If you want the best food in Jasper, you need to head to Connaught or Patricia Street.
This is the centre of Jasper and provides you with all sorts of cuisine like international or cultural experiences, meals with a view, local fare, seafood, and more. The dining in Jasper ranges everywhere from casual to fine dining, with options for breakfast at the cafes and bakeries, brunch and lunch, dinner, or just-drinks.
If you’re just stopping by the National Park, there are tasty takeout options, too. But these aren’t your ordinary, plain-old, takeout menus. The Jasper restaurants with takeout have unique options that can enhance any picnic, hike, or afternoon at the lake.
