Bullock's Bistro
A legendary fish eatery by the Back Bay in Old Town, famous for Great Slave Lake fresh fish and bison meat, and one of the most reviewed restaurants in Yellowknife.
Located in a historic building on Weaver Drive in Old Town, close to Back Bay. The highlights are fresh fish from Great Slave Lake, such as cod, lake trout, and whitefish, which can be deep-fried, pan-fried, or grilled. They also serve fish chowder, bison stew, and bison ribeye steak. Portions are large but prices are on the higher side, with fish and chips costing around 32–49 CAD. It is often busy during peak hours, and some diners have noted a dining time limit, slow service, and that certain dishes may sell out, so calling ahead is recommended. You can take a taxi or walk to Old Town from the city center.
