Lazy Bear Cafe

Top choice in Churchill


Serving elk, Arctic char and bison, augmented with local berries and mushrooms, this restaurant acquaints you with Manitoba's wild ingredients. Lunchtime mains include epic burgers. Creative vegetarian specials make a daily appearance and this is the only place in town with an espresso machine. On a cold day, pick a spot by the stone fireplace.
