Est. on Lakeshore Drive · Cold Lake, Alberta

A general store that grewinto a kitchen.

Walk through the old red door and step back a hundred years — aged shelves, edison bulbs, white linen, and dishes built for slow evenings.

Since the early days

One part trading post, one part supper club.

Clark's keeps the bones of the original general store — antique tins on the back shelves, hand-lettered signs, the worn pine floor — and lays a table around them. Locals come for the room. Travelers come because friends sent them.

Open since 2016 in the historic building at 701 Lakeshore Drive, we serve dinner Tuesday through Sunday, with outdoor seating in summer and a kids' menu year-round.

From the kitchen

Honest food, slow and warm.

Hand-cut steaks and braises, hearty pastas, fresh fish from the lake, and the hamburger that locals quietly insist is the best in town. Most plates land between $20 and $30.

After dinner

Stay out a little later — drinks at PourHouse.

Our sister spot on 8th Avenue keeps the lights on past midnight. Craft taps, a long bar, and a livelier room when supper's done. A five-minute drive from Clark's.
