    Everything exceeded our expectations. We had the 6 course tasting menu. The flavors and presentation are some of the best in our culinary experiences. The staff was very friendly and made great conversation about the area and the food that was served. The ambiance was just up our ally with exposed brick, live hanging plants, and classy decor. We thanked the chef on the way out and spent a few minutes chatting with him. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Canmore.

    Canmore’s little secret! The staff are outstanding. Right from greeting you at the door to an explanation of every dish and opening the door when you leave. 100% attentive. Chef Danny you have outdone yourself. If I wanted great food I run to the only 5Diamond restaurant in Alberta one town over. Not any more! Danny’s food was as good and beautifully plated. The wine was also very good. I never have to go to the other place again. If you are looking for a very Bougie dining experience with amazing food this is the place to go. Ankor, thank you. This local girl will be coming back as long as you are open and in town. Cheers to many years of dining pleasure.

    My wife and I enjoyed their 6 course tasting menu and had them pair wines with each serving. Excellent evening with incredible food, wine and over the top service. This was our second time at Ankor which I would say is Canmore’s best restaurant. We shall return.

    Great service, very accommodating to our food needs. Creative delicious dishes and recognizing the special occasion with a card was a nice touch. Excellent wine list, as always. The ambience with the concrete floors and very open space, combined with the anything-from-sweat-pants-to-a-suit dress of patrons is a bit eclectic.

    Incredible experience from start to finish! We went with the tasting menu, per previous reviewer recommendations, and were not disappointed with any of the courses. All fantastic and unique! We also enjoyed a perfectly selected South African wine pairing by the friendly & helpful sommelier. What we loved most was that some of the courses were things we’d never typically order ourselves, but were so pleased that we’d tried them. This place is truly special—approachable & quaint, yet would stand up to any chic, big city restaurant. Thank you for a most memorable 10-year anniversary dinner!

    We had a great experience at Ankor. We were welcomed at the door. The food service was excellent. We did the tasting menu with the wine pairings and it was perfect. Each course was well executed, explained, and very tasty. The wine service paired well with each course, and the Somm, Julie, described each wine with passion.

    Fresh ingredients, creative preparations and combinations of flavors made an excellent meal. The service was professional and helpful. We asked if there was a sparkling wine served by the glass and the server said that there wasn't but she would see if we could get one. We did and it was delicious. All of the wine pairings were great. We will return and tell all our friends. Thanks for the wonderful evening!

    Our group of 6 had an incredible experience at Ankor on 8/10/23. The wait staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, and we appreciated how our waiter gave excellent descriptions of each of the dishes brought to the table. The food was outstanding! The portions were on the small side, but this was a positive element, as we were able to explore more of the starters - each plate was artistically presented and prepared to taste perfection. We would not be surprised to see this gem in the mountains earn a Michelin Star.

    High level of service from the moment we walked in the door from the manager and then throughout the evening from their sommelier. We did the tasting menu with wine pairing and I highly recommend this (especially if this is your first time) so you get a sample of many of the menu items. The staff were informative about the food and wine choices and were attentive without being around too much. The food was exceptional with great flavour pairings and you can tell that each course was developed and taste tested with care. Great for date night, special birthday celebration or just a dinner treat.

    We absolutely adored our experience at Ankor. The food was divine & the staff were warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable. The restaurant itself cannot seat many individuals which meant that we were able to have a very intimate setting and the best service we have ever received. We especially appreciated the sommelier's wine pairings with our meal. If you are thinking of eating here, do try their tasting menu, otherwise plan to come here often in order to try more items on their menu.

    It was our first time dining at Ankor and we were absolutely blown away! The lovely Paisley greeted us and made us feel right at home. We sat at the bar and had the pleasure of visiting with Josh who's cocktails were impeccable. Julie was knew exactly which wine we needed. Chef Danny made us feel like we were part of the family. We had the tasting menu. Every course was delicious and flawlessly plated. The attention to detail from service to flavour was immaculate. Thank you again to the whole team, you made my birthday a very memorable one. Can't wait to come back!

    I'm rarely inclined to write restaurant reviews, but this dining experience was exceptional. I strongly recommend the Ankorience (tasting menu) as each dish was perfectly sized and proportioned with unique flavor profiles. We were a group of 4 foodies, and each of us cleared every plate...and barely refrained from licking the plates clean. It's a small, intimate atmosphere with an open kitchen concept. We give this 11/10 stars.
