Reviews for Block Kitchen + Bar in Banff, AB
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'talways want to share them (: you won't want to share the drinks either! The house rendition of the Caesar was a deliciouscomplement to the meal itself. The staff was also very friendly and helpful when we had questions or requested recommendations. Read more
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. Read more
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 40minutes for a table as they are a small restaurant. If you can try and make reservations. Read more
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 sayafter trying the food and service it was well worth it. We ordered the Asian lettuce wraps, one with pulled duck and the otherwith pork belly. They arrived with a spicy sauce, a peanut sauce, lettuce, kimchi, and the chosen meat. Crafting your lettucewrap was simple and delicious. We also tried the karaage and it was very crisp, but it def needed some sauce which it thankfullycame 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 gladwe gave it a try. Read more
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 isa bit soft and sticky. Read more
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 andjuicy. My mouth is watering just thinking about it and I?d come back just for that alone! As for drinks, I had a passionfruitmojito - 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. Read more
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 goodbut a bit over priced, yet still tasty. Our bartender Reese was friendly and courteous. Highly recommend this place but be readyto spend money. Read more
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 sogetting a table might have some wait time but it's definitely worth it. A restaurant I'll keep going to in Banff Read more
