I love homemade organic
food! We have a great little
eatery in town that is a favorite spot for local residents and visitors
alike. It's within close walking
distance to downtown and has a menu of homemade
and locally grown food. I can
personally vouch for lunch menu (soups, baked goodies, sandwiches, salads).
The first thing you will
notice when you enter is the tantalizing smells of homemade food and a very
welcoming atmosphere.
There is proactive
environmental policy written on the front of the till counter that is really
powerful to read. Under the Willow
has a mission to reduce, reuse and recycle and the tearoom is known for using biodegradable
products and composting. In the
spring, scraps are donated as needed to a local animal rescue center to feed
bear cubs.
Attached to the restaurant is
a used book and record store to poke around in.
It's is also a favorite venue for local artists and
musicians to play and jam, so you never know what you might have happened
upon. The last time I went, it was
"Open Mike", and I was surprised by how many brave folks got up and
shared their talents.
This is a great place to have
lunch when you are exploring downtown Dawson Creek.
It has wonderful food, a great environment, friendly service and very
reasonable prices all while supporting an eco-friendly business.

I learned a long time ago that the best Cinnamon Buns, Carrot Cake and Nanaimo Bars in town are at the Hug-A-Mug cafe.
Good timing means getting a table for lunch. It's right downtown on 102nd Ave and a big favorite with the local crowds for lunch and informal get-togethers and meetings.
They make everything right in the kitchen so you can order a home made soup, pick your own ingredients for a sandwich, choose a salad and top it all off with your choice of the many delectable deserts laid out in front of you.
First thing in the morning, there is a steady stream of downtown business people coming to get their coffee, favorite breakfast food and the latest local news.
This cafe is known for its friendliness, wonderful food and big underwater mural. The only problem is choosing what you want from the menu. Everything is as good as Mom made it.
I love to go in early, order my favorite coffee, sit for a while and have mini-visits with the people that come in.
Less than a block from the Mile O Post, and right across the street from Alaska Highway House Interpretive Center this is definitely a great place to stop for lunch when you are walking around and exploring town.
