About the restaurant

Chop was created for people who love sharing, connecting and everything steak. We are proud to offer a menu that shares our commitment to sustainable beef sourcing, serving high-quality cuts of 100% Canadian beef. It isn’t just the meat that’s special – it’s also how we cook it. Our Montague broiler cooks at up to 1800 °F, giving a beautiful crust and flavour to every steak! We slow roast our prime rib in a humidity-controlled oven, keeping it mouth-watering and tender. And we put this level of care into each of our hand-crafted drinks, and from-scratch dishes, including plant-based and seafood options, with something for everyone to enjoy. All of this quality comes with friendly hospitality in warm and energetic rooms. Open for happy hour, dinner and late-night!

We had a very nice dinning experience. We reserved for our Anniversary and I was surprised that the receptionist received us with Anniversary wishes, which mean that she read our reservation notes. We started with the Spanakopita, my wife had the souvlaki lamb, I had the lamb shank. For dessert we had the cheese cake and the baklava. Everything was tasty and delicious. The atmosphere was nice, not too noisy and our server Melissa was very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. She did an outstanding job, knowing her menu, the drink menu and gave us some advise during the meal. We got to break a plate in an area after the meal according to the Greek tradition. It was a great dinning experience all together and we highly recommend The Broken Plate to anyone who looks for an awesome dinning experience.

Our party of 4 chose the Selkirk Grille in part because of the easy-to-access parking and ice-free walkways, but also because of the excellent food and general atmosphere. Today it was relatively quiet, perfect for 3 hearing aid wearers! The Bison Harvest Bowl, Buffalo Burger and Pumpkin Cheesecake were very tasty

Amazing allergy awareness, beautiful ambience, fantastic and friendly service. The food was delicious, especially the steak. The allergy awareness made me feel very safe, and I don’t usually have an experience with my allergy that went as well as it did at the keg. I believe our waitresses name was Jamie and she did an excellent job with informing me about the safety of the food.

We come to Mr. Mikes a lot. This was my second time ordering the Cascadia salad. This time I could not even eat it, it was far too sweet. I don’t know if It was more of a “me” not wanting to point it out” because it was a side salad, or what? That is why it wasn’t mentioned. Everything else has always been very good here, service and food, and this will not stop us from continuing to be patrons, trust me. I just thought pointing it out would be good.

Really loved the food - the fondue is always a standout here honestly. I think the risotto could be cooked a tad bit better ? Nothing that wrong with it but definitely a different taste and vibe from other risottos from restaurants of similar calibre (maybe it’s cause there were no mussels tonight due to shipment holiday delays). We also came on a VERY slow night so it was very quiet, which made the ambience so much better. I would definitely come again (hopefully when they have mussels for the risotto).

Finally tried Mina's breakfast last 3weeks ago. Been seeing the sign outside my building for months. The experience was really great. Food tasted good, the cheese bread, as always, is my favorite. I enjoyed the sweet tapioca (banana and dulce de leche). There are also more options from the buffet bar. I love that my coffee cup is always full. It was a small espresso cup and let me tell you it never went below half cup. The service was impeccable. Julia (?) Is very friendly, appears when you need her too. She makes sure everything is good without being intrusive. At that time there were only 3 groups of customers. Ambience was great. Good for a slow Sunday morning to enjoy a hearty belreakfast. Got a neighborhood discount too because I live in the same building. Alreadybplanning to bring my sister and nephews for breakfast next time when they visit yyc.

This is our second visit to La Terrazza Restaurant. It was very good, just as last time. Ibon Quinoy was our waiter, he was amazing. He is one of the best waiters my wife and I have had anywhere. He was conversational, answered any questions we had about the menu. I had the Italian Short Rib and my wife had the Beet & Parsnip Soup. The food was "soooo good". We first started with the winter salad. We had the winter salad last time at la Terrazza and it was so good, we had to have it again. La Terrazza will always be on our list of restaurants to eat at in Banff.

This is the best restaurant that I have ever dined in. Beef tenderloin was the best dish I have ever tasted; everything about it was amazing. Even though it says 4 course meals together it was about 9, so keep that in mind if you’re ordering the 7 course one. They even gave a pumpkin cake to enjoy for the next day. Service was also best of the best. Even though Canada doesn’t follow the Michelin guide this is probably a 2-star Michelin restaurant if you’re looking for a comparison. Please do me a favour and come to Eden!!!
