Dining
Dining options in Lake Louise are limited and there is no restaurant on-site at Paradise Lodge and Bungalows.
In Guest Rooms: We do provide oatmeal and granola bars complementary in the coffee baskets of all rooms which we replenish daily. We also offer coffee, tea, and other granola bar type snacks every morning in the lobby, which you are welcome to bring back to your room. All the rooms have a small fridge, toaster, microwave, and coffeemaker. There is also a BBQ available for use on-sight. If you wish to use it, let the front office staff know and we will arrange to have it lit and ready for you. Please inquire with the front desk if you have any other questions regarding the amenities in your unit.
Groceries: If you are looking for something more substantial, there is a small grocery store / market in the village. It offers a small selection of the necessities. Please keep in mind that given Lake Louise’ remote location, groceries tend to be more expensive. We recommend stopping in Banff or Canmore if you are passing through as they have a better, more abundant selection of goods.
