We loved this place. Best burger I’ve had in a very long time (bison burger), plus the waiter was first class. They catered really well for my coeliac wife and the beers they had from the 3 Bears local brewery were excellent too.

The service was decent and the atmosphere is great, but the pizza has definitely changed. It was disappointing to learn that the gluten free crust is different. The crust is more crunchy and doesn’t taste as nice; the previous option was soft and could hardly tell it was gluten free. It also seems they are very inconsistent with topping amounts. Ordered the exact same pizza on the regular crust as well and it had about half the toppings as the gluten free one.

We had a delicious meal last night. Our server Cate, was very helpful as I am gluten intolerant and she made sure everything I ate was safe. I could eat most things on the menu so if you’re gluten free, I highly recommend this restaurant!!! It was soo nice to be able to enjoy most of the foods and to also enjoy the ginger beef, that they light on fire with brandy at your table! I never get to eat cool things like that so thank you so much Brazen, for all the gluten free options!!

Came for supper, love that they offer gluten free options as we have a Celiac family member. Super busy, prime time to eat and was Family Day.

As a family with celiac disease, finding a safe and truly delicious dining experience can be a challenge—but Lupo exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we walked in, the staff was knowledgeable, kind, and completely accommodating to our gluten-free needs. This was one of the best meals I have ever experienced!
We enjoyed the chicken parmigiana, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—completely gluten-free and absolutely amazing. The pesto pasta was fresh and flavorful, with a sauce that tasted homemade and rich without being heavy. And the chocolate cake? Decadent, moist, and hands-down one of the best gluten-free desserts we’ve ever had.
Lupo is a must-visit for anyone looking for safe, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared gluten-free food. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit!

Dined here on the weekend, I have mixed feelings about our experience. First, I want to say our servers were very polite and attentive, did everything right, so no issues there. The atmosphere was also really great; we are locals to the area and this was our first time visiting Banff Springs.
Before booking our reservation, I communicated with staff to ensure I would be able to order from the Castello menu, as I cannot have gluten, dairy, or raw tomato. Staff assured me that they took note of my dietary restrictions and that they would be able to accommodate me - awesome, we were really looking forward to our meal.
Fast forward, I was choosing my dish, and asked if the risotto could be made dairy free - the kind waitress checked with the kitchen and confirmed that yes, no dairy would be added, but that pistachio oil could be used as a substitute to not lose the creaminess of the dish; so that's what I went with as my safe option.
I received the plate and confirmed with the server "it's gluten and dairy free right?" to which he replied "yes, all of the above" (I've learned to always double check, because mistakes happen). Anyway, let me tell you, this risotto tasted incredible.. we were so hungry after quite a busy day, and it was really hitting the spot - so much flavour, very creamy and cooked just right - wonderful, until I realised there was something on top that looked like a shaved cheese. We immediately got the attention of the waitress, and asked her if it was dairy free, and if that was cheese on top. She looked at it, and said she wasn't sure, that it shouldn't be cheese because she told the kitchen about my allergies, but that she would check. The chef came out a few moments later and when he asked me how it was, I told him it was delicious, but that I was concerned that the dish contained dairy. He proceeded to tell me that the dish was dairy free, and that the cheese on top was a certain kind of "sheep cheese, not cow cheese", and therefore safe for me to eat because there is no lactose or anything dairy in it. I tried to explain to him that I can't have any kind of dairy - dairy is not just from cow... if it's made from any sort of animal milk, it is dairy and I expected a chef, especially at a fine dining restaurant of all places, to know this information, especially if the menu claims to have gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options as this one did.
The chef didn't seem to pleased with what I was telling him, but he did offer to remake my dish or suggested "eat it and find out that maybe sheep cheese is something you can have" after I told him I had eaten goat cheese before and not reacted as badly as I do with cow dairy products - feeling a little awkward at this point and not wanting to wait another half hour for a new dish while my partner enjoyed his meal, I did turn down his offer to remake the dish, so that's on me, I understand that. I ended up scraping the visible cheese off the top and gave it to my boyfriend to eat, but am now unfortunately experiencing a breakout because of it (thankful my allergy is not a severe one).
I'm really not one to complain, but after thinking about this, I felt the need to say something as allergies should be taken seriously - what if somebody with a more severe reaction was to experience the same service I did. Mistakes happen, that's understandable, but to not really understand what "dairy" means when working at a high-class restaurant is what I don't get. The fact that I confirmed my allergies on the phone, then upon first interaction with staff after being seated, again when inquiring about the specific dish, and finally when it arrived at the table, and I still got served dairy, is just sad. For the price we paid to dine here, I guess we had higher expectations.
3/5 because I want to at least credit the waitress, server, and bartender for their job well done.
I'm not sure if we will give the restaurants here another chance out of fear of a similar experience. Waldhaus seems to have more allergy-friendly options so maybe will try in the future.

The first time I came here I had a great experience. Food was awesome and the service was somehow even better. Second time around not so great.
My server was quite rude and difficult to deal with. I went to order a drink I had the time prior and he was quick to shut me down and tell me that that wasn’t possible and they couldn’t do that. The server was quite pushy and made it clear he wanted me out of there as he missed apart of my order and didn’t try to fix it. I’m celiac and the time prior I wasn’t able to have the cubed hashbrowns due to cross contamination and today there was no issue with it or I should say the server didn’t care. Regardless the potatoes used weren’t washed prior to deep frying as I had two bites and each one I had gotten grit/sand in my teeth when chewing.
I had previously thought this place was a top tier Banff restaurant but now I don’t know what to think.

I posted about our 1st night's dinner under my other profile, the 2nd dinner needed a dedicated, separate review because it was PHENOMENAL! Dominque the resident Vegan server who had introduced herself to us the night before, seated us in her section this night :) We were overjoyed! She is upbeat, warm, friendly, caring AND an excellent, intuitive server! I, based on last night's dinner, was eager to order something similar to my partner's meal; but Dominque explained that the chef had a cauliflower curry in mind for us, all made special and off menu to accomodate my Vegan, gluten, soy, nut, tomato, olive and corn free diet. I was set on my original request and the kitchen happily accommodated! My partner got the fully loaded lentil burger with pickles on the side, and mine a modified squash risotto with sauteed veggies. Our starters were the same as the first night as they were sooo good! As we were finishing up our mains, Dominique came out beaming holding two magnificent dinner plates - she said the chef really wanted us to try the curry!!! WOW! BLOWN AWAY! How thoughtful, next level kind of service this was! The curry was very asian fusion, light gravy, simple flavours, just delicious! Our dessert was the amazing chocolate mousse that is made daily, but off menu. Be sure to ask for it alongside the incredible coffee's and latte's! BRAVO PRIMROSE, BRAVO! You have made memories for us that will last our lifetime :)))

Had the most amazing dinner tonight at The Fat Ox Banff. What a treasure to experience.
Mathieu our server made our night one to remember. His food and wine recommendations were perfect and ensure us an incredible gastronomy experience!!
- 30 month Prosciutto, mustard melon, aged balsamic, arugula
- Venison Carpaccio, evoo, parmigiana, capers, arugula, sea salt
- Shrimp “Scampi”, Calabrian chili garlic butter, focaccia
- Bison Tagliatelle, gluten free, classic meat bolognese
- Rigatoni Carbonara, pancetta, egg yolk, parmigiana
- Freeman’s Abbey Merlot
Best part for me is that they put in the same care and attention to my gluten free substitute that they did to the other dishes we had. I cannot always say that.
Thank you Mathieu and Fat Ox Banff. Totally recommend a visit - mouth watering meal.

Huge selection of pho, vermicelli and assortment of Chinese and Vietnamese dishes. Pho was hearty despite lacking the flavours of an authentic pho broth. The portion was definitely big enough for us to share (2 pho bowls for 3 females). Sesame chicken was also nice and sweet! The servers were very accommodating and knowledgable given that one of us is gluten free. Some seats have great view of the mountains too!
