At Caribou the surroundings are comfortable and the focus is contemporary cuisine of exceptional quality. Signature dishes created by our Chef include certified Angus tenderloin, cedar plank salmon, black and blue ahi tuna and wood oven pizzas. Our desserts are prepared in-house by our pastry chef. We feature an extensive wine list with numerous vintage wines as well as over 30 wines by the glass.
Caribou Restaurant + Wine Bar opened in November of 1999. The menu has been developed over many years of visiting restaurants all over North America and the world. Options represent Italian, Asian, Cuban or any other styles of new and exciting cuisine.
Caribou has been listed in "Where to Eat in Canada" for several years running and the wine list has earned the "Wine Spectator Award of Excellence" every year since 2002.

I order the veal and had to send it back as it was very tough, the server was very responsive and reordered a different meal which was delicious. Will definately dine with you again as the service was wonderful.

We had a fantastic evening, and the food was absolutely delicious. A heartfelt thanks to Danica and Nick for speaking with us in French, our mother tongue—it truly made the experience even more special!

We went for the Valentine's Day 3 course and it was divine. Good wine, got a nice booth, and it was just a delightful evening after that. The food was plentiful, the wine was good quality and purchasable by the bottle, the service was exquisite and the orders came out in a timely manner. Will definitely be back.
