Eagle's Eye.

This past week, I made an excursion to Golden with my brother to visit a friend and her husband who live there (plenty more on this later!).

One day, we took the gondola up Kicking Horse Mountain to do some hiking, and have lunch at the wonderful Eagle's Eye Restaurant (the same location as Carly's winter wonderland wedding).

Canada's Most Elevated Dining Experience.

Since the restaurant is located at the very top of the ski hill, it naturally has gorgeous views. (Three of the four walls in the dining room are floor to ceiling windows to showcase this!) Since we stopped in for a late lunch,  it wasn't very busy, and all the patrons had window seats.

Check out the view!

Since this is a fine dining establishment, the menu is quite fancy. If you want to check it out, I'd recommend lunch, as that menu is much more affordable than the dinner menu!

To start, I had a fabulous chai latte. Who would have thought to stir with rock candy?

Heaven in a mug... and on a stick.

For lunch, I had a blackened chicken wrap with corn salsa. It came with a mixed green salad and some of the most fantastic fries I've ever eaten in my life.

Both Ken and Carly ordered the charcuterie and cheese, which came on a gorgeous stone slate. The meat selection was a nice Mennonite sausage, some dried buffalo that was very similar to a pastrami (it was heavenly) and prosciutto. The cheeses were Camembert, brie and a very blue cheese.

I made Ken wait to eat until I took this picture.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and afterwards proceeded to hike around the ridges- maybe not the best idea after eating... Hindsight. Sigh. (more on the hiking later!)

The Eagle's Eye is a phenomenal restaurant located in some of the most stunning scenery in the Rockies. If you ever find yourself in the area, it's worth a check out!
