Description: “Le Beaujolais, an elegant oasis of fresh flowers, outstanding wines, great food and fine service, and has been parked above the corner of Banff and Buffalo since 1980.

Le beaujolais is a classic. “ John Gilchrist CBC Radio Restaurant Critic The Menu offers something for everyone; AAA Alberta Beef, Elk Osso Bucco, Duck, Veal and a variety of Seafood entrees including Butter Poached Lobster, Arctic Char and Dover Sole. The restaurant also offers an extensive wine list. Renowned Restaurant critic, John Gilchrist, sums up Le Beaujolais best by stating "I just can't believe how reasonable the prices are for the quality, the service, the room, the food and the location.

My spouse and I have just visited Restaurant Le Beaujolais in Banff over the May long week-end for our 26th wedding anniversary. We were looking for an encore to our experience there on our 25th. In this, we were not disappointed. To us, a trademark of this restaurant is its optimal mixture of comfortable tradition and innovation in its offerings... More

Our family of cousins met in Banff for a visiting weekend. We hadn't seen each other since our Grandmother passed. It was a very special weekend to get reacquainted and just enjoy each other's company. The restaurant was suggested to us by the concierge in our hotel and it was perfect. We arrived at 7:00 and we left at 11:00... More

Le Beaujolais is my favourite restaurant in Banff for a fine dining experience. Not only is the food fantastic but the service is truly superb. The atmosphere is quiet and conducive to conversation. We never feel rushed although by European standards it would still be considered a little too quick (1.5 hrs from aperitif to dessert). Our only quibble was... More

We went to the Beaujolais to celebrate our wedding anniversary, ....and what a celebration it was! We ordered the six course surprise menue and were in awe with every single course. Service, presentation, creativity, choice of ingredients, flavours were all outstanding. Every course was splendidly paired with a complementing wine. All in all a true celebration for the senses!!!

We showed up for out 9PM reservation on a Friday night. We ordered a couple martinis and the foie gras appetizer. The appetizer was easily the highlight of the meal. For our main course we ordered the duck breast and an Alberta New York strip. Duck was above and beyond our expectations. However, the chef totally missed it on the... More

My first visit to "The Beauj" (as I've learned the locals call it) was back in 2004. There again today I enjoyed a great atmosmosphere, wonderful staff and fantastic quality for money spent. It's easy to spend 30+ at for a plate at any given restaurant these days, but hard to find food AND service that live up to the... More

First time in Banff and after reading the reviews on tripadvisor we decided to try Le Beaujolais. We opted for the Bistro Cafe de Paris and got a wonderful window table. This restaurant was pretty quiet, its just that time of year in Banff. The food was the best we have had in Banff and the service was just perfect... More

It is always such a pleasure going to this restaurant as we've been going there from the very first day they opened (in 1981, I believe). My wife started with the Salmon trio and I started with the popular combo which included steak tartare - a dish I love! We then shared two delicacies for the main course ... the... More

Despite its name, we would describe Le Beaujolais's menu as more continental than French. This is not a negative and not surprising, since the owner is Swiss. We liked the variety. My husband ordered their elk osso bucco that came with braised red cabbage and spinach spaetzle, an Italian/German combo. I ordered the day's special, veal saltimbocca (Italian), that came... More
