This is probably the best place to have some breakfast in Banff. Don't miss the eggs benedict here. Oh, and the waffles were good too! There was a little bit of a line-up when we got to the resort around 10.30am. But when we were done around 12 the line up was pretty long. So I would recommend you come... More

Every so often we head off to Banff to enjoy a day in the mountains. A stop at Melissa's is always part of the day. The food is always great and the service is fantastic. I totally enoy being able to order 1/2 or smaller orders of my favorite things (like the Eggs Benedict). My husband had the grilled cheese... More

Plenty of choice on the menu. Food excellent. As someone with a small appetite it was great to see a 5oz. steak on the menu.

9 of us went for breakfast before skiing and were treated to an amazing experience. I had the Huevos Rancheros which was more than I could ask for, I had it with the Chorizo sausage that is made in house. My wife had Eggs Benedict that she enjoyed so much she couldn't stop talking about them all day. The boys... More

I went for lunch with my son, we were seated at a nice table immediately by a very nice woman. I had a Beef Dip and French Onion Soup and let me tell you did they produce big time. I asked and was told the soup was made from scratch and could you ever tell. Don't pass on the French... More

We have enjoyed breakfast at Melissa's in the past - this visit we wanted to try it for dinner - Great choice. Steaks and Prime Rib were perfectly cooked. And a daughter loved the pasta special. The Caesar salad came served in large wooden bowl and was delicious. Our server was very friendly. There is a reason that this place... More

After a day on the Banff mountains a meal at Melissa's was a perfect pick of any of the dining establishments in the town of Banff. The Prime Rib was excellent - good portion, cooked to my request perfectly, and accompaniments were well cooked and presented as well. Caesar salad and vegetables were crisp and tasty, and the horseradish with... More

We went here for dinner after a few days in Banff and were extremely surprised at what a great place Melissa's was. The service was amazing the food was spectacular but what really stood out compared to other restaurants in Banff was the price. Salads, rolls, vegetables are all included in the price, unlike other overpriced steakhouses in Banff. They... More

Maybe I should have gone for standard eggs and bacon, but I ordered the Swiss Pancake and was really looking forward to it. It was not what I expected and not what I wanted. It's thick pancake mixed with calzone...so pancake with Cheese and apples inside and its super rich but not in a good way. I was actually hoping... More
