can anyone suggest a great resturant in the Banff area.

buffalo mountain lodge and
there is an italian place on the main street - can't remember the name but starts with a "g"

There is every price range available--starting with McDonalds. There are numerous "fine dining" restaurants--if you go back through previous posts, I think there was discussion of restaurants around the end of summer, beginning of fall. What kind of restaurant do you have in mind?

If you are looking for a place with a casual atmosphere and good (very tasty) food, Southwestern style cuisine, and great coffee, Coyote Cafe and Grill on Caribou Ave is excellent. We have had lunch there numerous times on our travels through the mountains, and have never been disappointed.

St James' Gate was delicious

Ltt, are you perhaps referring to Guidos? If so, it's been a while since I ate there, but I enjoyed it when I did.
