Head to Aalto, in Pyramid Lake Lodge, for a welcoming lakeside weekend brunch or après-adventure supper. Indulge in menus deeply inspired by the surrounding wonders while gazing at the lake's scenic shores and dramatic Rocky Mountain backdrop. Sunset is an epic time to dine, as a soft rosy-gold glow washes over the restaurant's surrounding peaks. And, on clear nights, Jasper's dark sky shimmers with starlight, making Aalto the national park's most breathtaking year-round dining experience.

If not, aim high and nab a table on Jasper's only true rooftop patio. The newly renovated outdoor space has a fireplace, seven outdoor heaters and a separate bar and restrooms.
Take in Jasper’s stunning views with a cold beer in the heart of town. With lots of outdoor seating, The Legion (also known as The Stand Easy) is a great spot to hang out with friends after a day of adventure. The beer selection is top-notch, but the tasty food will keep you coming back.
