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

“Atmosphere, service, food and drink options are all top-(k)notch. Thank you all, I’ll see my way out.”

“Quiche with bacon was a 10/10 & the raspberry lemon cheese she was amazing 🤤”

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

“We've found this hidden gem by accident and we loved it! The Portuguese custard tarts were amazing, and the service (great vibe from the girl behind the counter) and the atmosphere make this coffee house a must-visit spot in Chester.”

“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.”

“My husband and I stopped here tonight and it did NOT disappoint. First, we dropped in around supper time with no reservation and they kindly found a table for us. We both decided on the fish and chips. My husband ordered a beer and I tried the Lighthouse & Wolfville Bubbly Rose NV. It is very good. Our food arrived quickly and the fish was very good, light, not at all greasy and so delicious as were the fries. Everything was nice and hot except for the coleslaw which wasn’t what I was expecting but still very good. The in house tartar sauce was also very good and fresh as you could taste the dill. We couldn’t even find room for dessert as the fish was so large. My husband just finished all his and I was only able to get through half of mine. All in all, I would highly recommend. Beautiful little spot to eat!”

“I have celiac so finding a safe place to eat is challenging! Rebecca's has a dedicated fryer and the best gluten free fish and chips I've had in ages! Great service, great food, and a great atmosphere! Definitely recommend you stop and eat here!”

“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”

“Very nice place to sit, and have a drink. As a non-beer drinker, I was thrilled to see they had Mead on tap - with the opportunity to taste before committing to a glass. This is my first time in NS to see Mead on tap. We also enjoyed the bonus of games at every table to play while enjoying beverages.

Would 100% recommend, and would visit again when in the area. Thanks for a great experience!”

“I thoroughly enjoy my Laughing Whale Frankly Sumatra. Thank you @Shorebound Books for carrying it in Shelburne, NS!”

“Fantastic restaurant! Everything is gluten-free, and everything is absolutely delicious. The owner/chef is very talented, and the menu is small but it has something for everyone and it's always divine. We had come of the best pan-seared cod here - simple but somehow it was incredible. This is one of our favourite places in Lunenburg not only for the food but the cocktails are great too. ;)”

“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.”

“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.”

“Thank you for a lovely evening celebrating the milestone birthdays of two dear friends! 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!”

“I haven't had a pizza from Big Red's for sometime now. But i guarantee when I do. it will be very good. I live in Dartmouth. There was a pizza place called Mama Mia's pizza in woodside. Tassel owned it. it was the best pizza ever. Plus all the food was great. A pizza from Big Red's come very close to Tassel's pizza. Tassel closed the business and Big Red's is to far to get a pizza on a regular basis. There is no comparison to a pizza from Big Red's. The best.”

“I was just in Lunenberg for the day, I stopped by for a quick lunch and coffee. The service was great, quick and friendly. My sausage on a bun had fresh sauteed peppers and onions that were great not overcooked to mush... the decaf coffee was hot and fresh. The carrot cake was nice and moist with just enough icing on it.I definitely will go back on my next trip to Lunenberg!!!”

“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”

“I was served by 2 younger people, on contrary to some reviews, the carrots cake I bought was really good, the staff were patient while I decided and polite, this was at HEC”

Dietary restrictions: I'm gluten free and was easily accommodated with yummy options!”
