and left after our single appetizer and drinks. The comment from my partner was that it seems like "the parents are out of town and the kids are supposed to be running the restaurant and don't care".

    Upon arriving to the bistro we were met with a charismatic and kind server named Aly. She took care of us and made sure everything was well. I had the eggs your way (which was terrific)!while my friend had the French toast (which was divine). We were able to explore the patio as well. Thank you to the amazing Aly and the team for making our experience memorable. Definitely will be coming back.

    The decor is somewhat challenging for a dining room. Harsh lightning and all hard surfaces (floor, walls and tables) are acoustically challenging to the senses. The food was not hot and the order was wrong. The service was also luke warm and not very timely. I’ve eaten here many times (since the 1970’s) and the food and service seemed better. The views are excellent and what brings us back.

    The Green Curry Thai soup was outstanding, just the right amount of heat. Beet and feta salad was really quite tasty and refreshing. The only thing that would have made the salad better was serving on a smaller plate instead of an entree plate. Made it look so small. Next table over had a burger and fries on a smaller plate and it looked overflowing.

    Our Server, Allie (Ellie) was great, she was attentive, professional, and very kind. We were seated by the window, which, of course was a million dollar view of the mountains. Sipping our morning coffee to this scenery was the cherry on top. The food was delicious, presented beautifully, and of good value. Highly recommend this Bistro!
