Banff Food Tour: Essen Sie das Schloss

My husband our adult son and his wife did this tour. We were right on time. It was pointed out to us that it needed to start on time, and we were; although, we are normally early. We decided to drive and park. Parking is not easy in Banff and we paid $60 to park in the hotel lot. This was our decision, but thought others should be aware. No validated parking. You can park in the street if you have time. We were brought to a cozy, well decorated room for our first tasting. Our guide told us that we were 11 and we were waiting on one person. It turned out it was 5 others. I don’t know whose mistake it was about the count, but I do know the family that arrived late were not apologetic, they caused a commotion. It was a little disruptive, but the guide and the hotel/restaurant staff handled it. It was relaxing and enjoyable after they were taken somewhere else for there first course. The food and drink were amazing. The 5 others were at the next location. Because the tour wasn’t prepared for 5 more, our family was seated at a table off from the group. That was not a problem, except that the guide stood with her back to our table when she told the history in that location and described the tasting. It did not seem right. I think the guide felt like she had to make it up to the new group or something. The tour of the hotel was very interesting. There was a very large table for the next two tastings, but at one of them one couple still had to sit outside the main room we were in. Then, we had a dessert course. We sat at a table for four away from the main group table, but the guide and her assistant and the hotel staff included us all equally. I do recommend this tour. You have 5 courses with an alcoholic or nonalcoholic drink for the first four and coffee or tea with dessert. It does include some interesting history and information about the hotel and the decor.

This is a must try ! It was out standing. The food was delicious the guide was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend

This food tour was absolutely amazing! The 5-course meal was nothing short of spectacular. Our guide Stacy and company owner Karen were both so full of knowledge and history regarding the Banff Fairmont Hotel, Canadian history and a myriad of other topics. Splitting up the 5-course meal over the span of 3 hours was perfect, as we moved different rooms and walked around the hotel, getting history lessons as we went. In terms of the actual food, on a scale from 1-10, I give it a 12. The food courses were each so exquisite, decadent and beyond delightful. The chef from each course would present the meal and matching drink/beverage, discussing what each course entailed and where the food originated. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. This was an experience we will always remember.
