I have discovered that finding good places to dine in the capital of the Northwest Territories keeps getting better. And if you happen to stroll by 4915 50th Street you will find something a little different and a little (shall we say) cool projecting out onto the streets of the Yellowknife – an outdoor patio with a lounge! The lounge in question just happens to be the Twist Lounge located above Fuego Restaurant in Yellowknife. 

The Twist Lounge offered up super friendly service that was lightening fast and it certainly did not hurt that I was outside basking in the sun while enjoying the great food too. The look and feel of the lounge is unique, atmospheric and the menu consists of finger food dishes that you are meant to share with others; thus, I recommend ordering two dishes per person so that you can try out a few things.

The presentation was beautiful and both of the dishes I ordered tasted great (see photos below). The value for the money spent was definitely worth every dollar and this lunch outing makes my top 5 dining experiences of the summer. Overall this was an easy A+ dining experience. Check out the photos below – What is your Twist on the Twist? (please comment below).

    We just got back from a wonderful and tasty dinner at Le Fuego restaurant! Next time we’ll try the upstairs lounge!

    It is a nice place. Not many days left to enjoy the sun – so get to it :)

    I was confused by the “Le Fuego” comment on this site. We visited the establishment and were informed by the staff that the owner is the previous chef from the Oldtown Landing (nothing to do with Le Frolic whatsoever). Even comparing the two one is demonstrated that they are completely different styles and level of dining. In fact, if you note one thing, Le Frolic is French, whereas Fuego is Spanish and World influenced, so it puzzled me to see that these two were confused with eachother. I would never do Fuego or Twist the disgrace of categorizing it with Le Frolic.
