We really love coming here for lunch! The service is always fantastic and the food is top notch. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable yet fancy enough for a special night out. An added bonus, our kids love too! The prices are fair for the quality of food. I think this is the best restaurant in Canmore.

Another amazing experience!! So happy to find that they had a gluten free beer and a LOT of their menu items are gluten free as well. Always a strong recommendation.

My wife and I ate her yesterday and had a wonderful time. First we had a reservation at 7:15. We were pretty impressed as it was only about 1/2 to 2/3 full upon our arrival. We were sat down and our waitress quickly gave us the run down of how to order etc. She was very nice and really responsive removing plates and refilling drinks. First, The sides were very good with our favorites being the acai slaw and mashed potatoes. The slaw was very fresh and the potatoes were well seasoned and came with a gentle amount of cheese. My wife and I also don't drink alcohol, but decided to splurge and found their non alcoholic drinks to be very impressive. Especially for 7-8 there were the best drinks we had in canmore. The meats were all great as expected. I especially liked the ribs, garlic steak, ribeye and picanha. Overall, if your the carnivore type a really great stop with great food and drinks all around. If your not a huge meat eater, the sides and drinks were still very good but you nay struggle to justify the 70 price tag.

Visited Gauchos brazillain restaurant in Canmore, Alberta. We have been to the Calgary location many times, but this was our first time here. We had 'all you can eat meat' and it comes with all kinds of extras. We had a group of 5 ladies for our friend's 50th bd. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Our server, Dominika, was super quick, and friendly and funny and food kept on flowing. She made our night! She knew exactly how to make the night special for us, what salads to try, what drinks were best, which deserts were awesome, and she did it so well. The night was perfect. The bd dinner was great! Thank you Dominika! You Are a Rockstar! Thank you Gauchos for great food and making it a fun evening.

Like meat? Go here!! Absolutely fantastic. Great food, excellent taste, a lot of choices, as much as you want and all for a fair price! You pay 70 dollar for a full churrascaria, which means they come to the table with sirloin, sausages, beef. pork, picana and more. You can order sides like potatoes, salads, mushrooms, fries and all you want. As a Tourguide I go around the world and I know my fair share of food and restaurants. I also visit Brazil frequently. This is truly amazing! I see some reviews and don’t understand the negative onces. Cannot think of anything gone wrong?! I will be back in 4 weeks!

One of the best buffet restaurant. Me and my husband had lunch at Gaucho and it was such a great experience! The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, and their grilled pineapple? A total must-try! We left super full and happy, definitely coming back when we’re in Canmore again
