The Grande Kitchen + Bar

Late night pizza dinner. Gluten-free also available. Comfy atmosphere. Great service. Just across the street from Basecamp Resorts.

What a hidden gem. Delicious food. Excellent service! Gluten-free options on the menu were available and delicious!

We stopped at The Grande Kitchen & Bar in Canmore for lunch on our way from Calgary to Banff, and it was a pleasant surprise. The vibe is cozy, tucked inside a resort, and our waiter was very friendly and helpful throughout the meal. The menu has a good variety—salads, pasta, pizza, and even brunch options (still available after 12, which is nice). They also cover vegetarian and gluten-free needs, plus a kids’ menu, so it works well for different groups. We tried the pasta, which came with a lot of bell peppers, giving it a slightly sweet flavor. My burger was customized because of my allergies, and they were really accommodating about it. It was tasty, though I did notice a bit of that strong meat aroma—probably just me adjusting since I’m new to eating meat again after years of being vegetarian. Overall, food was solid, the setting was comfortable, and the service made the stop worthwhile. Prices are in the $20–30 range per person, which feels fair for the quality and variety. A good lunch spot if you’re passing through Canmore.
