Best place to eat in Banff

Lupo is a modern Italian restaurant with a cool but relaxing vibe. Their food was excellent, fresh, crispy wood-fired crusted pizza, and their Caesar salad was mouthwatering (if a salad could ever be mouthwatering). It was the perfect ending to our hiking trip in beautiful Banff, Canada. #banff
