Table of Content
Finding the right breakfast in Canmore can be an important part of your morning, especially when you have a full day planned in the Canadian Rockies. Some people want a familiar breakfast with eggs and toast, while others prefer something different.
The Bankhead Restaurant & Lounge offers both choices at its Canmore location. The Canmore Breakfast & Lunch Menu has a Canadian Kitchen section with familiar breakfast dishes and an International Kitchen section with dishes influenced by different food traditions.
This gives diners several ways to start the day. You can choose a classic breakfast such as Steak and Eggs, try an Egg Benedict with your preferred topping, or choose something different such as Turkish Eggs, Shakshouka or Masala Omelette.
The menu also includes lighter choices such as Steel Cut Oats and a Kale Smoothie Bowl. This variety makes it easier to choose a breakfast that suits your appetite and plans for the day.
Canadian Breakfast Dishes to Try at The Bankhead
The Canadian Kitchen section includes several familiar breakfast choices. These dishes are useful options if you prefer traditional breakfast flavours while visiting Canmore.
Steak and Eggs
Steak and Eggs is one of the heartier choices on the menu. It includes a 6-ounce AAA sirloin, two eggs prepared your way, toast and a choice of crispy smashed potato or salad. The current menu lists it at $27.
This can be a suitable choice if you want a substantial breakfast rather than a lighter morning meal.
Egg Benedict
Egg Benedict gives you several options instead of limiting you to one topping. The dish includes two eggs, an English muffin and a choice of crispy smashed potato or salad.
Topping choices include back bacon, smoked beef brisket, smoked salmon, spinach, avocado and tomato, mushroom, regular bacon, and pulled pork with sriracha. Prices vary depending on the topping.
The variety makes Egg Benedict a practical option when people at the same table have different preferences.
Avocado Toast
For a different take on a familiar breakfast, the Avocado Toast comes with cream cheese, avocado, onion, fresh jalapenos, two poached eggs, sourdough and salad. Smoked salmon can also be added.
The combination of avocado, poached eggs and sourdough gives this dish a different profile from the heavier steak and potato choices.
Pancake, Waffle or French Toast
If you prefer a sweet breakfast, you can choose between a pancake, waffle or French toast option. The current Canmore menu lists this choice at $16.
It is a straightforward option for diners who want a familiar sweet breakfast while visiting Canmore.
Breakfast Poutine and Other Classic Choices
Breakfast Poutine is another Canadian Kitchen option on the menu. The Canmore breakfast selection also includes other familiar dishes, giving diners choices beyond steak, Benedict and sweet breakfast items.
For visitors travelling with different tastes, having several classic options on one menu can make choosing breakfast easier.
International Breakfast Dishes in Canmore
One feature of The Bankhead's Canmore breakfast menu is the International Kitchen section. These dishes bring flavours and cooking styles from different culinary traditions to the breakfast table.
Turkish Eggs
Turkish Eggs, also known as Cilbir, combine roasted garlic yogurt, chilli oil, sourdough and salad. The menu identifies the dish with Turkey.
It is an option for someone looking beyond the usual eggs and toast.
Shakshouka
Shakshouka is made with eggs poached in a stew of tomatoes, peppers and onions, with olive oil, cumin, paprika and cayenne. It is served with sourdough.
The Bankhead menu identifies the dish as originating in Ottoman North Africa.
The tomato-based preparation gives this breakfast a different flavour from traditional Canadian breakfast plates.
Masala Omelette
The Masala Omelette brings South Asian flavours to the breakfast menu. It includes onion, grated fresh coconut, ginger, green chilli and curry leaf. It is served with crispy smashed potatoes or salad, toast and cream cheese.
This is a useful choice for diners who enjoy savoury breakfast dishes with spices and fresh ingredients.
Aloo Paratha
Aloo Paratha is a savoury potato-stuffed flatbread served with yogurt and salad. The menu identifies it with India and lists it at $17.
For anyone familiar with South Asian breakfast food, this provides a familiar option. For other visitors, it offers a chance to try a different style of morning meal.
Congee
Congee is a Chinese-style rice porridge made with chicken stock, shredded chicken, sliced ginger, sesame oil and soy. A poached egg can be added for an additional charge.
This can be a good choice for someone who wants a warm, savoury breakfast rather than a traditional egg-and-toast plate.
Ful Mudammas with Halloumi Cheese
Ful Mudammas with Halloumi Cheese combines cooked fava beans with cumin, onion, tomato and olive. It is served with mini-pita bread and grilled halloumi cheese. The menu identifies the dish with Egypt and Cyprus.
It is another example of how the International Kitchen gives the Canmore breakfast menu a wider range of flavours.
Breakfast Options for Different Tastes
One reason to look at the full Canmore breakfast menu before visiting is the range of choices.
If you want a hearty breakfast, Steak and Eggs provides sirloin, eggs, toast and a choice of potato or salad. Breakfast Poutine is another option to consider.
If you prefer a sweet breakfast, the pancake, waffle or French toast selection offers a familiar choice.
For a lighter option, Steel Cut Oats are listed with chia seeds, raisins and honey. The menu marks them as vegetarian and gluten-free.
The Kale Smoothie Bowl is another lighter option. It contains banana, chia seeds, flax seeds and hemp seeds, and the menu marks it as gluten-free and vegan.
If you are looking for vegetarian or gluten-free choices, check the dietary labels on the current menu and confirm with your server if you have an allergy or strict dietary requirement. Restaurant preparation methods and ingredients can change.
What to Order Before a Day in Canmore
Your breakfast choice can depend on what you want from your morning.
If you have a busy day ahead and prefer a substantial meal, you may want to look at options such as Steak and Eggs or another filling breakfast.
If you want something lighter, Steel Cut Oats or the Kale Smoothie Bowl may be more suitable.
For visitors who want to try something they may not usually order at home, the International Kitchen offers choices such as Turkish Eggs, Shakshouka, Masala Omelette, Aloo Paratha and Congee.
There is no single breakfast that suits every visitor. The advantage of having different styles on one menu is that you can choose based on your own taste and appetite.
