Eagle's Eye Restaurant

The views are SPECTACULAR and a must see! The staff who we spoke with for gondola tickets were incredibly helpful and called up to the restaurant to let them know we were on our way up. The gondola ride was beautiful. We were pleasantly welcomed the moment we walked in and the service was wonderful. We had a beverage and a meal, took many photos, and really enjoyed the experience. The only reason for 4 stars on the food was because the Elk Burger on special arrived undercooked.

We decided to visit the Eagle Eye restaurant, where we were pleasantly surprised to find that we could get a table without any prior reservation. If you choose to dine without booking ahead, the menu is limited to beverages, but we were eager to enjoy something warm. The hot chocolate was absolutely delightful, rich and creamy, a perfect indulgence to warm us up. The atmosphere at Canada’s highest restaurant was vibrant, with stunning views that added to our experience. We truly had a wonderful time soaking in the sights and savouring our drinks, making it an unforgettable outing in such a unique setting. Overall, our visit was a charming and memorable adventure.

Came here for dinner. They provide lap blankets on the gondola which was nice on the way up but a must have on the way down. The food was awesome and excellent for the price. PEI mussels, sablefish, lamb shank, beef cheeks, and the basque cheesecake were all so so good. Service was excellent as well. Good atmosphere but if you’re looking for views, better to come for lunch. It was a fancy dinner but the prices weren’t too bad and honestly, we paid similar for lower quality food elsewhere in the area.

Not much more to say than if you cannot appreciate this restaurant, you do not like tasty food, gorgeous views and excellent atmosphere. Mountains all around, friendly staff and fantastic pork dumplings. Perfectly cooked to a golden brown appearance and crunchy coating. The soy sauce dip was salty and a great compliment to the main course. I would prefer a straight up dill pickle as a side rather than the pickled cucumber that is provided, but this point is moot when considering the rest of my experience. Mountain life rules.

Food was A+ Views were astonishing Service was fast and the servers were super fun and helpful. They volunteered to take pictures and catered to our specials “vegetarian” asks!!

Nice dining experience with decent variety to the menu. The shakshuka was hearty and thick, although I didn’t notice the goat cheese. The burger was tender even though it was brown all the way through. Excellent French fries. Decent drink selection…the summer cocktail specials were my favorite. Great service, beautiful outdoor back patio views, and a family friendly restroom.

Came for a nice dinner on the slopes. Food was great and was extremely tasty. Nice upscale atmosphere as well.

Great view, worst pastrami sandwich ever. Might want to stick the the Ceasar, great bar! Celery is good for you.

Service is great. I love the rustic atmosphere and view of mountains the food is extraordinary definitely recommend coming here. My only complaint is that they where out of the beef tartar

Breath taking views that component your meal. Nothing fancy to eat but what they have is prepared very well. My wife and I had fish and chips. And then we finished it all off with a yummy Baileys and Coffee. Which by the way is perfect when viewing the mountain peaks. My daughter enjoyed her burger with a bowl of potato vegetable soup. Word to those who are visiting. Bring your sunglasses. You will need them. Dress warm and bring a camera. Don't forget to see the grizzly bear Boo!

A gorgeous mountain top restaurant that is both homey and classy. The view is spectacular. The top of the mountain is pretty cold, so the restaurant is a great place to warm yourself up. We come from Toronto, all the fancy restaurants are expensive so we expected a big bill at Eagle's eye. However, the food is priced very reasonably. I can confidently say that all middle class people can afford a meal here. Although you do need to spend $30 on the gondola to go up. The food is decent (above average but not top-tier). The food served at this restaurant is typically light and delicate, not too creamy or too greasy. But the options are rather boring, it takes more than sandwiches and burgers to be a well reputed restaurant. Lastly, I need to restate again: the view is AMAZING!

Well, you will have the breathtaking view of a beautiful mountain and that alone justify 5 stars but their Bloody Mary is also amazing and the food was also good so, if you happen to be skiing there, just skip the bad food and try this amazing place

What a view! Beautiful restaurant. Great meal/service - we split the pulled pork poutine - huge serving, could share with 3 people. Definitely recommend. Awesome atmosphere.

This place is good but is it 5/5 good? No way. I am giving a 4/5 to be nice but honestly its more of a 3.5/5. The views, decor and service are great. You have a beautiful view of the mountains in a lovely restaurant. I can see why people have weddings here. It is truly beautiful and unique. The food is kind of where this place falls flat for me. Honestly for the price and the hype its just average food in my opinion. Could it be because I was there for lunch? The best thing I tried was the vegetarian wrap. My gf had the grilled chicken ciabatta and it was only OK. Nothing to write home about. Nothing really stood out to me as amazing. They say they have Starbucks coffee or something? But idk it wasn't good coffee (not that Sbucks is the best or anything). I would come here again maybe to try the dinner menu and re-review it at another time.

Pretty cool place at the top of the gondola; really nice for a midday ski lunch. It has a rustic feel to it, with high ceilings, wooden beams and furniture, a large fireplace on one side, and a beautiful view. They had just changed the menus that day and everything looked good. It's a small menu but quite refined (like smoked duck with homemade pasta in cream sauce, and elk bourgignon). They also have several gourmet burgers (wagyu beef!) that come with a healthy sized and loaded house salad, and thick wedge fries. Both can be switched out for other options like truffled or yam fries, Ceasar salad, or a poutine (for an additional fee, of course). We ended up ordering the beefed up house salad (I think it was called Summit Salad?), a boar confit poutine, and elk bourgignon. Everything was delicious! The salad was amazing. You have to understand that I am not a salad person. I generally find them boring. But this one was a beautiful mess of mesclun greens, shredded carrots, cherry tomatoes, sliced radishes, creamy blobs of mild goat cheese (again, something I haven't learned to appreciate yet), dried cranberries, cashews, all tossed in a sweet but tangy dressing. I liked it so much that I wrote down the list of ingredients to try and recreate it at home :) Oh this was a huge salad - definitely could have been a meal for one. The boar confit poutine was a pleasant surprise. Too often, ski hill poutines have mushy fries, drenched in gravy that's obviously reconstituted from a powder, and sometimes, (the worst of all), shredded cheese. This poutine had an ample amount of thick cut fries, lots of fresh cheese curds, a big pile of shredded boar confit, and just the right amount of a light peppercorn gravy. Swoon. It's listed as an appetizer but it's definitely a meal-size. The elk bourgignon was unlike any other bourgignon I've had before, but in a good way! The elk was cut up into really small pieces, and wasn't game-y at all, but retained a nice meaty flavour. The bourgignon also seemed to be tomato-based, and had a small celery dice in it - I think a mirepoix was used. And it was super saucy as opposed to thick and clinging to the egg noodles. But oh! That sauce! Lovingly prepared and really brought every component together. I ended up asking for a spoon so I could drink it :) I found the serving size to be on the small size, especially given the size of the poutine, but it was sufficient for us since we shared everything. They made a really good espresso and café au lait! Strong and tasty, and they are served with a rock sugar swizzle stick for sweetness. Service was really good. We ate early that day, around noon, and it wasn't too busy, but it really started packing in closer to 1pm. Even though they only start serving food at 11, it is open from when the gondola starts running, in case you need to go to the bathroom once you get to the top. I really liked this place though it is definitely on the pricier side (that was an expensive salad and poutine, let me tell ya). However, I think it's a great place to go as a treat, and to get away from the traditional greasy ski hill food.

Very good service and atmosphere. Of course, amazing views that can't be beat. However, this is not a 5 star restaurant as advertised. The food is pre-made and brought in. I asked about an allergen in dessert, and the server told us it's all pre-packaged so they couldn't guarantee ingredients. To be fair, maybe the meals are made there and only dessert pre-made? Also the fries, which are clearly store-bought. Great place, I'd probably go back, just not 5 star food as advertised.

Was here for a wedding! It is a beautiful spot with an amazing view. The 4 course we had was amazing, although the desert wasn't the same for everyone size and portion wise. Beef tenderloin amazing though and Cooked to perfection! I would eat here again for sure! It was an amazing wedding!

The views here are amazing, it's true! Windows on three sides, and a huge stone fireplace make this one of the most scenic places I have ever dined in. The food is a little bit fancy, and honestly one of the best meals I had on a week long vacation. I ordered the soup and sandwich special of the day, and to my surprise the sandwich was an open faced flat bread loaded with fabulous ingredients like arugula, nuts, dried cranberries and goat cheese. The tomato soup was savory, hot and thick, and perfect after a few hours of hiking around the mountain. I was stuffed after finishing my meal, and very pleased with the unique and well prepared food I was served. I did find the service a little bit slow (we were hungry!) but that didn't stop me from enjoying the meal.

I eat here everytime I'm at kicking horse mountain. The view is out of this world no matter where you are sitting! The service is always fantastic. Sometimes the food can take a long time to come out but it's always worth the wait. At lunch time they have a new soup and sandwich special everyday and that's my favourite thing to order. Dinner is super romantic with a great wine selection, atmosphere and gondola ride!

Was on a ski vacation for 9 days of skiing in the area....spent 5 days at kicking horse and ate 4/5 lunches and a dinner reservation the last night....its that good. The view is killer and you could spend hours walking around up top enjoying the views....which are of course, nothing but spectacular. The experience is fun, going in classier clothing then ski gear up the gondola to our resto in the middle of the night was fun! The food. Nothing disappointed, and interms of quality, hands down the best burger I have ever eaten so far.....cant find something that comes close to the quality of the beef patty..... For what its worth, way better then all other mountain top cafes/diners found at places like tremblant.....and pricing for a full proper meal is on par, for way better. Go here, not gonna regret it!!!!

If all you like is views this is the place for you. It's a shame. This place used to be amazing. Now it's literally overpriced day lodge food. The lunch menu is literally only a beef burger. Chicken burger. Soup and salad. McCain fries for $15. Burgers $35

Food is always great here. Everybody has always liked their dishes and service is great. Would eat here even when you can't get a good view and bad visibility. It's for a nice and relaxed lunch instead of fighting the crowds at base. They really need more options for food on this hill.

The Eagles eye restaurant on the top of kicking horse is a pretty amazing restaurant. When you get off the gondola at the top of the mountain, it is in the building right in front of you. The food here is far different than the pub style food available at the bottom of the mountain. I ordered a kale Caesar salad with scallops. The grated fresh Parmesan onto it along with 2 giant amazingly fresh scallops. The salad itself was $16 plus an additional $6 for the scallops and another $6 for a draft Kokanee gold. Some of the people in my group thought it was a little expensive, and while I agree with them, I believe it's worth it. You are on top of a friggin mountain eating really good food, of course it costs more! The service was great and the views even better. I can't wait to go back!

One of the best places I've ever eaten in a mountain resort - everything was so tasty! More like a restaurant than a usual mountain eatery. Bit more expensive though but so much better food! The views are also gorgeous especially you sit just next to the window. This restaurant definitely deserves more reviews.

This review is coming way too late!! My now fiancé and I got engaged in September at Kicking Horse and the staff at Eagles eye went above and beyond to make it the absolute most special day. The wait staff, hostess all amazing, the head chef even brought out complimentary dessert to say congrats. There are not enough thank you's that could cover the way you guys made us feel. You guys are a great restaurant with a big heart. Thank you from Jodie and Matt!!!!!

Amazing view!! We went there for lunch; but that day the restaurant was closing early because they had a wedding; so we could only enjoy the view and had a few drinks!! The wine was very good and the view priceless... I definitely would go back there and hopefully I can have dinner or lunch to evaluate their food quality ..

Great view as expected. It's on top of the mountain ok. Too overpriced, from gondola ride to food and drinks. Wouldn't recommend to a friend.

Portions are small. The staff are great. There are limited dairy or wheat free options. Soups come in a wide bowl that cool the soup too quickly. Appetizers are limited. Awesome view and place to have a drink!

The views from this lovely clubhouse unfortunately do not make up for their abysmal service. We had a reservation for a wedding party lunch and from our arrival were made to feel like an utter inconvenience. The ?main hostess who had conveniently forgotten her nametag insisted that we sit at one end of our table just in case the remainder of our party were late and they needed to remove the table to accommodate other diners. She also instructed us that the fireplace was solely decorative and that it could not be illuminated. Miraculously it seemed to both light and provide much needed heat some 40 minutes later. Our sparkling wine was neither chilled nor tasted, and was found to be corked - a lovely treat. Although the food was fine and the view was lovely, I would be hard pressed to recommend or return as the service at the gas station at the bottom of the mountain was infinitely superior.
