Klondike Rib & Salmon
Housed in two of the oldest active buildings in Whitehorse, serving halibut fish and chips, bison, and smoked meats during the summer season.
Located at 2116 2nd Avenue, this restaurant occupies two of the oldest still-in-use buildings in the city and was featured on the Food Network show "You Gotta Eat Here!". It specializes in smoked meats, wild game like bison and elk, and homemade bread. The halibut fish and chips has the most consistent reputation, and sourdough bread pudding is a popular dessert, while reviews for the ribs and salmon are more mixed. They do not accept reservations, so expect to queue during the peak season. Following the departure of the old owner in 2023, the restaurant reopened under new management, with some reviews suggesting the quality is not quite what it used to be. Expect to spend around 30–60 CAD per person. It is within walking distance of the city center.
