Alestine's Restaurant
Alestine's
Inuvik's highest-rated small restaurant, with its kitchen in a retired school bus, famous for its crispy fish tacos and bison burgers.
Alestine's is on Franklin Road near the Happy Valley campground and is run by Pam and Brian McDonald. The dining cabin seats only about 12 to 20 people, and the kitchen is in an old school bus next door. In summer, the rooftop terrace overlooks the Mackenzie Delta. Signature dishes include crispy whitefish tacos (with curry or Mexican chili sauce), fish and chips, bison burgers and gravy fries. It serves dinner only, with limited seating, so calling ahead is recommended. Some reviews note that it accepts only cash or electronic transfers and is sometimes closed for long periods, so check before you go.
Opening hours
About 17:00–20:00 (sometimes closed; please call to confirm)
