Bullocks Bistro

Top choice in Yellowknife


This legendary shack, brimful of bumper stickers, happy diners, diners' graffiti, and mix-and-match furniture, is a sassy, humorous place specializing in huge portions of fish. It comes pan-fried, grilled or deep-fried with chips, salad and a secret homemade sauce. Slabs of grilled Arctic char are superb, as is the blue-cheese dressing. Stews are the focus at lunchtime.

Expect serve-yourself drinks, to wait and wait some more for service, and saucy backchat from the staff.
