Bullocks Bistro
A fish house in the old town with walls covered in visitors' messages, serving fish caught that day in Great Slave Lake, including whitefish, trout and pike, fried, deep-fried or grilled. It is one of Yellowknife's best-known restaurants.
The restaurant is small, and its walls and ceiling are covered with signatures and messages from visitors from around the world. The signature dish is fish caught that day in Great Slave Lake, which can be pan-fried, deep-fried or grilled, served with fries and salad. There are also bison and reindeer dishes. Portions are generous, but prices are on the high side (main courses from about 40 CAD), there are few seats, and in peak season dinner often involves a wait. The owner is known for a frank, no-nonsense style. It is about a 15-minute walk from downtown.
