Prospector Steakhouse

Northern Ontario


Appetites beware: you're about to be obliterated. In the historic Bank of Montreal building, hefty carnivorous portions are dished out amid black-and-white scenes of moose carts, animal heads, canoes and ranch-like curios. The infamous prime rib will give your arteries a workout. All mains come with the bottomless salad bar, soup and fresh bread buns.
