This restaurant has an extensive Cantonese restaurant with authentic dishes cooked to perfection. It also has a good selection of western food and northern delicacies. Basically, it has something for everyone.

Everyone goes here, lots of locals eating out - there is not a lot of choice but it is real food made by real people. RIckety tables, chairs and floor. Chinese selections are North American versions. Try War Won Ton (large - serves two).

Prime Rib is very good and the steaks were great. the restaurant can get very busy, so make reservations and get there early. The prices are "Northern", so be prepared for a healthy tab at the end of the meal.

I wanted something less mainstream so I went to the Navigator Restaurant. I am thinking it is the only Chinese restaurant in town? Was happy to see that the server was Asian which adds to the authencity of the cuisine. Ordered the Singapore Style Noodles. It cost $26 (including tax). Which seems outrageous when I think in other Canadian cities... More

I love the Nav, but it's starting to show it's age. The staff are great, and the food is inexpensive and greasy, which, if you're going to the Nav, is what you want. But the building itself is falling apart and often smells like the washroom. Sections of the walls are coming down. Saturday morning after a night of drinking,... More

Decent breakfast, expensive, but everything in the area is. Quick service. Friendly workers. Restaurant has an interesting slope like the rest of the hotel.

While on a recent trip we found this to be a good place for breakfast and lunch. Prices are reasonable for a northern town. The building, however, is a bit intimidating as it is literally sinking and coming off its supports. The floor is uneven in many places. As mentioned by others the furniture is worn but this is not... More

This place needs to be condemned. I don't know how public health lets that place stay open. All the floors are not level at all. Tables are always rockin. The bathroom smells like a dead seal is in there.

Ate here one night, food was OK without being exceptional, but you don't go to Iqaluit for a gastronomic break.
