I’ve been living in the Yukon for almost a year now, and in Whitehorse this has been my favorite restaurant. It has a whole vegan menu that includes vegan pizzas, vegan hot dog, falafel wrap, salads, etc. Every time I ate there the food was delicious and it’s my go-to restaurant! It’s especially nice if you travel with non-vegans because there are choices for everyone. The only thing is that it’s not cheap (for example, the pizzas are delicious but 28$CAD each, but honestly after one or two slice I’m full so it gives me a lot of leftovers).
Great food and service at reasonable prices - two thumbs up.

Me and a couple of colleagues stopped in for supper. The service was really good. They had an excellent selection of beers. I ended up trying the Juicy IPA. I ordered the smash burger. The burger was seasoned perfectly, The texture was great and the portions were right on. A really interesting style. Even the bathroon was really neat. I would certainly go back.

The food is awesome and we would definitely go back!
Loved their selection of music, but it was pretty loud and not easy to have a conversation.

Great spot for dinner. Inventive menu options. We had the veggien plate with the cumin yogurt dip. My partner had the feta pizza which could feed 4 and I had the crispy chicken burger with Buffalo sauce. All was tasty and really good. I like the decor or the place and they have a neat bar with a awesome mural behind it. There are tons of cocktails to chose from as well. This place is quite busy and I can see why. Really enjoyed my dinner.

What an interesting place! Steampunk parrots all over the place are surprisingly tasteful ?
Art is very impressive all around.
I got the shawarma poutine on Tuesday so it was half off and absolutely delicious! Such a good palate filler. Lots of flavours!
My wife got the feta pizza with chicken and such. Was very yummy. Just what we needed!
Cocktail was too bitter, but that's a clerical error ?
Sh! T's good! Go try it out!

Walked in (as a non-fussy party of 2) last night and waited to be seated behind one party in front of us… so far, a normal experience. They seemed somewhat busy but nothing crazy. Strangely, the hostess did not greet us or acknowledge us.
While we and the party in front of us were waiting to even be acknowledged by the hostess, two parties came in after us and were both greeted by the hostess, and one of them got seated at the bar. The hostess ignored us and the other party completely.
Another party came in right after and the hostess greeted them, and I had to interject with “hello, us and this other party have been waiting here for 10+minutes.”
She then said “I’ll put your names on the list”.
We should have left at that point.
After some more waiting we were seated. The server came 10 minutes later asking for drink orders. We got two cocktails and the pretzel to start. The cocktails were great, and the pretzel was good too. Then we ordered the shawarma poutine and feta pizza to share.
We waited 1 hour for food to arrive. The poutine was not edible. The poutine shawarma chicken was well overcooked (chewy and dry), and the dish was brutally overpowered by a Lebanese garlic sauce. The sauce burnt our lips after 1 bite each. It was hurting our mouths, and we are huge garlic lovers. I’ve have Lebanese garlic sauce at shawarma places around the world. It does not burn like that. The ratio of sauce was overpowering as well.
The pizza was mediocre. It’s a very basic pizza, nothing to rave about. Not enough sauce, average dough, and the toppings were all under the cheese which, for pizza fans, is a nono.
The poutine was not edible. And since we had lost our appetite from the garlic and having to wait 90 minutes before eating, we boxed up the pizza and got the bill.
We tipped out of kindness for the server, but overall this place was a huge miss.
The menu was overcrowded, and each item was overwhelmed with ingredients. Won’t recommend this place to others until they sort out their kitchen. The chef needs to simplify the menu.

Good place, friendly staff. If I have one complaint, it's the same. Everywhere is to stop smothering good food in a sauce. Put it on the side. people can put their own on

Excellent meal- best tasting meal we had out on our entire rv trip from Ohio to Homer, Alaska, and back. Seriously good food. Smashed tacos & classic donnair.
