Restaurants near Mahone Bay

“Smoked Tofu Rainbow Bowl is an exquisite lunch choice if you are a veggie lover!”

“I don’t leave too many reviews but wowwwwww. Rebecca’s food was fantastic. In particular, the Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve had in NS, and the coffee cheesecake was OMGawwwwsh delicious. I will go back looking for both of these menu items again. Our server was also delightful, gifting our three year old with a souvenir rock she had hand painted with a lobster which my toddler now proudly displays on her bedside table. Thanks for a lovely lunch. This is a special gem of a restaurant!”

“Always get a donair or pizza once or twice per month since the new owners took over and it has always been good. Definitely recommend.”

“Nothing makes you feel young again like sitting by the water and eating ice cream! There were lots of flavours to select from and the staff was friendly and very pleasant. We stopped here twice on our trip through the area.”

“We enjoyed the best ever Samosas today…a beef and donair one…we also enjoyed the key lime and also the mango cheesecake…just divine…we are looking forward to the cinnamon roll with coffee tomorrow morning and lasagna with Ricotta for lunch…tomorrow. We will visit again Thank you Wanda & Paul Amherst NS”

“Five stars! The location was quaint and right near the water, on the Main Street. Fresh seafood and EXCELLENT steaks. We started with the 3-cheese fondue (a Yugoslavian recipe) and Caesar salads (with the perfect tang of anchovy). Live music on Fridays created the perfect ambience. This is THE PLACE to go in Mahone Bay. PERFECTION! The Noels from New Orleans. August 2024.”

Parking: Enough parking, best location.”

“Salt Shaker is my absolute Favourite restaurant in Nova Scotia! The best atmosphere, people, drinks and the food is INCREDIBLE. The Scallop Linguine is my go to! And they do mussels so perfectly. Their Chocolate Mousse is the best for dessert!!! Whenever we have visitors in town this is the must stop on the list. Highly highly recommend you check them out!”

“The Brisket tacos were amazing. I will definitely be sampling other items on the menu in the near future.”

“Had clams and chip, My mom had fish and chips and my husband had Seafood Chowder.
My husband recieved his chowder first. We however had to wait almost 15 more minutes for ours. This has happened twice to us. All your food should be serve to your table all at once. My husband was done his before we even got ours. And I always thought seafood chowder consists of some fish,clams, scallops and lobster. But when my husband received his it had lots of fish a few clams and potatoes.
As for mom and the fish and clams were good but the fries weren't done enough.. our waitress however was very pleasant.”

“So getting delivery was tough, because apparently if the owner has the day off - no one else can drive buttt no one told me that - just kept saying call back. I gave up after 5 attempts between 11a-7p on a Thursday 🤷🏻‍♀️ However, the food was worth the wait!! I got the Italian pizza, Cesar salad, and fish and chips. Italian pizza: Great ingredients- just needs more sauce toward the center Cesar salad: Pretty ok. I was disappointed they put the dressing on the salad & not the side, but could be on me for not asking for that? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Fish and Chips: Absolutely the star of the meal. Some of the best fish I’ve ever had and the tartar sauce was on POINT. Must get if you eat here. Overall - 4/5 … easily a 5 with a few adjustments 🙂”

“A warm atmosphere, with delightful offerings of food/drinks, gifts, and conversation. *also, a very flattering bathroom mirror 😁 Thank you very much!”

“Get the lobster bisque - you're welcome 😊 🙏🏽

Parking: It's on the corner so you've got options to park, but the streets are narrow so I'd recommend a smaller car and not a half tonne truck”

“I love this place and go here all the time! It’s always amazing food and most of the time there is great service. Went in today and this girl named Sheri was very rude to me and my friends. She was full of complaints and sighs whenever we took our orders. We got to go and she kept giving us looks whenever she passed us, and she kept giving us snarky remarks.

On the other hand, Christina was AMAZING! Helped us take our orders, was very pleasant and extremely polite. I love this place but Sheri’s service was so bad I don’t know if I would give them my business anytime soon, and I’ll be leaving if I see Sheri there again.”
