Reader Question: Will the Wildcat Cafe be open for Summer 2012?

By on November 27, 2011 in City

Gary asked:

Is the Wildcat Cafe back in business? I am planning a trip to Yellowknife late July/early August and was hoping to eat at the Wildcat with some friends.

Yes the Wildcat Cafe is planned to be reopening for the Summer 2012. CBC North did an article about a year ago talking about the current renovations, which happen to be the 2nd renovation in its history.

Javaroma WiFi is Back

By on October 22, 2009 in Cafes, City

This morning I sent out a message saying that Javaroma WiFi was back. At the time I had no idea how truthful that was so I wanted to check for myself.

Upon arriving at Javaroma just after lunch I was greeted by the manager, who I knew. I asked him if the rumors were true, was WiFi really back. Sure enough he said with a smile, it was. My next question was the one I cared about more, price. Months ago when WiFi was first taken out I suggested that they charge for it to discourage people from abusing the service, later I changed my outlook. The proper way to do it would be to continue offering the service for free but with limitations. Such as no downloading.

Well that is exactly what Javaroma has now done. Now, I unfortunately didn’t stay long enough to test it out, but was told that there would be no downloading only browsing online. Which is fine by me, what ever keeps the costs down while making customers happy.

So Yellowknifers who enjoy getting out of the office or house to do some relaxing internet browsing you are once again able to.

Are you going to take advantage of the free WiFi? Well if you do, I’ll see you there!

Breakfast at The Bushpilot Cafe

By on June 28, 2009 in Restaurants

On Friday I had to be at the airport to pick up some people coming to Yellowknife for a week so I thought it would be a good opportunity to try out the newly opened Bushpilot Cafe.

I was told the prices would be a bit more expensive than the old Airport restaurant and I was half expecting them to be as it is owned by Chef Pierre, whose restaurants normally have a higher class. But upon arriving and looking at the menu I was satisfied with the prices and found them acceptable.

Like the old restaurant the breakfast menu isn’t that large of selection so I decided to go all out and get the Bushpilot Breakfast. The price seemed reasonable for what I was going to get.

At $11.95 for the Bushpilot Breakfast I got 3 eggs however I liked, 2 pieces of toast, hashbrowns, 2 sausages, 2 pieces of bacon, 2 slices of ham, a bit of fruit and 2 damn good blue berry pancakes. As you can see it was so much food, they gave it to me on two plates.

The food was excellent to my standards, which are not very high at the moment when it comes to breakfast foods. Considering I love breakfasts such as this one, I would recommend this over other diner breakfasts in town. Although I never normally get this much food and had a hard time finishing it, I felt I got my moneys worth. Mind you I didn’t have a close look at the menu to compare the other prices but this was the most expensive breakfast item. You could almost consider this a meal for two and having the two plates makes it easy to share.

In all I liked the food and being able to watch the planes from through the window is just a bonus to add to the atmosphere. So if you like good breakfast food or are a fan of diner food, I definitly recommend you go check out the Bushman Pilot Cafe
