The Balkan is easily my favourite restaurant and is by far The best place to dine in banff. The food is absolutely amazing and the staff are second to none. I highly suggest dining during Greek night which is every Tuesday at 8:30pm, the Balkan hosts a belly dancer to get diners in the mood then continues with Zorba the Greek Dancers which consist of some diners dancing through the restaurant and smashing plates. Keep in mind that this is not a budget restaurant, you'll pay a pretty penny for your meal but it's worth every red cent.
We were greeted promptly in this busy, fast pace restaurant, our reservation was ready and we were seated at a lovely table. Our waiter was astounding, so passionate about Greek food, full of suggestions right away, we had the appetizer platter(so yummy) and the lamb dish that the restaurant specializes in.... seriously the best thing I've ever eatten. The food came quickly, the drinks were lovely and the water was never empty. You will not be disappointed if you eat here.
My fiancé and I were there tonight for dinner and all I have to say is WOW!!! I had the Lagos Stifado, my fiancé had the salmon. This place did not disappoint at all. The ambiance was very nice, the service was great and the food was beyond amazing. I highly recommend this place. 10/10.
P.s. I've been a cook for quite some time now and I've cooked in a Greek restaurant, this chef nailed the homemade recipes that the owner(s) provided for the Greek dishes.
