An excellent contemporary restaurant in the heart of central Banff. The small and large sharing plates were excellent, and the variety of different flavours and dishes was really impressive. I would highly recommend the fried chicken and the beef tartare, both were excellent!

Bibi was an amazing server and made our experience so great! She was so sweet and got everything exactly right. Not only was the service phenomenal, the food itself was to die for! It was so delicious, I had to stop myself from going for seconds! The espresso martini is the I’ve ever had! Would definitely recommend !!

We had our last evening in Banff and Canada in this lovely restaurant. The service of Cate was outstanding und absolutely perfect. We finished the evening with some delicious dishes and washed them down with really good cocktails. 5 overall.

I expected good but standard fare food since it’s such a big tourist town and usually food isn’t the best in them. BUT this was actually an exceptional meal and I was super impressed with the food. The smoked sirloin steak was actually nicely smokey tasting and the butter and chimichurri worked so well with it. The flavors were elevated and it wasn’t just a normal steak. The duck breast was also wonderful and tasted even better with the accompanying sauces. You can tell a lot of thought and innovation actually went into the food and I loved every bite! Service was also wonderful and very attentive.

We've had a delicious brunch at Brazen, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. I ordered the Grilled Cheese Benedict sandwich with extra smoked salmon, and it was absolutely fantastic — rich, and perfectly balanced. The portion was generous, and everything was beautifully plated. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff who made us feel welcome. Definitely recommend this place for brunch or dinner. We’ll be back for sure!

We had one of the best meals we’ve had in a while at Brazen. Started with the pork belly and beef tartare — both were great. For mains, we shared the Arctic Char and Ginger Beef, and added the polenta fries on the side (super fun dish). Everything was delicious. Honestly, there’s nothing we wouldn’t order again. Highly recommend.

Stopped in at Brazen in Banff for breakfast and was seriously impressed. The flavour twists on the menu were spot on—creative without being over the top. We had the Grilled Cheese Benny and Turkish Eggs, both absolutely delicious and definitely standouts. Service was impeccable and the food came out fast, which we really appreciated as we had to head back for meetings. The latte was top-notch, too. And of course, the view—what more can you say? Classic Banff: charming village vibes framed by stunning mountain scenery. Highly recommend and would definitely return. A perfect blend of great food, warm service, and unbeatable surroundings.
