ankor restaurant

Wow, where do I even begin. First of all, Ankor is definitely a Michelin star worthy restaurant. Chef Danny and his team are phenomenal. Everyone on the team has such a high attention to detail, you can feel it and see it. You have to experience this yourself. We had the tasting menu, and each dish was so flavourful and thoughtfully paired and plated. Their cocktails and wine selection are wonderful too! Highly recommend checking out this spot. You will rave about it too.

What an experience! We had an exceptional time at ankor and wanted to order almost their entire menu! Everything we got looked and tasted fantastic, clearly showcasing the kitchen's care, thought, and attention to detail. For what you get, including the friendly service, the price is very fair.

Their tasting menu is simply a curated selection off their regular menu. This is good but we had hoped it would be different, unique creations instead. That didn't take anything away from our visit though, just something to be aware of.

My husband and I did the 6 course tasting dinner with a wine pairing. It was an amazing experience and the food was awesome. The staff was super nice and accommodating. Being nit-picky: the scallop dish was too heavy on ginger, and the tenderloin was almost raw which made it too chewy. Some of the wines were spectacular but one didn’t have much going on. However, whomever does the pairings was very skillful. Overall, this was an amazing experience and cost around $420 Canadian dollars.

Delicious food in an unassuming atmosphere. The service is excellent as well. The dishes are detailed, skillfully crafted, and have amazing flavor. I love foie gras and it was a delightful treat here. The salmon was cooked to perfection. The dishes look small but my husband and I were very full at the end after 2 appetizers, 2 entrées, and a bread dish. We didn’t even have room for dessert and I always have room for dessert. Most would say it’s not worth the hour drive back and forth from Calgary but I think it’s one of the best restaurants in the Canmore/Banff area. We will definitely be back.

It was a great experience. The duck and seafood was really delicious but the squash was not very good. All the food was very delicate and pretty so I can tell the Chef put in a lot of effort. Would definitely recommend if you enjoy fine dining.
