There are few places where the food is as outstanding as the mountain views around you, but thanks to the newest dining concept from Cilantro on the Lake at Emerald Lake Lodge, you can finally have your chance to savour both in harmony.

Open Wednesday-Sunday from 2-7 p.m. our iconic (and very Instagrammed) “cabin on the lake” locale is transforming into an equally iconic spot to fill up after an afternoon of exploring. A menu complete with shareable plates, a fantastic wine and cocktail menu and cozy, fun environment, it’s an adventurer’s apres dream. 

Cilantro on the Lake’s menus will take inspiration from CRMR’s signature Rocky Mountain Cuisine dining concept that brings together Canadian ingredients such as game meats, sustainable seafood, prairie-grown grains and locally-sourced vegetables. Guests can delight their tastebuds with items perfect for sharing, like our boards and spreads, or heartier dishes like Lamb Shank or Beef Ribeye (check out our favourites below). We suggest 2-3 dishes per couple!
