Sunday Brunch in Iqaluit

There are three restaurants in Iqaluit that serve brunch on Sundays:

• Frobisher Inn
• Discovery Lodge
• the Legion

We have been to the Frobisher Inn twice, and today we went to the Discovery. This is an incomplete review as we have not been to the Legion for brunch yet but I shall correct that soon.Aesthetically the Frobisher wins with its windows with a view and linen napkins, whereas the Discovery offers no view and has paper napkins. But we didn't go for the decor, we went to eat and they both win on food. Both have a manned waffle and omelette station and offer a carvery with prime rib.

The Frobisher has a more breakfast vibe with lots of cooked pig, fruit, smoked char, peeled prawns and a massive desert selection. They also have a good range of salads and a number of hot dishes with both meat and fish. We haven't been recently and can't agree on the how much it costs, I think it was $40 each, Blaine says it was $35.


At the Discovery there is more of a lunch focus, with a French twist thanks to the croissants and nutella. Most of the dishes were hot including coconut shrimp, lasagne and stuffed pork tenderloin. There was a cheese selection but no crackers, but that is ok as it left more room! Brunch is from 11am to 2pm and costs $38 each.

I enjoyed both and they offer a great opportunity to eat some fresh fruit and Eat for a whole day. I will be back for more. But first I must check out the Legion...
