Le Caveau: Amazing seafood fricasee

by tvor

Le Caveau is a restaurant on the estate of Domaine de Grand Pre winery. It's open for lunch and for dinner for fine dining. They also have an outdoor piazza called La Pergola where they will serve you or hold functions such as weddings. They have martini nights and local live music as well. Of course the wines made at the winery feature on the menu and they're very good indeed. We had lunch there and everything on the menu looked tempting. I had a seafood friccasee which is like a chowder but without the potatoes. Huge pieces of fish and shellfish including lobster, scallop and shrimp in an extremely tasty broth. My mother had a herb and garlic soup which she really liked and we shared a large slice of apple cheesecake. To. Die. For. Lunch ... soup, dessert and tea was $20 so it's not really cheap but it's also well worth the money. There is wheelchair access to the restaurant though...

Murphy's: Fish and Chips in Truro

by tvor

Half way between the Nova Scotia border and Halifax is the town of Truro. A nice stopping point for a little shopping. The downtown core has some nice shops including Stanfield's underwear outlet and if you get hungry, go to Murphy's for a feed of fish and chips! They give huge portions and the staff are friendly as all get out. They have a full seafood menu including fish, scallops, clams and shrimp and you can also fill up on liver and onions, turkey dinner, steak, burgers, salads and sandwiches. They have lovely pies for desserts but you probably won't have room! Find it in the middle of a strip "mall" shopping center in the middle of the town by the railway station. Fish and Chips!

Kellock's: Berwick cafe

by tvor

In the small town of Berwick, Nova Scotia in the heart of the Annapolis Valley, we came across a fairly new restaurant. It's only been open a year and it's in a renovated old Victorian house on the main street in Berwick. It's got 3 or 4 small rooms with wooden tables and chairs. Diamond stained glass in the windows, antique lamps, a lovely mirror covered in wrought iron, a fireplace with a painting of wine bottles over it. The bartender that served us was really friendly and the menu had enough on it to satisfy most. I didn't notice too many vegetarian options aside from the salads. We each had something different and really liked all of it. I had the steak sandwich on a multi grain roll with cheese, horseradish mayo and lovely fresh veggies. The french fries are made of Yukon Gold potatoes and were quite possibly the best i've ever had. My mom had fresh cream of mushroom soup and a...

Sugar Moon: Maple Sugar Shack, Scenic Woods, and more

by vickiv2

If you are looking for a really "Canadian" experience - or you just want to mellow out - this is the place to go. Located about 1 1/2 hours north of Halifax in the woods. At the end of a long dirt lane there is a log cabin in the woods. It is heated by a huge woodstove and a stone fireplace. They serve pancakes and waffles mainly, made with stone ground flour of some kind, and there are usually blueberries available as an upgrade. They also offer local sausages, eggs, etc. And of course maple syrup - the real stuff and lots of it - they make it at a sugar shack and if you ask nicely, you can take a walk through their sugar maple woods - of course you have to promise not to damage the trees. Personally, I don't really care that much for stone ground flour in my pancakes, but its healthy food, and the ambience is wonderful. Its all very environmental as they have composting toilets (which...

Baddeck Lobster Suppers: Fresh lobster - Atlantic Canada style

by MikeBird

It was my 50th birthday and I wanted to have a memorable meal to round off the truly wonderful day spent on the schooner looking for whales ( never mind that we didn't see any that day).We'd heard good things about the traditional feel to the restaurant - the red and white checked tables, the truly fresh lobsters straight from the bay and the welcoming , bustling atmosphere of the place. We were not disappointed. We started with the unlimited clam chowder and bread roll. That was good for filling us up because, although the lobster is tasty, it's probably not the most filling of foods.The main course was the lobster. We had one each. My kids had to be shown what to do but we all managed and we enjoyed the experience.My vegetarian son come unstuck though. They managed to do something with scrambled egg on toast in the end but when we were told at the doorway they could do him a salad -...

Windjammer Motel and Restaurant: Fresh Everything on the South Shore

by tvor

The Windjammer restaurant has been in place for decades. I haven't been there for over 20 years but I went recently and it's still as good as it ever was, possibly better. It's unassuming, but with nice tablecloth covered tables and wooden chairs. The menu has lots of fresh Nova Scotia seafood as well as other standards, burgers, soups, salads, sandwiches. I had a cup of seafood chowder that was all fish, shrimp, lobster, scallop and cream. Not one potato in the bowl and it was heaven! They also make a mean strawberry milkshake! They have a takeout window as well if you want to pick something up for a picnic.

Tim Horton's: Not just coffee

by easterntrekker

If you just want a quick bite, Tim Horton' s coffee shops are everywhere. They are fast , cheap and the sanwiches , soups and chili are really good.Everyone in Canada will think its crazy to even mention them as a tip...they are so well known ...but maybe from other places you wouldn't know about them.

The Souwester: A Place for all Mariners

by scottishvisitor

The Souwester Restaurant has a nautical feel as you would expect given its location at Peggy's Cove, people come here by the bus load, so be prepared for lengthy queue. It offers a wide range of meals, snacks & drinks. There is also a great gift shop selling lots of seaside gifts. With so much coastal water surrounding the area fresh seafood is the natural choice. We had the Atlantic planked salmon smoothered in maple syrup followed by Cows Icecream.
