I recommend this place because I love their dark & stormy's, the fried lemon halloumi , the duck poutine, and because Nokomis ale is on tap. Heaven. It's tiny & fills up fast, so grab a table!

The food is kinda gross, but if you like brunch and 50's diners, it's kinda cool. I like sitting at the malt bar which is great for when dining alone and want to read the paper, or for people watching.

Brunch, brunch, & more brunch. Get there right at 11 or wait forever for a table. Try the breakfast poutine, the bannock & jam, the rosti, & the cured trout benedict. In the evening, check out their great patio and food/drink specials. On Sunday's, go upstairs to Goldie's General Store, open from 11-3. Goldie's carries a wide variety of handmade items, vintage, preserves to antique housewares. A little of everything and nothing specific.

The worst-named pub ever? The food is pretty good though, and decently priced, and they have occasional singer/song writer nights that some friends play at. If you have a beard, be prepared to feel self-concious.

This head-to-tail Italian-style restaurant is my favourite in Saskatoon. Expect excellent presentation and flavour, locally sourced ingredients, paired with delicious wine and beer options. Try the fried bread and olives to start, and the tagliatelle with pork, or the beef heart bolognese. Portions are small(ish), but thankfully leave room for desert!
