Kayla Stone

Nice cozy atmosphere, good food with lots of selection of seafood and wild game meats. Overall service was good but not a lot of communication from the server.

Natasha Colucci

Delicious food, friendly and quick service with an awesome outdoor view. Stopped in here for dinner and had a great time. Ordered the halibut and it was perfectly cooked with an awesome sauce. My husband had the meatloaf and loved it.

Katie Passmore

Our favourite restaurant to stop at going through Jasper. We had to wait 30min to get a table so i suggest making a reservation but its amazing. And all the ladies who work there are giving 100%. They are so fast and friendly.

Great food and great service. One of the best services I’ve experienced in Canada so far! The ingredients were all fresh and well-cooked. We ordered the New-York steak, roasted lamb and meat loaf as main dishes, the meat were juicy and tender, even better than we had expected. Definitely a refreshing first-try! Will recommend it to other friends.

Cole Despins

If you love seafood i definitely recommend trying the clams! Wild mushrooms! And the wild game they get!! Definitely a great restaurant and i will gladly go there again!

Beautiful view, nice ambiance and great service. Some of the most delicious and flavourful food I've had in Jasper. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! I wish we could eat here everyday !!

Garrett Chomlak

Very warm atmosphere and the staff were great! Excellent view! The menu has a whole array of different options for your pallet. We chose a wild game and seafood option (Filo Yukon Arctic Char and Wild Game Bolognese). Both were delicious - more than enough to make your taste buds dance! Highly recommend this spot if you are staying in Jasper.

This is one of my top 2 restaurants to dine at in Jasper. Bar none the BEST service I've ever experienced anywhere ever. The servers are friendly, always ensure your glasses are filled, dishes served or cleared and have knack for being there when you need them, yet unobtrusive to your dining or conversation. The dishes they offer burst with perfect flavour combinations so that every bite we were oooh-ing and ahhh-ing and telling each other - you've got to try a bite of mine!! I've been here several times including a last minute seating on a busy New Year's Eve and even then, there was zero blip in the service or the food. Fine dining at it's best. If you go nowhere else while in Jasper, you must dine at Fiddle River - you will not be disappointed.

Kim Wilson

Definitely worth a visit when you’re in Jasper!! Fantastic service and the food and drinks were delicious! I had the mango basil martini. Mmmm. The French onion soup was amazing and the rack of lamb was probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had at a restaurant!!

Myrna Ranford

Fabulous!! Seafood chowder was delicate and tasty. The Elk stroganoff pictured was perfectly done! Be warned.. portions are generous. Highly recommended!

Nicole Sharman

Wonderful menu, great value. Kid friendly. We experienced a quiet 3 course meal and every bite was amazing. They have other options if seafood isn't your thing.

Bob Oxenburgh

We booked a table for 8.00 pm. They were very very busy. Terrifically friendly and efficient service. They brought us pints instead of 12oz of the brown ale and the pale ale in error and were happy to comp us the 6oz difference. Lobster entrée, elk stroganoff, fried cod were very good. We tipped 20 %.

Jay McLachlan

The lobster portions in the main course are a bit skimpy for the price but the pasta dishes are a positively divine.

Matt Rafferty

Great service, very pleasant staff. I know I am up in the mountains, so I shouldnt expect much from a fish restaurant, but I was hoping for a little more than foodservice fare, especially given the local buzz and how busy they were. Still the food was good, family friendly environment, I was just expecting more.

kim john

Very great service. Food was quick . Waitress was nice. 5 star for this experience

Nick Challis

We had an elk burger here and it was exceptionally tasty. I'm not a salad guy but even the salad was yummy. Lovely waitress too.

Carolyn Bilben

Visited this place while on holidays. Nice atmosphere upstairs. The food was a fair price for portion, quality, and taste. Service was attentive and friendly. Open flame candle on the table was a nice romantic touch and highly appreciated as this isn't something I see often anymore in restaurants.

Leah

Great ambiance, relaxing environment. Seafood chowder and green salad were excellent. Great flavors. Elk stroganoff is amazing very rich taste. All in all excellent restaurant.

Brock T

We thoroughly enjoyed this meal. The service was excellent, the view was outstanding, and the food was great. The generously portioned crab was fresh and melted in your mouth. The game meatloaf was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Soup de jour and smoked salmon appetizer both were on point. The crumble dessert was served piping hot from the oven and was so delicious. Highly recommended.

prabha ashok

It’s a great experience. If you love seafood then this is the place for you. Amazing food and amazing staffs service. Chef Sushant he makes magic out of food. Super delicious and a must try in Jasper. Would highly recommend.

Ashley Liu

This restaurant was recommended to us by the concierge at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge where we were staying. Food and service were both great!

Erwin Rodriguez

Friendly service but food was not good. Had the meatloaf which was a salt bomb, wife had the phyllo wrapped char that was bland, rice was undercooked.

Y-Minh Tieu

Great service, nice view and the food was delicious

Norbert Wangsa-Wirawan

Nice and popular restaurant in Jasper - good food & drink options and nice ambient. Located on Main city stretch and plenty of free parking on Street and parking lot across the street.

Mayank Tandon

Service was good but food was really disappointing. I ordered shrimps and lobster and it was overcooked. My wife ordered elk straughnoff and it said braised meat which usually means it's soft and tender and would fall of the bone, this was chewy and hard and really bland with no flavor. Friend ordered an Arctic char which was also bland and was wrapped in French pastry which did not make any sense. Overall food was very mediocre and disappointing. 2 stars mostly because service was good.

Juan Carlos Reyes

great meal, just what i needed after a chilly round of golf. one of the best clam chowders in north america!! definitely will eat here again, the owners are from Quebec and the quality does rival one to the east coast restaurant!

Kalei Doyle

I had the Fiddle Fish Pot and it was awesome!! The server was very kind, and I liked that they brought the board showing the specials over to our table so we could see them instead of trying to remember. It is a little expensive but for the quality of the food and the service, it’s definitely somewhere you have to try!

B “Zzz”

The chowder is up there with the best in New England! A brilliant meal, all on its Own. Glad for the doggy bag. Hope for another visit! ????????‍♂️????

Ruth Marie

Great food and service! We always make a point of dining there when we're in Jasper.

Laura C

The chowder was delicious! One of the best I’ve ever ate. We had chowder, our entrees, and also took dessert to go. My only issue was with the fish cakes, they were a bit bland, if they didn’t come with the sauce for dipping, they’d be under seasoned. But everything otherwise was very good. Service was good and attentive. Appreciate the bread and butter that came with our meals.

AbdoulKarim Diakite

Very excellent seafood, cooked to the perfection.

Dena May

Food was very quick although expensive for what you got. Fantastic atmosphere, view and service. Lunch sized portions. Not all types of fish listed in fish pot were actually in the dish. Upstairs location with a nice patio. Daily specials. Pictured is fish pot, and schnitzel with sides on seperate plate.

Quinn

The menu was a bit off-putting, but the staff was friendly and the food was good! Some of the food was also a bit more expensive than I would have expected (some things were $50 per dish). Make sure you check out the menu before coming.

scott hutchinson

Good food, excellent service. The portions were excellent, we left feeling stuffed! We also ordered an appetizer not pictured below

Sean Watt

This is a true restaurant. Bread and water are provided without asking. The server we had must have been trained in Europe. Very professional, attentive and skilled . The Austrian style schnitzel was prepared to perfection. Possibly the best I have had in Alberta. Austrian style schnitzel is in particular , the best as compared to German style or "American" style. I suspect the chef or owner is Austrian. I rarely give out a five rating, but the service, the meal and the restaurant are leagues above many other restaurants in Jasper. Given the pandemic, labour shortages, anxiety, stress and burnout plaguing all of us, I can't help but give the highest rating for the efforts displayed. Thank you for an exceptional meal. We will be back.

Jennifer Granito

Bison steak was perfectly cooked at medium rare and a unique and exceptional meal. The shrimp and pork belly appetizer was also delicious. Great views outside their windows. Patio was closed due to weather but still popped my head out for some pics when it cleared up.

ROHIT SHARMA

Sometimes you read great reviews and decided to go to a place, only to realize what the heck! Same happened to us. We are quite generous with rating the restaurants with all the hardships that they went through recently. But experience at this was at a different level. Food was average and on top of that service was bad. I mean bad to the point, you just want to leave the table as soon as possible. Avoid planning special occasions unless you know a server/attendant personally.

Zhuoqing Li

Nice place for dinner. I tried the New York Steak. 8oz is really enough for adults. The coconut shrimp is a great appetizer. If you want to try the dessert, the Greedy Grand is the best (Don't share, haha). Just thought the pork belly was too small even it tasted great.

Michella Dall

Great experience! Had their special of the night which consisted of salmon with herbs and parmesan and prawns ???? The fish was cooked perfectly and had amazing flavor! My partner had their ‘fiddle fish pot’ which he thought was great as well. Also, our waiter was really sweet and accommodating ????Would definitely come back if I lived in Jasper.

Kaijuu

Location was great: easy to find and there's patio seating. Service was good for how busy it was: we went during dinner time. Prices were insane for what the food was: we expected to pay a premium (understandably) but with what we got, it feels excessive. Food was good but not for the price. Even the bread served wasn't even warmed or heated, and the butter was just those standard little plastic packets you get at a hotel continental breakfast. COVID: this place was packed and I don't think they paid any mind to the capacity and air-flow in the venue.

Shoaib Alam

Awesome customer service, nice ambiance and very tasty food, quantity and quality were well above my expectations. Please visit this place during your stay in Jesper. Two thumbs up to all staff members.

Cara Stark

The food was awesome as was the atmosphere, view and friendly staff.

Cindy Allaire

Nice restaurant! Staff is friendly and food is good. My boyfriend had an under cooked salmon, but the waitress was great and offered several options to him. Cheese cake was amazing !!

Houman Fathi

I loved it. We ordered elk stroganoff and fish pot. Both were delicious, specially fish. Tomato soup was not good.

Bob Zahlmann

Our favorite place for dinner when we get to Jasper. Mussels are delicious. Good food and good service. Make a reservation

Hristina GR

One of the nicest restaurants in jasper, was pretty, cozy, good food selections, the food could be a little less tacky looking and choice of vegetables, two different meals, same vegetables, eek. Very nice staff, it was better than the fairmont that's for sure, overall nice, but could be perfect if they tried a lake harder!?

Paula Vásquez

Excellent restaurant. loved it excellent service congratulations.super delicious food

Nick Granger-Brown

Lovely place to eat. A good mix of tasty cuisine and a homely, friendly atmosphere. I'm sure they do fish well but we came for the bison meatballs and elk stroganoff which were delicious.

Taha Ahmed

Great food for meat alternatives. It's seafood after all!

Yanxin Wang

Great seafood! Tried the fish skewer. It was a nice fish and shrimp skewer served with three types of sauces, rice, toasted vegetables and edamame. My wife had the lobster and shrimp. Also taste good.

Serena Ward

Excellent homemade food with plenty of choice on the menu. Even the herb bread was great! Ceviche as a starter was delicious, full of flavour and served with corn chips. I had another starter as a main, the excellent fish Chowder, with several fish, mussels, prawn and a clam. A big serving for a starter, I was full after these two, but wanted to taste a dessert! The mixed red fruit pie with ice cream, not bad and coffee was good! Definitely will come back here, service very friendly from an all woman team... maybe the man was slaving behind the stove??!!

Sudeshna Bhattacharya

Great food.

Charlie Wang (CharlesLanding)

Service was really good. It was so cute having the specials board brought to your table. Overall I think the prices are more aligned with fine dining spots. The schnitzel was a huge portion. I think the bill coming to 100+ made me rethink it but had a really good time.

Vanessa Clinton

This was recommended by the Rocky Mountaineer announcer on our train - it really just seemed like tourist food - more focused on being "unique and local cuisine!" than on actually being good food. My shrimp was overcooked, the lobster was just okay. The wild game Bolognese was just a basic Bolognese - nothing particularly special. The mussels were actually pretty good, in all fairness - really liked them. Generally speaking though, outshined by the restaurant below it.

Vanessa Igloo

Absolutely delicious. Only complaint? Unclean and wet plates for our main and appetizers.

Jennifer Zetterstrom

Excellent food and excellent service. Good adherence to Covid policies but not overbearing. Patio dining was a great experience, even in the rain. Plenty of umbrellas and awnings to keep us dry. Would highly recommend.

Ken Tran

Good food and service but a little pricey. The smoked seafood chowder was great. The braised elk stroganoff just tasted like beef.

Jessie Mo

Fish pot is very delicious!! The shrimp and the laboster were very good. There are many people wait for the table, go before to have a reservations will be better.

Douglas Scheible

One of the best meals i have ever had, right from the first bite of the salmon appetizer, to the last bite of the lobster tail and shrimp. We will be back!

Irtaza Tahir

This must have been one of the most amazing restaurants I've been to in Canada. I had there Fiddle Fish pot, a hearty rich dish, full of seafood (although I didn't have any salmon in mine) - the muscles and clams were done to perfection, and the hint of the fennel in the broth was quite nice. I also had their Maple pecan cheesecake for dessert. It looked homemade and it tasted amazing - not too sweet and a great way to end the evening. There was a slight hint of clove or excess nutmeg in the cheesecake which made it similar to a pumpkin spice sort of flavour – it wasn't bad, just slightly unexpected but it did kick up the flavour profile a notch. Perhaps even more amazing than the food was the service at the restaurant. My server (Lony (sp?))was very kind and quite engaged and it was a pleasure speaking with her. Moreover the restaurant has a really amazing views of Signal Hill and the surrounding mountains. I would definitely recommend going here. So i came back a second time...i had their smoked seafood chowder, candied salmon and chocolate souffle. Again, the food hit beyond my expectations and the service was exceptional as well.

Samantha Simpson

The food was fabulous. Got the boar belly a d shrimp appetizer and both my sister and I had the lobster tail and shrimp meal. The portions were the perfect size. The atmosphere makes the place appear very fancy, and lighting sets an intimate tone. Highly recommended. Must try.

Thomas Quiring

Food was pretty good, tho prices are a bit steep for what it was. Guess that's to be expected in a more touristy town like Jasper tho. People were also kind of packed inside the dining room. Not exactly covid safe if you are concerned about this.

Aleksandra Blazejczak

Food was absolutely delicious, our server was lovely and we had a great time!

Amanda Clifford

Highly recommend the pork appetizer. It was the best thing I have tasted all year and I normally do not eat or like pork. Drinks were spot on and my crab was good. The waitress was awesome. Will come again.

Chad C.

Every Bite was DELICIOUS! Expertly prepared and presented! Wild Mushroom Brushetta, Avocado-Seafood Ceviche, Canadian Elk Stroganoff...!!! Sofa King DELICIOUS!!

Travis Bergen

Second time there now The service and food are to die for I'd highly recommend going there

Lori Fowler

One of the best dining experiences we have had. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff were incredible. We choose various dishes from the menu to enjoy a selection of seafood and wild game options. Everything was beyond delicious. Highly recommend this spot if you are staying in Jasper.

Anne Chauvet

The Arctic char was absolutely delicious. Our server was wonderful and the views were fantastic from the rooftop patio. Would definitely come again in the future!

Aqsa Arshad

Visited this restaurant for my 1 night stay in Jasper and was blown away with their service. Such friendly staff and very accommodating as well. Had my 3 year old niece with us and they provided us with half of the portion size (& half the price) for the Channa masala as my niece didn't want anything from the kids menu. I ordered the fettuccine pasta but could've had a bit more flavour to it, although my husband really liked it, and ordered the fish and chips which also could've had a bit more flavour. However, the coconut shrimp for our appetizer was very good along with a yummy sauce! Thank you for an amazing experience!

Dan Omoigui

The food and service were both exceptional. The soup of the day (butternut squash) was fantastic, as were the main courses. We will definitely dine here again on our next stay in Jasper.

Paige Liang

The food was really disappointing. All the meat were overcooked. We ordered the New York steak and it is much smaller than the pictures from the reviews. The soup and the service was ok.

Jehad Abu-Ulbeh

The location is nice as it's on the second floor and you can look outside. Staff are very friendly and service is very good. Food is not as great as I was hoping and overly priced for the quality. My halibut and salmon cakes were delicious, but the presentation is not great. But they were tasty and not fishy. But my vegetarian ricotta and kale ravioli was not good at all. It tasted bitter and the sauce watered down. I informed the waitress who offered to get me something but there was nothing else I wanted. She was extremely nice and gave it to me for half price. My husband dish (fish pot) was ok but the brooth too runny. Too pricey for the quality.

Maria Trang

Very good restaurant for family in Jasper downtown. I like staffs here, very friendly and gave me a comfortable feeling. We sat near the window and can see Jasper night life when eating. Good food and acceptable prices, highly recommended.

Karin L

Dinner was fantastic and the service was excellent! We had the Fish Cakes for an appetizer. It was a fantastic choice. Crunchy with great flavour. We both had the Fish Pot, absolutely amazing! We had no room for dessert … maybe next time.

Kim Swift

I ate dinner here on 11 July 2019 and felt lucky to get a table on the patio with no wait, but my experience somehow got progressively better!! I ordered a pear cider which was so good I needed to order another one. Having never had elk before, I took a shot with the elk stroganoff and it was absolutely delicious!! If it were so easy I would ship some home to family to gorge themselves on. Also, the service was great and I left there very happy! Very well done to everyone at Fiddle River Restaurant! Thank you.

Dave Mathieson

Wonderful food to go with the amazing views and with passionate and friendly service and a bonus of their local knowledge of things we should do. Highly recommend the authentic local Jasper experience.

Dani Nabholz

Loved it! Food was delicious! I really felt like the menu offerings were super unique and that the flavor combinations seemed very alberta-esque. Staff was very friendly with great local tips and suggestions on things to experience. I would recommend it as a must food experience in Jasper!

Marcela Corbala

The atmosphere is great, cozy and quiet. The food was good, nothing exceptional we had the coconut prawns, seafood chowder and the special of the day which was Atlantic Salmon in Thai soup. The service was really friendly and quick. A safe choice for some seafood, family dinner / date.
