The Fat Ox Banff

Come enjoy the warm hospitality and inviting energy you’d expect from your nonna’s home, nestled under the picturesque majesty of the Rocky Mountains directly off Banff Ave. Simply walk through the door and you’re family.

At The Fat Ox, an exceptional dining experience blends welcoming service with sophisticated food crafted from local ingredients to create unique Italian dishes with an alpine twist. Every bite tells a story of culinary passion and brings the taste of the Italian Alps to the heart of the Canadian Rockies.

From the mind of Executive Chef Glen Manzer, our menu was thoughtfully crafted with a focus on bold flavours and seasonal ingredients. Invoking a sense of nostalgia for days of home cooked meals and loved ones gathered around the dinner table. Enjoy handmade pasta – just like nonna would make – paired with the best locally sourced meat and produce that Alberta has to offer.

Enjoy a glass of wine (or three!) après-ski, or a cocktail to warm you up.

There is no better place to create lasting memories than in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Let us inspire you to create new memories at Fat Ox – where exceptional food can spark exceptional conversation.

We’ll have a seat waiting for you.
