Christmas is waiting in Banff — dinner at The Fat Ox with a night at The Kenrick

This Christmas, trade the city lights for snow-dusted peaks and the comfort of a mountain escape at The Fat Ox. Nestled in the heart of Banff, our modern alpine Italian restaurant invites you to slow down, warm up, and savour the season in style.

Think flickering candlelight, a glass of Barolo in hand, and a table filled with rich, heartwarming dishes — handmade pastas, braised meats, and alpine-inspired flavours that feel like a hug in every bite. Pair it with an evening at The Kenrick for the ultimate holiday getaway.

Whether it’s a romantic dinner after a day on the slopes or a cozy gathering with friends, The Mountain Escape Christmas at The Fat Ox is your invitation to celebrate the season surrounded by good company, great wine, and Banff’s breathtaking beauty.
