Belly of the Bison — Restaurant in Whitehorse

Belly of the Bison: A Yukon Gem! Review by a Puertorrican Foodie

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Whitehorse, look no further than Belly of the Bison! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and exceptional service. Our server, Lovie Padilla, truly deserves 5 stars on his own. His recommendations were spot-on, perfectly capturing the essence of the restaurant's menu.

We started with the French Onion Soup and the Crispy Beet & Burrata Salad, both recommended by Lovie. The soup was rich and flavorful, with perfectly caramelized onions and a satisfyingly cheesy top. The salad was a delightful explosion of textures and tastes - the crispy beets perfectly balanced the creamy burrata and the tangy dressing.

For our entrees, we followed Lovie's guidance and tried the Alaskan Sockeye Salmon and the Bison Bolognese. The salmon was cooked to perfection, flaky and moist, and the accompanying sides were a delicious complement. The Bison Bolognese was a revelation - hearty, flavorful, and unlike any bolognese I've ever had.

To top off the evening, we shared a Chia Creme Brulee. This unique dessert was a delightful surprise, with a perfectly caramelized sugar crust and a smooth, creamy chia pudding base.

Overall, Belly of the Bison exceeded our expectations on every level. The food was exceptional, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. A special thanks again to Lovie for his outstanding recommendations and service. We will definitely be back the next time we're...

Nestled in the heart of Whitehorse, Belly of the Bison offers an exquisite dining experience, effortlessly merging elegance with simplicity in its comfort food offerings. This culinary gem encapsulates the essence of modern Canadian cuisine, an embodiment of both sophistication and homeliness.

My gastronomic journey commenced with the Crispy Beet & Burrata Salad, a masterful medley of earthy beetroot and creamy burrata that primed my palate for the adventure ahead. The Elk Roulade, the pièce de résistance, was a culinary tour de force. Each bite showcased the restaurant's devotion to excellence, a testament to the meticulous preparation and seasoned culinary acumen.

Additionally, the Alaskan Sockeye Salmon and the Bison Bolognese, ordered by others at our table, were met with resounding approval. The freshness of the ingredients was evident, painting a clear picture of the attention to detail inherent in the preparation of each dish.

Service at Belly of the Bison is in a league of its own. The staff anticipated our needs with a warm, congenial demeanor, ensuring a cozy, inviting atmosphere that made us feel at home.

From our initial reservation to the final course, Belly of the Bison exceeded expectations. It's clear that the team here puts their heart into crafting an experience that's as memorable as the food itself. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant for a distinguished yet comforting culinary experience...

Went to this restaurant because others were closed due to the Discovery holiday. It was very busy. 2 of us were dining. We waited over 20 mins for our drinks, which were just a couple of beers. We ordered a couple of mains at the same time. I also ordered a glass of red wine to come out with my meal, which was the ek roulade. After quite some time our main courses finally arrived. The presentation looked great. The wine did NOT come with my meal. I started into the elk roulade, which tasted like terrible unseasoned dry meat loaf. The sauce was few and far between, and the wine was MIA... My colleague thoroughly enjoyed his burger, though, so there is that. The poor waiter was stressed out. I had to get up and search for my glass of wine so I could at least try to choke down this overpriced pile of saw dust. I finally found my waiter who unceremoniously dropped off the wine and quickly delivered other drinks to patrons with little to no apologies for the late delivery of the wine. This place is a joke factory, in my opinion. I personally spent $83 dollars (with tip) for a flat beer, a popcorn fart of a roulade with little to no flavour and $21 glass of domestic mediocre Pino noir. Sorry guys, but I will...
