Kuugaq Cafe

Top choice in Nunavut


This unexpectedly gourmet spot is the community meeting place and most popular dining venue in town, courtesy of good old Canadian favorites (pulled-pork poutine), Northern flavors (musk-ox chili, musk-ox burgers, char chowder) and global touches, courtesy of one of the owners, who happens to be Trinidadian. There's good coffee, local art on walls, and an air of happy anticipation.
