Moose's Nook Chophouse

Overview

About Moose's Nook Chophouse

Moose’s Nook Chophouse is the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge’s signature steakhouse experience—think premium Alberta beef, wild game, and sustainable seafood served in a warm, wood-and-stone dining room. The venue has been referenced more recently as “The Nook” or a smokehouse/steakhouse concept, but it’s the same intimate, special-occasion spot inside the historic lodge on the shores of Lac Beauvert.

Why stop

Classic lodge steakhouse with Alberta beef, game, and seafood
Cozy fireplace ambiance with Rockies-and-lake lodge setting

Heads up

Pricey splurge
Books up fast—reserve ahead in peak seasons

If you want a true Rockies lodge dinner—fireplace glow, attentive service, and a plate that does Alberta proud—this is the move. It’s more refined than most in-town options, and the setting inside the park’s grand lodge gives it that “you’re really here” vibe.
