Restaurants in Northwest Territories

  1. A

    Bullock's Bistro

    This fish shack is the city's most-revered eatery, despite (or perhaps because of) the irascible service. Only fresh local cod, trout and whitefish make the menu. The atmosphere is ultra-informal, the deck has bay views, and kitsch and countless photos bedeck the walls. Reservations are recommended.

    Le Frolic Bistro Bar

    This cheery establishment and the L'Héritage Restaurant upstairs are the token French eateries in Les Territories du Nord-Ouest. The usually delicious meals range from Montreal smoked-meat sandwiches (around C$13) to pan-fried Great Slave pickerel ($23).

  3. Green Briar Restaurant

    In the Mackenzie Hotel, Green Briar has Arctic foods such as char and muskox and a very popular prime-rib special on Thursday nights, which sells out to locals. There's also a pub, the Brass Rail, and a dance club, the Zoo, in the hotel.

    Wildcat Café

    A tourist trap that locals love too, this famed Old Town café operates out of a 1937 log cabin. A different vendor runs it each summer, so the menu, prices and opening hours vary.

  9. G

    Diner

    Around rickety tables, old-timers and deadbeats shoot the bull. Breakfasts and lunchtime burgers are greasy, but the flavor here is all in the patrons.
