About

The Balkan is a lively spot that really brings the Mediterranean vibe to Banff. Diners love the lamb dishes and the fun atmosphere, especially on Greek nights with plate breaking. While many find the food delicious and the service great, others feel it's a bit pricey for the portion sizes. It's a popular place, so reservations are definitely a good idea.
