Got a sweet tooth? If you want something prepared locally that’s also sweet to eat, then enjoy a Bear Tail. They are one of the country’s favorite sweet treats and you can get one in a shop smack dab in the center of town.
But just what is a Beaver Tail? We’re glad you asked! A Beaver Tail is essentially a piece of perfectly baked dough that is topped with a virtual cornucopia of candy and more!
Tasty toppings may include cinnamon, fresh fruit, M&Ms, Nutella, and more. You can choose from a number of pre-made determined combos or create your own yummy masterpiece! Beaver Tails aren’t actually unique to the town, but it’s still a Canadian favorite and a great way to reward yourself after a hard day of hiking in the park.
Banff is not only a great place for eats, but it’s also a great place for exceptional craft beer and local spirits. Unwind with a local adult beverage after your long day of adventure in the park. The previously mentioned Park Distillery offers homemade cocktails and even conducts tours of their distillery.
You can check out the town’s original brewery, the Banff Ave Brewing Co. There you will have your choice of several different entrees and bar snacks and, most importantly, several beers on tap. So sample some poutine, or warm pretzels, and experience this memorable brewery.
