Lake Louise 1950 Breakfast Menu

Like yesterday’s, this menu is hotel-sized, meaning about 7″x10-1/2″, compared with the dining-car-sized menus, which were 6-3/4″x9-1/2″. The cover photo occupies an unusually small portion of the front cover compared with dining car menus, so I doubt dining car patrons ever saw this picture on one of their menus.

The menu offers table d’hôte breakfasts for $1.50 (about US$12.25 today) whose entrées included eggs, omelettes, and of three kinds of fish, ham, bacon, sausage, or “minced chicken in cream.” The a la carte side has even more fish and many other entrées.
