“Brazen pays homage to the original lounge and restaurant in the Mount Royal Hotel – The Alberta Bar,” said Scott Hergott, Executive Chef of the Banff Jasper Collection by Pursuit, in a press release.
“In its day, The Alberta Bar was the center of activity and a place where all gathered to share a meal and share their stories.
“Today we reimagine this classic Banff space, bringing it back to life in a contemporary way with an adventurous Albertan spirit,” he added.

The changing menu here is inspired by the seasons, showcasing traditional dishes with a modern and local twist.
Some of the dishes we can’t wait to try are the sherry creamed Fox Farms mushrooms on toast, braised elk and cabbage, a charred acorn squash served with smoked Mussels, hangar steak with a potato fondant on the side, and truffle mac and cheese, to highlight just a few.
The cocktail menu celebrates Banff’s history using local spirits and house-made syrups.
“Brazen honours our history, while looking to the future – setting the stage for past stories to be told and new memories to be made,” said Stuart Back, Chief Operating Officer for the Banff Jasper Collection by Pursuit, in a press release.
“From dining 7,500 feet on top of the Banff Gondola with our Sky Bistro and Northern Lights Alpine Kitchen to downtown Banff’s Farm & Fire, Brazenwill add another signature culinary experience to Pursuit’s exceptional dining portfolio,” Back added.
