L'abri café, restaurant et bar offers a comfortable and casual atmosphere for socializing, with a selection of great wine, tasty mussels, seafood chowder, and delicious fish & chips. The lobster/crab roll is also a highlight. The staff is inviting and knowledgeable, and the food and drinks are outstanding, making it one of the best dining experiences in the area.
The restaurant features an exquisite dining experience with flawless service, beautifully presented dishes, and a warm atmosphere. Customers praise the atypical style and original decor, as well as the stunning location by the sea with a unique terrace. The cocktails and meals are delicious, and the staff is accommodating and friendly. While one customer mentioned not receiving a paper bill, the overall experience is highly recommended, with a diverse beer selection and tasty dishes like the lightly fried, crispy, and flavorful fish and chips, and the delicious sautéed broccolini. The restaurant also offers a summer salad and chicken wings, though the chicken tikka masala could use some more spices to enhance the authentic flavor.
Recent reviews highlight the restaurant’s beautiful and uniquely decorated interior, even when sitting inside due to rain. The food is praised for being flavorful and fresh, with seafood linguine and lobster roll being popular choices. Visitors have enjoyed trying the whole lobster, with one reviewer noting the helpful tutorial from the chef, and recommend getting the steak, which they found very good. The staff is described as friendly and welcoming, making guests feel like they made new friends. Although some found the food slightly overpriced and a bit lacking compared to other Maritimes restaurants, the scenic sea view remains a major highlight.
