It is a common problem for visitors to Yellowknife and, even, residents, like shift-workers. What is open during the holidays in Yellowknife in terms of restaurants, bars and coffee shops? We have done our best with the help of the Yellowknife Visitor Centre and the Bite me Yellowknife Facebook group to put together a list of what eateries are open, when.
If there is information we don’t have yet or have it incorrect, just let us know and we’ll change it right away. We will be updating this article, so check it frequently.
