The Wildcat Cafe, Heritage log cabin restaurant in Yellowknife, Canada
The Wildcat Cafe features wooden walls, rustic fixtures, and traditional furnishings inside a carefully preserved log cabin structure from the 1930s.
Willie Wylie and Smokey Stout established the Wildcat Cafe in 1937, making it the first restaurant in Yellowknife during the early mining settlement period.
The restaurant walls display numerous historical photographs and artifacts that document the evolution of Yellowknife from a mining camp to a territorial capital.
The restaurant operates during summer months and serves traditional Canadian dishes while maintaining its original layout and architectural features.
In 2011, master builder Rick Muyres conducted a complete reconstruction of the tilting structure, carefully preserving its authentic mining camp appearance.
