The Roost Restaurant
The Roost & The Backroom
A downtown fixture open for more than thirty years, said to be Inuvik's first Chinese restaurant, serving Chinese dishes, pizza and burgers.
The Roost is on Mackenzie Road, the main street, and has been open for more than thirty years. It is a casual, home-style favorite with locals and is said to be Inuvik's first Chinese restaurant. The menu is wide-ranging, with Chinese stir-fries, steaks, pizza, burgers, pasta and Turkish doner wraps. Reviewers praise the burgers, while some feel the pizza is overpriced. It is open seven days a week until late and offers dine-in, takeout and delivery. The decor is simple, and prices are at northern levels.
