| - Having never tried aboriginal food, I don't have a starting point. I'm just a person who loves food prepared well; if you got it, I want it! My partner and I have eaten here twice. I am giving somewhat of a backward review as I'm starting with our second visit. We came back just to eat the salmon sandwich, which has excellent texture and flavour. The salmon has a lovely smokiness without being dry, the bread (fried bannock) has a slight crispiness on the outside while fluffy on the inside (almost like a biscuit), and the mayo, red onion and lettuce are simple but perfect complements.
The first time we ate here, we shared the three sisters soup, I had the salmon plate with wild rice salad on the side, while my partner had the sandwich. Although the soup had corn and beans in it, the third sister (squash) was visibly missing, and the broth was a bit watery and lacking flavour. The salmon on my plate was the same as the sandwich, so no complaints there. The wild rice salad was a little on the sweet side for my taste.
The service is friendly and the venue is quaint, with traditional products near the cash register and decor that reflects the culture. We would go back to try other menu items (or just for the salmon sandwich!).
