Restaurants near Rose Bay

“I recently dined at this charming restaurant. Nestled in Rosebay, NS, its rustic decor, and cozy atmosphere immediately made me feel at home. The friendly staff added to the welcoming ambiance, providing excellent service throughout my visit. Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the lobster roll. It was a true culinary masterpiece. The lobster was tender, fresh, and generously portioned. The roll was perfectly toasted, adding a satisfying crunch to each bite. The combination of flavors and textures was simply heavenly. Overall, this restaurant is a hidden gem that offers not only delicious food but also a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a seafood enthusiast or simply looking for a great dining experience, I highly recommend giving it a try.”

“We loved everything about our dining experience at Beach Pea! From the cute decor to the excellent service (shout out to Justin) to the delicious gourmet food, this is a must try if you are in Lunenberg. Be sure to make a reservation as even on a Sunday evening it was very busy! Our favourites were the Sepia pasta and the scallop & lamb risotto…and of course, the desserts (if you have to choose just one, the cheesecake is mouthwatering).”

“Sweet Treasures Confectionery in Lunenburg is an absolute gem! Their homemade ice cream and treats are out of this world—rich, creamy, and full of flavour. Seth makes every visit a pleasure with his warm, friendly demeanour, always greeting us with a smile. Our Irish Wolfhounds are spoiled too, thanks to the thoughtful pup cups that make them feel just as welcome. A must-stop spot in town for both people and pups!”

“When you are visiting lumenburg, NS . You should try the local Subway 's Lobster sandwich. So good , And good price .Two fro $30. Tastier and cheaper than have it in restaurant.”

“Quicker service and better quality consistently I find in Lunenburg vs Annapolis Valley locations we're used to back home. Lunenburg's iced capp is closest to the original recipe that I have found in Nova Scotia, which is a treat because home I wouldnt want them even if they were free as they are so gross and oddly flavored. So we always indulge when in Lunenburg since we 90% quit Tim's back home.”

“Review: 10/10 Experience at Dockside Dockside is a year-round operating restaurant that truly captures the essence of Nova Scotia. With a full breakfast menu and an impressively large selection for lunch and dinner, there’s never a shortage of options—even for those with a more acquired taste. Their homemade, authentic "Maritime" dinners are a hit with both tourists and locals alike. The pricing is competitive for the South Shore, especially considering the unbeatable view—Dockside sits right on the Lunenburg harbourfront, offering what is arguably the best dining view in town. While wait times can vary depending on the crowd, especially in peak summer, the atmosphere and scenery make it well worth it. Despite the fast-paced environment, the staff are consistently friendly and efficient. I’ve seen them handle everything from packed patios to large bus tours with grace and professionalism. Every visit feels like a unique, enjoyable experience. Dockside perfectly blends local charm with quality service. And really—what better way to kick off your trip to Lunenburg than dining with a front-row seat to the Bluenose II setting sail? Highly recommend—10/10!”
