4.5 / 5.0(877 reviews)

The food was amazing, and Amy my server was super kind, friendly and helpful. She recommended me the best dishes. The steak was delicious and the prices are very fair for what you get. Definitely, I’ll be back in my next trip to Banff. Thank you so much for everything Amy. You’re a gem. we stayed at the hotel, and the restaurant was nothing short of excellent. the food was incredible, i had an english breakfast on the first morning and it was practically blissful to eat. on the second morning, i had a french toast which was perfect. but the highlight of our experience at brazen was Tom, our server. the sweetest gentleman ever, Tom gave us tips on what to see in Banff, and how to spot animals that we wanted to see. He paid an exceptional attention to detail and was always at our service when needed. Tom was and is an excellent server, and Brazen is an excellent restaurant. Ordered the mushroom tagliatelle, artic char and a side of cauliflower. The mains were excellent with well balanced flavours. The cauliflower could be a bit more roasted but still tasty! Highly recommend this place for great food! They know what they are doing!

Our recent dinner at Brazen in Banff was nothing short of exceptional. As parents of a son with severe allergies (peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, and modified milk ingredients), dining out is often a source of anxiety. Brazen turned that anxiety into pure joy. From the moment we mentioned his allergies, the staff was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. The menu clearly marks allergens, which is a fantastic starting point, but the team went far beyond that. They took our concerns seriously, double-checked everything with the kitchen, and were meticulous about cross-contamination. We felt confident and safe from the start. And the food? Absolutely spectacular. Every dish we ordered was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Most importantly, our son loved his meal so much he cleaned his plate—a rare and happy event! He was so thrilled that he insisted on gifting his own drawing to the chef as a thank you for making such amazing food he could safely eat. Thank you to the entire team at Brazen for your care, professionalism, and culinary talent. You provided more than just a meal; you gave us a wonderful, worry-free family memory. We cannot recommend you highly enough.

The service was stellar, but the food unfortunately missed the mark. The mushroom pasta was too salty, the Artic Char was a great temp but the accompanying salad was basically just a simple pico de gallo, and the roasted carrots were missing more sauce/honey. The ribs and the bread were delicious though! I would give it a try again but was sadly expecting more from the meal.
