One98Eight Restaurant: A Culinary Dream Turned Reality 

Found in the heart of Canmore, One98Eight Restaurant is a reflection of its owner Anand Kelkar’s lifelong passion for food and hospitality.

Inspired by his childhood in India, where Sundays were spent watching cooking shows instead of cartoons, Anand developed a deep appreciation for the art of cooking from an early age. His love for food was nurtured at home, where his parents, both exceptional home cooks, and his grandmothers, who prepared hearty, unforgettable meals, influenced his culinary journey.

For Anand, dining out was never just about the food—it was about the experience. Every special occasion in his family was celebrated at a beloved restaurant in his hometown, where the service was just as exceptional as the cuisine. The staff knew them by name, making every visit feel like coming home to family. That warm, personal connection left a lasting impression on Anand and became the foundation of his dream—to create a restaurant where guests feel like they belong. One98Eight is the realization of that dream. Here, guests are not just customers; they are part of a community, welcomed with genuine hospitality and served with passion.

That feeling of warmth, connection, and exceptional service is what Anand aims to recreate at One98Eight. For him, food is more than just sustenance; it is a way to bring people together, build relationships, and create lasting memories. He envisions his restaurant as a welcoming space where guests are not just customers but part of a larger community. Just as his childhood restaurant knew every guest by name, he wants One98Eight to be a place where people feel at home, greeted with genuine hospitality and served with care.

With a thoughtfully curated menu that showcases bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and innovative culinary techniques, One98Eight is quickly becoming a favorite dining destination in Canmore.

Whether locals stopping by for a comforting meal or visitors looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Anand and his team ensure that every guest leaves with a full heart and a satisfied palate. His dream is now a reality—one that continues to bring people together, just as food always has in his life.
