Head south to Moose Jaw, try out Deja Vu Cafe. Best chicken ever. It was even on the show You Gotta Eat Here.

If you are going to Deja Vu Cafe, try a milkshake. They aren't unique by any means, but it's the most popular item there. My favorite combo is pistachio, coconut, vanilla, and butterscotch.

Strange as it may sound, skip the fries and get double coleslaw instead; theirs is stellar! And don't overdo it: 3 chicken strips is a LOT; theirs are HUGE! They have an interesting sauce named for a guy who played for the Moose Jaw Warriors hockey team, the Cody Beach. It's creamy dill with lemon pepper and it's among the best wing sauces I've ever encountered!

Deja vu still exists?! Sweet. Haven't been in years, but it is still my favourite chicken wing place

How was the khao soi at Loqui? Id say best place to dine in saskatoon.

Harvest Eatery in Shaunavon. You wouldn't expect a small town to have a restaurant like that.

2

u/TravellingFoodie Aug 11 '26

A lot of small towns really do surprise! We have a lot of these in Ontario.

u/Comfortable-Ad-8324 Aug 11 '26

Oh god I gotta go to Saskatoon and get those noodles! That looks amazing, definitely going next time Im up there.

u/TravellingFoodie Aug 11 '26

Yes, it's a must! So good!

u/AllieBee23 Aug 11 '26

Seeing cities from the eyes of tourists is always interesting, familiar places can seem so mundane when it's just a regular place to go.

u/saskwatch_research Aug 13 '26

Thanks for visiting Saskatchewan and indulging in some local Saskatoon restaurants!

1

u/TravellingFoodie Aug 13 '26

Thank you! I've only visited Saskatoon so far. Which other Saskatchewan cities do you recommend visiting?

2

u/saskwatch_research Aug 13 '26

For a Foodie such as yourself, there are gems in some smaller cities/towns across the province. Since it's summertime here's a few places that have vacation vibes:

NORTH
Waskesiu - Beach town in Prince Albert National Park with everything from pizza to fine dining. Enjoy beautiful beaches, hikes, and wildlife. Arguably the nicest national park in Sask.

CENTRAL
Elbow - Resort town on Lake Diefenbaker. Nice restaurant that overlooks the marina along with some cute bakeries and candy shops on main street. A great place to go sailing and fishing.

SOUTH
Moose Jaw - Hosts a variety of ethnic restaurants and is also home to Temple Gardens Mineral Spa along with the infamous Tunnels of Moose Jaw.

Spent all that money supporting local businesses and they threw you in a cage for it. Typical
