Silver Dragon
Almost 20 years ago, part of the family that own and operate the venerable and well-regarded Silver Dragon in Calgary’s Chinatown moved to Banff to open a restaurant in the mountains. Their Hong Kong trained chefs are experts at preparing Cantonese and Peking cuisine, authentic dishes and specialties (like ginger beef) that appeal to western palettes. The decor of the Banff restaurant features black and berry colour accents, skylight, great Rundle Mountain view, and a crab and lobster tank. Groups are accommodated at large, round tables, and take-out and delivery are available.
