Get involved with Banff Pride at the Juniper Bistro with a welcoming atmosphere, exceptional food, and some of the best views in the Bow Valley.

Join us as we celebrate diversity, inclusion, and community through thoughtfully crafted seasonal events, features, warm hospitality, and a gathering space where everyone is invited to feel at home.

Canadian Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October and marks the harvest season, a time to gather with family and friends and reflect on the people, places, and experiences we’re grateful for. While it shares similarities with American Thanksgiving, the Canadian tradition is rooted in the changing seasons and the abundance of autumn, often centred around a meal featuring turkey, seasonal vegetables, and comforting fall flavours.

Gather with family and friends for Canadian Thanksgiving at the Juniper Bistro, where Chef Sergio’s seasonal menu celebrates the flavours of the harvest season. Surrounded by views of Banff National Park, enjoy a thoughtfully prepared feast featuring comforting favourites, regionally inspired ingredients, and the warm hospitality that makes holiday dining at the Juniper so memorable.

Taste for Adventure is Banff’s annual culinary festival, celebrating the region’s vibrant food and drink scene.

Each winter, participating restaurants create specially curated multi-course menus that showcase seasonal ingredients, local producers, and the creativity of their chefs, often paired with wines, craft beers, or cocktails.

It’s an opportunity to experience some of the destination’s best dining at exceptional value while discovering new flavours inspired by the Canadian Rockies.

The Hot Chocolate Trail is Banff’s annual treasure hunt for the best (and often the strangest) hot chocolate in town. The Juniper has its own decadent creation: the Wild Mountain Hot Chocolate (V+).

A rich, velvety hot chocolate made with small-batch bean to bar organic chocolate created in Canada, steamed oat milk, and topped with creamy coconut whip, a sprinkle of cocoa nibs, and of course more Wild Mountain chocolate. This plant-based indulgence is the perfect cosy treat to warm you up on a cold mountain day besides the Bistro Lounge fireplace.

Christmas in the Canadian Rockies feels like stepping into a winter postcard. Snow-covered peaks, frosted forests, twinkling lights, and crisp mountain air create a setting that captures the magic of the season. It’s a time for gathering, slowing down, and embracing traditions, whether that’s sharing a festive meal, exploring snowy trails, or simply enjoying the warmth of good company after a day outdoors.

At the Juniper, Christmas is celebrated with all the charm of a mountain retreat. Guests can enjoy a special festive menu from Chef Sergio, warm hospitality, and panoramic views of Banff National Park blanketed in snow. Celebrate the festive season at the Juniper Bistro with a special Christmas brunch experience for enjoying the warmth and traditions of the holidays.
