It would be impossible to overstate how incredible this place is. The atmosphere was impeccably curated from the decor to the music. The service was exceptional – the servers were very knowledgeable and personable and excellent at answering questions and explaining the menu. I felt like we had a new friend by the end of service.

Now onto the food. We decided to go for the “Yes Chef” Vegan tasting menu and… wow! This wasn’t just outstanding vegan food, this was incredible food! Easily the best dinner I have ever had. Our expectations were exceeded in taste, quality, and quantity of each dish. Highlights were the caviar truffle fries, hand crab rolls, Szechuan spring rolls, chick’n fried maitake, and the “tuna” and “salmon” tartare. But honestly everything was a smash. One day later and we are still full and talking about this experience.

Top compliments go to the chef and the staff. This was an experience we’ll remember for years to come.

This is a modern but intimate restaurant. Not inexpensive, but it is my wife’s birthday and a night to splurge.

We enjoyed the Chef’s tasting menu, with Asian-inspired sushi cones, a radish and cucumber salad with nice sweet dressing, and encrusted eggs with caviar. This was followed by delicious crisp pork belly with mandarin, fries with cilantro and jalapeño, and medium rare beef tenderloin and black pepper sauce with charred broccoli.

Everything was first rate, and the service was top notch. An evening well spent.

To die for! Vegan options!!
We did the chef’s special, where they keep bringing you items until you are stuffed for three days after. I’m vegan, but everyone else is meat eater and they accommodated us all. Definitely worth the price, considering all of us didn’t need to eat the next day bc we were so full. It started off slow and we weren’t sure how much food there would be. But dish after dish was a banger, and pleased all of us. The server was clear on what was vegan, and what wasn’t.

Highlights : vegan ahi, vegan caviar spread (with vegan egg yolks!), egg rolls, and passion fruit mousse.

Super cute intimate vibe. If I’m ever in the area I will 100% be back.

What an absolute pleasure to dine at 4296, this evening. Our delightful server, Emily was the most kind and accommodating human. She made sure both our allergy and preferences were taken care of, which made the experience that much better. We tried a wide variety of dishes, all Vegan, which included the “Crab” Hand Rolls, Thai Broccoli, Poke, Truffle & Caviar Fries, Miso Mustard Beets, Smashed Radish & Cucumber Salad & the Hot Honey “Chicken”. We finished off with the remarkable Passion Fruit Mousse. All of the dishes were absolutely amazing. Presentation and Taste were top notch and we could not have chosen a better way to end our visit to Canmore. Even if you are not Vegan or Vegetarian, I would encourage you to take a trip to 4296 and indulge in a few or all of the aforementioned items. This was an absolutely stunning dining experience and we will return to Canmore, simply to dine with 4296. Thank you for a wonderful meal and top tier service.

Modern cozy fine dining tucked away on a side street in Canmore. We were ambitious and chose the Chef’s tasting for vegetarian and was blown away. I’ve been vegetarian for 30 years and every dish was astonishing, creative and flavourful without being overpowering. I don’t know what magic is happening in that kitchen, but it’s worth the drive! And if you’re extra lucky, Emily will be your server. Oh, yeah, and if you aren’t too full (but you will be) check out the speakeasy tucked in the back.
Our price point hit a little higher as we did the Chef’s tasting, but let me tell you, at 13 dishes and 2 desserts, we were bursting and had to take food home, such a good problem, and good value for a unique and elevated meal.
