| Grizzly House Restaurant |  | Swiss | Informal | Yes, there is fondue and hot rocks cooking, which is their own version of the traditional Swiss raclette. Then these more traditional elements are mixed with buffalo and caribou and alligator and Alberta beef to provide a wide variety of food experiences. This all takes place in a setting that is somewhere between an idealized Swiss chalet and a hand-hewn mountain cabin. Smoking is encouraged, but the ventilation system seems to carry away the stench quite well. Reservations appreciated. | 207 Banff Avenue (on the main strip on the right hand side as you enter the townsite) Banff, AB 403-762-4055 www | 11:30 a.m. - midnight | |||||
| Ticino | | Swiss | Informal | Banff has become home to a number of Swiss natives who have made this the fondue capital of Canada. This is an up-scale restaurant with a Swiss Italian emphasis. This adds pastas to fondue, and then complements this whole mix with local meats and flavours to make it more Banffish. Reservations recommended. | 415 Banff Avenue (on the main strip, just before you reach the "tourist district" in the High Country Inn.)
