The Octopus's Garden Cafe & Bistro

I had the Amatriciana Pasta with a salad and baguette. The fresh pasta was really good, especially with fresh cracked black pepper from a comically large pepper mill

Dog friendly patio beside a little brooke, above and beyond service. Everything is made in house except the breads which are from a bakery near alma. This is a must try stop! Cod sandwich is smaller but absolutely delicious and a must order. The fresh soup was tomato bisque and I had to fight others off to finish the bowl. Excellent little cocktail list and coffee choices. Just perfect. Charming inside and out, food choices for all, and thoughtful of our allergy havers even!

Had an amazing lunch with friends and our dog, on the patio. The spicy Koren ramen bowl was everything, the Italian trio sandwich was huge, lobster roll has huge pieces of meat, the cod sandwich had perfectly balanced flavors, and soup of the day was made fresh for our party. Our server gave us all the right recommendations and was a treat to talk to. 10/10 would recommend!

Far and away the best restaurant in Alma. Skip the others in town. Fabulous food, a beautiful patio, good service. It was our go to restaurant while we were staying in Alma for several days visiting Fundy National Park. I'm from Chicago, and wish it wasn't so far away.

It may not be under the sea, but if you're hungry after exploring around the Bay of Fundy, this Octopus's Garden is where you'd like to be! Great food, awesome dog friendly patio, and fantastic drinks!

We visited Octopus Garden twice a day. First for a Cappuccino, which was excellent. And a second time for dinner. They made fresh pasta with herbes from the balcony and the wine selection is great. The number of guests end of September in a Restaurant in New Brunswick speaks for itself.

There were four of us dining together. The server was very friendly, but not very attentive after we ordered. After about 30 min she stopped at our table to let us know our meals should be out shortly. After
another 10 to 15 min we inquired with another server who told us they were being plated. After another 10 to 15 minutes our server came to refill our water and we questioned whether we were getting our order. It took over an hour for our meals to come out. There was a group of 3 people who came in directly in front of us and were in and out of the restaurant within 45-50 min while it took over an hour to just get ours meals brought out. The server was apologetic and did check the order and admitted we waited over an hour for 4 meals and inquired twice (no salad, no appetizers were ordered). I will say the meals were beautifully presented and tasty. The price on our bill was adjusted, however the wait was extremely disappointing (especially because the restaurant basically emptied around us) yet our food took forever to come out.

Spent some time in the area and enjoyed one breakfast and a couple dinner here. Bacon and ham were breakfast highlights. For dinners, all the home-made pastas were excellent, and so was the duck. Definitely a great spot for dinner.

Magnificent terrace on the edge of the river. Homemade pasta worthy of a true Italian nonna. We really liked it!

Terrible experience, came in for lunch, seated for 20 minutes and no one came by, 2 tables were seated after us and were served. We ended up walking out of the restaurant as we were completely ignored, servers walked past us to the tables beside us (who came in after us)
