Hiking all the way up here was definitely worth it. What made it better was that we had 11 people with us. The hike took us a solid 2 hours with small kids as well, but the food up here was definitely worth it. We ordered a couple chili's, nachos and chips, moose cakes, tea, and bread, and they were all very delicious. The experience was something you don't usually get at a height like this, with an amazing view as well. The staff were very kind as well. Just make sure to get up here before 5pm as the teahouse closes.
One of my favorite hikes to do around Lake Louise! Can't recommend it enough. If you make it to the tea house, I recommend you carry on to the Abbot Pass viewpoint for better views, which adds another 1.5 km one way, which means out & back trail is 14 kilometers long (estimate about 5 hrs in total). Also, be sure to carry some bear spray and/or bells if you plan to hike the trail early morning or late afternoon.
This place is amazing. Went there for the first time. It feels like well earned tea after about five kms hike. Staff is really nice. Most things are made in house. Food is delicious. Little pricey but worth it for the taste and location. It's better to carry some cash as there may be extra charge on card payments.
