About Mt. Wilson Restaurant & Café

The Mt. Wilson Restaurant & Café at The Crossing Resort offers guests a warm, casual dining experience in one of the Rockies’ most scenic locales. Located just minutes from the Icefields Parkway, it provides nourishing meals for adventurers looking to refuel and relax in a welcoming alpine setting.

Guests can enjoy a hearty buffet at lunch and dinner, including a fresh salad bar and rotating hot entrées crafted with hungry hikers and road trippers in mind. In the evenings, the experience is elevated with a full à la carte menu and bar service, allowing for a more personalized and leisurely meal. For those seeking lighter fare, the adjacent café offers a variety of quick-service options like soups, sandwiches, baked goods, and hot coffee—ideal for early risers or travellers on the go.

Mt. Wilson Restaurant is also well-suited for families and larger groups. While individual diners are always welcome without reservations, groups of ten or more are encouraged to book ahead to ensure smooth service. The mountain-themed décor and generous seating create a comfortable environment, whether you’re sitting down for a sunrise breakfast or winding down after a day exploring the Columbia Icefield.

Combining convenience, comfort, and Rocky Mountain charm, Mt. Wilson Restaurant & Café is a go-to dining destination for those travelling between Nordegg, Lake Louise, Banff and Jasper.
