“easily one of the best coffees I've ever had, insisted we make time on the other side of a stay in Lunenburg to hit it again. Canadiano was toptier. plus it's on the Mahone Bay Faerie Trail Walk, which is also a treat, kid loved it, honestly I loved it. Great place”

“Whether you go for the wholesome breakfast bowl or the decadent Eggs Benedict, this brunch spot delivers on both flavor and quality. The hollandaise sauce alone is enough to make this place worth returning to, but the well-executed dishes and welcoming atmosphere make it a must-try for any brunch enthusiast.”

“I had the stir fried noodles with chicken and can't wait to have it again, delicious.”

“This was such a great place to visit the pies all of them that we tried were amazing. I can’t wait till we are back and able to try it again. We also bought a birthday cake. It was really cute and nicely decorated and tasted great.”

“The owners are super helpful and friendly. Love their theme and view sitting inside. Highly recommend ❤️”

“I am from Atlanta GA and had the pleasure of discovering these Cinnamon swirls at Petite Riviere General Store while camping at Rissers Beach Campground on vacation...I purchased 2 swirls and they were the best I have ever eaten...Since the General Store only gets a shipment on Fridays, I was not able to purchase anymore...So on our way to visiting Halifax for the day, we made a detour off of Hwy 103 to Blockhouse and stopped at Boulangerie La Vendeenne...where I forced myself (Yeah right!!!) to buy 8 more to enjoy in the mornings with a cup of tea...But the story does not end here...That following Friday as we towed our camper to our next destination, we stopped at the General Store and purchased 5 more Cinnamon swirls (Like I was going to pass on that oppourtunity!)...As of today, I am down to only 1 1/2 swirls left and they are just as good out of the freezer and warmed as they were fresh in Nova Scotia!...I sure wish Boulangerie La Vendeenne would ship to the US as I would certainly enjoy ordering some for special occasions!”

“SUPERIOR service by Abby today - amazingly accommodating and helpful with gluten friendly/free options. Had a horrible experience at The Grand Banker recently and The Knot Pub blew us away.”

“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.”

“First time in Lunenburg, and we were not sure where to eat. We like to go where the locals go and this was a great choice. Chef Paolo prepares the food right at the bar. We had oysters and the haddock dinner and both were prepared to perfection. Would go back to this place in a heart beat!”

Atmosphere was very relaxed, our meals were incredible (especially considering our party of 4 included one celiac and one vegetarian) cocktails were yummy - overall simply a truly enjoyable evening. The surprise fizz and dessert with candle for our friends was very thoughtful!”

“Went with my wife on a Sunday evening and got a table right away. Service was super quick, deep fried pepperoni appetizer in under 5 minutes, and our mains arrived before we were done with it. The big breakfast and haddock burger were both delicious, like a home-cooked meal. Fries with dill sauce were a standout. Generous portions and great value!”
