Village Ice Cream

I do not have any picture on this one, but it's one of the memorable ice cream place that I have tried so far. The taste of the ice cream is rally strong. It is like eating the real concentrated thing itself. Definitely need to try this. The waffle is also recommended. It is crunchy and good.

We had a little problem getting to this place. It is a bit isolated and there is no other shops around it. I almost thought we went the wrong way. But at last, we arrived at our destination and enjoy our delicious ice cream.

Flavor that I tried:
- Earl Grey
- Guide's mint
- Salted Caramel
- Phil and Sebastian Coffee

single scoop is only $5 and double is $7. It is a bit expensive, but for a one time cheat eating, this is definitely worth it.

Saltlik

A great place to eat. I enjoy the food and the price is expensive but is still reasonable for a fairly high class restaurant. In comparison to others steak restaurant, the steak is really heavy on sauce. Usually they only put salt, pepper, and gravy. Here, they put a lot of interesting sauce that you have to try.

The bison

We decided to try this restaurant on the last day of our visit in banff especially after we ate at the restaurant below it who gave us 10 % discounts for it's group restaurant. They offer bison meat here as the name of the restaurant said. Honestly speaking, I cannot really tell the different between beef and bison. I enjoy anything that is cooked perfectly.

The restaurant is on the top floor and only open after 5:30 pm. We were the first customers on that day since we waited till this restaurant is open. The place is pretty nice and there is a bar in the middle of the restaurant.

free bread that always makes my life better.
