Views and restaurant were beautiful!! Super clean! ”
“ Went to the ice bar and had an unexpectedly great time. None of us are fans of vodka, but the experience was phenomenal! Phoebe was an amazing host! ”
“ Upscale restaurant with a gorgeous view located in Lizard Creek Lodge nestled in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada. Started dinner with an appetizer size of the feta, watermelon salad-crisp & refreshing. Both the salmon & duck entrees were perfectly cooked, seasoned & delicious. The Ice Bar was a highlight, wearing parkas provided by the lodge & having a sip of vodka in -12 degrees An exceptional dinner at Cirque & a fun experience at the “ice bar” all in a beautiful setting. ”
“ My partner and I came here for dinner since we were staying at Lizard Creek Lodge. Based on other reviews, it seems like it can be very hit or miss here. However, we did have a nice experience. We both ordered the elk bolognese which delivered on flavour and portion size (it was huge). Can’t speak to other dishes but we were fans of the spaghetti after a long day on the mountain, and the views/ambience is lovely as well. ”
“ Had a fantastic time at Cirque attending our Son's Wedding. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. I would highly recommend the Braised Bison Short Ribs for Entree and if they have the Bison Ragu on special menu go for it, the Bison is so tender. I tried a couple of their own cocktails from the bar and wish I had got the recipes (I might email and ask nicely for them!) they won't disappoint. We sat outside after dinner on the deck looking at the stunning views, this is what memories are made of. Thank you to the staff of Cirque Restaurant and Bar and Lizard Creek Lodge for making our stay so special. ”
“ Best place to rest and eat on the mountain! Right at the bottom of the Elk lift. Perfect vibes, huge warm fire place, amazing service and fancy restoration hardware decor. Loved every minute we were here. The food is amazing - soups are on pointe, salads are bomb, great allergy specific and gluten free options, and the fries are maybe the best in BC!! Also - sweet cocktails! The b52’s kept us going, and there’s always a special on after 3 pm. (50% off drinks?! YES PLS) ”
“ We ate at Cirque three times on our trip, twice for breakfast and once for lunch, and we enjoyed craft cocktails at the bar multiple times. All aspects were exceptional every time. The pancakes on the breakfast menu are decadent with toasted coconut and fresh berries. One of my most favorite breakfast meals I have had out. My husband got the traditional breakfast both times and was impressed with the portion and how perfectly the eggs were cooked. We snowboarded for a few hours before deciding we wanted to have lunch and the weather was gorgeous to sit on the patio and have a drink with our lunch. We had the bison poutine and a margherita pizza and both were delicious. We tried a great majority of their special cocktail menu because we enjoyed talking to our bartender from Holland and his craft at making drinks! He makes a mean espresso martini but my favorite drink was probably the "slippery ascent" which was like a spicy margarita, except made beautiful! Whether we are staying at the resort on our next Fernie visit or another location, we will still be sure to come back to Cirque! ”
