St James Gate Old Irish Pub

We took a bus down from Jasper to Banff and we went to visit an old friend who works at the Old Irish Pub, and found out that the food was really good!!


I had the salmon with scalloped potatoes


Mum had the chicken with scalloped potatoes


Sis had her favourite fish and chips


Nice, quaint place to sit and catch up over good food and a few beers haha!

Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge - Cavell's Restaurant & Terrace

Reservations are highly recommended for this place, it is really popular! Even though the prices are a little steep, but the rich food and good service makes up for it :)

We were served delicious small cute buns with different flavours and a whole swab of garlic butter!


We ordered all three of their mocktails, in my personal opinion, the one in the centre is the best!! its something power berries i think, its really good :)


I ordered the lamb with the fettucine


Mum and sis ordered the roast chicken


Dessert 1 - some apple strudel thing. it was not bad, just that i would give it a pass next time, its just too filling.


Dessert 2 - White chocolate creme brulee with a biscuit spoon on top! now, this was good and refreshing :)

Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge - Room Service Part 2

Yes, once again we were lazy to venture out of our lodge (especially after a nice morning at the awesome spa) so we ordered room service!!

Wait... upside down glasses of water? amazing!! that was my first thought ... but it's just cling-wrap people hahaha


You can custom make your pizza - my mum is allergic to beef and my sis to mushrooms soooooo ... we ordered Ham & Onions with Extra Cheese *YUMZ YUMZ!!*


And some Honey Garlic Wings!! These two were more than enough for us, so the price came out to be real cheap! hee hee good for small eaters :)


I bought this chocolate bar from the souvenir shop - it is ABSOLUTELY delicious :)

Emerald Lounge - Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge

The next day, we had lunch at the Emerald Lounge located at the lobby of the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge.

The view from the lounge was FANTASTIC!! You can even go out to the patio to take an awesome photo like below:

And i tried a Alexander cocktail - i first heard of it from the manga Bartender :)


Sis ordered the Pulled Pork Burger with Fries


Mum ordered a Chicken Pita with Caesar Salad


My medium rare steak burger with fries


The food and drinks were good, everyone really liked their orders. Just that it is a little overpriced though!
