Creative but not that tasty - Edit
Really pleased to find vegan options in Banff but not really impressed with the food, especially for the price. They use interesting ingredients and lots of food is covered with fruit but it doesn’t go that well in my opinion. Had nachos with 27 ingredients but they were just a bit too random choices that weren’t very flavourful (like satsuma, pickles and peas) had ‘poutine’ and it was very different to any vegan ‘poutine’ I’ve had with no attempt at vegan cheese curd or gravy. Mushroom ravioli was average and Nourish Bowl very disappointing (mainly just quinoa and mixed veg for $22!) Saying that, atmosphere was nice and cocktails great!
Read morePros: Everything on menu can be made vegan , They are creative , Great cocktails/drinks list
Cons: Expensive , Food not great, Still have dairy on menu

Food is really good - Edit
It’s hard to speak bad about a place nestled in the Canadian Rocky’s, they serve great food and have an unbeatable view from the patio. They also have a great drink menu

Brilliant food! - Edit
Great atmosphere with very friendly staff and great food. Cauliflower to start, was good. Mushroom ravioli is second to none. Mac and cheese was had too many vegetables but sauce was nice. The soup of the day was harrisa potatoes, and that was so good we ordered as a starter then ending up getting as a main because it was amaaaazing. We went back for breakfast and had the chickpea omelette and aloo paratha and it was so amazing with nice harrisa hash browns which were more like home fries but amazing.

Great vegan food - Edit
We had lunch here as soon as we arrived in Banff. Good choice, and yummy food: vegetable gyoza, lettuce, hummus, and vegetables rolls, and falafel burrito. Welcoming staff.

Tasteless mush - Edit
Here's the menu description: Nourishment Bowl -- Quinoa and roasted veg sauteed in garlic and coconut cream, topped with fresh veg, nuts, seeds, house made dressing.
Read moreHere's what was served -- Tasteless mush. There were literally a few kernels of corn and a few green peas in the glop. Those were the only sign of roasted vegetables. Nothing tasted like coconut. The mush was on top of on 3 or four leaves of spinach. There was no dressing. All this for $22.22. This was the worst meal out in a very long time.
Pros: None
Cons: Terrible, expensive food.

Good vegan food - Edit
L’entrée de dumplings était plus qu’excellente! Je recommande vivement!
Read moreQuant au repas, je voulais initialement prendre la pizza vegan, mais comme le restaurant n’avait plus de fromage vegan, j’ai choisi la salade de falafels. Je n’ai pas été déçu! Cela dit, il aurait pu y avoir moins de hummus.
Pour le dessert, j’ai choisi la barre Nanaimo et elle était très bonne!😄
Pros: Plusieurs options vegan, Ambiance , Service
Cons: Entrée un peu dispendieuse

Lots of options - Edit
The menu is very clearly marked with what is vegan, vegetarian and gluten free. It also is marked with which ones can be made vegan with some substitutions. The food was good - we had the nachos, the noodles and the ravioli. The ravioli was the best dish of all. The service was pretty slow - it kind of seemed like our waitress didn’t know which tables were hers, but overall a nice experience.
Read morePros: Lots of options, Cool ambiance
Cons: Small, Slow service

We tried the Thai cauliflower bites, so delicious. And the Pani Puri, filled puffs — adventurous food, try it if you like new things (it's good!). Very nice people!

$$ 🍔 - Edit
I’ve been here three times, the food is a bit hit and miss, I had the mushroom ravioli tonight and it was so salty I didn’t enjoy it at all but I’ve had other things there and enjoyed them. I don’t think I’ll go back for a fourth.
Read moreThe place is pricey but I think that’s just Banff in general.
Pros: I think everything can be vegan, Great service

Delicious food! - Edit
We went for my daughter's 13th birthday and the service was great, very attentive and she made great recommendations. The kids all had the bear street burger, I had the King Kong noodles, and the husband had French onion soup and the pasta special. It was all delicious. The restaurant is vegetarian, but everything can be made vegan and most items can be made gluten friendly. The wine list labels vegan, old world, and organic wines so you know what you're getting. Good local kombucha and craft Sosa's too. They have live music some nights, it wasn't too loud and the musician was very talented. The kids really enjoyed it.
Read moreI would love to go back and try everything!

Good spot for junk food - Edit
As the only veggie place in Banff other than juice bars they are holding their own, we got the beyond burger, garden field burger and ribs, honestly the garden burger was the kind of mushy vegan burgers I hate, the ribs were super dense like a hard paste, the beyond burger I'm sure would of been right up some peoples ally but just not mine, that's not the restaurants fault at all, but you did have to pick through the chips as some were still very firm and not really cooked properly... I think they deserve 4 stars for everything being able to made vegan I think we just picked the wrong meals
Read morePros: Everything can be made vegan
Cons: I wasn't blown away by the food, Nothing on the vegan food in vancouver

Pricey - Edit
Nice and cozy place, fancy, yet a bit underwhelming food. I ordered a burger which was falling apart and overall was not that great.The soup was good. Burger with soup on the side (no drinks, no fries) cost me about $25 with tips and taxes. This is Banff however, so higher prices are to be expected.
Read moreThe restaurant seems to be set up for groups and not solo travellers. There's no Wi-Fi. Most dishes are made to share. The presentation was beautiful though.
All in all, nice restaurant, great to have an all-vegan place in Banff.
Pros: Vegan options available
Cons: Expensive, a burger could use more flavour

Warming, delicious food - Edit
I visited here in summer last year and I really liked it. Came back again tonight and I loved it! Great food, I ordered the Mac and squeeze dish which was delicious and warming on an unusually snowy mid September day! I also got the truffles for dessert. The staff were great, the service was quick, the prices were reasonable.

good option - Edit
We got the cauliflower bites (meh), the Mac and squeeze (but we replaced the quinoa noodles for gnocchi on the servers suggestion - delicious) and the king Kong Noodles which were also great. Almost everything could be vegan which is always a plus. Only weird thing is they seem to throw every ingredient they can think of in each dish.. sometimes less is more.
Read morePros: almost everything can be vegan
Cons: a bit expensive for portion size, sometimes less is more..

I Love Love Love this place! - Edit
Nourish is an absolute must for anybody! Omnis too. I have too many favourites to count... but try the lasagna, or the burrito, or the curry, just try it all! Fantastic beer selection too. 10 out of 10!

Not really special but okay - Edit
The first restaurant we visited during our trip in Canada, but not the best. Service was not all that friendly, lots of things from the menu were not available and for the amount and quality of the food the pricing is high. Food is okay, nothing fancy in our opinion.
Read morePros: It is a vegan vegetarian restaurant... That's nice
Cons: Little messy... Not very friendly

Good options - Edit
Everything was a bit spicy and tasted similar. We got the sunflower veggies and the lettuce wraps which tasted similar. The Mac and squeeze and the King Kong gnocchi also tasted similar. I think they use a similar spice in them all. Everything was good, but had a bit of a kick to it. It’s a good option for vegans and vegetarians, but nothing amazing

Good food. Horrible service - Edit
We got Nourish Bistro a few times whilst here in Banff - generally take away. The food was pretty consistent in quality and was delicious. We had the King Kong Noodles, the Nourish Bowl, the Socco Pizza, The Falafel wrap, and the chilli chai iced choc and raw choc chai cheesecake. The customer service was usually terrible though. Meals were not served at the same time - my mother finished her meal before we got ours, long wait even though only one other table inside the restaurant, and apparently even though I only ordered a takeaway cheesecake, I had to wait for those who ordered inside the restaurant to get their orders first 🤷🏻♀️ We were charged incorrectly - items we didn’t order were added to the order... We were told by one staff member that we could order a child size serving of the Mac and Squeeze but when we asked our server how much it was he said “I don’t know” and that he would find out when we had to pay at the end?? It seemed he couldn’t be bothered checking beforehand. Usually customers like to know what they’re up for first?? Be prepared for long waits... My husband didn’t want to go back but the great food kept me coming back. Oh but we did get a vegan lasagna - didn’t look like a lasagna at all - no structure to it. Just looked like a rice curry mix with mex spices. With hard uncooked vegetables through it - apparently its suppose to come like that?? There is no way it could have come within the definition of lasagna at all. Chilli Chai Choc is a must have though :)
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options , Healthy vegan, The CHILLI CHAI ICED CHOC - so yummy!!!

Good vegan and vegetarian food - Edit
This is the best place to get vegan and vegetarian food in Banff. I have enjoyed most of what I have had there. They always have different feature meals so new things to try.
Read moreThey have put an auto gratuity on there when there was only 3 of us which is unusual.
Otherwise a nice spot to go.
Pros: very vegan friendly and heaps of live music.
Cons: service isn't great and meals are overpriced.

Absolutely Incredible - Edit
Everything on the menu is vegetarian, and almost anything can be made vegan. We got the Vegan "Mac and Squeeze" and a beet-based burger and it was all delicious! Even got some vegan desserts to-go. The cheesecake and truffles are beyond tasty. Service was great and we chose to eat outside because the weather was nice. I highly recommend eating here if you are ever in Banff.
Read morePros: Many vegan options (including desserts)
