El Toro Restaurant
Spanish, Mexican and Canadian menu options are all available at this stylish restaurant in the heart of the Banff Avenue hotel district where meals are made from scratch. The newly-renovated interior boasts ‘street lamp’ columns, and rich wood and leather furnishings. Popular dishes for sharing include tasty tapas and Chateaubriand, featuring the best cut of AAA Alberta beef. Regulars appreciate El Toro’s mid-week specials, and often dine on Sundays when 10% of sales are donated to Grace Centres, Ethiopia, an organization that funds programs to improve the lives of children.
