Looking for the best Jasper restaurants to enjoy on a trip to the quaint mountain town? For an alpine town of only 5,000 residents, there are some wonderful restaurants in Jasper and Jasper food items.

Finding a wide selection of restaurants and cuisines in most towns can be difficult. However, in Jasper, you can find a variety of cuisines, restaurants, and price points. This means there are plenty of tasty places to eat in Jasper. We break down some of the best restaurants in Jasper below!


The Best Jasper Restaurants to Try!


Sunhouse Cafe

Breakfast in Banff Sunhouse Cafe
  • Location: 610 Patricia St, Jasper (GPS)
  • Hours: 8:00 a.m. — 2:00 p.m.
  • Cuisine: Australian Coffee House
  • Price: $$

Sunhouse Cafe gets our nod for the best spot to grab brunch in Jasper. The airy cafe has modern decor that overlooks Patricia Street and serves some mouth-watering coffee and food.

Coffee is a strong focus here, so even if you’re not looking to get a big meal, you should at least stop by for a latte. Drinks don’t stop there, though, as several organic teas, kombucha drinks, and smoothies are on offer too.

The Jasper food here is excellent and original, with fresh ingredients and healthy options. This is the kind of place you’ll find fancy avocado toast — and I mean that in a nice way.

It’s located on the second floor of a small mall, and the outdoor patio provides a pleasing view over Patricia Street.


Wicked Cup

Wicked Cup starts serving coffee early at 7:00 a.m. and is one of the best breakfast spots in Jasper. There is plenty of seating, and the interior is eclectic with a small gift shop inside. An outdoor patio with plenty of seating means you can enjoy mountain views while you have your morning coffee.

Breakfast is served all day with staples such as a lox bagel, breakfast burrito, pancakes, and yogurt parfaits. They also have a children’s breakfast menu, which is a big win for families.

After breakfast, they serve food all day and have a full bar for when you’re ready to have a stronger drink. Nothing is exceptional here, but they definitely serve some good coffee in Jasper.

For breakfast, diners can choose from a classic egg breakfast, apple pie french toast, avocado toast, kale & potato hash, eggs benny, or Belgian waffles. We went with the french toast (photo above), and it was amazing. There are also several tasty smoothie options if that’s how you like to start your day.

Later in the day, they have a more varied menu with a selection of American staples. You can choose from a charcuterie board, burger, steak, smoked fish, salads, and even fondue! Food is really great here, and prices feel reasonable for the quality.

A standout dish is the Breakfast Bagel, a tummy-filling Montreal-style bagel with cream cheese, avocado, and veggies. You can choose from a nice range of coffee and tea drinks like a cappuccino or London Fog (The Jasper Haze). It’s all pretty decent and can hit the spot if you’re hungry in the early morning, as they’re one of the first breakfast spots to open in Jasper.

  • Price: $$
  • Website: Link

If you’re wondering where to eat in Jasper and haven’t tried the brewery yet, you must go tonight! Hands down, our favorite place to eat in Jasper is the Jasper Brewing Company; visiting is one of the best things to do in Jasper. Jasper Brewing Company was the first National Park Brewery in Canada. It opened in 2005, and afterward, they are responsible for opening Banff Ave Brewing.

Three founders were born and raised Jasper locals and created the space as a great community hub. It’s one of the best breweries in the Canadian Rockies, and while their beers are delicious, I love their food! Everything here has been delicious. I highly recommend trying their Halloumi Bowl! Also, don’t be afraid to purchase one of their awesome shirts that are great to wear in Alberta.


Syrahs of Jasper

One of the most well-reviewed Jasper restaurants is Syrahs of Jasper. To start Syrahs of Jasper has an extensive cocktail menu. Perfect for pre-dinner with cocktails with friends. Don’t be afraid to order their awesome Boar Bacon Caesar!

Every night, their chef prepares a few amazing dishes that rotate. They offer fresh seafood as well – a rarity in the Canadian Rockies. Besides their nightly dishes, they have other delicious offerings like Alberta Boar Chop and Alberta Elk Striploin. Reservations are recommended in the summer.

The Spice Joint
  • Location: 614 Connaught Drive (GPS)
  • Hours: 11 AM-5PM

  • Price: $

The Spice Joint is a small Jasper Restaurant that dishes up Jamaican-inspired cuisine. It’s a great lunch spot and a great place to head if you want sandwiches and salads. Their jerk chicken sandwich is probably the best in the whole province!

It’s set in a laidback, colorful restaurant with super friendly Jamaican staff and owners. We’ve only been twice, but the service was excellent both times. Can not recommend this spot for a meal in Jasper enough!


Andaaz Jasper

andaaz jasper
  • Location: 612 Patricia St (GPS)

For the best Indian restaurant in Jasper, you cannot miss Andaaz Jasper.

Their mission is to bring the diversity of Indian cuisine to the table, featuring Chef Vipin’s blend of distinctive spices and inventive flair, accompanied by attentive and charming service to offer an exceptional dining experience for locals and tourists visiting the stunning Rockies. You cannot leave the restaurant without ordering some famous garlic naan!

  • Hours: 4PM-9PM

If you’re in the mood for seafood, head to Fiddle River for a warm atmosphere, great staff, and some delicious food. The menu has a lot of variety, such as wild game and seafood options of arctic char, salmon, and even crab legs. They have an outdoor patio that’s wonderful to enjoy a meal on a nice summer evening.

Prices are a little on the high side, but it is a mountain seafood restaurant! It’s a favorite spot for locals, and we highly recommend it.


De’d Dog Bar & Grill

Jasper in winter
  • Location: 404 Connaught Drive (GPS)
  • Hours: 3:00 PM – 9:30 PM
  • Cuisine: Bar Food
  • Price: $
  • Website: Link

De’d Dog Bar, or “Dead Dog,” is an institution in the Town of Jasper. It’s a dive bar that locals always head to, but tourists will also love it! There’s ample seating here and a long bar to enjoy late into the night in the summer.

While it may only look like a dive bar, De’d Dog has some great bar food. Their ribs and poutine are their most famous meals, and the portions are huge. Almost enough for two people to enjoy – so come hungry and enjoy with a cold beer!


Olive Bistro

Jasper in winter
  • Location: Pyramid Lake Rd (GPS)
  • Hours: 4 PM – 9:30 PM
  • Cuisine: Mediterranean
  • Price: $$$

Olive Bistro and Lounge is another intimate Jasper casual yet classy restaurant. They offer a selection of small plates to pair with delicious cocktails and wine.

They have wide-open windows and a heated outdoor patio! On some evenings, you may even get lucky with live music.


Bear’s Paw Jasper Bakery

Bear's Paw Jasper Bakery
  • Location: 4 Pyramid Lake Rd (GPS)
  • Hours: 6:00 a.m. — 6:00 p.m.
  • Cuisine: Coffee and Pastries
  • Price: $
  • Website: Link

Bear’s Paw Bakery is an institution in Jasper, and just about every visitor to Jasper should pay the bakery a visit. Everything is baked from scratch in-house, and they have various Canadian and European pastries.

The signature baked good is a bear paw or one of their massive scones. Baked goods are bountiful at the Bear’s Paw Bakery, such as cookies, muffins, apple pie, pumpkin tarts, sticky cinnamon buns, brownies, rhubarb squares, and fresh bread loaves. We suggest giving their coffee a skip, but that could be our preference. Sunhouse and Andromeda serve better coffee in Jasper, and if you’re not picky, Timmies is cheaper.

There are two locations: the original Bear’s Paw Bakery and the Other Bear Paw. Ice cream is also available for an afternoon treat, but we’ve never had it. It’s also nice to note that they open early at 6:00 a.m. for the early risers. This is great if you plan to have a big day out!


Patricia Street Deli

Patricia Street Deli
  • Location: 610 Patricia St (GPS)
  • Hours: 10AM–3PM
  • Cuisine: Sandwich Shop
  • Price: $
  • Website: Link

With the word “deli” in the name, it may not seem like it would be one of the best Jasper restaurants, but trust us. If you are looking for something quick and easy for lunch, check out this tiny little establishment, run by two very enthusiast and long time friendly locals.

Patricia Street Deli does roasted chicken sandwiches and wraps that are fresh and healthy. The sandwiches are made to order like Subway, but about 100x better. Seriously, do not visit Subway in Jasper – head to Patricia Street Deli.

We personally like to grab them to go to bring on a long Jasper hike or before we set out to drive between Jasper and Banff on the Icefields Parkway. There’s nothing better than having one of these sandwiches for lunch while looking out from a mountain summit. Last time we brought our sandwiches out on the Berg Lake Trail and enjoyed our food under Mount Robson.


Famoso Neapolitan Pizza

Famoso Neapolitan Pizza
  • Location: 607 Patricia St (GPS)
  • Hours: 12PM – 9 or 10PM
  • Cuisine: Pizza/Takeaway
  • Price: $
  • Website: Link

Looking for a late-night option in Jasper? Try Famosa Pizza, which is always busy on a nice summer day. Famosa is a Canadian chain pizza restaurant. Although we typically don’t recommend chain restaurants, we were seriously impressed with the pizza.

We love getting a pizza to go and enjoying it on one of the beautiful Jasper lakes (always remember to leave no trace). Famosa is one of the best takeout restaurants in Jasper.
