I was looking for a sixth star for atmosphere—talk about over-deliver! A different seat would give you a different experience every time. When it comes to the arctic, context is everything, and when you consider the location and the unique challenges that come with running a restaurant in such a place, Alestine’s is something of a culinary miracle, every day. The small, “of the moment” menu, based on what’s fresh, just caught, local, and/or, authentically Canadian, offers hearty portions and even heartier service in surroundings that are sure to provide a little magic for even the weariest traveller. And a jam jar of wine is always a good idea. Bring your appetite, pull up a stump, marvel at every story filled book and cranny, and be assured you will leave very well looked after!

So cozy in January, the food was wonderful and the wine in a mason jar was perfect. Definitely a must stop in Inuvik!

We enjoyed each meal we had at Alestine's! The fish tacos, chili and fish & chips were delicious. It was busy and we had a large group but still we didn't wait too long. The owners are good people and offer a great experience right in town at Inuvik!

This is a quirky/eclectic little place. The food is excellent and the service is wonderful. Fresh, fast, and delicious. The chili is outstanding, and the fish and chips were delicious; perfectly crisp and moist.

Absolutely wonderful. After a long day on the motorbike, this was heaven - but not just for NWT, for all of Canada! Excellent food, service, and environment. Planning to eat here every night!

Alestine's is a very different kind of restaurant that has the kitchen in a school bus and the dining room in a small square building. If you can get 20 people in for one sitting it would be full.
It's operating from a back yard in Inuvik and is easy to find.
The food was very good, and the service was exceptional. I would say that the owner is what makes this business a success. She has a wonderful personality and certainly appealed to all the patrons that were enjoying the restaurant when I was there. The decor is interesting and the menu has interesting choices. You must go eat here to understand what I mean!
I will be back!

Drove here from New Jersey; was a nice place to hang out. The outdoor dining was a fun experience north of the Arctic Circle!
