I've been to Nourish three times, each were excellent experiences. The first time was by luck, having tried countless spots beforehand for a table, busy night in Banff. The next two were deliberate, having enjoyed the food and having a daughter with diet restrictions. This review is really about the 3rd visit that we pretty much drove an hour specifically for lunch at Nourish. Seems excessive but if you are vegan or have dietary restrictions it offers a unique dining experience.
As with all the visits, food and service was excellent. The staff is very friendly and you get the feeling your all part of some sort of vegan sorority (says the male carnivore).
On this particular visit, all the food was excellent. The Mac'n'Squeeze is one of the best pastas I've ever had, vegan or otherwise. I do find the prices high but I appreciate that delivering this quality of vegan, gluten-free, or vegetarian food isn't cheap. World Famous Nachos are beautiful, delicious, and shareable, but by the time you add a couple of sides you'll be over $30. Overall we spent almost as much for lunch as we'd normally spend for a decent dinner, however it is a unique experience so it's a judgement call, especially for those with dietary restrictions, whether the prices are worth it.
We visited on one of the coldest days of the year and since the place just opened, it was freezing inside and a lot of the food and drinks were coming to the table cold. Also, we felt seating was a bit tight for the COVID situation. These may not be long term concerns, but enough to warrant a rating of four, even though the food is definitely a five.
Definitely will be back to try more of the menu, maybe post-COVID (if that's even a thing!) and on a warmer day.
