Dancing Moose Café - Yellowknife

#12 - Cafés - Yellowknife, #14 - Seafood - Yellowknife, American

The Dancing Moose Cafe, a once-beloved spot for breakfast, seems to have lost its charm according to recent reviews. Complaints about false advertising, mediocre service, and deep-fried dishes have left some customers disappointed. However, others have raved about the delicious food, exceptional wait staff, and pleasant atmosphere. With mixed reviews ranging from excellent coffee and cinnamon buns to overdressed salads, the Dancing Moose Cafe appears to be a hit or miss dining experience. Despite some flaws, the beautiful location and solid menu may still be worth a visit for those looking for a cozy spot with a great view.

Was Lisandro Ruecker at Dancing Moose Café a mag?
I came over this caffe while I explored yellowknife. I asked for some food items of the opposite and they offered the buffalo burger and broccoli cheddar suppe. it was a lot and both were delicious. the server was very nice and the it area is very clean. they can go and see the items for sale and art for sale by local artists. I enjoyed my visit. View all feedback.

What Clodovea Donati dislikes about Dancing Moose Café:
We stopped in to this cafe for a coffee whilst exploring Yellowknife on bikes.The location was lovely, right on the water in the Old Town with a nice deck and picnic tables to enjoy the sunshine (better view than Wildcat).The coffee was well made and the staff were really friendly.The food options looked good, however pricey at an average of $16 for a meal, with standard options including salads, sandwhiches, burgers...
