Dining with David: Beavertails

Beavertails – Banff, AB – July 26, 2013

Right in the middle of downtown Banff on Banff Avenue is the perfect little snack place.  This is not your normal pastry place, this is a special, unbelievable special desert shop that also serves ice cream and yogurt.  Their namesake item is a whole-wheat (healthy!) pastry that is made fresh right in front of you.  They hand-stretch the pastry, cook it in piping oil (floating) and then topped with butter.  Now the decision comes; what do you want to put on it.  I got the special #8, hot chocolate hazelnut spread topped with a fresh-cut banana, then sprinkled with powdered sugar.
The taste is like nothing you have had.  It is not sweet like a pastry, it has a unique taste and the chocolate hazelnut with banana was wonderful.  It even seem to have a slight hint of salt that just made the other flavors pop.  A must try place if in Canada.
