We were told it would be a 20 minute wait for a table and it ended up being closer to 1 hour. It was completely worth it! Their roasted cauliflower was delightfully savoury (loved the tahini sesame butter). Their arctic char tacos were also the best tacos I’ve ever had! To top it off, we got to enjoy the fresh air and sun while sitting on their patio, and marvel at their handmade glassware from the next-door glassblowing studio. What a special restaurant in Whitehorse!

Sooo in love with the interiors and the vibe, kept coming back! Tried out their matcha latte and vanilla sweet latte which was the bomb! We also got Cazuela, a brisket served with soft tortilla wraps. Perfect for a good meal before or even during drinks!

Our favorite restaurant we tried in whitehorse! The tacos were amazing and huge! Tried the coconut shrimp and avocado tacos and LOVED them. If they were open for dinner Saturday/Sunday/Monday we would have gone every day. Definitely recommend!

I almost don't want to review this place, because I want to keep it a secret. May be the best restaurant in Whitehorse. I mean this seriously. They are not pretentious, the Staff is kind, receptive and happy. They actually seem to like working there. The food is simple yet delicious. The Birra Tacos to die for. GET THEM! They have the right combination: Great happy service, simple good food but made fresh and with care and quality and priced accordingly. Nothing more and nothing less. This is how you do it Whitehorse. Many restaurants could learn a thing or two from them. The place is small, but opens up in the summer to a large patio. I've said too much. Now I'll never get in!

We were in town from London, Ontario to visit a friend and visited this little gem for lunch. Who would expect such a great place inside a glass studio? The place has a large assortment of beer, including some from the local brewery. The menu is also pretty diverse and there is definitely something for everyone (not just tacos ). What is most special is all the containers they use, I have not confirmed but it looks like they are all hand made in the studio. Definitely a good place to hang out with friends if you are in town, it does get busy so be sure to call ahead for a table.

Stopped in here on a Saturday evening. They took our name/number to call when a table opened. They called us after not too long to let us know they ran out of food. We were still able to come back and get a couple drinks which were amazing. They were served in blown glass glasses from next door which were awesome. And you can buy chips/salsa to take home. We did get one of the cheese pastries and it was super yummy. Can't wait to go back and try some more.

Absolutely delicious tacos and beer! Fun ambiance, and love that they use all the glassware from Lumel. Portions were huge. We got there early on a Saturday night and it was definitely full with people waiting.

The food is always great here. Crispiest halibut burger I’ve ever eaten. The toppings are delicious. Its needs a lettuce barrier between the fish and toppings tho, to keep the fish crispy, imo. Otherwise amazing. Love the cocktail menu, I had two with lunch, both delicious. Excellent fries as well! Also love being able to bring my pup on the deck. Often we are bringing them up from the communities for vet appointments and, it’s awesome not to have to leave them in the hot car.
