Taste of France right in Canmore. And best coffee. Try the macaroons or one of their fresh baguette sandwiches!

514 Poutine
102 Boulder CrescentReal-deal Quebec poutines that will fill you to the gills!
This place is owned by a very affable Frenchman (Anthony) hailing from the Burgundy region of France and his lovely Quebecoise wife While there is the standard coffee shop fare he also offers other hot meal menu items and preps a special gourmet meal on weekends. Not to be missed. Plus it's the closest coffee you can buy. Liquorstore with the basics next door, same owners. The local ROAM bus stop is right outside the Market and will take you into Canmore where you can hop on the ROAM Canmore-Banff route into the Banff Townsite if you wanna brave the crowds...

Drinks & Nightlife
Weekends are happening with either/or live music and basement nightclub. Great day pub too and excellent sunny patio. And the karaoke Monday nights are a must to if you want to go all local.

While styled mostly as a restaurant I like the lounge as a good spot to enjoy a bottle of wine and take in some great views.

It doesn't get more local than this. You will be noticeable but welcomed. Cheap drinks if that's what you're after.

Parks & Nature
Great place to take the family - it's an old quarry pit turned into a lake so on a hot day it's a better bet than other glacier-fed options ;) View can't be beat.

Don't miss this if you want to get your hike on. You can walk from the Chalet right along the Bow River into Canmore town and join up with this trail.

A good hike for beginner-intermediate hikers. It's a good 45 minute drive from the Chalet and maybe an hour hike. Enjoy some serenity and great views at the lake.
