Iqaluit Food Guide: 7 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Iqaluit
Canada's newest and northernmost arctic capital incorporates the traditional practices of its native Inuit communities into the fast-growing metropolitan infrastructure. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Nunavut’s Legislative Assembly building in downtown Iqaluit, a 3-story edifice that integrates Inuit motifs in its modern design, or the igloo-shaped Anglican cathedral. Stone monuments like inukshuks and inunnguaqs guide travelers to the spectacular tundra surrounding the city.

Popular with locals, we went for Sunday Brunch and had a great meal. There was a good selection of breakfast, main course, and dessert items available.
Waffles with all the fixings, French toast, pancakes, crepes, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, eggs Benedict, devilled eggs, salads, a hot carve to order station with sirloin beef, Char, pasta, rice, chicken, short ribs, and the list goes on.
There was a nice selection of prepared salads and also salad ingredients to build your own salad to your liking.
Fresh fruits included melon, pineapple, grapes, strawberries and blueberries.
The brunch costs $40 per person and is all you can eat.
This is relatively good value for Iqaluit and is a good option for a meal out.

It was Friday night and the restaurant was very busy but we were accommodated easily and with minimal wait of fuss. Our waiter was pleasant, knowledgable and not over attentive (just right). Food and wine were pricey but well cooked and presented and portions were sufficient but not overly generous (fine by me). Food was cooked and presented in a reasonable time. We also had breakfast and a similar story. Good food well prepared but relatively high dollar.

I liked it so much I went back! This is definitely worth going to. Its close to the airport- and the food was good. I had a mixed shawarma and falafel. Probably the best Kabab in the Artic Circle!

Our group of 12 (in town volunteering for Habitat for Humanity) made a large Takeout order that included many the items on the menu. The chicken, ribs, pizza and most of the sides were all excellent. The only real disappointment were the onion rings which were rather thick and doughey and not very good. The service and was quick and friendly and prices very reasonable. I don't typically give out a rating of 5 unless the place is perfect on all counts, and the onion rings were the deal breaker. I'd be happy to recommend this place to friends, including the next 6 Habitat teams coming this summer.

This place has a wonderfully varied menu, there is something for everyone from pizza and gourmet burgers to delicious entrées and steaks. The staff is professional and quite knowledgeable, the kitchen staff execute the dishes beautifully. I highly recommend this place.
