Foodies EVIL DAVE'S GRILL
TASTE OF THE ROCKIES
Globally inspired and wickedly delicious, this funky and fun restaurant offers a diverse dinner menu bursting with fresh ingredients and creative flare. Cocktail lovers will find plenty of refreshment options (the Northern Lights cocktail is as beautiful as its namesake, while the New Normal makes for a sassy sip) and the bar stocks lots of local-made spirits such as Wildlife, Park Distillery, and Eau Clair. Carnivores will delight in the Malevolent Meatloaf — a perennial favourite and classic Alberta dish made with bison and wild boar. Vegan and gluten-free diners will melt over the Karma Curry. Still hungry? The Cowboy Sushi is great to share as a starter, while the Deadly Desserts will, as the name suggests, send you straight to heaven. Recently relocated to a beautiful and newly renovated space with a gorgeous patio and mountain views, this eatery is a must-try. If visiting in summer, don’t miss Evil Dave’s sister restaurant that’s located on a scenic ridge just minutes from downtown: Tekarra Restaurant p.65.

JASPER BREWING CO. Crisp. Unique. Local. The suite of beers on tap at Jasper Brewing Co. are as much a tribute to place as they are a tasty good time. Crafted using real glacier water from within the national park and founded by three born-and-raised Jasperites, these brews should lure any traveller who enjoys the odd tipple. “The Brewpub,” as it’s known around town, was the first brewery to open within a Canadian national park. The in-house brew masters are practically local heroes. Sample from their rotating selection of new brews or try some of the forever favourites like the Crisp Pils and Jasper the Bear Ale. For a truly local twist, ask for a “Black & Blue” – a pint of the Babe Blueberry Vanilla Ale with the 6060 Stout layered on top. The seasonal

menu serves up substantial, upscale pub style meals. The Rustic Elk Meatloaf is always a winner among carnivores while the Seared Halloumi Bowl makes for hearty, indulgent, vegetarian fare. Whether you’re hungry or thirsty, Jasper Brewing Co. will fit the bill. The restaurant has a nostalgic 70’s-retro-meets-barnyard-chic aesthetic. There’s wood panelled walls, custom flower-power artwork, big screen TVs playing the latest sports game, and corduroy upholstered booths that look out on the mountains through large windows (get even more expansive views between May and September on their heater-equipped patio). Their merchandise is equally stylish, with many items available exclusively at the pub. jasperbrewingco.ca 780-852-4111
