Food Scene Banff
If you want to try bison, elk ostrich or alligator meat then this is the place to go. It is a little more on the pricy side but you can opt for the set menu with cheese fondu selection of meat you cook on hot rocks and chocolate fondue.
If you feel like exotic meat like elk or alligator, cheese or chocolate fondue then this is the place.

Banff is a cute little town. Lots of shops selling outdoor gear and souvenirs. Loads of restaurants to choose from. There is walking along the river in Banff that is nice. If you go over the bridge and turn left the road will take you up to the natural hot spring pool which are nice and the Historic Fairmont hotel which is reminiscent of a Bavarian castle.
A little lest touristy than Banff Canmore has lots to offer. The main street is worth a stroll and you can walk along river which is very scenic. For those more adventurous the Canmore Nordic center has biking trails, cross country ski trails and hiking.

The village of lake Louise is much smaller than Banff or Canmore. People visit to see Morraine Lake and lake Louise. It gets very busy in the summer and there is limited parking so I would try and visit earlier in the day. I usually eat in Banff because there are more options but for a quick bit I get something from Lagens in the village and eat it at the picnic tables behind the village. If you do the tea house hike at Laje Louise you can get a snack at the tea house (cash only). Fit a decadent meal visit the Chateau lake Louise hotel.
