Saint George Travel Guide

Whether you choose to do it on foot, or with a gentle drive - you should explore the roads and byways around St. George. If you're into peaceful scenery and the occasional close brush with wildlife, you'll enjoy looking the place over.

The beautiful little doe pictured below was take from Mascarene Road, maybe 1 km away from our bed and breakfast.

These falls are located right in the middle of St-George. They are not only falls but also a conservation location for fish. The guy we met there said that it is used to help migrate a sort of hareng which enabled them to reproduce.

The Gorge is a perfect photo opp. You may be lucky enough to catch a falcon diving for fish in front of the old paper mill generating station.

Follow the links given to explore St. George and the surrounding towns of St. Andrews (also a must see) and St. Stephens which lies just across Calais, Maine.

Comeau's Seafood restaurant is one of the places recommended to us by local innkeeper Deenie Wilson. She told us that they had excellent fresh seafood, prepared simply and served in bountiful quantities.

She was absolutely on point in every way. This is a friendly, simple little place where you can get yourself a nice fresh plate of clams, or scallops, or haddock, or whatever. The basic plan is to take the freshest seafood you'll find and then fry it to a golden brown, delivering it to the customer's table still sizzling. (Watch out, it's hot) Add some excellent french fries and some tasty cole slaw and voila.... you have a perfect night out in New Brunswick. Oh OK, if you're in need of serious five-star cuisine, place-settings with three or four forks and waiters in tuxedo, then.... Comeau "ain't" your place. But we're one of those families who appreciate the places that the locals love, and that is Comeau's in a nutshell.

Comeau's is technically NOT in St. George. It's out on the TransCanada Route 1, one stop east (back towards St John) of the NB 172 turnoff to St. George. The official "place" that Comeau's calls home is Pennfield, NB. From what I see, Pennfield consists of a couple of stores and a gas station. I didn't see a traffic light. :)

Allow me to quote someone from another site. This was written by a reviewer named Frank Bean over on the restaurantica.com website. Something tells me that Frank and I would click instantly, at least from a standpoint of good eating. :) Here's what he wrote...

"This is one of those mythical truck stop restaurants that actually exits. Don't let the exterior put you off. We stop every year on our trip to and from PEI vacation. Best fried clams I've had in over 30 years. Wife, mother-in-law-and daughter rave about fish & chips. Pies good. Pleasant staff."

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks Frank. Hope our paths cross someday.

Favorite Dish: We all went local seafood, and here's what we had:

I went with a haddock + scallops plate, Sara had shrimp, and Bonnie chose a fish-burger. Bon's burger turned out to be more than she expected... I think she thought it would be a fish cake style offering, but basically it was a crusty bun with several pieces of sizzling fried fish within.

On accompaniments, we all did cole slaw (we love cole slaw). I also had chips - french fries to we Americans. And Sara went outside the box and had sweet potato fries.

We also sampled the local blueberry pie with ice cream - a simple pleasure and very tasty.
