We ate at the Maple Leaf twice. Lunch was fantastic; dinner was good. One of Banff's better places to eat.

We recently had both lunch and dinner at The Maple Leaf. Lunch downstairs, and dinner upstairs. An eclectic menu with reasonable pricing and a good wine selection. Great ambiance also - Wait staff were excellent and prompt without being overbearing. We will definitely return if and when we go back to Banff...............

Came here for my birthday dinner and had a wonderful experience. We had the lobster and seafood platter special and goats cheese truffles. Food was excellent, the least favourite was the rice pilaf that came with the platter. The waiter gave me a free cocktail for my birthday which was a nice touch. Came back the next day for lunch...

We were on our honeymoon so decided to go all out for a meal/ The Maple leaf is not the cheapest restaurant but worth every penny. The food was lovely, our waiter was so helpful and I had my favourite bottle of wine of the whole holiday in this restaurant. Well worth splashing out on this restaurant.

While shopping in Banff my friend and I decided to stop in for lunch. My friend had been to this place before and loved it so I said I wanted to try it too. The menu had some amazing selections on it – the sandwiches described on the menu sounded great! I wish we had more of an appetite (we... More

Probably the best Christmas dinner we have had, or on par with one we had in Oz. it's been 5 months now and my wife still raves on about it " the strawberry and peach crumble was to die for" apparently. Superb all round. 10 stars.

Went for dinner in late September. The menu look very good but when we got our food it didn't live up to our expectations. We found it over priced and not worth the money at all. The server was good and even suggested other places we enjoyed better than here.

An excellent restaurant with nicely prepared food from a fixed menu. The salad was fresh and the salmon was nicely seasoned and fresh. We dined in an upstairs private dining room and the service was excellent. A group of about 20 people. I would go back again in a heartbeat.
