Reviews of The Raven Bistro (Catering)

jesse young

Wonderful food, kind servers, I can’t find the reason for four stars.

Jackie LaRouche

The food at Raven Bistro is delicious (especially the items with halloumi) and the staff are very friendly. Cant wait to come back!

Michael Campbell

Absolutely amazing place to eat in Jasper. The restaurant has a very upscale yet homelike feel. The booths are very comfortable and seating is arranged in a very socially friendly manner. The food menu is quite short but certainly holds its weight as everything is delicious. It provides a hearty selection of meat dishes, as well as vegan options, shareables, and a small selections of desserts. Detailed descriptions aid the customer in deciding, although many of the options will have your mouth watering before the first bite. The drink menu is filled with beautifully built cocktails, craft beers, and fine wines. While most upscale restaurants in Jasper will have you gasping at the bill, The Raven Bistro is quite fair. My entree, two cocktails, and a dessert cost under $70. Highly recommended!

Kelly Benson

Can't bother to keep their reservations in order and so my anticipated meal at the highest ranked restaurant in Jasper turns into a pub meal down the street. Offered to start me at a four top but I would have to then have to move mid:meal. Seems that Wendy's is more organized. Hard pass.

Chantal Gagnon

Stopped by for a desert and was so impressed we came back the next night for dinner. Met Mike who owns and runs the restaurant. Always enjoy a place that has a working owner. That extra touch really shows. The salmon was amazing but the best was still the pecan pie (vegan tart). My wife wok likely be talking about the hot chocolate drink for while. We will be back.

Jordan Leick

Came here based on the reviews as well as the recommendation of a foodie friend. Excellent food and drinks! Sweet and spicy margarita was to die for, I ordered a second one - can't remember the last time I ordered another round of the same drink. It was a tough call for us to choose our mains, we ended up with Three Pharaohs for me and Coconut Seafood pot for my friend. Both were delicious and also very sizeable servings! We wanted to leave room for dessert, so we skipped the appetizers and went for the dessert special, which was some sort of mango cheesecake situation that was absolutely amazing. Waitstaff were courteous and readily available. Can't wait to come back here again! There are like at least 5 more things I want to try here.

David Fuerbringer

Very nice small cozy great happy hour 1/2 price scotch YIPPEE excellent menu. Must try place when in Jasper

Mandy Eve-Barnett

Amazing food with different flavours. Here you can try elk and bison. A lot of options for the seafood lovers, gluten free aware and vegans. Patio has only 4 tables. Service is very attentive and timely. I would definitely recommend this place and will come back for the dinner menu (4-11 pm)

Steven Sykes

Very unique, balanced, tasty dishes. Not a mainstream? We had very picky guests, from GF Celiac, to veg, vegan and good real seafood or meat. All were superb! And our service was super pro!

Cheryl North Johnson

Always excellent service and delicious food with a view of the mountains. One of my favorite spots in Jasper. Happy hour from 3 to 6pm with half off wine.

Madison Goy

Great food and nice variety for all different tastes. Everyone in our family was wowed by their dishes. Friendly servers as well.

Andrew Van der Leek

The food here is above average at best. The portions are quite small. It seems like a lot of the dishes have an Indian vibe to them, so if you're a fan of Indian food, you'll enjoy the twist this place provides. Considering the portion sizes, this place is far too pricey.

Imen Azabou

I had a great experience at the Raven Bistro. In speaking with our waitress who was born and raised in town, she told me the owners are a husband and wife team. He runs the front, she has the back of the house. I had the Moroccan Strudel and I thought it was outstanding. Here is why... This was a very smart and delicious dish. The sweet potato and chickpea filling had a very nicely spiced Moroccan flavor. Somehow, the chef had placed it into a perfectly baked pillow of phylo dough. On top of it was arugula, sliced almonds and a little bit of cashew cheese. Under it was a dried tomato paste. This dish was beautifully presented and delivered amazing savory, sweet and salted flavors in the right proportions. While not a vegetarian, I was amazed at how satisfying and filling this dish was. I could barely finish it but couldn’t bare not too. Well done chef!!! As to the people that reduce their rating based on price, I thought that for the high quality and creativity of the food, the pricing was reasonable... that said I didn’t order alcohol. As to the people who reduced their rating because they didn’t have leftovers, I just don’t think The Raven Bistro is that kind of place. If you are looking for a special place in a very out of the way place to enjoy a smart and delicious selection of food, I think this is a great place to try.

They had some exotic sounding dishes on the menu like; Canary Island Buddha Bowl, Salade Nicoise, Coconut Kaffir Lime Seafood Pot, Buffalo Chicken Wafflewich, Falafel Naanwich and some more. They even had elk meat on the menu for that day. I decided to have a Spiced Lamb Burger with some Raven Salad, and my wife ordered a Cheese Pasta with ham and bread crumbs. We enjoyed the food and the friendly service. Prices were reasonable, maybe a bit on the high side. We would love to visit again on our next visit to Jasper.

nick cook

Blackberry Orange Mojito !!! The food was unforgettable!! The service and the prices were crazy good, and everything on the menu looked amazing!! Great options for any appetite. I had the Moroccan spiced dish and the portion was huge. The place was cozy and inviting and I will be returning with many friends!!

Jamie McCalman

One of the best meals I’ve had in the past few months + great and friendly service + comfy interior. Enjoyed the delicious, heart-warming vegan La Pastilla.

We stopped here for lunch and got two takeaway sandwiches and a bowl of soup. The sandwiches were premade but still tasted excellent and fresh. Service was very relaxed but friendly. The highlight was trying a coconut carrot cake donut!

Heather Faulkner

We had a great experience there. Food was great and good vegan options.

Shyanne Ewaskow

Everything about our visit was amazing. Great service and recommendations.....great food and flavors. Felt we were appreciated and not rushed to leave.

Speedy Gonçalves

This was an excellent meal. Moroccan spiced strudel and halibut were delicious. Servers were very friendly and attentive.

Jay Wilcox

We really enjoyed our meals. Only salmon was not good.

Soraya S

So delicious! I just needed some hot vegan food and this was perfect. I had the MOROCCAN CHICKPEA AND KALE STRUDEL. It was truly so flavourful and delicious! I like that they had several vegan options clearly separated on their menu. I only got takeout but the restaurant itself was very cute and the servers were all friendly. Food was ready quickly and had all the ingredients mentioned in the menu's description. There were cute plants at the door that I checked out while I waited for my food ????

Kevin Humphrey

OMG, if you are in Jasper you have to eat here. Service 10/10. Cocktails 10/10. Food 10/10. We had the calamari which was excellent. The niçoise salad also very good. Now, the elk osso bucco was fantastic. Finally, a restaurant that, when they say smoky, they mean smoky. And for us people that want and expect smoky this meal really delivers. And the decision to pair that meat with risotto and tomato with smoke was a good one. I must say it was one of the best restaurant meals I've had. On the covid19 front, the restaurant is well set up and following all of the rules. So, in my opinion, it is a safe place to dine. I highly recommend this restaurant......and enjoy!!

Riley Fache

Very busy. The rose cocktail is good. The bison is tasty but a little bit dry inside. The mussels are quite good.

Barb Cal

Our favorite place to eat in Jasper. The food is delicious and very well prepared. Mostly plant based, vegan which is exactly what we were looking for. We had the halloumi followed by the Raven salad which was so good. Cozy atmosphere with selection of booths and comfortable tables. Service is excellent - we were made very welcome. Highly recommended.

Joyce Jurgens

Really nice small bistro in Jasper. Extremely solid vegan options, good drinks and very friendly service.

Jesse McLean

We started the meal with the Moroccan Baked Brie. Simply marvelous! the brie was nicely melted and the chutney was spectacular. Followed up with the Braised Bison Short ribs. Again, a wonderful pairing. With the Cherry and Bourbon demi-glaze Truly magnificent. Finished the meal with their newest creation, the Mon Cheri. Fabulous! A delightful sponge cake with stewed pears apples and cranberries. We had not even though about stopping here until it came highly recommended from the staff at the Skytram. Well done!

Maegan Sheskey

Since 2014 this wonderful space has been our go to for anniversaries, birthdays, celebrations, and everything in between. Last week we had yet another great evening at the raven, and they even worked with my sister in law to surprise us with a bottle of wine during dinner. Thank you so much raven team for always providing us with thoughtful service and delicious food. Plus, as someone who deals with severe food allergies I am always confident with their food safety and consideration for cross contamination, so thank you for that !

Bjarni Ellert Ísleifsson

Nice cozy date night. Busy, book a table or plan to wait. Pricey and food was good, but schnitzel needed salt; no flavor. Drinks were the highlight

Jon Hruschak

Great food, awesome portion sizes, great taste and excellent service and quality

Mai Watson

Delicious. Best schnitzel in town better then the completion! ( I've tried them all in Jasper) Great service. Great atmosphere. Staff is wonderful. All around perfect experience.

Keith Campbell

A beautiful upscale dining experience at a reasonable price

Jake Z. Chang

Food was fantastic! Had five different appetizers with the kids and everything was great. Potentially some of the best fries I've ever aten!!!

Tina Sun

We went here for lunch - was well beyond high expectations. We had spicy halloumi and calamari as starters. Absolutely delicious. The calamari had a wonderful sauce with a slightly curry to it - wonderful flavour. Daily soup was a refreshing and super tasty coconut tomato soup - chicken shawarma wrap and chicken and waffles was very tasty. Great service here as well!

Amy Loewen

Really tasty food here and the service was really good. Very good seafood.

Sean L.

great food. Nice service. Been Calgary, Canmore, Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper since last week. This is the best food on this trip.

Matt Rafferty

Been here twice for both lunch and dinner, very tasty and special menu, loved it!

I ate everything so fast I didn't take photos of the three courses. The waiter was on point, always made great suggestions and inquiries to the kitchen after listening to our specific dietary requirements. My wife is ciliac and thanks to The Raven Bistro she enjoyed calamari for the first time since 2018

Enjoyed the food and drinks at the happy hours after a day on the hill skiing.

Caylynn Demings

Showed up for happy hour and enjoyed some $5 draught beer from Folding mountain brewery. The alpine cran beer was amazing, and so was our server!! I believe his name was Matt. Our food was unbelievably good, and decently priced. Excellent service, excellent drinks, excellent food!!!

Stuart Farley

Great food and good atmosphere. Recommend the Brie dish. So many flavours that come together perfectly!

Harrison Linden

The food here was okay. Not great. We had the brown sugar salmon and the schnitzel. The schnitzel was the better of the two dishes. The salmon came with a risotto which was mediocre at best. Okay - risotto is hard to make well. But the salmon, I found to be overcooked and dry. The first thing the host was telling everyone was that they want you to be done in 90 minutes. I get it. They're trying to herd as many people through as they can on a Saturday night. But it was still off-putting. If you go here and it's cold out, I recommend insisting on a seat away from the window. It was very cold sitting there. We were in the booth closest to the door which didn't help, I'm sure, but it really made it difficult to enjoy the experience. In the end, we didn't need anywhere near the 90 minute allotment as the food didn't warrant ordering dessert and the ambiance didn't warrant lingering.

Jennifer Lynn

I have never been so happy as a vegetarian. Thank you so much to the young lady with the Australian accent.

Marielle

An amazing experience from start to finish! Fondue with the Swiss cheese was delightful. Bocephus cocktail so yummy. We had the steak and the halibut, both were exquisite. Steak was cooked to perfection and the sauce for the fish was so flavourful. We finished the night with an ice wine and a crème brûlée, divine. Service by Kristen was fantastic she’s lovely. Theres a reason this place is a local favourite. Thank you so much

Boon Koh

Relaxed ambience with great music. Attentive service. Small but quality wine selection. Had the lamb shank, which is probably the best lamb I have ever tasted. My partner and I both lefty feeling full and satisfied for a very reasonable price, would highly recommend to others!

Surprisingly good food! Gluten aware as well!

Greg Greene

I can not say enough about the fabulous meal we had here. The offerings are very creative and enticing. It was hard to pick so, my husband and I shared an appetizer and a couple entrees. Services was excellent and the waiter made some great wine suggestions that paired very well with the meal.

Sabrina Charlebois

Great food and service. We had The Three Pharaohs, Buddha Bowl, and Seafood Bowl which were all really good. Highly recommend this spot for middle eastern food!

Jeremy Thudian

Wow wow wow. One of the best restaurant experiences of my life, in Jasper no less! Incredible food and delicious cocktails. Service was great. We overhead that the table next to us was visiting for their 7th time. Not hard to see why. Picture is of our entrees.

Ella Bella

The food is amazing, the atmosphere is perfect. Our server Cheryl was wonderful and so good at her job. SO MANY VEGGIE AND GLUTTEN FREE OPTIONS.

Robert Wolf

Enjoyed the shakshouka for brunch, it's kind of a Mediterranean take on huevos rancheros, and is a delicious hearty start for a day of Jasper activities. Came back later to enjoy cocktails at the bar; bartender was happy to get creative off-menu (try asking for the "Peach Old Fashioned").

Shir Diner

I tried the Buffalo chicken waffle sandwich(wafflewich)....wow it was absolutely delicious!! It was a perfect combo of spicy and crisped to perfection buffalo chicken, drizzled in a blue cheese aioli sauce to die for, topped with carrot slaw sandwiched between savory waffles grilled with green onions. YUM My husband was also very happy with the service and his meal, he had the lamb burger. The service was excellent, I loved the vibe here.

Dave Smyth

This place is amazing hands down. Very pleased with the service, customer service, everything . Christin was our waitress and she is just full of joy and so welcoming. Definitely coming back with my family next time. Love this place

The food here was amazing! Ive never seen a more tempting menu. We have the Spanish Wings and the Candied Boar flatbread for apps (delicious and well balanced) and the three pharaohs for the main course. I loved the lamb especially. The creme brulee was also delicious and perfect end to the evening. Best restaurant I’ve been to in Jasper

Eli Seth

Good food, nice menu with good variety, friendly service... would come again for sure. Great for passer through people. ????

Dorota Ulkowska

Great options for some exciting mountain food and amazing sea food. My wife and I tried the elk and it was by far the most tender and flavourful meat we have had to date. The service was friendly, helpful, and timely and their patio offered great privacy for our date. A bit more expensive than some places, but by far the best food I have had in Jasper. 10/10 would recommend.

Mick Carroll

One of the best reviewed restaurants in Jasper and it was okay. Nothing too special and the portions are huge which is great if you like the kind of thing. Good atmosphere in the restaurant.

Mayank Tandon

A great spot in town and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. I had the calamari and the schnitzel which were both great, lovely flavours and great portion sizes. My partner had the boar and bison flat bread which was also wonderful but the elk ossobuco wasn’t quite up to scratch for the price. The elk itself was cooked perfectly, the piece of meat was huge and it fell off the bone. However the risotto isn’t risotto. It’s not made with Arborio rice but instead (from what I can guess) normal white rice which gives it a very odd texture and it was quite bland. The food pairing is slightly off with a huge tomato chutney on the side too. The dish needs to be refined with the textures and flavours balancing more. The portions are great, for a Brit I’d say you only need one course! A little refinement would go a long way.

Patrick Dobler

Had the rack of lamb.... 10/10!!!! Waitress was very friendly and did an excellent job. Food and service was good. Will return again forsure!

German Martinez

Amazing food and drinks. Service was fantastic. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience

Ben Budlong

Really tasty food, great cocktails and friendly, helpful staff.

Walaa Kamal

Ordered the lamb & the La Pastille and both were amazing. Lamb was done perfectly, not always a simple feat. La Pastille was seriously so good and flavourful. Our server Britt was fantastic & food was very quick. We sat outside in the homemade Covid friendly patio and were SO impressed with the fact the owner made that. Everything about Raven Bistro was honestly excellent. Would go again in a heartbeat.

Akshya Sarathy

This is a Mediterranean restaurant and which has less options for vegetarian and it has nice environment

Brian MacKay

Love the Spanish spiced wings and cocktails, the service is so far the best during my trip.

Juan Morales

Awesome flavorful experience along with excellent service from Joust. One of the best meals we have had in quite a while. I would recommend what we had but I doubt you could go wrong on this menu!

Aaron York

The food and service was excellent. Went here for a semi formal dinner and it was an excellent location.

Faye S.

Can’t say enough good about this place. Ate here for supper twice on our long weekend vacation. The food is made for your palette, not just one genre. Rachel made our experiences amazing!

Lovely little place in Jasper. Great atmosphere, great staff, great food! Servings are pretty big so they're right when they say no one leaves hungry!

Devin Hesketh

Had an incredible afternoon here. Indulged in their amazing happy hour menu, enjoyed a couple of delicious wines at half price and devoured their fondue and other happy hour foods. Loved the experience, the staff and the food!

Lauren Player

Exquisite service and food. My wife and I were there on Oct 27th, and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Wish we had taken pictures, but we were very hungry :) The lamb shank was amazing, and it is a big helping. The steak was good too. Calamari is very good too. Our waitress really went beyond expectations to make our experience great. My wife's steak was a little under done. Our waitress got a new steak order put in right away, and made sure that the new steak was cooked to specification. What really made our day was that she gave us a great discount on our bill. We never had to ask for it. She just did it. Service like this makes us want to come back whenever we visit Jasper next :)

Bailey Delacey

This is such a cute little place. The decor is great, right down to the Raven statue by the bar. Excellent food. Quiet, Quant and comfortable. Our waitress, Cheryl was friendly and prompt. Great place to go for any occasion. Will definitely be eating here again the next time I visit Jasper.

Francis Licup

Let me just say, I had no time to take pictures of the food, because it smelled too amazing and the taste....you will be hard pressed to find a more balanced, professionally cooked and incredibly well presented food in Alberta. Although a little more expensive than the average food place. This is worth every cent and the tips. The lemon Schnitzle is a must try!

Will and Gina Harlock

We had the bison and the seafood pot, both of which were very tasty, followed by desert and tea. Great atmosphere, really exceptional service; knowledgeable and friendly.

L C

In all the years visiting Jasper I cannot believe this was my first time at The Raven Bistro. The food was stunning and the service, outstanding. I highly recommend The Bocephus cocktail. Great place for dinner!

Dena May

I found out about this place through trip advisor. Menu looked very good so booked it a few weeks in advance. I'm glad I did because it seemed busy the day of. The place has good decor and ambience and it was quite enough. We ordered tofu chorizo tostado. Zaatar halloumi, la pastilla, coconut and almond crusted halibut, the sweet and spicy margarita, and chocolate pecan tart. I absolutely LOVED both entrees and also liked appetizers. The dishes had a good balance of food vs. cold, sweet vs. savory and I thoroughly enjoyed them all. If I had to pick one that I thought was just okay comparatively, it would be the halloumi. I also found the margarita to be very good. Got it with half the sweetness which was perfect (I usually prefer sweeter cocktails). What made this one unique is the gingery taste. Lastly, the chocolate pecan tart was also good - very rich which went well with raspberry sauce.

We loved the food, service was great. Highly recommend trying this place out if your in Jasper! Thanks!!

Sung Kim

My boyfriend and I went there during our stay in the rockies and we had a very good time. We ate the dish The Three Pharaohs (beef, lamb and chicken) and the Elk Osso Buco’s plate and it was simply delicious. They also made good drinks and we had a very good service. I highly recommand this place if you visit Jasper!

Joseph Raczynski

We had a great meal and service. Loved the bison short ribs. Delicious.

Kurt Seifried

Great staff! Gorgeous bistro! Downside: food is overpriced and lacking seasoning/ flavour (I had the seafood pot), had to add salt and pepper twice. Also the portions are small, the amount of seafood was so small, meaning no left overs. Additionally the selection is small and more refined.

Trish

Delicious food, superb service. Plenty of vegetarian options. We will be returning. Book in advance, we weren't able to get a table one evening.

Albarr Faruqi

Great food. The fondue was amazing. Lovely staff who are very willing to help and cater to your needs even as a family with little kids. We had a lovely time and the food is definitely worth the try ????♥️????

Dhruv Saini

We are staying in Jasper for a few days and had the Raven Bistro for dinner on our first night. Wow! We were absolutely so happy with the quality of the food, the taste of everything, and the service. Thank you, we will definitely dine again

Mike Harvard

Really great dinner in Jasper. The lamb is so tender and juice. Definitely worth to try. also the sea food pot. Best restaurant in Jasper.

Danielle Ouellette

We had the pleasure of dining there October 13, 2021. I has the soup and salad and my husband had the Spanish wings. The meals were absolutely outstanding. The service was wonderful and a lovely atmosphere. I look forward to returning as soon as possible. I would recommend this place.

Crystal Gonzalez

The place was nice. My wife ordered the Bison Short Rib, it was good. I ordered Elk dish. It was really tough. I have to returned it. I ordered another dish it was nice. Things happened. The waitress offered a free dessert, Mango Ginger Cheese cake it was nice too. I appreciate that the place acknowledged the mistake and own it.

Margaux MacMillan

Will definitely eat here again on our next trip to Jasper. The seafood bowl was outstanding and the lemon mousse was a perfect ending. This is a smaller restaurant with a cozy relaxed feel. The staff was as good as the food, outstanding. Well done.

Nader Hallak

Wow! That place is amazing! Great variety of foods with healthy options/vegan/gf. I decided not the be the usual healthy freak and instead of a salad I got the street fries. And still - that divine dish arrived. It was a blissful symphony in my mouth! So far the best meal I've had in Canada! Service is great as well! Highly recommended place. I would like to thank the chef and the staff for bringing me this moment of joy and happiness!

Dan Budzynski

Best happy hour in Jasper! Half off wines by the glass, $5 pints (bottles and fraught!) and half off scotch from 3-5:30 I believe! Such an awesome deal. Love their cab wine and the boar belly flatbread (discounted for happy hour) - were awesome. Only 2 spots on the patio and a smaller inside but service and location were great. The seafood pot was lacking flavor, definitely needed a little kick, salt, and squeeze that lime they give you! Otherwise, wonderful!

Katharine Doyle

Compared to restaurants in the area, this is definitely one of the best. Compared to restaurants of the type in general, this place could use some more effort. I will talk about what I ordered, The Three Pharaohs: - The plate in total was enjoyable - The beef tenderloin was a bit chewy for me with some tendons. - Being Tunisian in blood, I immediately ordered this when I read "Harissa", unfortunately it was very different from the actual harissa but I really salute the attempt and the featuring of such ingredient. - The lamb needed some extra flavor with mediterranean spices, a hint of cumin maybe? and some more seasoning. - The chicken was pretty good - The orzo was a bit cold and underseasoned, but delicious. - The pita was very tasty! Keep it up!

Diego Mendez

Nice spot for lunch. Great menu with lots of variety and some interesting things you don't find everywhere. Lots of gluten friendly and vegan options, and good drink selection as well. Service was quick and friendly.

Kenneth Fung (Kenneth Fung)

As always the food was excellent, portions just right and the atmosphere was great. Managed to get an outside table on their patio. It was so nice to go out for dinner at a restaurant and not have to worry about masks and other restrictions. Although everything was nice and safe.

I had Elk and steak! I gotta say it was one of the best steaks I ever had! It melted in my mouth!

Rob MacMillan

I LOVE THIS PLACE! The food and service in impeccable! Aaaaand kudos to the owner for designing a cov*d friendly patio so a patron can still have an intimate dinner outside! Big Thank You going out to Rachel, our server who made our anniversary dinner extra special. Great food, great service A+

Steve Graham

My wife and I shared the cheese fondue and the steak and prawns entree. It's was the perfect combination. They have absolutely amazing craft cocktails, our server Janice was so welcoming and attentive and the kitchen staff is so talented! If you can get out for happy hour between 330 and 530 then can experience crazy half price wine and some of their signature appies (including fondue) at ridiculously low prices! It's a must if you're visiting Jasper .

Olga Deinega

Delicious food! Great vegan options, including a couple of desserts. The chocolate pecan pie is divine. Good selection of beers and cocktails and even some decent mocktails. We will definitely come back here next time we're in Jasper!

Craig Martens

Great food with friendly service. Really do have something special going on here. The use of herbs and spices in the dishes we had were wonderful. Best cucumber gin and tonic with a botanical gin i have ever had. Beer good. Wine selection is appropriate but not extensive. Well balanced menu catering to all dietary choices. The food really was fantastic and when combined with the friendly service made for the most memorable meal. Highly recommend you read the mmmmmmenu!

Martian Dan

Raven Bistro did not disappoint. I had the halibut and my husband had the three Pharos. Both were delicious. The star of the night was probably the creme brûlée though! The service was great and the reservation process was super simple with open table. There was a great atmosphere. It was the perfect place for a celebration. We’ll definitely be back when in Jasper!

Michelle Swayze

Wow! Where do I start!!??? This place is just amazing! From the time u enter the door , you feel welcomed.... Place is very cozy.. The FOOD!!!!!!!! IS TO DIE FOR! Very flavorful. Christin the waitress was very lovely , very friendly(you know what! She was just AWESOME!) Will definitely be coming back???? I highly recommend... You won't regret it.....

Jessica Bonardi

My traveling companion and I stopped for lunch and decided to go back for dinner. The menu is globally inspired with leaning towards middle Eastern seasonings merged with fresh local ingredients. For lunch my companion enjoyed her French Onion soup and we shared a morrocan melted Brie which had interesting blends of middle Eastern spices with the melted Brie. I had an Elk Porter soup. My companion hot chocolate with housemade marshmallow fluff. It was excellent. We went back for dinner to try out their cheese fondue, picking the traditional style and ordered an extra pretzel with it. It was almost as good as the Fondue I had in Geneva, Switzerland. The service for both lunch and dinner was friendly, attentive, and prompt.

Leesa Michelle

The best food I've had eating out. Friendly service and fair prices.

Tarra Dubreuil

Wasn't very impressed with the quality of the food. I had a steak ordered medium rare, came blue rare in the centre and rare on the ends. The prawns were cold and for twice friend french fries they were pretty soggy. The girlfriend ordered the halibut, it was cooked nicely, but the coconut rice that came with it had a burnt taste so it wasn't very appetizing. It was very expensive for the quality of food.

Bob Moll

Good atmosphere but disappointing food. Maybe ordered the wrong things? But why would they have bad dishes on their menu in the first place? Ordered the lamb skewers. Meat was so blend and dry. It was hard to chew it. There was no seasoning on it. If you panfry chicken breast with no oil, no salt and over cook it so that it loses all it's meat juice, that's what this dish tasted like. Heard great things about this place so there must be other dishes that taste good.

Gershon Diner

Absolutely amazing food. Atmosphere is very cozy. Had the elk osso bucco and the elk was perfectly cooked and literally falling off the bone. The three Pharaoh's also looked amazing and had a very solid variety of meats.

Gail Littleton

Delicious food with a great atmosphere! Plenty of seating, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgable. I can recommend the ham and brie sandwich; tasted wonderful and was a good-sized portion for the price. Overall we had a great dining experience, and this will definitely be one of my must-stops in Jasper from now on!

ken yeung

Good atmosphere and a variety of dishes.

Mark Fercho

Really great place to get a quality meal and drink! The serving staff are super friendly and personable! Definitely recommend the old fashioned cocktail on the menu!

Emily Fehr

Food is delicious, and they have really nice vegan and gluten free options. The cocktails are great too.

Adam Plantinga

Our second time back at the bistro. They make a great Lamb Burger, spicy and on a brioche bun; a must-try. Or their Lamb-and-Potato Soup, served with sliced baguette and garlic butter (upon request). Washed down with a Mojito or draft beer. Their Orange Creme Brûlée is different and recommended. Service by Miranda was pleasant and our order was not too long. A good place to dine at, if in the area.

Vincent Chang

Incredible vegan options and awesome staff. Will definitely come back when in Jasper! ????

Hiral Amin

This is an amazing food place in Jasper town. Loved their shawarma! Not the authentic shawarma, but an amazing sandwich filled with tender and delicious sauces and vegetables! Loved the burger. Wish the fruit bowl had sweeter mangoes

Gregory Huizinga

A friend and I went on a day trip to Jasper and decided to give this restaurant a call to see if they were open so we can stop by for a bite. The lady that answered the call was super nice and respectful. We got there and the place was super clean and welcoming. I ordered the Seafood Pot... and it was DELICIOUS. The waitress, Rachel, was so helpful with menu options and even gave us hiking recommendations for our next trip! Great job Raven Bistro, totally will be going there whenever I'm in Jasper.

Robert Campbell

Happy hour is brilliant, appetizers and half price wine. Delicious

Very quiet and cozy little restaurant. We had a very lovely supper here, our food and drinks were absolutely delicious! Wait staff were very courteous and the service was very prompt. The only negative I found was the taste and smell of the water that was brought to our table, it had a chemical quality to it that I just couldn't drink. Overall I would definitely recommend!

Rostam Torki Sharifabadi

Can't say enough good things about this place. My wife and I really enjoyed the food. To go along with the great food is the service. Ashley the owner made us feel at home for lunch one day, and then for dinner the next night Janice was a rock star. They had great suggestions for what to do in town as they are really engaged in the community. We will be back.

We ate here for lunch and dinner on the same day. It’s probably one of the better restaurants in Jasper in my opinion. The prices are good, the service is good. Would recommend the salmon for both lunch and dinner menu and the buddha bowl if you want something a little more health. It has the right amount of crunch and savoury. The three pharaohs with the steak was also quite delicious. The breakfast skillet was good, loved the savoury waffle but it was more on the oily side.

Mike Kinsella

Fantastic food and great staff! Definitely a great place to go for a nice meal

Shaylea Tessier

We stubbles upon this spot when we were searching and came here for lunch. We loved our Buddha bowl and lamb burger! It was delicious and exactly what we wanted - a little different flavourful meal!

My husband and I were at The Raven for our 30th Anniversary supper last night. I ordered the elk and my husband ordered the schnitzel. The elk was $42 which in my opinion should have been an elk steak. It was a leg with a huge bone with dimensions of 2" at one end and 1" at the other. The chef said it was a 12-14 oz serving with the bone in but with such a large bone I had very little meat to eat. The risotto was very over powering with liquid smoke. I was not full when we left so I went to Beavertails to get full. My husband's schnitzel was bland and lacking in flavour. We were very disappointed with the food at this restaurant which ruined our Anniversary supper. The waitress from England was nice and gave good service and felt bad about our experience. We were given the elk at half price but I would not recommend this restaurant and will not go back.

Vivek Joshi

It was our first visit to Jasper since we were both quite young, and based on reviews I booked The Raven for happy hour soon after we arrived ... and I was not disappointed! The fondue was incredible and the half priced wine hit the spot. Our server, Rachel, was friendly, funny, and gave great recommendations. 10 out of 10 will be back the next time we are in town. Thank you for kicking off our visit!!!

Holly C

Nice seat at the bar. Wine service was impeccable, food was good, rusty nails sublime.

Absolutley fantastic food and service. No matter your food needs they have something for everyone. Real food that tatses great. So delicious. We will be back next trip.....Guaranteed!!!!

Gary Tam

Way overpriced for mediocre food. 3 pharaohs chicken was dry, lamb was ok and beef was good. Bison short ribs were dry (the bison restaurant in Banff is better for this). Service was great though.

Hannah M

The service is very good. The food is amazing. After a day hiking in the mountains, felt great to have a nice meal at this restaurant. Will visit again.

Jon Dominski

Excellent food with a kind of Moroccan touch. The staff is very friendly and professional! Would certainly recommend!

Pete Wheeler

amazing breakfast/lunch. Quick and great service. Family friendly and clean, 10/10 must visit spot in Jasper!

Single Pine Ranch

fantastic ! Everything was delisious.

Y Wong

We dined here almost a month ago now. Everything was very delicious, from the sweet bacon potato soup, to the delicious halibut. Everything was spot on. The bathrooms are pretty and clean. The restaurant is a bit small, so reservation for sure would be needed as we were happy we had one in advance and were seated right away upon arrival. Our server was very nice.

Alison McPhail

Lemon sesame schnitzel with blackberry mojito!! Honestly was so yummy

Matthew Leopold

Ordered the Elk Osso Bucco and it was amazing. Great taste, a fantastic mix of flavours that I hadn't personally experienced before. Was served by Cheryl and service was excellent. She was extremely pleasant and patient while I was struggling to decide what to order, and informative when I had questions. Food came quicker than one would expect, which was an awesome surprise. Good portion size for amount paid. Definitely looking forward to dining here every time I'm in Jasper.

Hau Lee

Great food, small and inviting atmosphere and nice cocktail list! delicious vegan options and a nice happy hour. I am a local in town and this is always a go to for a nice classy dinner

Aisha Omar

Ordered Halibut Chowder, Boar Belly Flat Bread and Lamb Rack. Absolutely amazing. My boyfriend and I didn’t make a reservation, so they booked us at the door for an hour later and we waited. We told them we are going to share the Lamb and they actually separated everything into two portions for us. It was soooooo good that we even forgot to take a photo before we eat! Absolutely worth the wait!

Yasmin Ahhh

Everything was incredible. One of the best meals I've eaten. Far exceeded my expectations for a tourist town.

ella brie

good food, really nice server. we also got to eat with out dog made the food taste extra good.We went in the morning :)

Aiken

A wonderful gem hidden in the beautiful town of jasper. Small, but with an exclusive feel. Incredibly classy. Great service, and very memorable ????

Jose Joaquin

The food at this place was amazing with tons of gluten free choices and way more than you could finish. Highly recommend

Erwin Pascual

Yummm! Even the vegan options are fab! I took it to go and it was still warm and delicious! Definitely a recommendation if you’re hitting up Jasper. I will likely be back! ????????

Bethany Bekolay

Overall, most of what we had was good. I found the calamari cut a bit thin. The risotto was very bad though. More like mashed rice than risotto, and the mushrooms tested like a gallon of liquid smoke. The rest of the dish was good though and so was everything else we had.

Elise

The food was amazing and the service was great! Would recommend to people who are visiting the area.

Sandra S

Lucky enough to be recommended this little gem! Amazing flavours!

Lisa Fletcher

This place is fantastic. Really good beef Curry. Amazing flavours. I wouldn't quite consider it authentic Indian because it wasn't spicy enough but it was very good. Highly recommended. Deserves its rating unlike other places in Jasper.

Casey McLean

The Raven Bistro is a gem! They have a gift making dietary aware meals taste fantastic! It is a must eat at in Jasper.

Jesse Peters

Great food..Excellent service.Although it was a very busy long weekendl it looked well handled by the staff.Highly recommended..

Catharine Trieber

The foods we ordered had tinge of coconut taste, which I love. Everything was very tasty! The atmosphere was great too.

Gary Meldrum Music

Service was ok. Friendly waitress but the lunch we ordered was very disappointing. Stay away from the seafood pot. It has a very strong taste to a spice that overpowers the seafood flavour. Also I felt it was ver pricy for the quality and portions. Place is nicely located and has a nice outdoor area though. Don’t think I can recommend this place based on the food we tried for the lunch menu. Maybe the dinner options are better.

Justin Belford

Lovely staff and talented cooks. Right in the middle of town and arguably the best restaurant in all of Jasper. I recommend getting the halloumi and sharing since it's so flavourful and the portion size is decent.

Vijay Shivdasani

Ambiance - WARM, COZY, ME AND MY BF FELL BACK IN LOVE HERE Drinks - amazing! all very fun Food - we got the both the veggie options on the menu, best meal I think I’ve ever had IN MY LIFE. Do yourself a favour and get the créme brûlée after your meal Server was also super kind and helpful, despite the clearly busy restaurant she was great! Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience The raven bistro - will have me RAV-IN’ for quite some time

Mike McGregor

An excellent restaurant. Mixes local meats (elk, sea food etc) with middle Eastern or Moroccan spices. A really enjoyable meal. Prompt and friendly service. We booked a table. Very glad we did as people were turned away at the door. Slightly more pricey than other restaurants in town, but the best meal we've had in Jasper so far.

Ryan Trofanenko

Food: 5 out of 5. Its good. Menu is from around the world. Seafood Pot was excellent. A good sized portion. Thai style Tom yum stew base, so a little spicy. Seafood inside was fresh and generous. Elk kebabs were decent. Served almost rare, I guess to make it softer to chew. Served with delicious flat bread and rice sides and some grilled veg. Pricing: 2 out of 5. Seafood pot was $32, elk kebab was $34. A full steak was like $44. These prices might be even higher than the Fairmont Hotel, and not acceptable for a bistro type environment. Environment : 1 out of 5. If you are unlucky to get the table with the air con vent right at your feet. So you freeze to death slowly, upwards. Unacceptable that they even have a table there. No warning, and when we asked to move, no apologies either from the staff. After we vacated the table, the next two couples who were assigned it did the same thing. I can't believe the management think it is acceptable to freeze diners feet during a meal. So while the food is good, the pricing and our experience with the horrendous table was not. So 3 stars in total.

Tej D

Great restaurant in Jasper with unique vegan and meat options. The starters and mains were amazing with generous portions. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.

Chanice Wood

Great falafel sandwich. Mango orange salad was amazing. The server was fantastic - even brewed me a homemade iced green tea. Definitely recommend.

Xena Wang

Awesome time sitting at the bar with a delicious dinner - of course I had to get the seafood pot based on other reviews. Matt behind the bar changed my mind about Riesling - that in itself is an accomplishment! Wonderful time, great vibe, delicious food. You won’t be disappointed!

Varun Batta

I was on my last day of a long trip, so my budget was a little tight. I was standing outside reading the menu posted on the wall, deciding whether or not to eat there. Everything on the menu looked so good and I couldn't decide. The waiter and I exchanged a bit of small talk, and he told me that all of the food was really good, and I could tell that he meant it. The interior was clean and cozy, and I was seated quickly, and given a glass of water with a cranberry in it. So cuter! I ordered the lunch special, The Raven salad, which might have been the best thing I ate on my entire 3 week long trip across Canada in the Pacific Northwest. It was reasonably priced, generously portioned, and served quickly. I hope I get to make it back up to Jasper one day, and if I do, I am definitely going to have a few meals at the Raven!

Rob Moore

Best restaurant I've tried yet while living in Jasper. Food is amazing and comes fast. Servers are very friendly! Dinner is pretty pricey, but it's also very fancy so it's expected. Wouldn't eat it all the time due to the cost, but it's a good treat once in awhile. Lunch is reasonably priced. Best dish I've had in Jasper is the Chicken & Waffles they have here. Their soup is super good too!

Malav Shah

Very nice experience and beautiful little restaurant. The service was phenomenal and food was delicious!

Becky Bulmer

I've never been to this place before though the people I went with have, they said it was fantastic and their words did not lie!! The food itself was immaculate! I had a steak sandwich with cream of asparagus soup, steak was cooked to perfection, and the Dijon mustard on top with the boar (? I believe) bacon was so good! The soup was nice and creamy as well, not over salted and just the perfect amount. And for desert the mandarin Crème Brûlée was exceptional. I even had a blackberry orange mojito which was also impeccable! I couldn't be happier with the food and drink; our server was such a gem as well! He truly has a passion for what he does and its translated in the interaction we had with him! I highly recommend this place if you're in and around Jasper. Great food, drink and wonderful service!

Arista Haas

Awesome little spot in Jasper. Great menu and thoughtful wine list. My only issue was the very slow greeting at the door. We stood there for about 10 minutes to not even be acknowledged. Disappointing but the remainder of the meal and service made up for it!

Ben Krieger

This is the farthest North I have been and this eating experience was second to none. We ordered the Lamb burger and waffle thing and oh my where they awesome. The ambiance of the Raven is great. The playlist was created by one of the workers and we actually got her handle. There is so much more to try on the menu I wish we had more time. I have ALS and I was able to walk in well. Loved this place.

Daughter's birthday. Raven is her favourite place. Trip in from Edmonton at -28C. Completely worth it. Wonderful place great food. Great staff.

James Bilbey

Quality food and very delicious.

jasmine kler

Best food in Jasper for quality, service, and value! We got the Bison & Elk Flatbread, as well as the Beef Tenderloin steak. So incredibly delicious!!

Matt

Not my type of food as game meat is too tough for me. Regardless this is a very nice place with options even if you don't like game meat.

shannon yin

Delicious food, good drinks and service as well as a really nice restaurant! Thank you for another delicious meal:)

pascal potvin

This place closes at 10 and we came up to the door at 9:15. People were just sitting down, but wouldn’t let us in. We were dressed nicely. I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for 8 years and have never seen this. You seat people until you close. That’s the rule. It wasn’t even after Canadian Thanksgiving yet. They told us to go to a chain restaurant, and gave me attitude when I said I am a food blogger and don’t like to eat at chains. When I return to Jasper, I won’t likely be returning. Why waste my money and time on a place that gives poor customer service? My money, time, blog writing and taste buds can be better suited and spent elsewhere.

Maxim Arakcheev

Excellent service, lovely atmosphere and delicious food! We would definitely recommend this restaurant. The Brie was to die for! :)

Britt Ashmore

One of the best restaurants in Jasper town, serving fusion Mediterranean food using local ingredients. The baked double Brie is absolutely delicious and a must order if you come. Cocktails are reasonably priced and good too, as are the local beers. Reservations recommended as it can get busy during dinner!

David Cimon

Great staff. people lined up to get it. Did a good job keeping the atmosphere while protecting staff and guests. Thoroughly enjoyed the MOROCCAN BAKED BRIE. My wife loved the KALAMATA SALMON. I had the LEMON SESAME SCHNITZEL, the meat was great but didn't enjoy the side dish, potato salad. I wasn't expecting mini potatoes cut in half's. I found it tasteless. We would go back but would avoid the chorizo potato salad.

Joe Cortese (Joe)

Exotic eats. Very tasty and feels like an award for your stomach.

Luc Bedard

Tried their Steak, Halibut and Bison and loved all 3, in that order!

Hannah Williams

Nice spot with great service. Most of our dishes were great, the calamari was really nice, and hot cocktails were very unique. However the elk ossobuco really missed the mark though. It was totally dried out and had a tomato chutney on top instead of being cooked in the sauce. Also the mushroom risotto tasted very strange and had whole button mushrooms thrown in like an after addition, could have been better integrated. For the price, our expectations were set fairly high and some things were great, but others need work.

Krissy F

Lovely place, friendly staff, amazing food. I will be back next time I'm in Jasper.

Came here Wed Aug 12th for my birthday after looking at menu on line. Was welcomed by Janice who was a breath of fresh air compared to some we had tried. She was very friendly, knew the menu when we had questions and even managed to save me the last vegan dessert cause it was my birthday. Definitely coming back with family. The food was amazing and worth every cent

Garry Schaffel

One of our favourite places to eat in Jasper. Reservations are recommended as the place gets busy during happy hour. Kristen is a great host and the brussel sprouts are the best in town!

William Fillier

Yummy! Amazing meal and service! Our server, Webbie aka Kristen, was friendly, funny and attentive. I had a LOT of mussels and a Raven salad - delicious! My hubby had steak and prawns - he didn’t leave a thing on his plate. #supportlocal

Jim A

The Moroccan baked Brie is to die for!! Amazing food with excellent service. Must try!

L Kam

Locally owned bistro in North Scottsdale. It has a nice vibe, outside patios, nice menu and great service. We did the happy hour and the food was good, cocktails did the job and service was on par. It is a nice addition to the restaurants off Pima/Pinnacle Peak. We will be back

Sapere Vedere

Awesome place. Super chic and presents a great all-around modern feel. Great service, great food. We had the lamb burger and yam fries with their signature dip, as well as the steak sandwich and housecut fries. Lamb is hard to get right but this was fantastic. Also, had a great mojito.

Ekaterina Slivko

Several delicious vegan options on the menu, all clearly labelled. The "La Pastille" is tasty and filling. Great place for vegans and omnivores alike.

Showed up with large group and they were very accommodating. Food was delicious. It came surprisingly fast and was plated beautifully. Couldn’t stop ‘raven’ about it all over town.

Emily Samuel

Alright, should be better for the calibre of dining they profess. Food was bland and disappointing.... Great service and excellent wine!.

Almighty Abb

Very impressed! I personally had the Buddha bowl with prawns; amazing! Such a nice environment, friendly and professional staff, and good food.

Anthony Hopkins

It was very delicious but a bit pricey…

Ariane Lessard-dostie

We dined on September 25; party of 4. The other 3 guests had awesome dishes. I came away very disappointed. Initially I was going to order the Seafood Pot but then saw the Elk Osco Bucco with mushroom risotto and was lured in and ordered that dish.. I was expecting a very creamy risotto with lots of mushroom flavor and what I had was sub par risotto lacking flavor. The elk seemed to be cooked too much and the texture was dry. I will give the bistro another try when I am back in Jasper.

Brittany Poon-King

We went there for lunch. The restaurant had a quiet and welcoming vibe. Server was very polite and knowledgeable when we asked about the history of the restaurant. The owners had traveled through Mediterranean countries and bring those flavors back with them.Food was amazing and we tasted new flavors. It would be on our list for next trip to Jasper for sure.

Mike Salter

I often come here for lunch with my roommate and it's always a spectacular time. I wish I knew the server's name who we get each time, he's always awesome and hilarious! I work at one of the hotels around town and ALWAYS tell guests to come by here. The portions are fantastic, the food is great, and the service always blows me out of the water. Lots of love to the Raven team <3

Farha Bhatti

The decor is definitely higher class and the food was decent. One person in my party ordered elk and it was chewy and mediocre. The other dishes were alright but not memorable. Seems more like a date place than a place to take a group but it was worth trying.

Brent Fisher

Great service and a creative menu. The flavours were exceptional. My favourite dish was the almond crusted halibut. The cocktails are excellent as well. Highly recommended, plus they have options for all dietary needs.

Kelly Hall

Great food! Canary Island Buddha Bowl was very good!!

Lane Gerwatoski

The Raven Bistro had absolutely AMAZING food with a wide variety of selections for vegetarians, vegans, and meat eaters alike! Portions are large and very reasonably priced. We started with the fried Halloumi appetizer (which was in and of itself quite a bit of food). I had the La Pastilla as a main, while my husband had the Old Fashioned Bison Short Ribs. They were both incredible. Our service was beyond wonderful as well! Couldn't recommend The Raven Bistro enough!

Josh Brenner

The Raven Bistro made delicious appetizers. We had the boar belly flatbread and the feta stuffed Falafel. The mains, however, were slightly disappointing. We had the salmon & prawn pea risotto and it was all over cooked. The risotto was gummy. The short rib was better but the halibut had the same over done-ness as the salmon and prawns. Overall the meal was good but I might opt for different mains if I go back.

z

We came just after the restaurants were able to open up at 50%. Recommended by a local we know very well. So pleased that we came with our family to support a local business. We love to support local. The brie was a great starter. Then had steak (amazing & perfectly cooked), seafood bowl, triple meat with lamb, chicken & beef, each with their own topping. All great and the waitress was so good and made us feel so welcome. We will be back!

Nicole Luesink

Seated right away without a reservation which was nice. We ordered lamb, steak and the Pharoah, unfortunately all three meat dishes in the Pharoah were over cooked by a lot (lamb, chicken and beef), as well the sauce pairings with the meat was not well thought out. Overall the price for this place is slightly over what it should be that's why I give it 3 stars.

Isabel Pereira

Great food, great service! The menu is both adventurous and delicious! 100%

diba yamout

The Raven Bistro was amazing! I took my mom and sister here for my mom's birthday and really enjoyed it. My favorite meal I've ever had in Jasper and one of the best vegan dishes I have had. The bistro is very nice and comfortable and the servers were very knowledgeable about the menu and very personable.

Bruce North

Would give them 0 stars if I could. We had called ahead and made a reservation for 9 at 9PM and had arrived at 8:40- 20 minutes earlier. The hostess had advised us that we would be seated between 9 and 9:05 since the table before us hadn't left. Then at 9:10, we went back and inquired, and they said that the table before still hadn't left. At 9:20, we were fed up and we left. Driving from far distances, being completely exhausted and looking for a place to eat, the Raven Bistro did NOT meet the expectation of my family or I. In Jasper, most food places close betwween 9 and 10, 9:30 being last call. We were almost left without food for the night. Please be advised- if you make a reservation here well in advance, its very likely that you still may not be able to eat here. Edit: After seeing the response below from Raven Bistro, I can say for sure that I will not be coming back. If a reservation is made, then it should be ready at that time, as is standard in many restaurants around Canada. Sadly, it appears that the Raven Bistro is not quite there yet. In addition, being 20 minutes early is fine, especially since we understood that we were early and were willing to wait. But the Raven Bistro being 20 minutes late is not an acceptable practice. Nonetheless, my family and I will never visit the Raven Bistro again.

Ayat Turar

Just amazing... the service was good, the food so tasty, so generous and so innovative. Too bad that it is not closer to home

Kristina Gerard

Vegan review: Stopped here for dinner (lunch) after reading the reviews! I had a very yummy Raven salad with tomato and coconut soup. The soup needed salt and pepper adding to it. I also got a pecan tart too (there was also a flavoured donut on offer). I sat near the window for more natural light as it was quite dark further in. The ambience was lovely due to the chilled, relaxing music they were playing. The service was great!

Anis Laham

I cannot recommend the Raven Bistro enough! We were in Jasper for a short two night stay, and went for a late lunch on our first day there. The falafel bowl was outstanding, and a large enough portion to satisfy my hungry stomach! My boyfriend had the chicken wafflewich, which he said was amazing. He had the yam fries with it, and the curry dip that came with it was SO GOOD! We went back for takeout on our way back home, and had the late riser skillet and Mediterranean fries- both phenomenal and very good sized portions! Two meals here in less than 48 hours definitely says it all!

Rémi C

Eat here often living in Jasper, it is one of the best run and amazing restaurants in Jasper. When Ashley is cooking each meal is not just amazing for taste, they are also works of art! I wish I posted my tuna salad this summer, have never seen anything like it. This picture is the halibut last night, also as good as it looks ❤️

Jinupp Chingavanam

Excellent spot for vegans in Jasper...and pretty much the only! Wish I'd gotten the name of the wonderful person who served us but thank you so much for the exceptional service and for the exceptional effort to accommodate and serve vegans! Excellent food and excellent service. Highly recommended.

Lauren McBride

Excellent meal here last week. The starters were really tasty and my bison steak was very good. Also had a lovely red wine. Waitress was really friendly and attentive. Probably the best meal of our holiday.

Great brunch shokshooka item, wishes the eggs were more runny BUT it was delicious! Loved the service so much returned in the evening for some cocktails; the vibe welcoming and fun. Great bartender and delicious twists on some favourites. Found a great new venue to enjoy drinks at in Jasper!

Kelli Barlow

Fantastic food and great service. Had a hard time choosing what to eat as it all sounded good. And looked good when tables around us got their food.

Raina Park

Excellent food. Great service. BEST glory bowl dressing EVER. They should bottle it and sell it... they'd make a killing!

Benny Ying

Fantastic experience here. The fondue was the best in the area.

Rosie Schw

The worse steak sandwich you can find , in chewable , uncutable, please ask chef to chew on it before serving

Jeannine Basken

Quality atmosphere, comfortable cause they only got booths (( total win )). Brayden was a really chill server, and the kitchen was quick and welcoming. The bathrooms are cool af, and the style is an upper middle class look. Food was solid, for the price I can't complain at all. Rosemary on the fries so that's cool. All in all I'd go again, the menu has some items worth trying

Thomas Van Onsem

Omg. Amazing food! Loved sitting on the patio. Will definitely come back! Brittany was amazing!

Ben Diamond

Incredible food, the few times I went there over a season there was fresh changes on the menu. The food was so creative, comfort food with Moroccan and eastern influences. Loved it. Lunch was surprisingly affordable especially in jasper and really really tasty. I recommended the mossaman curry and the chicken waffle sandwich for lunch Dinner is beautiful, and fancy without being uncomfortable. The staff is wonderful. The soze of the restaurant is perfect, just small enough to feel cozy but big enough that you don’t feel in the way.

Ali FA

A MUST GO TO when in Jasper. The food was exceptional, we had the bison ribs and the vegan entre that was a pastry( can't remember the name)- both were absolutely exceptional. Our waitress, I believe her name was Murielle (a winnipeg girl!) Was friendly and warm and handled a rude and unruly customer with absolute professionalism and politeness! We will be back next time.were in Jasper!

Christine Hennes

Very tasty and reasonably priced. We had calamari and the schnitzel with a side of fries. Everything was well done and even better gluten free. I don’t think I have encountered gf schnitzel or calamari in other restaurants.

Bethany Munnikhuis

Good food is hard to find in a resort town and The Raven Bistro did not disappoint! My wife and I had a delicious dinner here on an unseasonably snowy night this September. The Raven salad, stuff falafel, and seafood pot were all fantastic. Good ambience and the waitstaff was excellent-Definitely listen to their recommendations! We would most definitely return.

Cherish Simon

For our last night in Jasper we decided to try this place as they had just reopened again with their new patio! Kudos to the owners for investing in the infrastructure, I’m sure it’s very difficult to do these things under the uncertainty of COVID. The heated patio was lovely with each cube sectioned off making you feel like you had a little piece of space to yourself. Our server was really lovely and attentive, the food was some of the best we had in Jasper all week, and we overall just had a really great time. I recommend all their beers on tap and the Mediterranean mule! To eat we had the schnitzel, steak sandwich, and the calamari, all delicious.

K W

The reason for the average rating is that one of our main courses, the elk osso bucco (highest ticket item on the menu), did not turn out at all. Dry, tough, no sauce. However the feedback was efficiently received by our server, and an acknowledgement was reflected on the bill. The service alone would have received 5 stars. The food however, a fusion of mediterranean spices like tahini and harissa and game should maybe be thought over again. Also game meats (farmed or wild) are much leaner than conventional meats like beef, pork or chicken. They need a good sear and a low and slow kind of approach. We also expected a dish like a osso bucco to come with a rich sauce. The other main, mixed plate of chicken-lamb-beef was good, the smokey mushroom risotto that came with the osso bucco was delicious.

graciella intu

Easily one of the top places in Jasper. Large portions, great menu with unique items, at least 25% can be made vegan if required. Nice wine, craft beer and cocktail lists! Had dinner last night and went back for lunch today to try a few more items.

Georgina Neave

Tried this my last full day in Jasper, and wish I had found it sooner! Busy when I arrived so got a seat at the bar. Not always my favorite, but Mike did a great job making sure everyone was well attended to, and really serving each of the parties at the bar. Likely the best place in the restaurant since able to talk with others and get to see all the items on the menu - yum! Only downside? Not open later! If questioning - just go!! Really nice mix of Canadian foods with a Mediterranean fusion giving it a unique twist.

Karsten Lee

Ordered takeout. The hostess was so friendly took time to answer our questions. The La Pastilla was so hearty and filling and warming. The flavours were very unique, such an imaginative vegan dish. Husband had the risotto and salmon and said it was very good. The vegan chocolate pecan tart was perfection.

Kaitlyn Rice

We got the three pharaohs and the salade niçoise. Highly recommend both dishes! All the meat was very tender and the salad was flavourful with a nice variety of veggies. Patio was nice and private and our server was very nice.

Vlad Kovryga

It’s an overpriced and overrated restaurant. The portions and prices weren’t consistent across the menu. The food lacked flavor and authenticity. The falafels were doughy and undercooked in the inside (No I’m not talking about the stuffed cheese. It just tasted raw). Someone sitting next to us complained that the lamb was raw and sent it back. The Lipton Peppermint teas didn’t just fit in with the menu or the prices they charge (It’s not Tim Hortons). The Moroccan Chickpea and Kale Strudel and Tomato Chili Chutney didn’t have any flavor and was quite bland. Overall it was very disappointing.

Zak Shayler

We went there for dinner. The Ukrainian borsch soup would not make five stars. The chef needs to work on it. But the rest of the meal was delicious and it made up for the soup. The steak was well done to perfection, asparagus the best I ever tried. The entree with three meats was very tasty and just right portion. The Argentinian Malbec was a perfect pairing with food. Great and friendly service. Would definitely go back.

Sam Aylward

Intimate setting, was here for 2 for 1 lunch & very popular! Food was tasty, well presented and served hot. Friendly staff & always good to come back

Daniel Arakcheev

Amazing food and really nice service, one of the best meals I have had in a restaurant.

Food was excellent but the service was incredible! We made reservations for a Friday night but it certainly was packed and people didn't quite want to leave yet. The servers were so considerate and made it worth our while. Webby especially (I hope I got that right) was so smart, funny and honest with us. Even when we stayed past closing hours she was still so warm and hospitable. 10/10!

Overall great experience. Here are the details... Morrocan Baked Brie Unbalanced, to many sweet components on the dish, we enjoyed it but the chutney in combination with the grapes and the candied walnuts was just too much and overpowered any savoury or creamy elements of the cheese. This needed something like olives or capers to balance it. Not grapes. Tofu Chorizo Tostadas Criminally underseasoned. Lacked flavour. Had no elements of spice and should have been served with a hot sauce of some kind on the side. All of the ingredients seemed fresh and well prepared but it's a waste when they have no flavour. La Pastille We enjoyed this dish. It was different and unique. It didn't wow us but it was pretty enjoyable, had some interesting flavours and was a good portion size. Honey Orange Creme Bruleè We enjoyed this dish but my wife thought that the orange flavour was a little artificial like a syrup. Our cocktails were great minus the old Fashioned. Far too heavy on the bitters. An overall great experience especially for vegetarian options. Good ambience and great service. Would definitely comeback and suggest you give it a try.

It was an amazing culinary experience. Every dish was rich in delicious flavours. One of the best restaurants in Jasper.

Manjit Singh

Great local gem. Excellent food, small and cosy with a great atmosphere. We sat at the bar and the bartender was great. The chef knows how to cook fish both the salmon and halibut were perfectly cooked.

Gabrielle Valcourt

The meal and the service was phenomenal. These folks care about food and the experience. I’ll be hitting this place up again for sure! They also do great gluten-free dishes.

Brenda Kruppi

Incredible little place in Jasper. My go to every time I drive through or stay in Jasper! It’s a little secret Gem. Nice drink selection, incredible food, awesome Happy Hour! One of my absolute favorite places out there! ????

Joshua D'Souza

amazing meal with very unique and delicious flavours! Food are all light and appetizing. Highly recommend the chicken wings and the melon trio shebert.

Vicki Slattery

The best food I’ve ever had! When we first tried The Raven about a year ago, we fell in love and came back the following two days to try more off their menu. Every time we go to Jasper that’s all we eat. Everything off their menu is delicious and I can’t rave about the sauces they make enough! 12/10.

Brianna Jones

Nice little bistro. We had the fondue and enjoyed it!

Christine Li

My GF and I split the lamb burger and french onion mac & cheese. I did not mis-type... FRENCH ONION MAC! It was so good. Also, the best lamb burger I've ever had. When we come back to Jasper this place will be on our list.

Cerise Rouge

Delicious cocktail, the Bocephus, and a great bartender. Despite not making an early reservation, they accommodated us at the bar. We ordered the cheddar beer fondue and it did not disappoint. From the items listed for that dish, it did not seem like it would be enough but it definitely was and it was so good! The mushrooms tasted smoked and the ham was deep-fried. Yep, you read that right. Order it.

valerie sutton

The best food I've had in a very long time! The drinks were amazing as well. Servers were friendly and the atmosphere was amazing as well

Service was extremely slow and the food tasted horrible. Do not recommend as there are much better places in Jasper.

Brett Lauder

The service we received from Cheryl was amazing. The food was so good and they had excellent vegan options. My partner had the seafood pot and loved it while I had a vegan pasta dish that was very filling; both were delicious. We had a starter of vegan falafel balls that were light and full of flavour. The dessert we got had an option for vegan coconut cream that just blew our socks off. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back.

A Wiresmith

Total let down. Two years ago we had an excellent meal. This time the food preparation was mediocre (osso bucolic) at best and overpriced.

Erin Prodaniuk

The best spot to get unique, wholesome vegan food in Jasper. Do NOT skip dessert!

Jessica Jonasson

We went there for dinner and we were happy with the service and the food. Our server was really good, knew the menu well. She explained all the dishes and answered any questions we had. Made good recommendations for the wine as well. We ordered rack of lamb, elk and salmon. Rack of lamb was cooked at medium rare and was delicious. Elk and salmon were also good. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Jasper and would visit again.

Dinner here was the highlight of our day. We ordered the steak and shrimp with argentine sauce. It's a bit on the pricey side but atleast the food is worth it. One of the best steaks we ever had. My wife ordered the seafood pot, which she loved as well. And we loved the service as well. Sheryl was very warm and took good care of us. Definitely coming here again.

M J

Absolutely delicious food...I even persuade the chef to let me have a container of his rhubarb & date relish...OMG! It is so good. I told him to sell it. Will certainly be returning to eat there again

Christine Cripps-Woods

The starters were excellent but lukewarm, main course was ok but also lukewarm. Too expensive for the food and waiting time. Reservation is highly recommended

WB Yuen

The best cocktail in town! Food is amazing, with nice healthy choice but still very tasty! Nice menu, creative, perfect ambiance for a date night!

Rohan Gaikwad

I wouldn’t say delicious. It’s just ok.

Jill Bowden

This was a such a delicious place to stop on our way through Jasper. Friendly service and such unique dishes. I had the forager stew and I'm craving it again! This will be a required stop every time I'm in town. Thanks so much for the great lunch.

Angelo Blais

If I could leave a higher review I could. I am very picky about my beef as I only butcher my own. This was the best tenderloin I have ever had in a restaurant. My wife's meal a seafood pot was also amazing and the service was on par with the extraordinary meal. Happily recommend and will return.

Matt Wood

You have to eat at Raven Bistro, it is simply sublime. I eat here ever time I am in, or I am driving through Jasper.

Gordon Burke

We ate here for dinner last night. I ordered the falafel starter and some kind of vegetarian pastry thing, they were both amazing. My wife ordered a seafood dish that we both thought was a little bland. Service was excellent. Bathrooms were clean. All the servers are trained wine testers and they have an extensive wine list so if you are a wine lover this place is for you!

Joey Najim

Ordered multiple dishes for a large family and everyone was so impressed. Delicious, fresh and so flavourful. Compliments to the chef; we can't wait to order again, soon!

Karin Zizek

Weekend getaway and visited The Raven for a romantic dinner. Food was incredible. The Lamb and Hallibut were fabulous. Marielle was so lovely and provided great service! .

Was able to squeak in a last minute table for 2 (call ahead) and am so happy we were able to get a spot. They had an awesome menu - lots of vegan/gf options and good local beer list. We ordered the steak & halibut. Lovely service and you can tell all the staff care about the success and experience of the restaurant.
