New menu definitely worth trying! - Edit
The new menu at the Juniper Bistro is has plenty of vegan/vegetarian options, based around sharing in a 'family' style. The brussel sprouts, tomato sourdough salad and squash ravioli are my favourites.
Read moreSome of the vegetarian dishes can be made vegan, the glazed carrots for example can be made with maple instead of smoked honey.
The bar uses aquafaba instead of egg whites.

Best vegan meal (yet) in Canada - Edit
We have eaten in most vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. We didn't expect to find many options in Banff, a small resort town of just 8000 people. Before we tried it, Juniper Bistro wasn't listed on HappyCow, but we found it through our own research. This meal ranked as the best vegan meal we've had in Canada.
Read moreTheir vegan options are clearly labelled on the menu, as are options that can be made vegan on request. They also note gluten- and nut-free dishes. There is a strong focus on local and seasonal ingredients.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about veganism and dietary restrictions. The view of the mountains is phenomenal.
The food was innovative and delicious. We had an amazing appetizer of wild mushrooms with haskap berry, pinenut, truffle and housemade summer vegetable pickle. For mains, we had roasted acorn, butternut and summer squash with beluga lentil, charred corn, pumpkin seed and tomatillo mole and then beet gnocchi with walnuts, rainbow swiss chard and tomato confit. For dessert we ordered summer fresh soup with poached peach, tea infusion, mint and granita (one of the most creative, tasty desserts I've had) and an assortment of sorbets.
This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem of vegan fine dining in an unexpected place. Definitely worth a visit for a special meal if you're in Banff or the vicinity. HappyCow's 5-star rating system only allows 5 stars for fully vegan/vegetarian restaurants; otherwise I would have rated Juniper Bistro as 5-star.
