The cafe had a really beautiful view. At first, I thought $10 for a pie was a bit expensive, but it was almost the size of two women’s palms and tasted great, so I was satisfied. I wanted to go back again, but unfortunately, it was closed on Monday and Tuesday, which was a bit disappointing.

Great little place with history. Built in 1935, now is a summer time restaurant. Place was clean with spotless washrooms. Sat outside and saw the beginning of a sunset over the lake. The fish dip was good, but their fried fish dinner was excellent! Service was great! Young man that served us was very attentive. I recommend you five this little eatery a try!

We were so happy to eat here after a 9 hr drive. We had the prospector board and the morrel mushrooms. It was divine! This was the best canadian food I have ever had. Canada is more than poutine! I want to bring the chef back to my home town to show them what Canadiana food is really like. Even my teenagers where happy with the food. It was nice to hear so many languages at this place.

Chef Nikki is defining what Northern Food means. Don't even bother with anywhere else in Yellowknife until you're tried Wildcat.

Taste the stories of the north. We could feel the heritage stored in the walls. Great food, friendly service, atmosphere of adventure.

We enjoyed a lovely dinner on the pateo, sharing a bunch of small plates. Everything was good but the stuffed morels were incredible.

Food was local and delicious! The vibe is very casual, camp with tin plates, etc. Would highly recommend for the food and experience. Fyi - Hours are limited, and seating is first come first serve.
Excellent food! Freshly made with obvious love of culinary delight. The coffee was well brewed which is always a perfect bonus. The service staff are kind and diligent. The log cabin is cosy and with the food being so good, it makes it hard to leave. Plan on ordering multiple items to share if possible because the entire menu is definitely amazing!

Came here Sunday morning as Google maps said they were open but then there was a sign saying they were closed for the weekend because of the music festival :( wish they had updated their hours here and saved me the walk to old town

Went to the 2025 soft opening. I had the Shankys Whip with cream, let me tell you that drink takes strong perseverance to drink, delicious but strong. The pork hash was simply tasty, the breakfast sandwich is so filling, like a 3 course meal. I can't wait to go back when the full menu is available.

A great little place to stop! The food is delicious, the staff were friendly, and the place is clean and cozy. I've been here a few times and I have never left unsatisfied. They also have the best French Onion soup I've had in a restaurant. It is worth the visit!
