The Grizzly House
A Banff landmark since 1967, famous for its cheese fondue, hot stone tabletop grilling, and exotic meats, complete with working telephones at every table.
Located at 207 Banff Avenue and operating since 1967, this rustic, cabin-style venue features working telephones at every table to call other tables, making it a classic Banff landmark. The complete fondue set consists of four courses, including cheese fondue, hot stone or oil fondue grilling, and chocolate fondue. Meat options include beef, chicken, bison, venison, wild boar, and occasionally rattlesnake. Reviews are polarized: some call it the best experience of their trip, while some local media consider it pricey and touristy. It gets very busy during peak season, so phone reservations are highly recommended. Set menus are about CAD 55-68 per person, and over CAD 60-80 including drinks and taxes, located in the town center.
