 Old Keg Pub, Sarah Artis photo
Casual Fare The Old Keg Pub, right downtown opposite the Kitimat mall, is an old favourite. The pub also turns into the town's only nightclub and dance floor on Friday and Saturdays. Get there early on Fridays to avoid the lineup. Kitimat has a couple pizzerias, as well as several lunch diners, and Chinese restaurants, including one offering sushi. The town's several coffee shops are also great places to spend a winter afternoon. Seafood Although Kitimat is a popular fishing spot, it has only one seafood restaurant, Seamaster's, located in Kitamaat Village, a 20-minute drive east of town. Seamaster's sits on the beach at the edge of the ocean, and is slightly more upscale than the other eateries around town. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and about a third of the restaurant's tables are next to large windows, making for great views of the sea and spectacular surrounding wilderness. The restaurant's menu includes all sorts of ocean treats, such as halibut and crab, and is open for lunch and dinner.
Hirsh Creek Golf & Winter Club Check out the Hirsh Creek Golf & Winter Club for another great place to eat with beautiful views. In the north of town, the club's large restaurant overlooks the greens on one side and the club's indoor curling rink on the other. It's a popular place to eat, especially in the summer. For more information on eating out in Kitimat, pop into the Visitor Centre for tips from the locals.
