While Kananaskis Country isn’t known for having a sprawling town center like our neighbors, we still have amazing culinary experiences tucked into our village centre, attached to hotels and other attractions. There are a huge variety of options to choose from just a short drive after your wilderness adventures. These dining options run the range from casual to luxurious, but one thing they all have in common is proximity to amazing views and natural settings.

Forte Restaurant

Forte is located in Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, and welcomes guests beyond those staying at the hotel. The atmosphere is the perfect balance of casual but sophisticated, your everyday dining room for delicious, modern, Italian-style meals. Its expansive windows provide stunning views of the property, filling the dining room with sunshine.

Open from breakfast to dinner, you can spend your entire morning relaxing over a leisurely brunch of eggs benedict and mimosas. Then, as the sun goes down Forte’s kitchen heats up and invites you to share a bottle of wine and a handcrafted margherita pizza straight from our wood-fire ovens.

Boundary Ranch BBQ

The Summit Restaurant is located in the clubhouse of the Kananaskis Country Golf Course. One of the highlights of this special place is the Mt. Kidd and Mt. Lorette patios that feature the most incredible mountain views and ambiance of the Alberta Rockies. During the golf season, they are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week, rain or shine. Their menu is filled with Classic favourites and some exciting takes on new creations. We can’t think of a better way to finish your unforgettable Kananaskis golf experience than a delicious meal at The Summit!

Mount Engadine Lodge Afternoon Tea

Mount Engadine prides themselves on using locally sourced ingredients and providing guests with a unique dining experience served in a casual and relaxed setting. Their afternoon tea has its own mountain twist, featuring daily baked goodies, fresh fruit, local meats from Valbella’s, refined cheeses, freshly brewed coffee and your choice of Canadian tea blends from Banff Tea Co.

Cedar Room

Let the evening slip away in the cozy ambiance and warmth of contemporary mountain comfort. The Cedar Room features a seasonal menu of only the finest and freshest local ingredients. Their expert chefs are proud to deliver premium cuts of Canadian beef, fresh coastal seafood, and humanely raised poultry, carefully crafted and without compromise.

Blacktail Bar

Blacktail Bar is a modern mountain lounge that showcases handcrafted cocktails and delicious regional beers alongside a range of healthy and hearty dishes. Centrally located off the Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge main lobby, it is the gathering spot to meet for a casual lunch or to toast a day well spent. Enjoy a full meal or share small plates cozied up to the embrace of a roaring fireplace, or relax at the bar for an unforgettable evening of refined mountain living. Stop in for appetizers and drinks before dinner at the Cedar Room, or for a quiet night-cap before turning in for the evening.

Kananaskis is quickly becoming known for its culinary choices. We like to think of ourselves as the more unspoilt of Alberta’s alpine attractions and our approach to service and dining reflects this. No urban or tourist sprawl, just incredible food options for every taste, tucked into the most amazing natural setting. Come see for yourselves!
