Dining at Emerald Lake Lodge

In our dining room, lounge and bar you can sample Rocky Mountain Cuisine, the roots of which go back to both the lavish Victorian cooking from the CPR rail cars and the hearty meats prepared by Swiss and Austrian mountain guides.

All dishes are artfully presented and professionally served. Our wine list is extensive and features many award winning Canadian wines from central British Columbia, and includes a large selection of hard to find vintners' reserve wines.

Our wine list received the coveted Wine Spectator “Best of Award of Excellence” in 2004 and boasts over 400 outstanding local and international selections.


Mount Burgess Dining Room

Given the settings of these restaurants, we felt that an adaptation of the California Cuisine concept was called for. We added the influences of our Native Indian past, local wild game and our own creativity and culinary expertise. The result is true to the spirit of California Cuisine, but more rustic and hearty than you would find in the city and completely unique.

Cilantro On The Lake

At Emerald Lake we have created a magnificent post and beam architectural structure. The photos, though accurate, cannot fully convey the beauty of the open-timber, vaulted-ceiling mountain lodge and its surroundings. It achieves a successful integration with the Emerald Lake historic lodge and the soft elegance of the emerald-green lake. In the winter months we use the Cilantro lodge as a conference facility, opening in the summer for restaurant business.

Hours of Operation

Until August 15 Cilantro is open 11:00am to 9:00pm, closed August 16. From August 17 until August 24 Cilantro is open 11:00am to 5:00pm. There will be no dinner service available. Cilantro will close restaurant operations August 24 for the year. The takeout window however will continue to operate until mid-September, weather permitting.

These dates are approximate and may change based on business levels. Please call to confirm. Closed in winter.
