Our 1950’s Tearoom Turned Modern Bistro
Originally opened in the 1950s as a tearoom, Cliffhouse Bistro has grown into a modern alpine spot with timeless charm. Perched at 7,000 feet and reached by the North American sightseeing chairlift, it offers one of the most breathtaking lunch settings in the Canadian Rockies. With only 50 seats and floor-to-ceiling views of Mt. Rundle, the space blends mid-century modern details with the cozy elegance of a European chalet. A longtime gathering place that once welcomed Marilyn Monroe during the filming of River of No Return, its restored interior now honours those roots while offering a fresh, contemporary dining experience.
Enjoy local beers, Canadian wines, and artisanal sodas crafted to elevate every moment.
Our menu is thoughtfully curated with Alberta inspired dishes with subtle urban influences, prepared fresh in house. It’s refined yet approachable, with a focus on quality ingredients and mountain forward flavours.
Ride to the Cliffhouse Bistro
The way to reach the Cliffhouse Bistro is by taking our scenic chairlift up the mountain. As you ride, soak in the breathtaking views that make this dining experience truly unique.
