Fodor's Expert Review The Bison

$$$$ Banff National Park Canadian

Not only is the "Rocky Mountain comfort food" served here made with organic local ingredients, but there's also an emphasis on slow cooking, with everything—down to the ketchup and mustard for the bison burgers—prepared from scratch. The contemporary decor, with hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings, focuses attention on the open kitchen, where the chefs prepare signature dishes such as bison onion soup and braised bison short ribs with roasted potatoes. Wild British Columbia steelhead trout, poached halibut, and Alberta lamb also grace the menu.
