Mountain Restaurant, Lake Louise, Alberta

At first glance, Mountain Restaurant looks like just another diner next to the highway, BUT looks deceive in this case. Okay, it is off the highway and next to an Esso gas station, but once inside the restaurant you are treated to a great view of the mountains. You forget that you are sitting so close to a mundane parking lot.

I guess Mountain Restaurant lives up to its name with this picturesque view.

We got here on a Saturday afternoon after driving back from the Columbia Icefields. It took a bit of time to get seated. After that we got asked only three times for our order by three different people, all of whom seemed to have an Australian accent.

The food came quickly and was good quality, and the atmosphere was nice. I especially liked the furniture, made from heavy wood and finished with a thick layer of varnish.

My conclusion is that if you’re in Lake Louise and want to have a nice but quick meal, then Mountain Restaurant will not disappoint. Just be aware that it could be pretty busy since there are few choices in Lake Louise.
