Tekarra has an interesting menu, but the kitchen and waitstaff didn't really deliver. The place has lots of potential and clearly aims high, but the food and service just weren't very good. One of our two entrees came out cold, and the waiter seemed miffed that we mentioned it. Unimaginative wine list. Maybe Jasper just doesn't have any good restaurants... More

We stayed at Tekarra Lodge, which are log cabins, quaint, nice, and clean. The dining room was just across the way from our cabin. We thought we would stay close by so not to have to drive. We never expected such amazing food! Trio of sockeye salmon, tempura, on quinoa and smoked. The smoked salmon presentation-brought to the table with... More

Staff were very pleasant and accommodating, although the chorizo was brought to the table (burnt & whole) after the dish that should have included it had been served, freshly ground black pepper wasn't offered. My fillet steak was excellent, although my wife's main course (Canadian seared scallops) contained only three scallops, expensive @ $43! The dessert menu was placed on... More

We had an absolutely outstanding dinner at Tekarra Lodge. Everything from the menu, to the quality of the food, to the atmosphere and ambience, and the service were outstanding. Although we ate at the Fairmont Jasper Lodge and in downtown Jasper, this was far and away our favorite dinner place. After dinner we walked to the sitting area nearby that... More

We spent ten days in Jasper and Banff with friends and all agreed that our dinner at Tekarra was the best. We all ordered different entrees and everyone was convinced that they made the best choice. The presentations for the different dishes were very creative and set the stage for a wonderful dining expierience. We also appreciated the professionalism of... More

About our 6th year going here...and now, enough! The whimsical plating truly was cute last year...this year, I found it tiresome. Only one main choice for vegetarians and no substitutions offered. Why not offer a chef choice of veggie sides? Some odd mixtures of taste...the truffle rissoto was great and my husband enjoyed the tofu dish. But, the price was... More

The service was just the right balance of friendly and professional. The food courses came out at exactly the right time and pace. Our meal was very pricey but well worth it. Wonderful experience.

Best salmon appetizers and incredible filet. I have travelled the world and surprisingly found the best dinner and service in the hideaway place of the Tekarra lodge. And they even served our favourite wine, Frogs leap. Cheers, jack

We had not read the reviews but friends had booked us in to stay at the tekarri lodge. After a busy day sight seeing we decided to have a simple meal @ the lodge. Boy were we surprised. Five star dinning but in a casual atmosphere. We arrived very casual after hiking all day and was welcomed in. Perusing the... More
