About The Octopus's Garden Cafe & Bistro

The Octopus's Garden Cafe & Bistro offers delicious food at fair prices, featuring dishes like scallops, cod, and homemade pasta cooked to perfection. Customers enjoy the wheelchair-friendly environment and generous portions of baked goods. The staff is friendly and accommodating, making it a great place to visit with family or on a date. Located right by a beautiful brook, it provides a lovely setting for a meal. Recent visitors have praised the amazing homemade pasta and sauces, highlighting the freshness of the ingredients and the quality of the dishes. The restaurant is known for its fresh pasta, which is a bit softer than al dente, and the Alfredo with a fine butter layer on top, indicating it's freshly made. The smoked salmon alfredo, with hot smoked salmon substituted for the usual cold smoked salmon, was a standout. Customers also love the cod sandwich and the homemade remoulade, describing it as so good they could drink it. The carrot cake comes highly recommended, with some suggesting to take a slice home. The strawberry lemonade is enjoyed, though larger glasses would be appreciated. Portions are generous, especially when combined with salad and bread. The restaurant is closed from 4-5, so it's best to call ahead if looking for specific menu items, as some dishes may be unavailable. Overall, The Octopus's Garden Cafe & Bistro remains a top spot in Alma for great food and a cozy atmosphere, noted for its impressive menu that rivals the quality found in big city restaurants.

This place needs a lot of TLC! Very dirty and worn out! Food was very high price for quality. We have mussels everywhere we go if it’s an option and these were the worst smelling ones we have ever had. I was wondering if there was something wrong with them.
