What a lovely restaurant. Food was quite good, service quick and friendly. Impressed with the whole dining experience.

Saxifrage

Cambridge Bay is not an Epicurean paradise, it must be said, and choices are few. Saxifrage, however, is good; not only in relation to the alternatives, but for itself. It is applying for a liquor licence as I write, and I will admit that a glass of wine would have been rather pleasant, but no matter. The food is fairly pedestrian, but well cooked, nicely presented and delicious. Sadly the Mus Ox Burger was off, but an alternative was found and arranged; pasta specials, salads and a few major entrees (steak/ribs) were available, as were some terrific looking deserts. Only drawback? They close at 7.00pm, so get there early.

If you ever travel to the Arctic, restaurant choices are limited at best. The difficulties in obtaining regular deliveries and fresh vegetables make it difficult to maintain quality.Have eaten twice here while in Cambridge Bay, one lunch and one dinner. The menu is the same for both but a noon hour special is often available. In a town of under 1800 people...in the middle of january with -28C temperatures, the warmth of this cafe is genuine. A pleasantly decorated main dining room and an elevated balconey area provide adequate seating but make a reservation ...especially on weekends.They close @ 7 but may have longer hours in mid summer. I had the luncheon special at noon and the fresh lettuce, tomato along with the caesar salad was a fresh change from the fries...available at most places.
