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.

The food is absolutely magical at Ankor. Enjoyed the chef’s tasting menu along with the nonalcoholic pairings. Service was top notch and Paisley was a doll as always.

Wonderful dinner that is well executed with fine service, helpful knowledgable staff that do not miss a beat. There are almost as many employees running the restaurant as there are guests while fully seated. The food is uniquely creative, thoughtful and bursting with flavours. The overall ambience is upbeat, snd cool while maintaining authenticity. It is a pricy meal and yes the portions are a bit small but make no mistake about, this is a very worth while experience for a much better than most places fancy meal. Order an extra dish and be at peace with the cost if food quantity is a concern. We will return.

If you are anywhere near Canmore or Banff I highly recommend ankor. The combination of flavours and textures are outstanding. This is the type of dining experience where I would expect at a 1 Michelin star restaurant (and ambitious enough to try to move up to 2) Atmosphere is tasteful and earthy; service is attentive without pretension.

Tired of spending your money on crappy food? We are constantly frustrated by the lack of quality food out there. It’s hard to find a restaurant that truly stands out. We visited Ankor tonight and immediately felt like it was money well spent. Super attentive service, servers who are clearly passionate and knowledgeable (a huge shout out to RYAN - he is truly one of a kind and will blow you away with his professionalism and enthusiasm for the food he serves and his job). The food is AMAZING and incredibly tasty. Thoughtfully presented and plated dishes, unique flavour combinations and presentation. Servings are not huge, so don’t expect US style plates. The focus here is quality not quantity. The vibe is energetic, vibrant and hip. Decor is on point, warm and inviting. We loved our time at Ankor and will be making this a regular stop on our next visit to Canmore.
