   Amazing food and even more amazing views! It was just me and they accommodated one person and sat me by the window with perfect views of the sunset. Dani made me a delicious mocktail and Sarah (my server) was sweet and attentive and just an overall great person. The food was pricier but to be expected and totally worth it! Absolutely delicious!

    Wonderful experience and amazing view! We had the waffle and chicken, the chickpea stew, the Caesar salad with Salmon, and grilled cheese sandwich. All were delicious with chickpea stew and waffle and chicken as highlights. The sangria was also really good. Definitely recommend for a special lunch with incredible views.

    Great view , wonderful service, but one bad experience one of the female staff told me that I couldn’t enter bcos I didn’t have a reservation and it could take a month for me to get a reservation, I had to step and go online and I got a reservation for in just 10 mins , it would be nicer if she told me to go Online and check if u can find a reservation instead of making it look so impossible. I loved the garlic bread well made , the 4 corn soup broth was somewhat salty it could be better, the salmon was well cooked that’s great but also on the salty side, the passion fruit cock tail was also wonderful ,it’s a great place

    Sky View Bistro does so much more than provide stunning views across The Rockies and Banff. The food is delicious and the service; in our case provided by Eric, is attentive and knowledgeable; both in terms of the menu and the location. Don’t miss the chance to take the steps to the summit of Sulphur Mountain where the views are even more impressive.; especially at sunset. It’s the perfect way to walk off your meal. Once you add the cost of the Gondola tickets, it’s an expensive night out, but it’s worth every penny. Just do it!

    Fantastic views, and equally wonderful food and service. Our party had lunch - soup and salad, chicken and waffles, gourmet grilled cheese and salad, smoked salmon toasts, and grilled chicken over salad. Everyone loved their meal. Try the passion fruit sangria - yum!!! Service and meal were upscale. Definitely an experience not to be missed when visiting the Banff Gondola!

    This restaurant is a must if you are going to Banff. Go up the gondola early to explore. The food is amazing but the view is insane. Good luck getting that reservation.

    Had the Chop and Fries, the was enough chop for 2. Could cut back on the portion size and charge a little less. Also, the desert was on the small size. I would still recommend.

    The gondola was one our most fun experiences in Banff, and the food here was the best of our whole Canadian Rockies trip. The serving staff was friendly and helpful, even when the place was packed. Reserve for dinner half an hour before sunset - you’ll be after most of the crowds and get the most spectacular view.

    The overall experience was underwhelming - the food choice quite limited (which is OK if the food is good, but it was no better than an average restaurant). The acoustics in the room make it very noisy and difficult to hold a conversation. Very few tables actually have the view they push in the PR - we didn't get one.

    Our server, Hugo, was amazing and interested in our dining experience. We wish that the food and drink quality lived up to his service and expertise. Our main courses were totally gross (sadly). The food was delivered looking like a kids meal. The presentation was hugely undesirable. The kitchen had trouble preparing medium temp salmon. The restaurant obviously has an unbelievable view. I’d recommend going for drinks and appetizers.

    Such a great and memorable experience!!! Absolutely stunning view and delicious food. Our server was so sweet and attentive making our experience that much better. Easily the best restaurant in/near the banff (nothing against the rest, this one just takes the cake). 10 out of 10 definitely recommend!

    Worth it if only for the views. But the food was really quite good and not too pricey. Interesting to try Canadian wines as well. Note however that access is via a pricey gondola ride. But while up there, the outdoor boardwalk and upstairs lookouts and such are an added perk.
