The Trough is an interesting restaurant - equal parts new and hip and old-school elegant. The restaurant itself is intimate and romantic with wood accents, low lighting and interesting decor. The servers are knowledgeable, professional and polished - attentive without being stuffy or cloying. The food is a little slow to come out, but when it arrives is fresh, delicious... More

Over the past few years I had heard great things about the Trough in Canmore, and was surprised to read some poor reviews here that concentrated on issues that I don’t so much care about. However, after dining there tonight, I will not be recommending the experience. The main problem for me was the food. Two of our three appetisers... More

We really enjoyed our dining experience at the Trough Dining Co.! We were greeted warmly at the door and shown to a lovely window seat. Our servers were very attentive during the evening but didn't hover. All three servers were professional yet friendly. The wine list is very accessible and detail to the said vintage on the menu was noted.... More

Can't say enough about this place! The owners make you feel extremely welcome, the food is extraordinary and they do little touches that further separate themselves from anywhere else! Ambience is also outstanding!

To anyone who thinks The Trough is fine dining, you have yet to explore what fine cuisine and high end service is! #1- Your "Fine Dining" Food and Beverage Servers SHOULD NOT serve you wearing JEANS! #2- In a fine dining restaurant you should not hear the wait staff arguing #3-The servers make a mochary out of formal service, putting...

At the same time, you can arrive casually dressed and still feel that you are in your element. The... More

I have been to The Trough several times since it opened. The food is standard (far from upper scale dining). They can not keep good staff, which makes the service very inconsistant. The only two faces that are the same are the british brother and sister who clearly have a strange relationship dynamic that makes me uncomfortable eating there! I... More

I took my parents to the Trough recently, and we had an absolutely wonderful time! The food was delicious. For appetizers we had the stuffed meatball and the ceviche with crisp wontons. They were both delicious, although my favorite was the meatball, it was stuffed with cheese and basil. For the mains we each had something different... my father had... More

Visited twice, once it was during the week in the off season and it was very quiet, the second time it was on a Saturday night in season. The food was on both occasions very good, the menu creative, the service courteous and attentive. In season, the restaurant was very loud and very busy, maybe a bit too much for... More
