Dining with David: Bear Street Tavern

The Bear Street Tavern – Banff, AB – July 26, 2013

Looking for a good, local place to catch an early dinner, I was referred to a little Tavern in the middle of Bear Street, one block off of Banff Avenue.  I was lucky to get a table outside, nice courtyard in the back, where it was quiet and peaceful.  I ordered their famous pizza, the Margarita.  This was your typical Margarita with fresh tomatoes, basil and then has sauce and a nice coating of mozzarella.  Now, it gets different with a wonderful fresh crust and baked in high-temp pizza oven.  But that’s not it; they go funky and give you a special red pepper oil and then honey to drip on your pizza.  I was not sold, but certainly willing to give it a try.  I drip a little pepper oil and then honey on a slice, wow, what a difference that makes in the taste of the pizza.  They have a winner.  Great atmosphere, great pizza and great niche.
