    What I Ate in Canmore, Banff, & Calgary

    What I ate in Canmore and Banff

    My boyfriend and I recently took a little road trip down to the mountains for the opening of Moxy Banff (read all about that here!) and we had the loveliest time. The weather was perfect, the sun was shining and the mountains were looking as beautiful as ever. Now, I must admit, food is never at the top of my list when I’m in the mountains. Like any touristy destination, restaurants are always hit or miss in Canmore and Banff. They’re usually overpriced and the food isn’t topnotch. But, surprisingly this time around, every restaurant we tried was absolutely delicious! It was definitely a weekend filled with good food, good friends, and good laughs! What more could you want?!

    As you’re reading this post all about what I ate in Canmore, Banff, and Calgary, I will actually be in Europe (specifically Paris, London, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Dublin, etc). And you already know I’m documenting every single item of food I’m eating and every latte I’m drinking. I can’t wait for all of my What I Ate in Europe posts! They’re going to make this one look lame in comparison. Sorry, Alberta.
