Wildcat Cafe Menu Prices Canada 2026

Wildcat Cafe menu prices in Canada are short and plain. Snacks run $12 to $28. Sides are $10 each. That is the whole published price list I could find, seven lines in all, and I am not going to pad it out with guesses. The Wildcat Cafe is a 1930s log cabin in Old Town Yellowknife, and its official site posts no menu and no prices at all. The figures below come from the business-managed Tripadvisor listing, read on October 27, 2026. One warning first, because it matters more than any price: the 2026 season ended on September 20, 2026. Check the official site before you travel. Do not turn up expecting it to be open.

What Are Wildcat Cafe Menu Prices in Yellowknife?

Wildcat Cafe menu prices come from the business-managed Tripadvisor listing, the Wildcat Cafe Tripadvisor menu listing, which states that someone from the business manages the listing. The same seven priced lines appear on the Tripadvisor .ca, .co.uk and .in mirrors, with CA$ figures on the mirrors outside Canada, so I have treated them as the current published menu. The official site, the Wildcat Cafe official site, publishes the address, hours and season notes, but no menu and no prices, and I am saying that plainly rather than linking it as a price source. The Wildcat Cafe Yellowknife menu is snacks and sides only in what is published. No mains, brunch, dessert or drink prices are published anywhere current. For another northern-style sharing menu to compare, the Feast Cafe Bistro menu prices page covers a Winnipeg bistro with a similar share-first way of eating.

So what is worth the money here? Honestly, the Prospector Platter at $28 is the plate the whole menu seems built around. Trout pastrami, smoked coney, pork rillette, a boiled egg, cheese, house pickles and pilot biscuits, all on one board. That is northern food on a plate, and it reads like a tasting of the place itself. The Scotch Egg at $12 is the cheapest snack by a clear gap, and the Popcorn Pike at $25, with nasturtium hot sauce and tartare, is the one I would order just to see what pike eats like as a snack. And please note what I have left out. I found old review prices for a buffalo burger and other mains from 2010, 2017 and 2018, from earlier operators and earlier seasons. I left every one of them out. They are stale, and a stale price dressed up as current helps nobody. Wildcat Cafe Yellowknife prices, as published today, are these seven lines. Nothing more is claimed.

Wildcat Cafe Menu Card Canada 2026

Here are the seven published prices on one card, snacks and sides only, so you can scan them fast. It is a render of the current published menu lines, not a photo of an in-store board, because no genuine current menu-card photo exists and the official site posts no menu. The full tables above carry every figure on the card, and no mains price is shown because none is published.

What Should You Order at Wildcat Cafe in Yellowknife?

I have not sat at those long communal tables myself, and I will not pretend I have. What I can tell you, from reading the published menu and the 2026 season page in full, is how the place presents itself: finer diner food made from scratch, locally sourced fish and dishes with a northern twist, served on tin camp plates in a historic log cabin with a patio over the water. The local suppliers named on the 2026 season page tell the same story: Yellowknife Urban Farm, Madeline Lake Gardens, Laughing Lichen, Fish on the Bay, Bullocks Bistro, 5 Snares, Sap Sucker Birch Syrup and NWT Brewery. If you go in season, start with the Prospector Platter and share it. Then add the Zucchini Toast at $16. Local zucchini, confit garlic, olive oil, basil. Simple, and in my opinion the kind of dish that shows whether a kitchen actually cooks. For a second fine dining menu built on local and game ingredients, the Edulis menu prices page covers a Toronto restaurant with a similar local-first way of cooking.

Wildcat Cafe Prospector Platter Yellowknife

The Prospector Platter at $28, trout pastrami, smoked coney, pork rillette, boiled egg, cheese, house pickles and pilot biscuits, served on a tin plate in the log cabin. The Wildcat Cafe Prospector Platter price is the highest snack price on the published menu, and the platter is the sharing plate to order first.

A few dishes get named in visitor write-ups with no price attached, and I will name them the same way, with no price and no promise they are on the current menu: French onion soup, bison meatloaf, Hunter’s Pie with braised bison, bannock and jam, and butter birch walnut ice cream. Each comes from an undated summary or an earlier operator season. If you see one of them on the board when you visit, lovely. But the current published menu lists only the snacks and sides above, and none of these dishes carries a published price. Do not trust a price for any of them from an old review. Ask at the cabin. Is it worth planning a Yellowknife evening around seven priced lines? If the cabin, the water and the northern menu are what you came for, yes. If you need a full priced menu before you commit, this is not that place, and at least now you know before you go.

Wildcat Cafe Yellowknife Seasonal Hours and Visiting

The Wildcat Cafe Old Town Yellowknife address is 3507 Wiley Road, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories X1A 2L5, phone +1 (867) 444-7765. The Wildcat Cafe historic log cabin Yellowknife setting is the draw as much as the food: a 1930s log cabin, established in 1937, which Tripadvisor and local reporting call Yellowknife’s oldest restaurant, with long communal-style tables inside and a patio overlooking the water in Old Town. The cafe states it is located on Chief Drygeese territory, traditional land of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation. That is the Wildcat Cafe Yellowknife seasonal pattern in a nutshell: it opens for the summer season and closes for the winter. The 2026 season page says the season was drawing to a close and gives the last week as September 16 to 20, so as of October 27, 2026 the cafe is out of season. No 2027 dates have been published, and none are guessed here. For a second historic bistro room to compare, the Biff’s Bistro menu prices page covers a long-running Toronto bistro with a similar old-room feel.

In season, the official site hours are: Monday and Tuesday closed for prep; Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 12 to 9; Saturday brunch 10 to 2 and 4 to 9; Sunday brunch 10 to 2. Tripadvisor shows slightly different weekend end times, Sunday 10 to 3 and Saturday as one span 10 to 9, so check the official site before you go rather than trusting either listing blindly. There are no reservations. The official site states it plainly: no reservation, first come, first served. For Wildcat Cafe brunch Yellowknife visitors, that means turning up for the Saturday or Sunday brunch window and joining the line, not booking ahead. Tripadvisor lists lunch, dinner, brunch and drinks, vegetarian friendly options, a full bar, outdoor seating, takeout and alcohol service. No kids menu, delivery service or catering is claimed here, because none is published. The listing also shows 246 Tripadvisor reviews and a Travellers’ Choice award. No star score is printed here, because no settled star score was shown in the listing text I read.

One last point, because it matters. This article is about one restaurant only: Wildcat Cafe, 3507 Wiley Road, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, in Canadian dollars. No second location was found. Every price above comes from the business-managed Tripadvisor listing read on October 27, 2026, because the official site posts no prices. If you see a Wildcat Cafe price somewhere else, check it against that listing and the official site before you trust it, and check the season first. A perfect menu means nothing if the cabin is closed for winter.

Prices last verified: October 27, 2026, from the business-managed Tripadvisor listing for Wildcat Cafe, 3507 Wiley Road, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
