Samurai
Off the lobby of the Bessborough, this Japanese restaurant is pretty cool. The dark and moody interior has horseshoe-shaped tables around the grills. This is dining teppanyaki style, where the meal is cooked right before your eyes; always a fun way to eat, but if you're not in the mood it also has a small sushi bar in the corner.

Western Development Museum
If you only go to one museum in Saskatchewan, the Western Development Museum should be it. With stunning detail and nothing overlooked, this is a faithful re-creation of Saskatoon c 1910. Displaying the longest indoor street of any museum in Canada, you can roam through the buildings, from a dentist's office that looks like it was taken from a horror film to the pharmacy where hundreds of vintage bottle line the shelves, and find countless treasures.
There are trains, steam tractors, a sod house, buggies, sleighs and even a jail. Beyond the street is the excellent exhibition 'Winning the Prairie Gamble,' chronicling the rise from hardship that gave birth to the province. …

Vinyl Exchange
So you thought you could cross Canada with six CDs? This used-record shop will sort you out with new tunes, and yes, it does have CDs, new and used. It's worth a browse just to see the descriptions about the artists. Take The Tragically Hip for example: 'a beloved Canadian institution - we, however, prefer universal healthcare.' Viva la vinyl!

Mendel Art Gallery & Conservatory
A short walk northeast along the river from the downtown area brings you to the Mendel Art Gallery & Conservatory. With a focus on local artists and frequently changing exhibits, it's a pleasant addition to a stroll by the river. The conservatory is especially enticing, with a Zen garden to quiet the soul.

John's
For the carnivores amongst us, this is the place to go - big thick steaks, prime rib and decadently delicious lobster. Cavernous, dark and posh, it's a great place to treat yourself to a nice dinner out. Make sure you take a walk through the wine cellar to pick that perfect shiraz to go with your sirloin.

Koutouki Taverna
Like stepping into another dimension, once you go through the front door here you're transported into the heart of a Greek village. With a couple of floors, requisite blue-and-white tiles and flowing vines, the scene is set. The food is tops, too, with great traditional dishes on the go.

Saskatoon Railway Museum
Thomas fans unite for this Saskatoon Railway Museum. A little way out of town but a must for trainspotters, this simple museum isn't much more than an opportunity to get up close and personal with some locomotives, cabooses and anything else that runs on tracks.

6Twelve
Tucked behind the lobby of the Sheraton Cavalier Hotel, this groovy cocktail bar has got some style. Delicious tasting concoctions that emerge from behind the bar and a staff that's equally easy on the eyes make this a good place to settle in for the night.

Berry Barn
Why buy berries off the shelf when you can pick them yourself? A few kilometers out of town and worth the drive, the berry barn has a gift shop bursting with treasures, a café and a lovely outdoor garden to relax in.

Right in the guts of Broadway Ave, this popular double-story watering hole packs 'em in. Live music is a feature most nights. With 15 beers on tap and another 40 by the bottle, you'll find one you like - sooner or later.

Jake's on 21st
The throaty hiss of the espresso machine, the seldom heard mating call of the coffee lover in Canada, speaks volumes about Jake's. Great coffee, lots of sandwiches and deservedly popular for a weekday lunch.

Cluricaune's Irish Pub
Like any Irish pub, it can be chilled out in here or rockin'. In the Park Town Hotel and across from the park, it's a good place for a few. Guinness anyone?
