Private rooms are our SPECIALTY

Located on Banff Avenue’s busiest corner, The Maple Leaf has become an iconic landmark in downtown Banff. We feature Canadian cuisine including Alberta beef, game, fresh fish and seafood.

It is our aim to elevate classic steakhouse dishes to something truly original. Our chef sources the highest quality ingredients and compliments these with classic Canadian flavours.

Dietary concerns

 

We understand

Our Chef has designed our group menus to include vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, nut free and shellfish free options. Dietary indicators are conveniently noted next to each menu item so guests can order with ease. Please note, we are not able to significantly change or substitute items and dishes are plated as described.

If a member of your group has more extensive dietary requirements, our Chef can create a fully custom menu to ensure each guest enjoys a delicious meal. Adequate notice (3 weeks minimum) is required and a fee of $30/person (in addition to the menu price) applies for custom menu curation

 

Audio Visual & Music

 

The Maple Leaf does not have any AV equipment in house. we provide soft background music.


Groups are permitted to bring rented audio-visual equipment into select private rooms. Rentals may be organized through Freeman AV Banff (costs are separate from the restaurant and are the sole responsibility of the client). Certain restrictions apply on AV - please confirm what is permitted with your Sales Manager.

We are unfortunately unable to sequester our sound system and our house music plays softly in all areas and private rooms. Group are not permitted to play their own music or bring in exterior sound equipment including Bluetooth speakers. Microphones are not permitted.

Rates FAQ:

What is the difference between  a private room and a main dining room booking?
A private room booking is when a specific private room is reserved for your groups’ exclusive use. Your guests will have private use of the room for the duration of the service and no other guests will have access to the room. Other areas of the restaurant remain open to the public. A private room booking is always subject to a minimum F&B spend which varies depending on the date and day of the week. A main dining room booking is when tables in the restaurant are reserved for your group dinner but other guests are seated around and beside your group. Please note, main dining room groups are seated at dinner tables upon arrival (there is no space for standing cocktails).

 

What is a minimum spend?
A minimum spend is the amount that you are required to spend on food and beverage before 5% tax and 20% gratuity are applied. Items such as food, wine, and drinks count towards a minimum spend. If the minimum spend requirement is not met, the difference will appear as a room fee on the final bill.
