This is my second time coming to Inuvik for work, and I finally made it to Alestine's this evening. I ate a fish taco (battered white fish with chipotle sauce and fresh mango coleslaw), along with a poutine and a soda pop. Oh my goodness, it was an amazing taco, very tasty and fresh!! The fries were also homemade. The food definitely had a homemade taste to it. The ambiance was very casual and welcoming, and the service very friendly and quick. You can also choose to had it to go, or eat on site, which includes table service. There is both outdoor and indoor seating. Definitely a must see and eating spot !!!

Holy wow!!! Fantastic quirky little spot. The kitchen is the bus and the tiny house is the dining room. Deck out front and deck up top with a fire ring out back. Fantastic burgers, reindeer chili and delicious delicious poutine.. can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu

What a great find! This small local restaurant has a focused menu with food that so far has been unmatched in Inuvik. There was 8 of us in our group and several different items were ordered from the menu. There were no complaints and we shared a couple of deserts that a perfect end to the meal. Enjoy!

This restaurant is truly unique. The white fish was amazing, the Reindeer was just as delicious as I had hoped, and pairing it with a Yukon Brewing beer was the perfect complement.
