For a small city, Yellowknife has an amazingly wide selection of eateries, bars and pubs. There's fine dining, fast food chains, cozy diners, food trucks in the summer, and at least a half dozen international cuisines, offering opportunities to have a taste of the world while in Canada's North.
Looking for local dishes? Many restaurants feature fresh-caught fish from Great Slave Lake or some offer bison burgers or bison stew. Feeling lazy, grab some delicious take out! Want a one-of-a-kind dining experience, then choose to dine in a quirky historic building in old town; there are many outdoor patios throughout the city for you to enjoy summer. Or visit the Farmer's Market on Tuesday and listen to live music while you eat.
