Wanuskewin Heritage Park Restaurant

Our meal at Wanuskewin was amazing! My wife and I split the hot elk bannock plate, the bison poutine, and the Thai curry soup of the day. We loved the flavor of the bison poutine the most and the soup was a nice surprise. The sarsaparilla root soda and the peach tea were excellent as well! We will be back

I am making this review for my Kohkum/Grandma on her behalf, and I asked for permission. She visited Wanuskewin Heritage Park about a month ago and I can’t remember why, but it was something for our reserve (Mosquito First Nation) Anyway, she said she had a good time in the restaurant, the food was delicious, and a nice young man with a bandana helped my kohkum to her needs and when she couldn’t say properly anything in English, she said it in Cree and he understood it. She said “there’s this handsome young man that spoke and understood Cree, not many kids nowadays speak or understand” she was happy, she said she went in the next day and he was there and helped her again. My uncle was there too, and she was raving to him about how the young man spoke/understood Cree. She had the duck soup, said it was tasted good, she liked the bannock too. She said if she didn’t live so far she’d go there all the time. It’s very rare you see someone who speaks our language at a restaurant and can accommodate us when in need. Thank you Wanuskewin Heritage Park, and thank you to the young man

A great place to visit and learn the history of the local indigenous community. Either inside or outside, it was well maintained. Staffs were friendly. There are several trails that you can easily spend a few hours. Kid-friendly too.

Ordered the stew. Advertised as “fresh” but when we asked about it they said it was made in big batches and frozen. Not fresh at all. Would not recommend this restaurant. Also, it was VERY salty. 👎 drove all the way from Moose Jaw and brought my family here from Toronto. Very disappointed. Workers did nothing for us.

Very educational with something for all ages. It was a hot summer day so we didn't spend too much time on the trails. What we walked provided lovely views.

As one could expect with any museum, food can be pricy but it was not bad at all. Everyone got the Bison burger but there's also a plant-based option. The bannock "bread" is a good option together with a nice hot drink after you've been out hiking in the winter.

I am from Toronto and drove all the way from Moose Jaw to come and have lunch here as it said "made fresh" on the website. It was disgusting, the workers confirmed that it was frozen Not fresh. When I expressed my disappointment they would not do anything for us as they claim the manager was not in. STAY AWAY!!! This is a cafeteria not a restaurant and the workers were rude!

Great place to get some Indigenous cuisine or a quick snack after a hike around the park. Seating area is clean and sleek. Service is friendly.

This is a simple restaurant with an important mission, to serve the food of the local people, culture and community. I arrived a bit later than hoped and the park was closing for an event, but I quickly ordered a bison stew. It was delicious, the service was helpful and the view of the courtyard let me soak in the atmosphere before I walked the trails outside. From some of the reviews one might imagine this to be haute cuisine with gold rimmed plates and a quartet of synchronized waiters, but it's not. It's thoughtfully and carefully prepared food served at simple tables just inside the museum entrance. Eating here adds to the experience of visiting this exceptional culturally comprehensive (tentative) world heritage site.

Nice clean restaurant with offerings you won't find in most places. They're located within the heritage center but you don't have to pay admission to get in. Lots of parking and you may have to pay extra for that, which seems kind of a cheesy tactic, but we were exempt. The food was great though and we tried the bison burger with fries, and a wild rice berry salad, followed up with a scoop of ice cream with Saskatoon berry sauce. No complaints about the food and service. There's a view of the outdoor patio and the parking lot. Four stars because they close so early, and the questionable parking fee. If I lived here I'd go back to eat if there was no parking fee.
