After the ski season send-off, it’s time for spring in the mountains. What better way to start a road-trip than lunch at Canmore’s The TroUgh Dining Company. Now open for mid-day noshing, the charming 10-table eatery owned by a mother-son duo has a lunch menu made up of all new offerings.

Get your hiking prep on with the Trough burger ($16) complete with cilantro salsa, cheddar and bacon or start with something lighter with the restaurant’s take on the Buffalo Mozzarella salad ($10) served with a strawberry balsamic glaze. If you’re more of a post-hike diner, treat yourself and the crew to a large bowl of nachos (from $12) served with potato crisps, chorizo, mozza, goat cheese and all the traditional veggie fixings.
