    What a beautiful restaurant and the service was amazing. It was out anniversary and they treated us to some bubbles and the Wild board pork chop was to die for.

    Beautiful NEW restaurant in Banff. The space itself is gorgeous. Lighting is perfect, decor is impeccable, the room is comforting and the food is delicious! They weren’t super busy on a Thursday night, as they just opened but my guess is, that they will be soon. We shared the mussels and the ribeye - both were incredible. Even the sourdough toast was grilled to perfection with the right amount of salt and the Thai basil curry broth was the perfect pairing. If you plan on ordering the ribeye, come hungry! This dish is large and can feed up to 4. The sides complimented the ribeye beautifully - buttery whipped, mashed potatoes, tasty broccolini and winter squash. We also each had a glass of red wine. Their menu is small but packs a punch. The team is friendly and not overbearing. Overall one of the best experiences we’ve had in a long time. We are looking forward to dining here again & leaving room for dessert!

    Awesome new restaurant in town 👏 We shared the bison tartare, the mussels and the tenderloin; all absolutely amazing. The cured egg yolk on the tartare, the toasted sourdough with the mussels, the bone marrow butter on the tenderloin, each dish was divine. The service was great. Attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend!

    This was the best food we’ve enjoyed in Canada since we moved here in 2019, bar none. The bison chop was tender and delicious, served with lentils that made my husband a “lentil believer” (he usually avoids lentils). My Alberta trout was pink, flavorful, local, and perfectly cooked, and served with the yummiest Brussels sprouts I’ve ever tasted and a potato rosti that managed to be elegant and scarfable at the same time. Super mains, and nicely done cocktails- the Poire 75 was so good! Service and ambiance also get an A+. Perfect for a date, a couples’ night out, or dining with friends who appreciate good, Canadian food.

    Hello Elaine, Wow- Thank you for sharing such a glowing review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our bison chop and Alberta trout, as well as the Poire 75 cocktail—it's wonderful to know we could make a "lentil believer" out of your husband! Your kind words about the service, ambiance, and Canadian-inspired dishes at Good Folk mean so much to us, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another memorable dining experience.

    This is my new favourite restaurant. Food is exceptional. The service is wonderful and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fantastic dining experience. I went with a group of friends including my vegetarian son. Lots of options. Delicious - he had the pesto that was on the feature menu. We had the beetroot cheesecake for dessert… sounds peculiar but it was fantastic. This is a must try in Banff.

    This was an incredible find! Open just a few weeks but with a stellar team ready for business. Everything was excellent from A-Z. Great food, cocktails, wine and ambience. Impeccable service.

    It was our first time there. Usually when it is a new restaurant the service is not right. Our server was on point, very knowledgeable and understood what we needed. Now the food! Wow! Our server, Ashley, recommended the risotto, the mussels and the tartare. We took the 3 of them. I mean WOW! The mussels and tartare were great and the risotto was out of this world. The best I ever tasted and I am very picky. Our night was great! Thanks for Ashley and the staff. Great food and wine! Awesome experience! I will go back soon.
