Reviews of Elke's Table on 47th (Coffee Shop)

Jason Simpson

Great schnitzels and German chocolate cake

Наталья Кошик

Delicious homemade food, fresh desserts

Pan Lei

(Translated) It’s good to fish in the week, and the fish can’t be done. It looks like a big piece. Everything is downy, and the fish itself is pitiful. Checkout more than 50, pay 100, it does not charge, suspected of large bills, other restaurants will not. (Original) 周打魚好喝，炸魚不行，看上去大大一塊，一切下行都是粉漿，魚本身小得可憐。結帳50多，付一百它不收，嫌大鈔，其它餐廳都不會這樣。

Bonnie Ng

Unbelievably good German food! A super cute and homey joint. The fish is soooooo juicy and fatty; the schnitzel is the bomb - super tender and the flavour of everything is perfect. Their cakes are also unbelievably delicious. Thank you chef for an unforgettable meal!

Hey there, 1 month in Yellowknife and the first time Elke's Table ... As some germans, who camed to YK to work and known for their criticism, we have to highly recommend this place! Its small but nice. The first time I entered the door it exactly smelled like a typical german restaurant. We both had to try the Schnitzel for sure. We consider it as very good. Even though we are wide up north in Canada the Schnitzel was really good. Maybe better then some from Germany. We will probably never know because we can hardly compare it. Long text but the answer is sure. This place is recommended to everybody out there!

Food is fair. Staff excellent.

David Eng

The cod was amazing

Aaron Tambour

I hardly give a full 5 stars, but this place is amazing. The food is so good. The location is easy to find and the host was so very nice and did a great job catering seeing as she was the only one there doing it all. You can sit either indoors or outdoors and both are decorated uniquely with a great vibe. The food is a German-Mediterranean cuisine and it's proportions are an excellent size. I highly recommend it if you are in Yellowknife.

If you are going to Yellowknife call ahead to tell Elke that you will be at her restaurant and that you want to try her amazing German cakes. I'm serious, call a few days ahead of time at least - you'll be very disappointed if you miss them. This is a really fun restaurant, like so many businesses in Yellowknife it is within the family home. The vibe here is fantastic and the lady who runs the place is full of character. Great food and wonderful Yellowknife charm.

Shine Hsieh

(Translated) Warm little shop ^^ The amount of schnitzel seems to be less... The friend said that it was a big part before... but it is still full after eating! I ordered the 6th meal schnitzel, but the 7th meal is more delicious! In addition, the money seems to be a bit wrong? The yellow knife's tax should not be 5%~ but we seem to have received a 10% tax?! (Original) 溫馨的小店^^ 炸肉排份量似乎變少了...朋友說之前來比較大份...但吃完還是很飽! 我點6號餐炸肉排，但7號餐比較有味道! 此外，錢好像有點算錯了?黃刀的稅不是應該是5%~但我們好像被收了快10%的稅?!

Laura Recine

Absolutely delicious!

Scott VanderWey

Excellent fish and chips!

笑笑

(Translated) The lamb chops are very tender, Sarah is average, the price is slightly more expensive and there is no service, but a 15% tip is mandatory. P.s water is also charged (Original) 羊排很嫩，莎拉一般，價格稍貴且沒什麼服務卻強制收15%小費 p.s水也需收費

30 steps away from Explorer Hotel. Enticed by the giant yellow sign for "Coffee and Fresh Baked Goods" so I stopped in to check it out. I will be back! Staff/Owner was very nice.

ash kace

great food. good espresso. very nice staff

Corey Shefman

Went for lunch here after seeing good reviews. It seems to be hit and miss. One of our party got the fish chowder and loved it. Generous amounts of fish, very tasty and a meal sized bowl. However, the other two diners got the fish and chips and were very disappointed. The fish had twice as much batter as it needed, and was cooked twice as long as it should have been. When it came out, the piece of fish looked to be enormous - bigger than the plate - but once you cut into it, it's clear that most of the size is the breading and air. The fish itself is small and thin, dry and nearly tasteless. Any taste it did have was overpowered by the almost burnt exterior. Next time we'll try it pan fried.

Josh Tischart

Amazing food here. Will be eating here everytime I visit Yellowknife.

Randon S

Fish was incredible! Elke explained to us that it was freshly caught from the frozen lake. Lovely lady!

Meisze Leung

Really nice home made German food and the owner is very friendly. Highly recommended.

KIMBERLY Docherty

Authentic German food, made by a German lady named Elke. You want a great treat try the potatoe salad it is out of this world. It is a must if you are in Yellowknife. If you want a mom and pop feel here it is. Right now it is a limited menu but call up to see what she is serving. Major thumbs up????????????????????Guten appetite

Yousif Attia

Deliciously prepared, locally caught fish, and Elke's specialty: home-style schnitzel. Small cozy venue and family service.

Philip Mario Pompili

Very good and home made experience.

Anida Van der Spuy

Lovely Fish and German Potatoes

P K

Nice little restaurant. The food tasted great and the service was excellent.

Jim Thiessen

If I could give Elke's 6 out of 5 stars I would. I visit this wonderful little family-run restaurant every time I come to Yellowknife on business and and on all occasions, the food and service has been exceptional. The fish is deep fried to perfection but it is the Schnitzel that is sublime..... If you ask nice and call ahead you might even be able to get it with spaetzle (traditional German dumpling).

YUAN L

(Translated) This fish is really very general, and the service attitude is not good. I thought that this taste and service can only give a tip of 5% at most, but the boss asked for a mandatory 15%. I don't recommend this restaurant. (Original) 这家的鱼真的很一般，服务态度也不好，我当时认为这样口味和服务最多只能给5%的小费，但是老板要求强制交15%，不推荐这家餐厅

W.I Lee

(Translated) Alba was very good, but the persimmon was overfried, the fish was over oil, and the pig was chewy. The salad was delicious, but there were 2 tips for the tip. (Original) 알바는 매우착했지만, 감튀는 과하게튀겨졌으며, 생선은 기름과다, 돼지는 질겼다. 샐러드는 맛있었으나 선택권없는 팁강제징수에 2점!

Emily Shek

Very nice little restaurant ???? yum

Lynsie marie

Food is great

Erin Layden

We went there for the local/northern dishes. I had pickeral. My dad had artic char. Hubby had steak and lobster. And the kids had octo-dogs. Excellent meal.

Alessandro Putzolu

just one word to describe this place, terrible

Sara Vacar

Generous portions of delicious food! The owner and staff are friendly and personable. The meal was well-cooked; the meat was moist and seasoned well. Lots of tzatziki for the meat and large portions of fries and salad alongside the main. Prices are reasonable considering the amount of food! Definitely worth a trip! :)

(Translated) Super Duper Cute staff(╹◡╹) Kanban Mother really cute ah I die (Original) Super Duper Cute staff（╹◡╹） 看板娘真可爱啊我死了

Travis R

Everything is homemade from the dips to the bread and including the schnitzel. Their local whitefish is the best in Yellowknife and the portion size reminds you of how big the fish get here. I highly recommend especially if you are hungry!

Kristen Weingartner

Great food! Easily one of the best places to eat in Yellowknife.

Jonah Chung

The host is a warm German lady, when I struggling what should I have, she recommends the German dish schnitzel, and the outcome is incredibly wonderful, the texture of the meat is crunchy and the sauce is full of the aroma of garlic and dew(? I'm not sure actually ????) Highly recommend this homelike restaurant ????????

Shania Beaulieu

The experience was fantastic. Great food, music and atmosphere. I highly recommend going here!

Mo Hamilton

Good home style cooking.

Yonsung Ryoo

(Translated) Wildcat Cafe is better. The food is still Old Town. It smells like lamb. Fish has a lot of chips oil. Sunitzel tastes good, but it's expensive ㅠㅠ One German Mexican is $8 ㅎㄷㄷ (for reference, it's past the shelf life of Mexicans...) Is the tip forced or pressure 15%... (Original) 와일드 켓 카페가 더 나음 음식은 역시 올드타운. 양고기 냄새가 좀 나고. 피쉬엔 칩스 기름이 좀 많은것 같네요. 수니첼은 존맛 근데 비싸요 ㅠㅠ 독일 멕주 하나가 8불 ㅎㄷㄷ(참고로 멕주 유통기간 지난거 줌...) 팁은 강제인지 아님 압박인지 15프로...

Raymond Taylor

The service was good and prices were fair. If you're looking for home cooked German food, the give this a try.

Bea W

cosy and with a touch of home style cooking

Stephen Lee

We made a reservation for 6pm and had good food and good service before it became completely full. We had the special fish platter, fish chowder, and the pickerel. That was the best fish, tender, fresh and tasty.

Evan Kwok

So so.... under my expectation

(Translated) Schnitzel is delicious. You must tip 15% unconditionally. But it's delicious (Original) 슈니첼이 맛있음. 무조건 15퍼센트의 팁을 내야함. 근데 맛있다는점

Colin Young

It's a very small room, so seating is limited and you'll need to be in the mood for a cozy atmosphere. Our server was very nice, and the food came out quickly. Come hungry! The portions border on ludicrous, especially the battered whitefish which is magnificent. It was beautifully fried, and enough food for two people. The schnitzel was also very nice.

George Lessard

Excellent food... great coffee... even better cakes and flans .... Yummy

Jiří Nečesaný

Nice, small .. you feel like at home

Sherri Vegso

The food is so yummy. Its definitely worth checking out.

Wallace Watson

You've got to eat there. It's great

robert woodward

It's all homemade, our lunch was good. Soup was a huge bowl of homemade chicken noodle. Weinerschnitzle was also good. Our food came with dinner rolls and butter. It serves non alcoholic beer here, and for this I give it an extra star. Super important to have choices like thos in a.town with such bad problem with alcohol.

TT Lee

Wonderful staff, great food and just a really nice place :)

1. A traveller of Asian descent told the restaurant owner that he was born in Australia. The restaurant owner said, “oh, I wonder why”. 2. Food is mediocre, yet super expensive: more than what it would cost in a big city. The fish looks big when it comes on the table, but most of it is just air and hollow oily batter. 3. The owner will remind you that the bill does not include tips and that you should tip 15% percent. I suggest prepare cash or coins for tips. 4. The waitress appeared to be in a dreamy state. We had to ask repeatedly for water, but there were only two other tables who were already eating. We never got any water until the food was already on the table. Not sure if water costed us any money like the other comment says. 5. Heavy smoke in the entire restaurant. You will come into a smokey restaurant and leave smelling like cooking. Not pleasant. My eyes are very sensitive, and they were irritated the whole time while I was in there.

Erin MacDonald

Delish!

Llyanina Lora

First time in this place and love their food and the front yard, felt peaceful and quiet, good coffee also.

soulblush

(Translated) There's a name on the menu, but less than three of the main menus took over 40 minutes to come out. Schnitzel was not crispy at all and so was fish. Simple'm ningning whole. It's a small shop that doesn't have any ventilation, and it smells like oil all over your body. Tip requires 15%. (Original) 메뉴판에 이름은 있지만 메인메뉴중에 3가지나 안됐고 음식 나오는데 40분 넘게 걸렸어요. 슈니첼은 전혀 바삭하지 않았고 생선요리도 마찬가지였어요. 간이 전체적으로 닝닝해요. 작은 가게인데 환기가 전혀 안되서 온몸에 기름냄새가 뱁니다. 팁은 15프로를 요구합니다.

Peter G

If you are looking for great food with very personal service this is the place to go.

Eddie Wong

Good food

Jo Jensen

Very good. Coffee is delicious

WY L

Yummy. Especially the Chow & Fish soup is full of fish! Very full lunch here! Crispy fish & chip.

Greg Perdue

Definitely 5 star. The best schnitzel and gyros you can find. The fish and chips cant be beat made from locally caught fresh fish. The fries are like mom used to make. I still have a few things to try. Can't wait.

MFAM

Immaculate, tasty food. Excellent service. Cosy atmosphere. A great offering.

Danny

Fantastic German food prepared fresh, right to order. Elke is a great cook and host and we look forward to going back. The schnitzel is a must try!

Harry Jacobs

The food was good but not that imaginative for the price. Service was great, would go again.

Y C

It was my first time trying out German food and it was so good. Tasty food and good portion! Must-visit in Yellowknife???? Cozy little restaurant, with an atmosphere almost feels like I am at gramma’s place.

Tommy Li

One of the best

홍은미

(Translated) The food is not bad, but the fried clothes are a little thick. (Original) 음식은 나쁘지 않은데 튀김옷이 좀 두꺼워 느끼함.

Oliver Fan

Very nice family style restaurant, love the food, strongly recommend fish and chip.

Inouk Champ

The food was ok, fresh fries. Very small Size of snitzel, nothing to compare with Germany. JãgerSnitzel was serve with canned mushrooms and Romain salad. Table was sticky, got charged almost 3$ per juice box (kids) I have never seen/got served snitzel with tatziki... disappointed. Waitress was also cooking, feel bad for her being "alone"

Terry Dutot

Some great food good service,

김이랑

(Translated) I came from Korea because I ate schnitzel so delicious, but it wasn't good here. The smell of pork was so delicious. The owner is also unfriendly and the price is high. (Original) 한국에서 슈니첼을 워낙 맛있게 먹어서 왔는데 여긴 별로였어요. 돼지고기 누린내가 너무 나더라구요. 주인도 불친절하고 가격도 비싸요.

rubin edmund

Great food and German music

Auto C

Had the greatest food ever in Yellowknife! Ate the slow roasted lamb with potato salad which was to die for. My partner had the fish platters with the different types of fish, pan fried. Everything was excellent, and so was the homemade German strawberry rhubarb cake with a scoop of ice cream by the side! Was definitely worth the stay! I’ll be back!

P B

Great German cuisine. We had schnitzel and it was phenomenal! Very close to downtown.

BB K

(Translated) I ordered Olympia Pork and german Schnitzel! Both of them So tasty!! I recommend Schnitzel. It's my first time trying schnitzel and it feels like a thin fried pork cutlet. The salad dressing is also delicious. The pre-dinner bread is also delicious. Olympia Pork is a taste for rice Recommendation I was worried that the pork might smell, but I don't think it smells!! (Original) I ordered Olympia Pork and german Schnitzel! Both of them So tasty!! I recommend Schnitzel. 슈니첼 처음 먹어보는데 얇은 튀김 돈까스 느낌이에요. 맛있어요 샐러드 드레싱도 맛있어요. 식전 빵도 맛있어요. 올림피아 포크는 밥을 부르는 맛이에요 추천추천 돼지고기에서 냄새 날까봐 걱정했는데, 냄새는 안나는거같아요!!

Vegetable It

I came to this place a couple days ago with my friend, and we both had the whitefish. She had it deep fried, and I had mine pan fried. It was fantastic! The potato salad was tasty too. ???? I’ll definitely be coming back here!!

Soi St

(Translated) Sunitzel is really good. You can think of it as a thin pork cutlet with french fries and a salad. I took a star for the price. (Original) 수니첼이 정말 맛있네요. 얇은 돈까스에 감자튀김과 샐러드라고 생각하면 되겠네요. 가격 때문에 별 하나 뺐어요.

Giselle Marion

Beautiful little restaurant. Great food love the Olympia pork.

Sandy Bigelow

If you want a cozy, friendly atmosphere with fresh delicious food, Elke's Table is your place!

Jamie Stewart

Really good food and friendly staff

Yao Lu

Too pricy for the amount and the taste of the food, and the pork and the fries was greasy and tastes like the frozen food you buy from the store and then fry them yourself and then accidentally overcooked. Only tourists would go to this place to eat.

Zac Wise

The food is very good and you definitely get what you pay for!

Roger Kunuk

Get the fish

meteor0921

(Translated) The meal was delicious, but the fried powder was too thick, a bit masked the delicious taste of fish, the overall environment was good (Original) 餐點美味，但是油炸的裹粉太厚了，有點掩蓋魚肉鮮美的味道，整體環境不錯

Laurence Bullivant

Good homemade food! We had fresh fish and amazing schnitzel. Highly recommended .

Justin Roberts

They have both food AND tables.

大摸摸

(Translated) The oil is very large, not suitable for Asian tastes, only $33 for this one, and 15% of consumption is compulsory (Original) 油非常大，不适合亚洲人的口味，就这一份33刀，而且强制收15%消费

MCR Lopez

Arrived for a late dinner while in transit in Yellowknife for work. Thankfully, Elke stayed open without any questions/comments. I had the pickerel which was absolutely wonderful. It was a large piece too (extends under the fries in this pic). The restaurant was also charming as was Elke and colleague. A bit pricey but worth it. I'll try he schnitzel next time. :)

Bradley Enge

Food and service are great

Benjamin Brodeur

Cozy Great food Warm atmosphere

(Translated) My daughter was serving. It was cute that I worked hard to serve customers. The mother who cooked the food had a warm atmosphere, with an atmosphere like that of everyone's mother. (Original) 娘さんがサーブをしていた。頑張って接客をしているのが、可愛らしかった。料理を作っているお母さんは、どこかみんなのお母さんのような雰囲気があり、温かい雰囲気を持った店だった。

Tony Lee

Terrible food. The fish is not fresh and coated with thick flour. The pork is over-cooked. Too greasy, food and atomophere. A small room, with kichten together, no ventilate . You should have your lunch with strong cooking smell. Even the tape water is charged, $1.5 per person. It's the only place I seen in Canada.

Free Styler

It was really delicious ! would highly recommend to go there !!!

Adrianna Ewen

Love the food!

robj2903

Wunderbar for the fish chowda and the wonderful hand made bread rolls!

edward tse

Everything just perfect. A good server and great food. You just can't skip this great dinning place if you stay in Nova or The Explorer. Love the Trout and fries, also the juicy pork in German style. Due to it is a relative small dinning place with 1x seats, suggest you call and ask before you go to there.

Martin Cooney

It was wonderful! The service was fast and friendly. I ate the schnitzel which came with homemade German potato salad. It was scrumptious! Definitely coming back again.
