This is not a simple gift shop with cafe. Ok, the food is excellent and the coffee are also amazing. Nothing beats a hot mocha in a cold day in Yellowknife. The gift shop also has lots of good stuff to buy, many designed by local artists. The best thing is the kicksled and ice cave tour. The kicksled is so exciting and amazing. Way better than just regular dog sledding. The tour will take you on the kicksled pulled by two dogs per person, going across a frozen lake. Then a short hike to a huge frozen ice water fall. Then you will ride the kicksled back. One of the best winter activities you can do in Yellowknife. The tour guides are super friendly. Highly recommended.

Cute quaint spot. Got the date scone which was good. They also have a small corner shop which sells a bunch of cute stuff.

Their food is delicious. We had brisket at lunch one day. So tender and flavorful. We had an evening meal from their tapas menu. So impressed. It was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The service was great. Well done Sundog Trading Post. Definitely will come back

Cute local cafe with handmade fresh options. They also have a full bar service and very reasonable pricing compared to the other few good places in Yellowknife. Definitely try their cheese platter and Focaccia Bread. Must visit for when visiting the town. Could get busy during the weekends but it's sufficient seating and service staff available. Also the service is quick and efficient. Loved the place way more than the other popular Bullocks Bistro with very limited food options. They both however are very different with the options they offer. Definitely try their ice cream with Birch Syrup for purchase.

We had a good time to experience snow shoes in the trails. The view from the hill was incredible. Thanks for showing us such a special place. The food at the restaurant was also delicious. Ice cream was homemade which tasted VERY nice! Big recommend!!

Came here first to grab a coffee and I ended up returning as I quickly realized that this is a hidden gem for dinner. They have a lovely tapas selection and its a refreshing offer into Yellowknife'food scene. Their team is very friendly! Coffee and ice cream were also good.

This cozy local café in Yellowknife is a bit far from downtown, so I took a taxi to get there. The atmosphere made me feel like I had stepped into a scene from a Canadian drama—it was so authentic and charming. The food and coffee were delicious, and I’d love to visit again💗

We went dog sledding, and it was an amazing experience! The dogs were full of energy sometimes is hard to control but they’re absolutely adorable angels 🥺. Our French guide, Steven (sorry if I got the spelling wrong!), was very kind and made the experience even better. Big shoutout to Steven! Also, the Sun Dog ice cream? So good! The waffle cone was the best part. The meal itself was just okay, but the roasted potatoes were delicious!
