Find out why Dan's Diner, a pop-up restaurant in Churchill, Canada is a must on your foodie bucket list this winter.
#1 Location! Location! Location!
Churchill sits on the edge of Hudson Bay in the most northern part of Manitoba, Canada. This location is prime real estate when it comes to aurora or northern lights viewing as it is directly beneath the aurora oval, which makes Churchill one of the best places on Earth to watch them dance.
#2 You can watch the northern lights swirl above while you feast on locally-inspired cuisine
Dan's Diner is Churchill's only pop-up restaurant experience and runs for just one week out of the year during late February to early March. This unique culinary experience takes you on an adventure to the edge of Hudson Bay via Tundra Buggy® over the frozen Churchill River to immerse you in the gorgeous wilderness of Manitoba.

#5 you can feel good about a Sustainable dining experience
When you think about eating fresh, locally sourced produce, do you picture freezing cold temperatures in the middle of the tundra? You should!
Dan’s Diner uses locally-sourced produce, called ‘Rocket Greens’ wherever possible. The greens are grown in a hydroponic shipping container at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, which are served at Dan's Diner and also supplied to the entire community of Churchill; this innovative project has helped to create food security for the people of Churchill!
