Melissa's is a favourite of locals and seemingly for good reason. They open at 7am daily and serve a wide variety of food and beverages. We arrived in the late morning and since the breakfast menu is available until 11:30 some of our group had breakfast. You can get a reasonably priced toast/eggs/bacon combo for around $6 or go a little more upscale for the crab and asparagus omelet (around $8 and excellent). The lunch menu expands into a variety of burgers, sandwiches, pizza, etc. My margarita was a little less frozen than I like but tasty none the less. The big breakfast was enough to feed an adult and a couple of small children. The chicken wrap was very good - although I was surprised it was served cold. The staff were extremely pleasant and many were definitely from other countries as they had as many different accents.

After inquiring around town, we got several nods to this place. It wasn't too crowded when we arrived around 7pm, and we later learned it got busier later in the evening. We had ample time to look over the menu, which had a wide variety of choices. My steak, for one, was very good, perfectly cooked to order and with pleasant side dishes. We were cared for by a knowledgeable waitstaff who worked together seamlessly, and we left impressed.

Melissa's Missteak is a fancifully named joint off the main strip in Banff. Because it's a few blocks off Banff Avenue, the prices are a bit lower than other hearty restaurants. Melissa's serves breakfast to dinner, with a varied menu from gourmet pizzas to fresh trout and salmon to hearty mountain stews to...well...steak. You can eat for under $10US, but if you splurge and have some Canadian beer with dinner, and perhaps desert, your bill might look more like $15US.
