We booked out the whole restaurant and they did just what we hoped for: Maritime hospitality, wonderful, genuine service and knock-your-socks off food. The team from across Canada went bananas over the Crobster sandwich. The special welcome from the owners was a lovely touch. The...read full review

The Canteen is a popular restaurant known for its outstanding service and well-designed interior. They bake their own bread in an open bakery and have a superb wine selection. The menu features delicious dishes like the life-changing Crobster Roll, excellent salads, and the best chowder in the area. The atmosphere is bright and upbeat, with a harbor view and a lively setting. Customers have praised the freshness and flavor of the seafood, especially the perfectly seared scallops, haddock burger, Lobster Spaghettini, and Scallop and Pea Risotto. Highlights include perfectly cooked steak frites and some of the best broccoli around. The restaurant also offers a variety of seafood options and creative classic dishes, including Snow Crab Dip and a crobster sandwich. Many reviews mention the incredible food, with specific recommendations for the huevos rancheros and the outstanding carrot cake and sourdough bread. The seafood chowder is highly recommended, with generous portions and outstanding flavor. The staff help create a warm dining experience, and the wine list includes local bottles. With good local ingredients, a nice local beer list, well-made cocktails, and a small but quality wine selection, The Canteen remains a fabulous spot to enjoy a memorable meal. Reservations are advised, especially during busy times, as the menu changes throughout the day, and some signature dishes may not be available during brunch.
