Eagle's Nest - Banff

I had a fantastic experience at a raw vegan cooking class and dinner with Megan and Ali, the owners of Raw Eatery and Market. It was absolutely wonderful!

I finally found a place to eat that offers healthy options! I visited this new restaurant this morning and ordered the scrambled spiced tofu on toast (the Bhurji) and it was absolutely delicious!

Raw Eatery is a hidden gem in Kensington with a fantastic vegan menu, with the nachos being a standout dish. It's a really cool spot to check out.

Service was exceptional :Jaimie, our server, was managing at least ten tables on his own and with grace and courtesy. He must have the patience of a Saint! We had the seafood risotto and the lamb. Both were cooked to perfection. The restaurant was quiet and peaceful compared to the family dining environment of Chimney Corner and despite that lack of serving staff, we had a relaxed dinner and enjoyed our evening.The piste groomers can be seen from the windows of the restaurant so ask for a table next to the window if you are interested in seeing them hard at work.

The restaurant only opens during evening. Although the view must be spectacular as the restaurant is located at the Sunshine Village ski resort, it is too dark to view it by then. We are having a company dinner and I have ordered Sear Scallop for appetizer and the Venison tenderloin for entrée. The scallops were done to perfection. There is nothing but compliments. On the other hand, the Venison was presented with 4 stages of "how do you want that done..." It come with 4 slices. The first was medium, eh..., I have ordered medium rare!? So, may be it were the edge, and the second slice was medium rare and it tasted good. However, the 3rd one was medium done, and the last one was more than well done. It is almost charboned. Overall, the dishes are quite good as I have asked around the table. The venison is just a disappointment, especially after the spectacular scallops.Service was excellent and the servers are attentive.
