The Best Jasper Restaurants to Try!
The Maligne Range

- Hours: 11:30 a.m.–11 p.m.
- Cuisine: Canadian
- Price: $$$

The Maligne Range is a new disterilly in Jasper, specializing in Canadian Whisky. It’s a great place to head when you’re in need of a cocktail, but they also have a great food menu. Serving brunch, lunch, and dinner, here smoked in-house specialities like west coast salmon, pork belly, and alberta beef brisket are just a few of the delicious items on offer.
They also offer a kids’ menu for the little ones and a nice Happy Hour that runs from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM onwards.
Harvest Food & Drink
- Location: 616 Patricia St, Jasper (GPS)
- Hours: 9:00 a.m. — 2:00 p.m.
- Cuisine: Canadian
- Price: $$
- Website: Link
One of the better Jasper restaurants in town is Harvest Food & Drink. Harvest serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner — so it’s open all day. It’s one of the newer restaurants in Jasper with a healthy menu (although it’s definitely not all healthy!).
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! The food is really great here, and the prices seem reasonable for the quality.

Raven Bistro is a small and intimate bistro in downtown Jasper, offering something a little different for the Area.

- Cuisine: Brewpub/Canadian
- 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 were 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.
Estio Jasper
- Location: 614 Connaught Drive (GPS)
- Hours: 11 AM-5PM
- Cuisine: Jamaican
- Price: $
Formerly known as the Spice Joint, Estio Jasper is now a small establishment that serves Jamaican patties, artisan sandwiches, coffee, ice cream, smoothies, and fresh juices. It’s a great lunch spot and a great place to head if you want a quick bite and patty. Their jerk chicken sandwich is probably the best in the whole province!
It’s set in a laid-back, colorful restaurant with super-friendly Jamaican staff and owners. We’ve only been twice, but the service was excellent both times. It’s the ideal spot for a quick meal in Jasper!
The Fiddle River
If you’re in the mood for seafood, head to Fiddle River for a warm atmosphere, great staff, and some delicious food. The menu offers a wide variety, including wild game and seafood options such as arctic char, salmon, and 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
- 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 appear to be a dive bar, De’d Dog offers some excellent 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
- Location: Pyramid Lake Rd (GPS)
- Hours: 4 PM – 9:30 PM
- Cuisine: Mediterranean
- Price: $$$
- Website: Link
Olive Bistro and Lounge is another intimate yet classy restaurant in Jasper. They offer a selection of small plates to pair with delicious cocktails and wine. If you want to share a selection of tapas inspired by the Mediterranean (with Canadian twists), you will absolutely love heading to Olive Bistro. 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
- Location: 4 Pyramid Lake Rd (GPS)
- Hours: 6:00 a.m. — 6:00 p.m.
- Cuisine: Coffee and Pastries
- Price: $
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 offer a variety of 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 skipping their coffee, but that may be our personal preference. Andromeda serves better coffee in Jasper, and if you’re not particular, Tim Hortons 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 worth noting 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!
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 remembering to leave no trace. Famosa is one of the best takeout restaurants in Jasper.
Try a Jasper Food Tour!
Wondering how we made it to many of these Jasper, Alberta restaurants? On our last trip, we enjoyed a food tour with Jasper Food Tours, which took us all around the town and served up fabulous meals. I highly recommend joining Estelle on her local tour, which offers a mix of Jasper’s best attractions and some fascinating history about the area.
