BonTon & Company is a café & restaurant with a focus on regional produce and meats supplied by Yukon Farms and Producers. We rely on locally sourced, high-quality foods, creativity, care and resilience in our kitchen.
To us, eating local is more than just our brand and the impacts reach further than our customers. Supporting the Yukon’s food suppliers benefits our community, our region and all Yukoners.
The Daily Grind
Tuesday-Friday 8:30 am-4pm
Breakfast served 8:30-11
Lunch served 11-3
During the Day, our customers can expect a cozy and rustic atmosphere with counter service and espresso coffees made with intention.
Our café offers Yukon roasted coffee beans for espresso coffees, teas, tea lattes and seasonal cold brew alongside baked goods, breakfast and lunch. Our mornings start with a breakfast that we have seek out while travelling. Whether it’s a breakfast sandwich, toast & jam, oats or some cured meat and cheese, our Bonton breakfast options are light & local.
For lunch, chef Georgia Hammond takes inspiration from a wide range of world cuisines and enjoys the challenge of finding new and creative ways to showcase Yukon grown food, while still offering a satisfying and complete midday meal. Our Lunch menu changes weekly, inspired by what is seasonably available and is always 50% vegetarian, with dairy and gluten free options upon request. Our guests can expect to see two sandwiches with side-salads for the week and two specials that also change mid-week.
Unique menus are served year-round to those who enjoy the variety, and appreciate our efforts to reduce waste and source from Yukon farms. On Saturdays we open 11-3 for brunch with a different menu each weekend featuring items like an all-local Eggs Benny or Bonton’s Rosemary & Juniper Bacon & Eggs. This is the time to spend with friends, family or precious alone time with an exceptional cappuccino or mimosa.
Into the Evening
Thursday/Friday/Saturday
6pm + 8pm seatings
Three nights a week we transition into a more intimate dining space serving a curated menu of small plates and charcuterie. We work with farmers and small-scale Yukon producers to bring you the freshest ingredients and strive to find exciting ways to showcase our regional fare and to have our guests experience a meal that is uniquely local yet reminiscent of travels elsewhere.
We offer dinner in two seatings per evening, 6pm and 8pm. Reservations are necessary or highly recommended throughout the year but exceptionally so June-September. Guests can expect a boisterous indoor environment on occasion as we are a small space. We have a semi-covered patio that extends our seating options during the summer; however, we do not take reservations for the patio as weather is unpredictable.
Evening chef Ariel Adams creates an entirely new menu each week influenced by the bounty of producers from the Klondike and around our sub-arctic region, combining international flavours and cooking techniques to create exciting, fresh and vibrant dishes. Our à la carte menu can start with house-made charcuterie and then select from 6 unique small plates intended for sharing. Our evening menu always features 3 vegetarian and 3 meat focused plates. We recommend ordering one – two more plates than the number of guests at your table to fully satisfy your appetite.
Our Front of House Manager Ali Charette leads our service staff both day and night. Our team strives to provide a welcoming environment for our customers, whether it is their first or 100th time through our door. During the day, we offer a small, curated wine list, a few beers and ciders to compliment your meal. If you’re joining us for dinner, we additionally offer a carefully crafted cocktails menu, a freshly pulled espresso martini or unique non-alcoholic craft cocktails designed by our experienced Bartender Nicola.
Reservations for evening table service are highly recommended.
