Best Restaurants Open for Christmas Dinner this year in Dawson City – 2024

Great spot in Dawson City. Super friendly staff and quick service.

Good option if you are felling like pub food. Gluten free options like hamburger buns and the hamburgers don't have breadcrumbs inside. Great view from the patio onto the street. Good place to relax and take it all in. If you are here for a couple of days I would suggest passing by and trying them out. Good service and with a smile.

Very nice place to stay new an clean rooms

Great local singer, super friendly and fun ambiance. Sat down and were immediately included in the group next to us. Great place for an affordable drink. Really enjoyed it!

My ideal kind of bar. Total dive but nice. Bartender was awesome, prices were great, and truly a locals spot. Felt super comfy here and would happily return.

If you want to experience local vibe, this is where you go. Nothing fancy, the floor is sinking, the walls cover in stains and history, in short, not the cleanest place on earth, but people are having their best time. We ordered two shots of whiskey before we called it the night, both glasses flowed with a dead fly. Not sure if it’s their signature or simply unsanitary, we swallowed the flies with the liquor like we were doing the sour toe challenge

I was in Dawson City for a small wedding on August 14th (yes, I'm super slow doing my reviews but better late than never they say) & one of the planned activities was the Sour Toe Shot. Unfortunately, the captain was not in that night. However, the staff made accommodations & allowed us time for each wedding guest to get the opportunity to do the acclaimed shot! But our only option was the Yukon Jack whiskey... which was perfectly acceptable. I was a bit worried about shooting straight whiskey, honestly. But it turns out I shouldn't have been. It is DELICIOUS & doesn't "burn" at all like I expected it to. It's more a sweet taste, like a liqueur (I'll post a picture of the bottle). The toe is a bit "gnarly," though. It's black. And it doesn't look like a toe (it kinda looks like a dried up cat turd). But whatever, when in Rome....(or Dawson City).... I'm really glad I did the shot. It's a part of the whole Dawson City experience. I would recommend taking the time to do it! AND you get a certificate you can take home & frame. PS. Aug 14, 2024, we paid $16 per shot of Yukon Jack + the experience. We did not dine at this location, so I can't comment on the food. I already had my rental car parked at this location as I was staying at the Downtown.

We had 52 guest come in @ 3 pm today ( open up late) to do your sour toe drink challenge. We were told they were going to explain how they originally decided to do the toe. Instead took everyone shot order then money and made them stand in corner & capt. complained if we took a photo. The real kicker is we order two Tito’s vodka & tonic ( out of tonic) Then our vodka cranberry was weak. We went to get another drink only to be told another group is waiting no more drinks. I will not recommend this place & hope you enjoyed our donations! ( fyi $10 for a fermented toe, $10 for a shot. All to be done in corner & no crowd interaction). The capt wouldn’t even take our group photo with the ( flash was off). Disappointed Save your money and enjoy somewhere else! strictly a money pit! I will NOT be back!

This place is super hyped, but it’s worth it. Great vibe and fun experience. Good food and very nice service. The nachos were great - would definitely recommend.

Ordered breakfast from here on a couple of occasions during our stay in Dawson. Not only was the food and drinks we ordered quite good, but the owner was very friendly. When he saw that I was interested in the wooly mammoth fossil on the wall that is thought to be 20,000 years old, he came to our table and told me the story behind the discovery.

This tiny restaurant stated that “we love surviving Dawson City”. It is true that they only love to serve Dawson City, not tourist. This morning we went to it for a simple breakfast. I was the latest one to enter the restaurant amount three of us. My partners already ordered breakfast for me and the foods were on the table. I directly walked to the service counter and asked for some hot water. They charged me for a dollar for a bottle of hot water plus tax. I told them I already spent over 45 dollars just on my table of three people. They said I used the machine to make hot water. And later on said that i used the service of the girls. The owner said that if you go to any restaurant everything is for a cost. I should pay tips for the service. We already paid 5 dollars tip for the ford we bought. This is a fast food style restaurant. They simply present you with the premade food. They don’t have any service at all. After all, they charged the so call tips to the girl with tax!!!! That’s totally ridiculous. Whole my life I go any restaurant to consume and I never asked for fees for a cup of hot water. This restaurant is the first one to claim a cup of hot water bearing cost after customer paid over 45 dollars services. The owner forgot that we are staying here for two days and will return from Arctic Ocean for another day. He lost two more 45 dollars of business for a dollar hot water.

Wonderful local cafe serving the best coffee & best breakfast in Dawson City, and it’s super popular too with both locals and tourists alike. Great for eat-in and take away. All the amazing sandwiches, panini, croissants, cookies and muffins are all made fresh daily - the owner starts baking & making them all at 3am daily. The Montreal Bun (similar to a Rueben) is just sensational. As is the Breakfast Croissant. And make sure you take a White Choc Macadamia Cookie away with you too - so delicious! Freshly brewed coffee and crafted espresso beverages are all excellent. If there’s a queue don’t worry it moves pretty fast, plus it’s definitely well worth the wait! There’s a large decked seating area at the front and down the side, and some indoor seating too. The walls are adorned with local art which is for sale. Staff are super friendly and lovely. Highly recommended!

Damn good pizza. We had the Philly style pie. The staff are awesome, friendly and brought the whole experience together. I will definitely be coming back. Well.... Sometime.

Well lit out front, which is helpful for a visitor because it was the only place open for us to get a meal The collection inside is awesome! Love to see it Food was delicious. The pizza had great flavour and the perogies were perfectly done Would definitely eat here again

Always a great spot for a quick bite. Pizza is always delicious, service is fantastic! The fact they are open until midnight also is unreal for a late night snack.

Best food we had in Dawson and best meat we had in the north! Cute little Jamaican-style restaurant, very clean, with amazing and quick service and friendly staff. The jerked chicken was super tender and delicious. Would absolutely recommend and come back anytime!!

Incredible food! It was such a pleasant surprise finding such great Jamaican food here in Dawson City, but we’re very happy we did! Both my friend and I were very happy with our meals, and we’re grateful to Nico for his warm hospitality

What an amazing place! The chicken and pork were our favorites. They are so good that a group booked the entire restaurant for 5 days. When they reopen to the public and you are in the area, you must stop!!!!!

After a very long trip, having some delicious food was amazing. We had 6 in our party and everyone loved the food. I’m vegan and they accommodated well.

LOCATION is in a mint green building in between downtown hotel and midnight sun hotel, with “The Central” written on top. (Please see pic attached, as there’s no official restaurant name that can be seen) Good enough Chinese food for when you’ve had too much burger and fries.

Since moving to Dawson city I have gotten sick twice and their wall wonton soup has single handedly revived me. It is the perfect soup with lots of veggies and good protein for the cold dry weather up here.

The cook is extremely rude and refuses any special orders. I have an intolerance to one of the toppings on his sandwiches, and when I asked for a sandwich without said topping, he goes: "No, you get it the way I make it, I make NO exceptions."

The Service is extremely rude. The man who is making sandwiches does not wear gloves which makes it difficult to tolerate especially nowadays with high risk of spreading viruses and bacteria. Instead of wearing gloves his response was “ you can make your own sandwich!” Not a very good business move. I would not recommend this place.

Great sandwiches everyday. Service is prompt and friendly, bread is high quality. Favorite breakfast place in town for sure.

Went here for penultimate dinner on the last night of our Holland America Cruise Tour. Fully booked so had to book the day before. Best meal on the trip. As good as speciality dining on the Ship. Do go.

Okay, so.... I wish I had some pictures to share, but I don't. Well, maybe 1 or 2. My son's wedding dinner was at this restaurant. They booked the entire place for their wedding meal. It could not have been more PERFECT! The meal was served family style. 5 courses. $45 per person. It was worth every penny. Every dish was to die for. The staff was so accommodating. Friendly. Attentive. The atmosphere is nice. Quaint. There were approximately 20 adults (give or take) as well as 5 children all under the age of 5. They went out of their way to have something special for the kids! Little charcuterie cups! So cute! They have a good wine selection & the cocktails are not only delicious but quite beautiful! I cannot say enough good things about this place! They use local ingredients, which I think is amazing! Don't let the outside appearance of the establishment fool you. It is quite an unexpected upscale dining experience. Everything is plated beautifully & so full of flavor. Just go there. Probably now would be good.

We ate at the Bonton two years ago when we were in town on a trip and it was so incredible that when we decided plan our elopement/small wedding in Dawson City, it was a priority of ours to include dinner at the Bonton in the itinerary. Everything was absolutely incredible - the team was very communicative and incredibly easy to plan the private booking with and everything was very appropriately priced. The team did a fabulous job setting up the restaurant for our booking so we did not have any need to bring in our own decor - the ambience alone is perfect to begin with. The food for our event was absolutely incredible and there was such a reasonable amount. We did family style with a set menu and all of our guests left feeling incredibly satisfied. The drink menu is also perfection. When we first decided to eat at the Bonton 2 years ago, we read a review that this was the best restaurant in Canada. We were in full agreement with this 2 years ago and that has not changed in the slightest. If anything, the menu, team, and atmosphere at the Bonton without question has this restaurant in one of our top 5 through all of our international travels. It is without question a place that you must check out while in Dawson City.

Huge hearty pizzas which are delicious. Had pizza from here a few times and the service was excellent. No fuss and high quality food I was very impressed and would highly reccomend.

Popped by because the restaurants in town were all slammed. Can't gauge the atmosphere because it's a take-out joint. Not the best pizza I've ever had, but it was delicious all the same. Eating it put a smile on my face, which gives them 5 stars by itself. Will eat here again if I'm ever back.

Rip off. This place doesn't have their prices listed on their menu to try and hide it before you order. I asked him to show me the price list before I ordered and he made a big deal out of trying to find it in the store. When I saw his outrageous prices I just laughed and left. Feel bad for all the tourists who order first without checking what the actual price is.
