  1. A

    Caribou Restaurant & Wine Bar

    Between the confusing haze of wide-set freeways and boxy mega-marts lies one of Thunder Bay’s best dining options. The facade positively reeks of franchise banality; however, the inside is filled with one-of-a-kind touches like white-clothed tables and designer stemware.

    Hoito Restaurant

    You’ll think you’ve stumbled into a staff cafeteria in Finland – in fact, that’s how the Hoito started, providing affordable meals to Finnish bushworkers. This Thunder Bay institution serves breakfast until 7:30pm, and lunch starts at 10:45am – though you’ll probably just want to eat the notorious flattened pancakes around the clock. Don’t forget to wish the Hoito a happy birthday – the restaurant celebrated 100 years in 2010, though we don’t think it looks a day over 75…

  3. Growing Season Juice Collective

    Healthy blended juice is the name of the game here, but it also does scrumptious dishes to accompany your smoothie. Wash down your carrot sticks with a shot of organic wheatgrass, which just happens to be grown on-site!

  4. Masala Grille

    Housed in a stately Victorian manse, this eclectic addition to Thunder Bay’s dining scene represents the evolving community as new immigrants add a certain cosmopolitan flare to the otherwise staid city. Sample spicy platters from the subcontinent; there are a few Thai treats to tempt the palate too.

    Giorg

    The exterior is a throwback to a time when good taste and architecture weren’t especially synonymous (the ’70s), but the charming Italian restaurant inside ranks as one of Thunder Bay’s best, with scrumptious pastas served by poised waiters.

    Prospector Steakhouse

    Appetites beware: you’re about to be obliterated. Hefty carnivorous portions are dished out amid ranchlike curios. The infamous prime rib will give your arteries a workout.

    A diamond in the rough hidden amongst clunky uninspired neighbors, Bistro One sizzles with an innovative, ever-changing menu, sleek decor and a legendary wine list.
