Balkan the Greek Restaurant has a special Banff dining treat in store for our guests this year: Valentine's Day Greek Night.  Looking for something a little different for you and that signifigant other or a group of friends the Valentine's Day?  We can deliver.

This Tuesday February 14th The Balkan is featuring a live bellydancing show with Hala Jamal.  She's bee trained by some of the top bellydance master in the world in the art of bellydancing.  Sensual, exotic, amazing.  Then what better way to say I love you than with some plate smashing.  A fun evening out in Banff that you won't soon forget.

Corporate and Group Dinner Functions in Banff

The Balkan Restaurant has a long history of serving great dinners to corporate groups of all sizes.  With three seperate dining areas and a lounge we can easily and comfortably accomodate groups of up to 120 people.  Our menus feature a wide range of mediterranean and Greek classics as well as our hugely opoular Greek Feast dining experience.

We can help organize any special requests for your group.  We offer a full PA system, large tables, communal dining options and semi private areas.  It is our job to make your group experience as delicious and fun as possible.  For groups looking for something a little crazier we also offer live bellydancing and plate smashing shows.  A trip to Banff wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Balkan Restaurant!

Skiing in the Rockies and dining in Banff!

So we're well into ski season in the Canadian Rockies and let me tell you the snow is amazing.  With all three ski areas, Sunshine Village, Lake Louise and Norquay all boasting huge bases we continue to get the white fluffy stuff.  Midweek accomodations in Banff are extremly cheap for most of February.  If you can make the trip out it's well worth it.  Plus every Tuesday and Thursday night we have the only live dinner show at any Banff Restaurant! Greek night features the live bellydancing of Hala Jamal and Meysa plus Greek dancing and plate smashing.  A fun experience for the whole family.  Pop in for a huge plate of our famous roast lamb and a Mythos beer to refuel after a great day on the mountains.

We're also one of oldest family owned Restaurants in Banff. Stop in to see why!

Get ready, get set... SNOW DAYS!

Get Ready, Get Set, SnowDays!

It is always a 'snow day' in Banff National Park

January 14 - February 12, 2012

Banff National Park is the cool place to be this winter – in more ways than one! Celebrate the wonders of this exciting season with SnowDays, a fun-filled month of heart pumping, mid-week activities and weekend festivals jam-packed with adventures of all kinds.

Ninety-five years ago, Banff hosted its first Banff Winter Carnival, which saw enthusiastic participants hit the ice on the Bow River for some curling, and strap on their skis and snowshoes for fun in the snow. Nearly a century later, a full slate of festivals and activities bring those traditions to life: ice climbing, outdoor skating, hockey, ice carving, curling, snow sculptures, and more! 

Create your own snowy adventure by pairing a weekend festival with ongoing activities. The new Mountain Adventure Festival, January 14 & 15, gets you outdoors for a serious adrenaline rush.  This year’s Ice Magic Festival, January 20 - 29 is now two weekends for twice the magic! See the world’s best ice carvers and revel in the new ice playground. To top it all off February 11 & 12 introduces Banff’s first everTAKE IT TO THE STREET ball hockey tournament.

Do you love treasure hunts?  Then accept the SnowDays Heritage Geocache challenge!
