Brazen Restaurant and Lounge located inside Mount Royal Hotel is one of Banff’s newest restaurants with a focus on sharable plates, dinner classics with a modern-day twist and cocktails inspired by Banff’s bold characters and days gone by.
Brazen pays homage to the original lounge and restaurant in the Mount Royal Hotel – The Alberta Bar.
You’ll find a seasonally inspired menu that echo nostalgia with a modern local twist. Highlights of the current menu include Lamb Chops; Smoked Sticky Ribs; Chicken Pops; and more.
The cocktail menu is inspired by famous characters of Banff who frequented the original Alberta Bar featuring local spirits and house made cordials.
The design of the space is masculine and traditional, inspired by the history of classic hotel lounges.
