Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Danny Beaulieu

From the OpenTable editors: Chef Danny Beaulieu crafts pretty, flavor-packed plates using Canadian ingredients at this inviting restaurant. Leave the work of choosing to the kitchen and go for the six-course tasting menu or order a la carte dishes like sablefish with dill vinaigrette. Wines by the glass rotate with the seasons, while the cocktail and spirit menus focus on Canadian producers.

    Outstanding experience! We had a very memorable experience here, we chose the chefs tasting menu. Everything was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Our server/hostess was so fun and knowledgeable and enhanced our experience! Amuse bouche - flavour bomb of duck on a tiny doughnut Salmon - very light with pickled fennel….very nordic very tasty, forgot the picture! Veal tartare - I love beef tartare and this was a delicate and light version with a to die for cheese foam. Foie gras - I could eat this all day, just go try it. Pork and scallop - best porkbelly I’ve ever had, scallop cooked perfectly! Duck - omg, star of the show! Beautiful beet accompaniments, breast cooked perfectly, confit so tender! Coffee and apple dessert - we chose one of each to enjoy. Both were light and the apple comes with a tiny scoop of butterscotch ice cream which was amazing! Everything was so expertly prepared, perfectly paced and absolutely divine, we can’t wait to come back! Cheers to the team at Ankor🥂

    I'm trying to decide on one superlative to describe our experience at Ankor, but it has proved difficult. From the moment we entered Ankor, there was a feeling of genuine welcome into a beautifully designed restaurant. We chose to try the six course tasting menu at the suggestion of our server, five savoury dishes and one sweet, with drink pairings expertly offered. The food was sublime, the service friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, we were served the gorgeously crafted and expertly prepared food that was truly innovative and delicious. The portions and pacing of dishes were thoughtful and well paced. This restaurant is about passion, innovation and providing guests with an experience to remember, in the most welcoming setting. Bravo Chef Daniel Beaulieu, Sommelier Julie Helie and the team at Ankor. This jewel of a restaurant nestled in Canmore is an absolute must. We cannot wait to return.
