Looks like it's the Sheraton Cavalier Saskatoon Hotel.

Restaurants downtown Saskatoon that have good food:

Golden Pagoda - Burmese food
Earl's -
St. Tropez - fine dining, cocktail bar
Deadly Dan's - burgers close to downtown Ave.B

There's a lot of restaurants in the downtown area, plus the hotels all have a dining room.

For Friday, here's your choices:

Earl's - caters to groups - downtown

Earls Saskatoon | Earls Saskatoon, SK Restaurants

earls.ca

Birmingham's Vodka & Ale House - on circle drive not close to the rink or most hotels

Birmingham's Vodka & Ale House

Birmingham's is Saskatoon and Regina's favourite local restaurant and pub, established in 2013. We offer take out, delivery through Chow Local, and dine in at any of our 3 locations.

Saskatoon Inn - on airport drive it's the closest to Sasktel Centre. A long walk but in the right area and they cater to groups.

Saskatoon has a varety of restaurants, a lot of oriental, ukrainian, canadian, probably caribbean somewhere...

Thinking 15 for lunch. Look it over and let me know.

I checked with my niece it’s about $25 - 30 for a taxi from Sasktel to downtown. But assuming people sharing won’t be too bad. Doesn’t seem to be anything around the rink which is a shame as that would have logistically been so much easier.

The best hotel restaurant close to Sasktel Place is the Saskatoon Inn. I think for groups they stick you in your own place. I'd have to phone to find out more. Other than that downtown. I'd suggest we come up with an idea sooner rather than later. This week I have a lot going on so won't have time to do much research. Just a friendly hint.

I’m good with Saskatoon Inn, thanks for researching Pat.

I'm fine with Earls, and the Burmese food, the Golden pagoda, plus Saskatoon Inn.

I am fine with any of the options, with a slight preference for Earl's. But it's all good.

 

[emason]

I’m fine with the majority vote. Saskatoon Inn or Earls seem good choices.

Like many public venues up in Canada it’s less about clear bags and more about size of the bag fitting with the person in their seat. Purses or small backpack purses are ok.

So they will strictly enforce the size of the bags?
I am so used to bring the clear 12x 12x 5 bags so I need to find and buy a 12x9x5 bag!

I don't think they're super strict at Canadian venues. I think as long as it's not excessively large, and you can fit it under your seat without bothering your neighbour, you're going to be fine!
