Eating and Drinking
Fresh fish is the obvious thing to eat locally, preferably at the Green Apple , a shack (and town institution) that serves a mean halibut and chips for $6; it's at 301 McBride St (tel 627-1666) just before Hwy 16 turns into town. For something a touch more upmarket, locals flock to the Smile's Seafood Cafe , at 113 George Hills Way (tel 624-3072), about 300m north of the infocentre, which has been doing a roaring trade on the waterfront since 1934. Also here - just across the road - is Cowpuccinos , a good cafe that's the centre of Prince Rupert's alternative scene. The Breakers pub just across the bridge at 117 George Hills Way (tel 624-5990) is a popular and inexpensive place to drink and also serves decent food. Also close by, the Cow Bay Cafe , 205 Cow Bay (tel 627-1212; closed Mon), pushes Smile's close for the best seafood and other meals in town. The bar under the Coast Prince Rupert high-rise hotel at 118 2nd Ave, between 6th and 7th streets, also does decent if standard Canadian food, and is one of the few places open for breakfast.
