Reviews of Rundle Bar at Fairmont Banff Springs (Winery)

Mike Olds

This is a classy, high end lounge with panoramic views of the valley. There's comfortable seating and a nice booze selection. Service was surprisingly split for a place this tony; we got a couple rounds of free bar snacks delivered to us, but never managed to flag down a waiter for a drink.

Matt Linak

Why skip a classic experience ... at the Fairmont ... in Banff? The experience doesn't disappoint. The views are stunning, the service is delightful, and the tea, scones, sandwiches, and desserts are perfection. I appreciated the sniffing station to help me with my tea selection. Stick with the regular afternoon tea. The addition of champagne and the cheese board is overwhelming.

Miguel H

Excellent experience. Outstanding host she was attentive and explained everything in detail. My wife and daughters loved it so did I. Every detail was impeccable. We had a center table and the view was amazing. The afternoon tea experience was top and how my 7 year would say looks so Fancy. I highly recommend. After high tea I also recommend a stroll around The magnificent Fairmont Banff Springs. Thank you.

Overall - This should be a must see for every traveler visiting Banff. Good - The sight of this hotel is breathtaking. It is strategically built that the back of the hotel overlooks the lake and the Rockies, take pictures in the balcony if it is open (it was closed when we went). We enjoyed a brunch in the Rundle lounge (also a must do activity) and it was very delicious. We had the Alberta Sirloin Burger and a Crunchy Fish Sandwich. The meal was absolutely flavorful and makes my mouth water just thinking about it. The burger and sandwich also came with a soup/salad, which were good as well. Bad - It is pricey. This was our breakfast and lunch for that day so we swallowed the price tag. Tip - You do not have to eat there to check out the amazing views or the hotel. Feel free to walk in and walk out. Parking could be an issue. If you do not find parking on the street you are looking at about 3 CAD to self-park.

Nick Tang

Came here for the afternoon tea. The service and the view was pretty good but I’m very disappointed with the food, especially the wagyu beef, tastes awful. The whole setup was dated and the overall food quality is not as good as I expected.

Dave Cooke

beautiful views of the Rockies from all sides while you sip on delicious beverages

Oliver Hoffmann

Afternoon tea is very good but expensive.

Cassandra Miller

Drinks & food as well as the service was amazing. I love that there is so many different comfy areas to sit. I will definitely make this my regular hang out spot.

Blair Gordon

Excellent food and service from Emily .

Alexandra Sellers

The views were stunning and the food was lovely as well. We held a large corporate event here and they accommodated us perfectly.

James Timmons

Warm, friendly, excellent, expensive, place to have an anniversary tea served perfectly with awesome mountain views and live piano music in an historic CP hotel.

Meghan Bascombe

Awesome place for late night drinks and snacks! Our server Audrey was lovely and always seemed to appear as soon as we needed another drink! The DJ was also super fun! Rundle bar fills a space city people will love that nowhere else in Banff offers.

Sid Chapnick

Wine tasting among the free tours provided by the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. Another of the many Gold experiences provided by the hotel. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Another great part of the Fairmont experience.

Eric Ngarambe

You deserve nothing other than a 5 star rating. You guys made my Holliday's great.

Joshua Voskoboinikov

Great tea selection with good light food, little on the expensive side, but with fantastic views.

Irene Arceo

The staff was very welcoming and we enjoyed every bit of it! I highly recommend if you are around the area! It’s a great experience and the view is breath taking.

Laura Hughes

High Tea at the Rundle lounge was amazing! So many teas to choose from, delicious food and an amazing view! Friendly staff too!!

Parker Phinney

Surprisingly reasonable prices. Excellent service.

D Rose

Such a great bar located right in the Banff Springs Hotel. The food and cocktails were outstanding!

Kenny Tang

Perhaps a one off, but we arrived at 9:10pm tonight , we were welcomed and asked to pick our own seats. waited til 9:40 without being served or even greeted by a server. No water, no introduction, nothing. Patrons to the left and right of us arrived later than us and were served before us. The restaurant was probably half empty. I ended up going to the bar to try and find a server, mind you at this point it is 9:50pm, we were fed up and just ended up leaving, no food no greeting. room service it is good luck to us, rundle bar servers, you have to be more on it. Disappointment as this was our little get away from the kids, at a beautiful hotel just to be left hangry.

Wai Chan

This review is for afternoon tea at the Rundle lounge. The setting is beautiful. The experience is Instagram worthy. The service was casual and exceptionally friendly. The price might be considered prohibitive, but this is the Fairmont Banff springs. My last experience bordered on a 3-4. We just really didn't love the desserts. At this price point we should. The customer service is top notch though. I did mention it in my review and the kitchen manager did say he will address it so I am looking forward to trying it in the future. My last experience was a 4-5 star. That's why I'm doing a 4 star for now. Pro tip: One thing that isn't made clear is whether or not you can get extra items if you aren't full. I'm not a huge eater so for me, the amount given is fine. I'm pretty sure you can get more (no extra charge). I know some people might not think to ask even if they might be leaving hungry, so that's a good thing to know. It also makes their price point much better knowing that. You can also get different teas if they aren't too busy. It's nice having a switch especially if you can't handle too much caffeine.

Lames A

Gorgeous bar with amazing views. The cocktails are inspired and the bar menu is simple but SO tasty. Seating is a first come first serve deal but you have great views from pretty much any spot in the bar, even if it’s just views of the bar itself which is fabulously decorated.

Jason Krausert

Great service, nice atmosphere and stunning scenery. Thank you!

Teigan de Boer

Amazing high tea. Perfect afternoon. Staff are attentive and friendly.

Oscar Kwok

Came here for the afternoon tea which was $55 per person. It was very good and I feel it is better than the one at Lake Louise Fairmont Chateau. There are many teas for you to choose from and you can smell them before deciding. The scones are the right size, not too big. I loved the pistachio desert and savory food. The atmosphere is beautiful and modern. The staff are friendly and helpful as they were patient in helping us take window photos with the great view. I think it is less crowded than the one at Lake Louise which makes it more relaxing. Highly recommend!

Cory Brunsel

One of the best plac s to relax to live music on a Friday or Saturday night!!!

Mackenzie Lowe

Afternoon tea is delicious! Its quite pricy but worth it for the afternoon! Our server was wonderful as well

Rangelle

View is amazing. Tea is good. Afternoon tea items overrated for the price. But youre paying for the brand...

Nathan Sharma

New renos looks really classy, highly recommended.

Tyler Tocker

Nice place with great views of the valley. We didn't eat this time but had a couple after dinner drinks. Have no complaints other than outdoor patio could stay open a little later.

Doug Logan

The poke bowl is so tasty - great views in such a beautiful building. A great experience all around. Happy hour drinks were nice touch too ????

J D

They make drinks that taste so good you don't mind taking that second mortgage out to cover the bill!!.. go on happy hour 4-6 and you be glad you went

Zoe Donato

Really enjoyed our time at this hotel and the Rundle BAR. Our drinks were fabulous, the space was old world meets new and our server Bruce was kind, knowledgeable, funny, and charismatic. Thank you for the great service, we will be back!

Oleg Kuznetsov

Great views and snacks.

Yasmin Hovakeemian

I've been to the Rundle Lounge a few times for afternoon tea over the years and the first thing I'll say is it's expensive. Be prepared for $100+ for two for tea time. Their pastries are quite good (although I prefer the pastries during the other times I've been there). They do seem to cycle the menus with the season so it's always nice to get something different, I'm just not a fan of their winter menu items. I put in a reservation for a birthday (mine) the last time that I went, and I'll have to say that normally their service is on top of everything but it seemed very forced and not so personalized this last time. No mention of birthday or any of our special requests. That's ok, but for the price tag and Fairmont name, I expect service. Overall, I would recommend tea time if you are willing to pay the price tag. It is a beautiful environment to look over the bow valley while enjoying a tea time tradition.

Nicholas Quintillan

Phenomenal cocktails in a superb and relaxing environment, situated in the glorious Banff Springs Hotel. Highly recommended!

fernando corona

Beautiful bar, great service, amazing cocktails - we tried most of them and each one of them was incredible. There's a drink for any taste. But besides the drinks, I highly recommend their food. Everything was delicious, specially the chips and the onion dip - we ended up ordering it again the day after.

itsallhers

Amazing experience! The food and drinks were amazing. The service though...outstanding! You will be very lucky to have Emily as a server. She was the sweetest! :) GET THE VEGAN ROLL!

Ian Pond

Good atmosphere, reasonable drinks, tasty snacks. But expensive. You pay hefty for the Fairmont name on the menu.

kate hazlehurst

Lovely surroundings, the hotel is incredible but definitely had better afternoon tea's

Tracie Bratcher

Our first tea time and what a wonderful experience it was the most incredible views of tunnel mountain in the Fairmont wow. If ever in Canada in Banff national park this is a must. Love Alberta.

Jackal Fever

I recently went to the Rundle Lounge for some appetizers and cocktails and was so happy with the quality of the cocktails that I received! Our server Meghan was so nice and even though the patio was busy she always came over and made sure we had everything we needed! When the food came down the porter Sarah was so informative with explaining all the different sauces and dishes as she was putting them on the table! Will definitely be returning in the future and will recommend this restaurant to anyone who is thinking about visiting Banff.

Kat Hansen

Excellent, as always

Tricia Muenchow

My husband and I stopped into the Rundle Lounge after a hike for the views and a glass of wine. Sophie went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. She took good care of us and made sure we had everything we needed, even took the time time to look up and pass on some information to enhance our stay. If you ever stop in the Rundle Lounge ask for Sophie ☺️

Kayla Dawn

I called to see if they had reservations for a group of 10 for high tea for part of my bachelorette party, as the website they use for online bookings said they didn't have anything. I called late at night but the lady I talked to was so helpful and nice, and said someone would call back within 24 hours. They called the next day and could squeeze us in for 11:15 which was perfect. You do NOT show up late to high tea at the Banff Springs, but a few of my friends made us 15 minutes late. Our server was so accommodating and didn't mind at all. I can't remember her name, but she took us through what types of sandwhiches and desserts were put out for us, and how picking our tea worked. There were a couple of people who had intolerance's and food allergies, but the server and the kitchen staff were so amazing at accommodating them and making sure that there were alternatives that they could eat. The server was also kind enough to take some pictures of us all during the lunch. As per usual, the Fairmont Banff Springs went above and beyond to accommodate our large group to make the experience something to remember. Overall it was an absolutely amazing experience that I will definitely come back to, and I would not hesitate to recommend the high tea to others. Thanks for making this the highlight of my bachelorette party! :)

Trena Kraft

A fantastic hotel bar and restaurant! The service is great! Great food and cocktails! We stop in after our day out and after our night out. Realistically one doesn't have to leave the hotel, they have everything.

Rebecca B-rown

Rundle Bar, cannot wait to go back! We only had drinks though what an experience! Would like to try the food next ???? Service was also excellent

Havanna Hayward

Great ambiance, friendly staff, great appies (steak tartar the best) & drinks, great variety

Warren Monteiro

I'm sure they have great drinks here, but we dropped by for a quick lunch which was a huge disappointment. I ordered the bison sliders, I received two small pool-ball sized burgers with some chips for $24. The food was delivered not at all once to the table, but the first guest received their plate and we waited, and waited, and waited, all in all in took about 10 minutes for the first guest to get their food and the rest of the table to get their food, mind you, we were only a table of 4 people. I am not sure why but the value for the food is not good and having the kitchen send out the plates in such a broken up order was not pleasant. Will definitely not be going back to the rundle room!!! If you need to eat anything go to the other restaurants at the Banff springs this was a complete fail.

Justyn McDonald

Food was so nice, we had to do it twice. Amazing service despite being busy, gorgeous views from the upstairs windows and amazing food. Soup was delicious both nights. Inspired tapas plates and great appetizers. Wonderful muddles and drinks.

Aki Sarkar

Great service and food menu. Amazing appetizers and cocktails. Definitely a great place to eat with your family and friends.

Brandon Parenteau

Incredible backdrop for a cocktail or bite to eat. Perhaps not a better combination of luxury and view in the Rockies. Pricey, but worth every dime. Highly recommended.

Jinks Dulhunty

OMG how bad can food get? This hotel should be ashamed of this only lunchtime offering -worse than the worst regional Irish pub. The founders would be turning in their graves. I'm sorry but this is a truth you have to hear. For gods sake subsidise one of the decent restaurants in your gorgeous glamorous building to open for lunch and market it for them. Drinks are great!

Gareth Berg

Great place to meet up and relax. Food is quite good

Monica K

Loved this place so much I visited it twice during my vacation here. Dinner with a jaw dropping view. You can come in and seat yourself however if u want u can also ask the server to reserve a table for u if u have to walk away for a moment. The food was delicious as well, especially the homemade chips I had that came with the Alberta steak sandwich.

Spencer Lupul

The view is un-beatable, but bring your chequebook.

Judo River

Loved the Rundle- our server Nicole gave us great tips about the area, and her cocktail suggestions were awesome. We will definitely come back the next time we visit Banff :)

Jalyka

I was at the Fairmont for a conference. As a person who eats a ketogenic diet, it's very important to find places that can accommodate. I went to the Rundle Lounge at the Fairmont and was hoping to find something that I could eat. After a slight misunderstanding, Chris, the manager made sure to go above and beyond to ensure that I had something that would fit my way of eating. Once I got my food, it was fresh, and exactly what I had ordered. Delicious! Kudos to the staff, especially Vicente and Chris. They were kind and apologetic for the slight error. Keep up the great work!

Laura C

Our last visit a few years ago was great, there were more options for snacks then. I remember we had the best nachos ever. But they didn’t have the same food this time. We also had come this time for the afternoon tea, and there was nothing advertised on the website that reservations are mandatory, only recommended. We arrived before 1 pm and were told afternoon tea was sold out, so we had to leave. Was a bit frustrating and we also had already paid for parking.

t r

5 stars for the setting, it's beautiful. The food is good too, just a little pricey. Still worth going just for the atmosphere!

David Bonte

Had a great time for high tea at Rundle Lounge. Great experience. Great food. Will return.

Scott MacDonald

Excellent service from Joey at the bar. Great atmosphere and delicious spirits. A+.

Kelcee Harris

Recently revamped their lounge. Honestly miss the old decor. Always have to stop and have a cocktail or two in the Rundle Lounge.

Shawn Kearns

Had several great meals and drinks here and our experience was made all the more enjoyable by Brian working behind the bar. Super friendly, mixes excellent cocktails and made great suggestions for vegan dishes. Although the views are spectacular for tables by the windows you will drfinitely find us sitting at the bar for the extraordinary service! Thank you Brian!

Alex Miller

The food is good and the view is unbelievable, but it's way overpriced.

Jason Stratford

Love, love, love this lounge! Has an old time feel to it and a great happy hour daily! Inside one of my favourite hotels in the world.

Ali DiMarco

Had high tea at the Fairmont Banff Springs last month for my birthday and it was spectacular! The views were so amazing and the food was delicious! Would definitely recommend as a little treat to do in Banff!

Lindsay Rous

The high tea had tons of excellent food, and yummy teas. Beautiful views, would recommend!

Nadya Iswari

Nice place to chill and relax with friends. Tried the royal afternoon tea and it was really enjoyable.

Kash D

Saskatoon Manhattan (left in pic) is top ranked in my book. My wife enjoyed the Mad Hatter (right in pic) as well.

Lina Di Giulio

Great service and great food.

Zeke News

Rundle Lounge was a great place to end the day at the Travel Alberta Industry Conference

Nikki W

Disappointed with the new Reno's .. smaller tables, bad lines now for food, pasta chef was rude.. used to love coming here. Not sure worth the money any more.

Martin Chambert

Nice bar, the cocktail liste is great, and the Mai Tai's are exceptional...

Anita Van Rootselaar @ RE/MAX - Guelph Area Living

When I think of the Rundle Room, I think of wonderful views, comfortable and private seating areas, attentive service, and delicious food. I enjoyed their Cobb salad along with a Caesar and my taste buds were tantalized! SO delicious.

negar khalili

Very friendly staff and well done service

Laurelynn **

Afternoon tea was my Mother's day gift to my two daughters. Covid delayed our outing, but we got away to Banff this weekend. We were all excited to be having afternoon tea. I designed and made fascinators for them, which added to their anticipation of the event. Most of my selections were comparable to their's with the exception of: the shredded cucumber and radish sandwich (which had NOTHING on the bread). I have catered (Calgary High Tea society) and wouldn't dream of presenting a bare sandwich... a pear and feta compilation (which looked like a pear which was rotting from the core outward). I like my food to at least LOOK palatable.

Chad Milroy

After a busy day out and about, this bar is perfect for the wind down. Our server, Jeff, was fantastic. He was super friendly, very knowledgeable and helpful with drinks and snacks. We crashed in the Rundle for four hours trying almost …

Jennifer Considine

The cocktails are amazing! Great sushi and vegetables with hummus dip. Fantastic service and view.

Stephen Wagner

A must visit at the Fairmont for nice casual drinks... Bautiful views, fun cocktail menu, and great service!

Gurinder Sundal

We had a another great meal at the Fairmont hotel. Food and service was excellent on the balcony. The Mediterranean menu was tasty. Eggplant and meatball appetizer was a highlight.

Brandy Greco

What a fantastic place to grab a drink before hitting up dinner at The Vermillion Room. The service is excellent, the drinks are unique, and the view isn't too bad either. Try to grab a seat by the large windows at the end, it's one of the best views in Banff (IMO).

Bi L

Came here for afternoon tea in the winter time. It was a little disappointing as the food wasn’t that great and the atmosphere was lacking. Overall the restaurant looked nice but when you sat down for tea, you can tell how dated the whole area is and it gave off a gloomy vibe as well. However the view outside was gorgeous and the service was excellent.

Gene Teichroeb

Expensive but the food and cocktails were very good and the views are just amazing. The ambiance and panoramic mountain views are world class and this was a great way to spend our last evening in Banff.

Luciano Medeiros Marcelino

Cozy place with great food and great service. The food came quickly and the view is... it’s impossible to put it in words. Parking around here is a bit expensive, but this pub has a fair price. I’ll definitely come back here when I’m around

Rosalind Gardner

One of my two favorite bars in the world, the other one being at the Chateau Lake Louise. Great spot to grab a beverage and a snack in the late afternoon while you relax, enjoy the view and ponder your adventures of the day or your plans for the evening ahead. Be sure to chat with the wait staff beyond your order. They are always from another part of Canada or the world and are such interesting young people!

Mickey Sargent

The new renos are fantastic! Classy and cozy. Highly recommend the Boulvardier! It's actually on drafts and incredibly smooth. The wait staff are all phenomenal!

jason penny

An amazing experience. A great treat. Service is great and the afternoon tea is outstanding. Well worth a visit on those special occasions.

R G

Amazing cocktails in such a great bar!

Ann W.

Had afternoon tea for my birthday. Service and tea was excellent. The sandwiches was just sub par.

Shanyn Silinski

Nicely done drinks and snacks. Great atmosphere.

Orit Sarah Cohen

Absolutely incredible cocktail class ! Learned so much ! A HUGE thank you to AMY & DANIEL

Michael d

Went in expecting a wonderful experience as the reviews were so good but instead was left with old bland food and an expensive bill. The food was hardly consistent with anything that should cost as much as it did. And even some of the items …

Manoj Swami

Great views. Food was good. Cocktails were great. Wish they had provided a cup for the olive pits, or more paper napkins to discretely put the pits away. Great experience overall.

Michelle Garneau

Great place to sit back and socialize. Enjoyed some delicious gluten free black forest cake.

Alana M

Great service, but drinks are a bit pricey. It's a great, comfortable, relaxed environment.

Christa Love

Overpriced. Small portions. Understaffed. You are paying for the view...go elsewhere. Not worth it. There are better places to eat in Banff.

Leanna Parent

Food delicious, drinks even better! Chris Collins and Alyssa Saltesz were amazing servers :) not to mention the stellar mountain view

Lance Hyndman

Great ambiance. Our server Rebekah was awesome!

Ethan Jenkinson

Vicente and his manager Ollie went far beyond the call of duty and turned an evening drink into an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Extremely knowledgable, take genuine pride in their jobs, and care about each and every guest. It is …

Kristen

Definitely on the pricey side but the drinks and service make it worth it! Fantastic experience!

Jaspreet Mann

My sister and I decided to take my mother out for high tea. We got the Traditional platter for around 65$ per person. The high tea sandwiches and pastries were amazing! They all had different flavors. The service there was amazing, quick and prompt. Our server listened to our dietary concerns and had some recommendations. We tried the mint tea, and masala chai tea (ordered a side of steamed milk to go along with the chai tea). The macarons were a little too sweet, but the cucumber sandwiches were divine! The scones were marvelous! The staff at Fairmont Banff Springs employees were amazing, they were very friendly and polite. Definitely worth it and would have it again!

dustin long

Incredible presentation!

Anthony Reimer

This is a special spot for so many reasons. The best Old Fashioned's!

Jasmine Rogers

Loved the atmosphere and the varied seating arrangements. Was there in late November and the scenes outside were beautiful! Wifi was good enough that I was able to Skype with my husband. Also, you should definitely have the chocolate cake. They give you a little cup of chocolate sauce to spread on and yummmmmmmmm!!!

Chris B

Cocktails are great! Service was friendly and attentive. 18$ for a California Roll... are you kidding me? - You can't make it with real crab? - Don't call it a Crab Roll when it has fake crab.

Carlos Sosa

Excellent service

Ronit Golkov

Food was delicious drinks were so presentable and the view was jaw dropping !

Debbie Burnett

Beautiful view nice drinks and good service

Paul Onderwater

A great place to grab a bite or have a cocktail as you while away your time looking at the mountains! Staff are excellent, food is excellent, location is excellent and view is spectacular!

Kelly

The view was stunning! I would go back for the view! Afternoon tea was ...somewhat disappointing. I loved their tea selection but scone, pastry stuff was disappointing. It would have been better if it was warm. It was worse than what 3 star hotel in London, UK serves.

Danielle Blackwell

Afternoon tea in the Rundle lounge is always a special experience. The staff are excellent, very attentive and friendly. The tea and food are alway superb

Mac Ram

Very nice spot...food is great. Drinks and tea are excellent.. very nice live music. Prices are reasonable given the place

Andrei Ilioviciu

Treat yourself and forget anything past these walls. Beautiful place for it! No complaints!

J G

food and service were great. or waiter was exclent as well. went above and beyond what is exspected of him. drinks tasted and lookd great as well

Andrei Edwards

Great atmosphere and friendly staff!

Denise M

We went for High Tea on a Sunday afternoon. Everything was so lovely. We did feel there could be a couple more savory items to even it out, but all items were delicious and so was the tea. You only get to chose one tea per person, it would …

David Wei

Superior quality and taste.

dr9106

Great bar with an amazing view! We were not guest of the hotel however they treated us equally. The service was top-notch and the quality of the food and drinks were great oh and not to mention that gorgeous view!

wayne patterson

Fabulous place to enjoy terrific cocktails & nibbles with spectacular views of the Canadian Rockies!!

DS Ham

The view is awesome. Looks like graphics of mountains and Bow river have been put outside the window.

v lee

Where should I start? It was a disappointing dining experience. I paid $188 for two FESTIVE afternoon tea at Rundle Bar. Unfortunately, the food was obviously not freshly made. The scones were very dry to begin with. There was a small …

Michael

Had dinner here last night wonderful service great food burger to die for and flat bread were great. A must if staying at the hotel.

Thomas Larsen

Fantastic place, really friendly staff and good drinks. You do get the tourist prices but that is to be expected as it is a tourist town. Would definitely recommend.

Jamil Juma

Rundle bar is an elegant and luxurious place to enjoy a drink. The service is fantastic, as you would expect from any Fairmont venue. The bar has a cool layout with an upper level they offers views outside or elevated views of the rest of the bar. The drinks are on point, but also as you’d expect from the Fairmont, expensive. Overall, a great bar for everything other than value but you do get what you pay for here.

Jody Bielesch

Ambiance and views can't be beat. Small plate food is good.

Mathew Richards

We had a nice lunch of Bao Buns and a Cobb Salad. Top notch food and service. The house-made ginger ale is the best I've ever had. Pricey but great quality. Would visit again for lunch or drinks.

Ted Jobson

This is just another great part of this fabulous hotel, great drinks.

Julie Kolenko

Was impressed with how the staff went above and beyond. I forgot that I live in Alberta. I have never had such good service and I’ve travelled to some far away destinations, such as St Anton am Alberg and the Seychelles.

kyle comeau

I love this place! Great cocktails and the new renovations look amazing!

LEE KONIDAS

Good food but price is a little steep for example $11 for coffee and hot chocolate …..really ?

Shu Mushrif

Dining here is something everyone needs to experience at least once!

Wendy Gorris

Totally enjoyed high tea at the Rundle Lounge! Our server Ankit was very kind and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the AMAZING view & food!

Dylan Smith

The Rundle Bar is the central lounge in the Banff Springs Hotel, the space is very large and has the old world charm. The views out of the windows at night are beautiful. The drink menu is expansive with many unique cocktails to try and a large selection of wine, spirits and beer. The food is also very good, you absolutely need to try the crisps and dip, that dip is seriously the best dip I've every had in my life. They need to package it up and start selling it because I would buy a huge tub of it. The sushi was also really good, but everything pales in comparison to the dip!

Scott Humphrey

Great service, no beating the view, and solid food/drinks.

Chris Schneider

Always have a great experience here, this time was different, ordered 5 steak sandwiches which are usually the best anywhere. I asked for medium, was told that I could only get med well. My parents and fiancée wanted well done. All 5 steaks came out rare as rare can get. I am very disappointed ????

Katie Heidt

Beautiful bar with amazing views. The cocktails were great and the views were amazing.

Will

Medium at best. Went for happy hour and the only good thing I can say about the menu or service is that it's ok to get buzzed on a cheap buck.

Kingston II Hendrik

Very good experience

Tiffany R

Delicious desserts and our waitress was absolutely phenomenal. The whole place is really cool to wander around as well. Definitely recommend if you're in the Banff area.

Vicken Rama

Terrible service we waited over half an hour for someone to take our order. At the end we just left and the worse part is that they were taking other people order that came after us. No even an apology from the front end staff.

Usman M

Whether you're visiting or staying at the castle, come by the Rundle room for a stunning view and a relaxing drink.

John Clarke

Amazing drinks.

Betty Hobbs

Had high tea with out of town relatives, it was amazing. We had a wonderful time, our server Raven was incredible, very attentive and knowledgeable. We recommend she get a raise. Thankyou for a wonderful day.

Carol Ann Kryslak

We visited Rundle Bar for pre-dinner cocktails. The space is so beautiful! Amazing views, great drinks and very friendly service! Definitely recommend!

Elyshia Pilon

Great selection of snacks and drinks. Newly renovated, it’s even cozier than before.

ivon chauhan

Best views in Banff. Staff are great drinks are boozy but good.

Sara Fisk

My family and I enjoyed the afternoon tea. The tea selection was wonderful. They have something for everyone. The scone, sandwich, and dessert selection was excellent. Take your time and savour each bite and flavour. This is a real treat.

Sarah Walker

We had Afternoon Tea at the Rundle during our stay the week before Christmas. Our Server Ankit was excellent and very knowledgeable about their teas. The cakes, salmon and tea were all excellent. My only regret is that we cannot visit more often. The view from our seats of the mountain was spectacular.

Ashley Gard

What a great day!!! We had the pleasure of having Megan F as our waitress. She made the day perfect. Megan was great at her job and she is just a great person! The tea was great and the selection of pastries. Great way to celebrate my best friends birthday.
