🇨🇦 Whitehorse’s Fanciest Chain Restaurant? Earls Review! When you’re craving consistent, upscale-ish comfort food in the Yukon wilderness, Earls delivers—with a side of trendy vibes and strong cocktails. But is it worth the hype? Let’s break it down. 📍 The Basics Name: Earls Kitchen + Bar (The "fancy" sibling of Joey & Cactus Club!) Address: 9016 Quartz Rd (Inside the "fancy" part of Whitehorse—aka, near a Walmart!) Hours: • Mon-Thu & Sun: 11:30 AM - 8 PM (Early closures—Yukoners need sleep!) • Fri-Sat: 11:30 AM - 10 PM (Weekend date night spot!) Vibe: Polished cabin chic—think Edison bulbs, reclaimed wood, and flannel-clad servers. 🍽️ MUST-TRY DISHES 1️⃣ Crispy Tofu Sushi Tacos – $13.50 🌮🍣 • Three mini tacos stuffed with: • Crispy tofu (actually crunchy!) • Shiso mayo (herby & fresh) • Pickled ginger (weird but works!) • Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Great for sharing, but tiny!) 2️⃣ Chipotle Calamari – $19.75 🦑🔥 • Tender squid tossed in smoky chipotle glaze • Served with: Shaved veggie slaw + lime wedges • Pro Tip: Ask for extra lime—it cuts the richness! 3️⃣ Not Pictured But Famous: • Thai Green Curry Bowl ($22) – Yukon’s best "fake Thai" dish • Parmesan Truffle Fries ($12) – Addictive (blame the truffle aioli!) 🍸 COCKTAIL HIGHLIGHTS • Yukon Mule ($14) – Local vodka + ginger beer in a copper mug • Earls Caesar ($13) – Comes with pickled beans & pepperoni stick (very Canadian!) 💡 WHY IT’S A WHITEHORSE STAPLE ✅ Reliable: Same menu as Vancouver = no surprises ✅ Gluten-Free Options: Clearly marked (rare up here!) ✅ Happy Hour (3-6 PM): Half-price apps + $5 beers 📸 INSTAGRAM MOMENTS 1️⃣ Sushi taco close-up ( 2️⃣ Cocktail toast with mountain views 3️⃣ "I survived Yukon winter" selfie by the fireplace ⚠️ HONEST NOTES • Prices = Steep: $20 for calamari? Blame the Arctic supply chain. • Portions = Small: Share plates or order double fries • Service = Hit/Miss: Some servers are Yukon-friendly, others are big-city rushed #EarlsInTheArctic #WhitehorseEats#FusionFood
