Murietta's Bar & Grill
This elegant restaurant features vaulted ceilings, open kitchen, wall of wines, and Rundle Range and Canmore Main Street views. In summer the huge windows open wide, and in winter the fireplace glows warm. Try the inviting lounge with long bar for a martini or scotch (30+ choices); there’s a private dining room for functions. While Murrieta’s decor and food are pleasingly chic, the service reflects the best of Canmore small-town hospitality. The West Coast and Rocky Mountain inspired menu features satisfying portions of fresh and stylish (but never over-contrived) dishes. Watch for wine tastings and winemaker’s dinners in this restaurant.
