We love Block! I've been here 3 times now, and the food is always SO good. This time, I loved the Thai mushroom risotto so different and delicious, lettuce wraps spicy!, and the Korean fried chicken. We got a cozy table by the window, and it's such a warm ambiance here. There isn't a lot of seating, so it keeps the experience intimate and enjoyable. I'd highly recommend stopping here on your next Banff trip! Plus, they have fun cocktails!
We thought we filled up on the appetizers couldn't stop eating them! but we managed to order some larger plates after that and still finish them! Most of the items on the menu are for sharing and the portion sizes work perfectly for that, but you won't always want to share them : you won't want to share the drinks either! The house rendition of the Caesar was a delicious complement to the meal itself. The staff was also very friendly and helpful when we had questions or requested recommendations.
Super cool vibe. This small yet mighty place is great for intimate experiences and I guarantee you won’t leave without making a new friend or two. The highlight of this place by far is the drinks, they are sophisticated and a fair price. The food was good but a bit over priced, yet still tasty. Our bartender Reese was friendly and courteous. Highly recommend this place but be ready to spend money.
Such a cool little restaurant in the heart of banff. Would highly recommend it. It’s Asian fusion flavors . Everything from the hostess to our server Kaz was awesome. We loved the two dishes we ordered. Loved the risotto especially.. It was so flavorful. They have gluten free options and also clearly marked on the menu, which is always so helpful. We did have to wait like 40 minutes for a table as they are a small restaurant. If you can try and make reservations.
Block was on our list to "to try in Banff" from several places, and it didn't disappoint. The staff was super friendly and gave us some insider tips and tricks to seeing Banff and the surrounding area. We started with the lettuce wraps and the sauces that went with them were my favorite part. Our server recommended the Karaage chicken skewers, so we tried those and they may have been the best part of the whole meal. They were so good! For my meal, I got a chicken sandwich chicken was SO good but there was too much bread and fries SO good as well. A little gem of a place. Highly recommend!
Hands down the best food in Banff. Cocktails amazing! The bao was excellent but the biggest surprise of the night was the mushroom risotto. I was blown away with it's taste and the chilli oil added a superb kick to the risotto. It's a small place so getting a table might have some wait time but it's definitely worth it. A restaurant I'll keep going to in Banff Vegetarian options: Decent options for vegetarians. The tofu bao and the risotto are standout options. More vegetarian options can be added to the menu but I'm sure the staff there can help substitute meat with tofu in a lot of the dishes.
Restaurant is busy, staff are friendly. Food tastes OK overall. - pulled duck poutine: meat is tender and flavorful, though the sauce is a bit too salty. - katsu curry bowl: bread coated deep fried pork cutlet with curry sauce, on top of rice. The rice is a bit soft and sticky.
I’ve attempted going to this place for dinner about twice and it had about 30-40min waiting list for indoor seating. However for patio seating on a chilly day? We got to sit immediately! If you follow this strategy make sure you wear warm clothes. I’d say after trying the food and service it was well worth it. We ordered the Asian lettuce wraps, one with pulled duck and the other with pork belly. They arrived with a spicy sauce, a peanut sauce, lettuce, kimchi, and the chosen meat. Crafting your lettuce wrap was simple and delicious. We also tried the karaage and it was very crisp, but it def needed some sauce which it thankfully came with. Also don’t be shy to ask for a straw if you order a cocktail! Overall my favorite place to eat in Banff and I’m glad we gave it a try.
Tapas style food to share. The food was good with lots of variety for choices. The portions were small, but adequate. Service was good and friendly. Good was served as they were ready.
Had a great time here and loved all the food we ordered! It’s easy to miss this spot if you don’t know about it, and I will be recommending this place to anyone heading to Banff. The highlight for me was Korean BBQ Saikoro Steak; it was soo tender and juicy. My mouth is watering just thinking about it and I’d come back just for that alone! As for drinks, I had a passionfruit mojito - slightly disappointed as it wasn’t minty or limey to me at all and was really just like a passionfruit soda. Tasty, nonetheless! I’d like to try their beet cocktail next time.
