Granite Room
The Granite Room (Discovery Hotel)
A French-style restaurant inside the Discovery Hotel, serving Arctic char and caribou. Widely regarded as Iqaluit's best full-service restaurant.
Located inside the Discovery Hotel, the Granite Room has long ranked first or second among Iqaluit restaurants on TripAdvisor and is recommended by Lonely Planet. The dishes have a French touch and often feature Arctic char and caribou, with occasional musk ox. Roast Arctic char with mango salsa, the black pepper Arctic char burger and smoked Arctic char eggs Benedict are all well reviewed. The Sunday buffet brunch is good value. Ingredients are flown in, so prices are high, about CAD 60–100 per person. Service can be slow at busy times, so book dinner ahead.
