I had the special at Tides which was a fish dish with mussels, scallops, salmon and lobster tail. It was delicious and good value. The staff were friendly and attentive. The view from the dining room across the harbour is an added bonus.

It was getting colder because the sun was setting and we were all hungry. We walked around Alma and many of the restaurants with patios were unfortunately closed and we needed a patio because of our little mini schnauzer dog. My husband, on a hunch, decided to ask if Tides Restaurant could accommodate us with our dog even though a patio was nowhere to be seen. Well, not only did they welcome us warmly, we found out about their secret patio at the back of the restaurant that faces the Fundy.
We had a beautiful sunset view by the water while eating our hearty and delicious dinners. The chef even made a smashed burger patty for our little Millie! Everything was perfect, the sweet potatoe fries, crispy and crunchy with the perfect seasoning of sea salt. A generous lobster roll made with mostly tail meat on the softest roll with fresh slaw on the side.
Not only that the service was incredible and the ladies were so kind and thoughtful. We felt taken care of and genuinely appreciated. Thank you Tides Restaurant. We will be back again. ❤️❤️❤️

The food at Tides was excellent, but what truly stood out was the service and kindness of the staff. We arrived in Alma late at night after an unpleasant incident on the road, only to find most restaurants already closed and unwilling to seat us. Tides was also winding down for the evening, but when we walked in, Mark, whom I initially thought was the head chef (he was in his own attire), immediately noticed our situation. He reassured us, sat us down, and said, “Let’s figure out your dinner first, and then worry about your stay.” He called one of his staff and asked him to take care of us, and they did look after us with kindness and patience, never once showing frustration about serving us so late. The food they served us was excellent and freshly made, despite the closing hours we came in. They checked in multiple times to make sure we were comfortable, well-fed, and taken care of.
The next morning, before leaving Alma, I returned to thank Mark personally — and that’s when I learned he actually owns the place. During the entire conversation, I realized he’s not only a great host but a genuinely kind and clam person who really cares about other people. He could have refused to serve us yesterday, or he could have had his staff deal with us, but he went out of his way to assure us not to worry.
What a gentleman. In a stressful moment, he and his team showed compassion and hospitality and went above and beyond what you’d ever expect from a restaurant. For that reason alone, I’ll always remember that Tides is more than a place with good food and a great view, but it’s a place where the people make all the difference.

Delicious food! Everything was very fresh and tasty. We had Shannon as a server and she was the absolute best she made the experience ten times better! Highly recommend this spot.
When you close your eyes and think of a place to go and have a lobster roll and to an experience an authentic sea food restaurant…Tides in Alma is your wake up call. This restaurant should be on your bucket list. The lobster roll is “perfection”. Impossible to describe must experience yourself.

The mussels were cooked in a delicious broth. The chef special lobster fried rice with duck breast was the star of the show! Immense flavours. Great view of the Bay of Fundy. Super friendly staff.

Had the pleasure of this being our last stop and place to eat while visiting the beautoful province of New Brunswick. Such a wonderful place to dine. The food was delicious, and the staff were wonderful. Shannon was awesome. Huge thanks to her for handling our large group and for any accommodations that were made. If you are looking for a lovely place to dine, with a beautiful view, this is the spot. All around wonderful experience.

Best Seafood Chowder in Canada and America is here at Tides. OMG the food is incredibly good and satisfying. If you stop here on a tour, be sure to get the Chowder. It has more seafood in it than anywhere we've been

Have to take responsibility for what we ordered, all fried (wasn't expecting crab cakes to be deep fried) so if you like deep fried it was pretty ok. Our server was lovely.
By far my best fish and chips experience ever! 😋
