I ate here twice: for breakfast and dinner. Both were very good experiences! The food was delicious, the service very pleasant and the atmosphere very calm. The staff I spoke to were really friendly and I particularly liked two of them, one of whom I think was called Alba and with whom I had some truly nice conversations! I really enjoyed my meals in this restaurant which also has a beautiful view of the mountains. I highly recommend it and will definitely come back if I am ever in Banff again!

Vacation in Banff...looking for a place with a view & we were thrilled! Enjoyed the atmosphere & had great service. Two out of three dishes were excellent, with the third being "fine, nothing special" though all presentations were lovely.

We be recently had the pleasure of dining at Juniper Bistro in Banff. From the moment we walked in, I was impressed by the bright and clean ambience. The lighting was perfect, allowing me to clearly see and appreciate the beautiful presentation of the food. Speaking of the food, it was simply delicious! Every bite was bursting with flavor and the ingredients were clearly fresh and of the highest quality. The highlight of the Alpine Toast was the house made tomato jam. The stuffed French Toast did not disappoint either. To add to the already delightful experience, the music playing in the background was perfectly appropriate for a dining atmosphere. It was not too loud or distracting, but rather added to the ambiance and made for an enjoyable evening. Our server, Clarence ‘Oh Boy’ was incredibly friendly and pleasant to talk to. He was attentive to our needs and made great recommendations from the menu. It was clear that he was knowledgeable about the cuisine and genuinely cared about our dining experience. Finally, I was pleasantly surprised by the prices. They were very competitive compared to other restaurants in the area, especially considering the high quality of the food and service. All in all, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.

WOW! K...we are the type of foodies that drive to Banff for dinner and back. We have been to Juniper Bistro many times before, but this time just blew my mind! We have such a lovely date night watching the sunshine over the incredible view. They just added fire-pits outside to enjoy apres ski drinks! Catherine Bohn, Head Chef, surprised us with the most amazing flavours on the Beef Cheeks - OMG! I'm coming back every week for dinner! PS: Ask for Jessica if you want to be spoiled! Seeya soon!

I always love going to Juniper and taking my friends and family there. Food is always delicious, well-presented and of course, the lovely views. The only hiccup for me this time was all the coffees we ordered at brunch were only warm. Only one in my party decided to ask for it to be reheated.

My favorite breakfast brunch spot. I drive from Calgary. Wasn’t up to par this time. Invited friends so that was disappointing. Meals sat under the light for 10 minutes. Server disappeared. So food was warm at best. My husband got 1/3 of the portion of potatoes as the rest of us?? Surely that’s something easy to see before bringing out. Mixed up who got what with our eggs. Had to ask three times to get enough jam for all of us and not just one tiny bowl for 4 people. Thank goodness I love the view and know it’s usually better.

The stuffed French toast was pretty unreal, that said the view was just so breath taking. The big windows overlooking the valley really would have made anything a good, so the fact that the food was REALLY good just pushed it over the top. Service was also kind and excited to see us excited.

First time going to juniper and it was outstanding! It did help that we went on a Wednesday and there was no one around so our brunch experience was amazing. The view is breath taking, the food was delicious in every bite, and our service was wonderful! Definitely recommend going if you haven't.

As repeat customers, service this time was not what we expected. Menu is awesome, ambience outstanding but our food arrived cold and our beverages arrived after our meal! Our server was slammed with a large table and we could see he was very busy but after taking our order we never saw him again, not even to bring our bill. Because we have never had a bad experience here before, we are chalking this up to a “one off” experience.

Christmas Brunch Special Menu Price: $40 Style: 3 Course Menu: 3/10 Service: 4/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Price: 2/10 Overall: 4.25/10 3 Course Chrsitmas Brunch was wholly disappointing. The appetizers and desserts portion was basically a few fruits bread cheese and salami. The "Main course" was a choice of benny or sandwich melt. It would be hard to justify a $40 eggs Benedict in a 3 Michelin restaurant let alone Juniper Bistro. Our server while friendly did not have basic table waiting skills reaching across guests, counting rim of our tea and coffee mugs, taking food away before we were finished. The atmosphere was beautiful with a view of the Rockies and a fit pit area outside. Unfortunately I would have to give Juniper Bistro a: Do Not Recommended
