Mountain Restaurant
Review
About
At Mountain Restaurant you can have both a scenic view and a delicious dinner. Our family owned and operated restaurant in Lake Louis allows foodies to eat an amazing meal while being in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Stare out into the beautiful scenery as you chow down on our grilled bulgogi or maple salmon. Our steaks are also to die for. Next time you stop in town, come have a bite, or, enjoy an espresso at our coffee shop next door.

Nice set up and easy to get into location. I would have to say though the food was average. My husband and I both had cheeseburgers. I was disappointed that they appeared to be Costco prime rib burgers. I think if I am paying $17 for a burger this should not be a meat patty I can buy in a store and BBQ myself! I didn’t not ask so I can’t guarantee they are store bought but if the shape was very similar. My side salad was beautifully fresh and my husband’s fries were delicious:)

I am sorry you did not enjoy our burgers. We do not carry costco burgers. We are currently looking at swapping our burger patties. We hope you enjoyed your visit in Lake Louise

The food here was okay. The French fries were vert tasty but the rest of the food was not that great. There bbq sauce is very spicy (and not advertised to be so) and there spicy chipotle mayo is kinda gross. They are heavy on the sauce so bring some extra wipes! The service was decent, but at one point me needed more water and our waitress was out smoking right in front of the doorway (no 5 meter rule here??). Nothing

I am sorry the food was not to your liking. I will address our BBQ sauce with our chefs immediately. Our chefs are trained to taste the food daily to ensure quality is consistent to our customers. I will also address the service staff smoking near the doorway, I apologize for that. We are happy to take care of you if you are ever in the area. We hope you enjoyed your stay in Lake Louise.

One of the most manageable ways to go out to eat outside the hotels and resorts in Lake Louise. Good standard, few Unpacked. Neat burgers and simple dishes after the day trip around Lake Louise. Friendly service and rustic atmosphere.

We came here for lunch and were seated very quickly in a booth with a lovely mountain view. Our server was excellent! As for the food, we ordered the smoked meat poutine and the chicken tenders, which were mediocre at best and very overpriced for what they were. To be entirely honest, they tasted a lot like the Costco tenders, fries and poutine. The poutine was missing the chives, and the smoked meat and jalapenos were not integrated well into the dish, just tasted like something hashed together in a hurry. I debated about whether I wanted to write this review, because much of the other reviews summarize our experience adequately, and the owner seems to be hostile and defensive in their responses to other reviews, but here it is.

After too many days of eating pizzas and pastas through our road trip in the Rockies, we were looking for a change. The Thai shrimp noodle soup was exactly what my wife and I needed! Zesty, spicy and flavorful (and halal to boot!), it rivaled some of the best Thai food we've had in the Toronto area. One of my sons had the Beyond Meatball linguini and really enjoyed it, while the other substituted shrimp in place of the chicken linguini. Portion sizes are great and the food is tasty! Unfortunately, almost all the service sector is struggling with short staffing because of the pandemic, so they only had a few servers on staff. But they did an admirable job trying to ensure we all were looked after. In fact, even after the servers put up a sign indicating that the dine-in section was closed, a few people still came in and the staff served them. Because there are so few options in the Lake Louise area, I can understand why hungry travelers are desperate to get in for a meal before retiring for the night. The servers were very considerate. Of course, prices are what you'd expect for the mountain areas, but overall we had a much better experience here than at other places.

Stopped by here for lunch. Given its location and appearance from the outside, I had been expecting basic diner food prepared with efficiency in mind. I was surprised to find it a step up. Not gourmet dining but good quality food . A very good lunch choice for casual family dining.

We ordered two pizzas from this restaurant after a very long day of road trip. There is limited options for eating in the area and we needed to have something quick for the family to be able to see the lakes. We ordered buffalo chicken and pepperoni. Hands down, they were the worst pizzas we ever had. There was no sign of chicken on the pizzas. They were full of salt and cheese and worst of all, it was a rip off. We paid $55 for two medium sized pizzas. Please stay away and try something else in the area. I would have much preferred to pick up some groceries if the store was open to avoid this.

I am really sorry for the delay in the response but we do not carry pizzas in the summer? So this is definitely not us?

Price: first of all, expect tourist pricing. Anywhere in Banff or Lake Louise or Jasper, do expect to pay higher so don't complain.
Service: our server Megan is so nice. I would give her a 6 star rating if that was available.
Food: we had the Bulgogi and Thai curry with shrimp (but shrimp was out so they gave us chicken instead) and the taste was great and the portion was very decent. Note: the curry is spicy.
Verdict: This place is good and definitely worth a try.

As with many places, they were struggling with staffing. But still, their ‘features dishes’ were not good. The Shrimp with pasta was basically spaghetti with tail-on shrimp and their other featured chicken dish still was dry, even with soy sauce poured on it.

I am sorry you did not enjoy your experience. All our sauces are made in house. If you were unhappy with the chicken dish we will always offer another dish at no charge. We hope you enjoyed your visit to lake louise.

Stopped in for a late lunch; we were immediately seated by a friendly host and were given waters by our server fairly quickly after being seated. The food was really good - I had the bulgogi which was nice and hot and also beautifully presented. The service was fast and friendly, and the restaurant was very clean and had a great atmosphere.

We were absolutely happy with our dinner. Service was attentive and friendly. No long waiting times. Tomato shrimp linguine was tasty, tomato sauce tasted homemade. Bulgogi was really a surprise - beef was tender - it was really good (portion almost too big for one person). Cheesecake with cream as dessert was a blast !

Went twice and the waitresses were great both times. The food was nice, short wait times and the prices were reasonable. The staff were able to offer useful tips on the area and the location was convenient.

The thinly sliced and marinated meat dish is our favorite. But before ordering, check that the Korean Chef is on duty. Once we had a terrible meal, and I suspect that someone else prepared it. Servings are large. My wife and I share one plate. (once you are into the eighties you eat less)

Tried this place out for lunch and wasn’t expecting much as it’s right beside a gas station. The prices of the meals were decent compared to some of the other restaurants around.
To our surprise, the portions were well worth their price and the taste was excellent! Menu had a great selection of meals for both kids and adults and the staff were welcoming and pleasant.
Perfect place to grab a good meal and would definitely return.

We ate here both nights we were in Lake Louise. We had Samantha as our server both times, and she was excellent. My wife had the Red Thai Curry twice, and I had the Bulgogi Beef and Pipestone Burger. Well presented and very tasty. We would not hesitate to eat here again!!
