🇨🇦 Yellowknife Food Adventure

🇨🇦 Yellowknife Food Adventure｜Gold Range Bistro Review ——Where Chinese flavors meet Arctic hospitality—— 👨🍳 SERVICE: Finally, Some Warmth! ✅ Owner genuinely cares – patiently explains dishes ✅ No rushed service (unlike other Yellowknife spots) ✅ Actual recommendations based on preferences Comparison: Bullock’s Bistro = "Eat and GTFO" vibe Here = "Would you like tea while deciding?" 🍽️ ATMOSPHERE: Fancy(ish) for Yellowknife 🏨 Located inside Explorer Hotel = cleaner, comfier seats 💡 Lighting that doesn’t feel like an interrogation room 🍛 Plating effort (e.g., wontons arranged like flower petals) ⚠️ Reality Check: "Fancy" here = no duct tape on chairs by local standards 💰 PRICE: Arctic Surcharge Applied Sample Costs: • Sweet & Sour Pork: $22 CAD • Beef Chow Fun: $24 CAD • Wonton Soup: $14 CAD Value Verdict: Portions are 20% smaller but 30% tastier than Red Apple Restaurant 📍 LOCATION: The "Downtown" Advantage 🚶 5-min walk from most hotels 🗺️ Landmark: Next to the giant "Explorer Hotel" sign (hard to miss) 🥢 WHAT TO ORDER 👍 Hits: 1️⃣ Crispy Ginger Beef – Actually crispy! 2️⃣ Shrimp Dumplings – Handmade wrappers 3️⃣ BBQ Pork Fried Rice – Wok hei detectable! 👎 Misses: • "Sichuan" dishes = zero spice (blame northern taste buds) • Spring rolls taste frozen 🌌 AURORA DINING HACK ⏰ Best Time: 6PM (pre-lights) or 10PM (post-lights) 🍜 Combo Move: Order takeout + eat at aurora viewing lodge 🆚 VS.
