block kitchen and bar

best in banff. my favorite dining experience while in banff. interior is cozy, trendy and very comfortable. food is original, with menu items you will never find anywhere else, and beyond delicious. drink menu is diverse, with lots of refreshing options. and service is friendly and spot on. everything makes for a great dining experience, and i will be sure to stop by the block everytime i'm in banff.

great service, cosy little place. not touristy at all! very share-able food, and fun cocktails. go to there!

best meal out i've had in a while and for a great price. boyfriend and i split an order of duck spring rolls, lamb meatballs and split the lamb vindaloo entree. probably the best vindaloo to ever grace my palate. small, cozy resto - the kind where you end up chatting with your neighbours. andy's service was great. same with bearded aussie on the bar and the kitchen wizard in the back of house who whipped up a dairy free lava cake with caramel ice cream and raspberry ganache on the very strict dessert demand of "surprise us."

great atmosphere, fantastic food, beer and cocktails!!! one of our best meals out by far!!!

great restuarant. great food
great service
great atmosphere
10/10!
wish this restaurant was in my neighborhood.
just one thing, if you are looking to eat large amount of food i would not recommend this place.
their servings aren't for a full meal.
i really liked the twist they put on each menu.

small and modern place in banff. the food was really good. the service was great. the server made a special drink and it was awesome. had a really good experience here. i love this place.

by far my favourite restaurant in banff. delicious, hip, cozy, and reasonably priced. best for groups of two.

amazing food, not over priced. this restaurant is small in size but the food and cocktails were awesome! i will definitely be back!

delicious and unique. great food. super for sharing -- meant could try more than one dish. buffalo flatbread was absolutely delicious. my husband enjoyed the scallops and we shared the sticky pudding. lots of options for vegetarians and others.

we would definitely recommend this place to others. and we will be back.

great joint for a couple beers in a start up atmosphere. foods easy and good. really glad this place is in banff!

very pleasant and knowledgable server and friendly assistant chef. all items we selected were wonderful and unique. reasonable prices.

best place in banff!. found this little gem in banff while browsing urbanspoon, and it's exactly the place i was looking for! it's a small restaurant with a nice interior, and excellent food! everything i tried was so unique yet so delicious. i always end off the meal with the tiramisu creme brulee! i come here everytime i'm in banff!

i managed to secure a reservation for 8 pm and we sat at the wood and enjoyed some really good tapas together. so glad that we ended up securing a good spot since it was too cold to wander around looking for a restaurant that would accommodate us.  this was exactly what we felt like eating instead of a big entree.. sharing is the best! here is what we had... p.s. can't wait for a drink soon... christmas and new years was definitely the hardest part of being pregnant and not drinking thus far surprisingly: cocktail menu displayed on a "block" of wood it was a super tiny restaurant with a bar that could fit about six people and the capacity to fit around 20-25 people seated. meat and cheese board to start with a really great aged cheddar, creamy blue cheese, brie and a german cheese that was really flavorful. there were caramelized onions for the sweet component and in the far right an olive and sundried tomato tapanade with a selection of salami, prosciutto and a rilllete. there was a separate bowl of crostini that they even replenished for us. i loved the gorgeous presentation of this charcuterie board and that there were exactly two/four pieces of cheese or meat so there was no need to have a food fight.  we were on the fence about a few dishes to share a

although very small, this restaurant did not disappoint in service and quality of food. i had the pork belly lettuce wraps and my partner had the bison flatbread. we were both very satisfied with the flavor and presentation of our dishes. the price point for the quality of the food was very reasonable. we'll be back or sure.

my husband and i went to this restaurant only knowing that the reviews on urban spoon were pretty good. we had read about their bison burgers and how good they were. when we got there we were told it was on their lunch menu but not their dinner menu. but then our waiter said "no problem, we will do it for you". we are thankful because it was delicious. a delicious bison patty, not overcook, with a blueberry compote, grainy mustard, caramelized onions, brie and more on a ciabatta bun. the fries were great with just a touch of summac (spelling?). a good pint with it and that is all we needed! we loved it and will come back!
