Part of a unique chain that owns branches in Calgary and Vancouver, Saltlik definitely puts the cool in Canadian. Celebrating instead of ignoring Canadian culture, the Saltlik bar and restuarant in Banff is full of wood, leather, modern graphic design and chic touches such as the wooden elk in a mountie uniform. The menu is comprehensive and despite having no mint for mojitos (hey - at least they had heard of them!) they did manage to rustle me up some vodka and lime, the first establishment in Canada in which I've actually found lime cordial. Service was great, although in their downtimes most of the younger waitresses seemed to be occupying the manager's lap, and while not busy (late Sunday night) the other patrons looked urbane, up-market and city-bred. A good place for an early dinner or late night drink, I wouldn't hesitate to visit again.
