Excellent views. Truly lovely…read more The menu was limited but good. We had the Cesar salad, lobster poutine, burger, lobster tacos and chowder. All were very good. The lobster poutine being the stand out. It was served in a chowder like gravy. Even my toddler was in on that one. Inexpensive for the quality of food and the super view. We arrived very late in the season so they were out of the local wines - a bummer! But not their fault at all. Great spot.

So we took a detour and decided to visit Cape Enrage. Tho we are locals, we have never been here…read morebefore and had no idea there was a restaurant here. We arrived just at the last sitting and tho we hadn't planned to eat there, it was highly recommended by a worker named Cindy. She assured us we would be very happy and told us they had a chef from Poland. We chose the things that were recommended and we were not disappointed at all. We had Lobster poutine, which is nothing like the traditional NB poutines. It was fries, cheese curds under a white creamy cheese sauce and a secret salsa sauce drizzled over lots of fresh chopped lobster. We also ordered the lobster croissant. It came with fries and a salad with a delicious unique sweet vinegar dressing. The croissant was flaky and buttery and so full of lobster you could hardly keep it together. There was enough dressing to be moist but not enough to overpower the lobster flavour. Again excellent! The polish apple pie came highly recommended, so we tried that also. It was definitely different than our typical NB apple pie, but equally as delicious. The presentation was tops!!! The server Kim, did an amazing job and was very kind to answer all our questions. Definitely a place to return to, and would love to bring friends here. It's been awhile since I dined at a restaurant that I came away completely satisfied in service, taste, quality, quantity!

There's hardly anything to choose from, and it's very over priced for what you get. The poutine is only one size and is actually mozza fries with hardly any cheese or gravy, and you hardly get any fries. My friends got regular sandwiches (turkey sandwiches, BLT) and liver and onions, even though that's not what they wanted, there was just hardly anything else to choose from! I wanted soup but they didn't have it on the menu, it was on a small chalk board that you can't see while you're sitting, I seen it while I was going to the bathroom, so after I ordered I was very disappointed to see they actually did have soup. The only thing I liked about this place was the prices of drinks and how kind our waiter was. If you're looking for a meal, maybe try Frank & Gino's.

I don't know why this place isn't jam packed with people wanting the Seafood Chowder because it is…read morehands down THE best chowder I've had in New Brunswick, PEI, or Nova Scotia. No potato filler, real lobster, and delicious, creamy soup. Literally has a tasty seafood morsel in every bite. Hubbies had a decent Chef's Salad and I also had a yummy grilled cheese sandwich on homemade bread. Side Buns were homemade as well but a bit crumbly. Everything was tasty but the stR of the show was definitely the Chowder, can't say enough good things about it! Reasonable price, solid portions. Not fancy but definitely worth a visit.

It's not often I feel 5 stars are justified, but we go to the Wild Caraway yearly and we've never…read morebeen anything but thrilled with the experience. The Wild Caraway is a 4.5 hour drive from where we live now, but when we decided to take a day off this summer and do something fun, that was our obvious road trip destination. On a good weather day the drive between Glenholme and Advocate Harbour is beautiful, and a walk on the beach near Advocate or a hike at Cape Chignecto works up a decent appetite. We landed at the Wild Caraway around 3, in time to catch the lunch menu but a little early for dinner. The restaurant resides in an old farmhouse, refinished taking the history of the placed into account, but painted beautifully funky colours and decorated with creatively placed vintage items - calendars from the 1940s, a frozen meat saw box, likely from the 50's, and vintage beer mugs from a world of interesting events and places. Original artwork hangs around the dining areas and there ar teo rooms for rent upstairs in case the menu of delicious Nova Scotia brews gets the best of you. The Wild Caraway's menu is a little on the short side, but it revolves completely around locally produced meats and in-season vegetables, and as farmers we believe that's something a lot more restaurants should be taking into consideration. The dinner menu actually changes week to week. Troy chose the pasta of the day, fusilli with halibut and fresh veggies tossed with garlic and olive oil. I had the meatloaf burger with fries. When the plates arrived neither portion looked overwhelmingly huge, but the fact that Troy finished without room for dessert, and I left a few fries on my plate is a true indication of how filling it really was. The meal started with fresh baked biscuits, peppered with dulse. Simply delicious. I am not a fan of meatloaf, so I'd hummed and hawed befor ordering, but the burger was absolutely amazing. The grilled pork meatloaf patty was lightly spiced and wrapped in a slice of Oulton's bacon, The toppings were simple - a smoked mayonnaise with lettuce and tomato, but the flavour...oh my! Even when I got to the point where I didn't think another bite was possible I just couldn't let that burger go. It pained me to have to leave a few fries behind, because they were perfectly crispy and as ungreasy as any fry has ever been, but I just wasn't willing to send a bite of that burger back. Troy's pasta looked simple enough, but the garlicky drssing announced its presence long before it hit the table. We are both huge fans. The pasta was delicious, the veggies were beautifully done, and the halibut was cooked perfectly. Sometimes the simplest dishes are the real masterpieces. The Wild Caraway has perfected that perfect balance of fine dining and casual comfort. You can go there in jeans and a t-shirt, you can dress up a little for a special date. The food is consistent and as good as anything I've eaten in this province. The commitment to using Nova Scotian ingredients makes the menu incredible and creative, and the staff know how to make you feel at home from the second you walk through the door. Advocate Harbour is a beautiful feast for the eyes. Top it off with a visit to the Wild Caraway and you'll have a road trip second to none no matter where you're from.

Hunting for a place on Yelp, this stop popped up. So many good reviews, newly remodeled with good…read morefood.. why not. However, the answer is not why, but why not? So so many answers--- Let's start with the good...there's plenty of parking. The bathrooms are numerous and clean. The young man was kind when seating us. Next the almost good? The whiskey bbq burger- came out hot, but the bacon wasn't crispy, was stringy and undercooked. Waiting for my digestive system to process this later to see how it comes through.. Now with the mediocre- nachos. Should have been hotter- chicken probably leftover chicken? Best part the crispy cheese cooked onto the paper. And on to the bad... let's begin with a 30 minute wait for the food. We asked at 26 minutes where things were and why it was taking so long--4 minutes later 2 of the dishes were brought out. My egg was fine but potatoes were cold and the bacon disgustingly cold & flaccid--even worse than in the burger mentioned above. I sent them back-the potatoes were nuked and hot but the bacon still limp, sad and disgusting. The burger came out with the reheated egg dish and was ok.. The best part? The sign directing us to Trueman blueberry farm ice cream which we visited after our meal since we were hungry. Now THAT was amazing and a place you can't miss!

While on a jaunt through the Valley and the Acadian Shore for our tenth (!!!) anniversary, my wife…read moreand I had dinner at Juniper on our first night in Wolfville. It was a lovely and warm, late spring evening, but we ate inside since we were on the later side, and there's still a big difference between dining al fresco in June versus July or August. The interior was subtlely decorated with a light sage green paint that paired well with some mirrors and frames that give an art deco vibe, with just a dash of country decor to keep things from getting too pretentious. The menu is compact, but how enticing nearly everything sounded was encouraging! We ended up getting one of the daily specials - roasted king oyster mushrooms - as one of our starters, as well as baked potato beingets, and the spring risotto and Hopgood's Hot Chicken Sandwich for our mains. The toothsome mushrooms had a great, savoury taste, while the snap peas popped with their signature crunch and bright, vegetal flavour. Wisps of rasped cheese added salty goodness, and some edible flavours brightened the dish up further. I had ordered the baked potato beignets to flesh out my meal since the chicken sandwich is a la carte, but you don't really need a reason to get these other than the fact that they are absolutely incredible! The beignets themselves were fantastic; having never been to New Orleans, I don't have a good point of reference but they were wonderfully crispy on the outside and soft and doughy on the inside, so it's hard to see where they might gone wrong. The baked potato-style toppings amped it up further, with sour cream, smoked cheddar, bacon and chives. I could swear that there was some serious garlic flavour in there was well, but maybe the smoky cheese was throwing my taste buds off. My Hopgood Hot Chicken Sandwich (TM) was a top-notch, fried chicken sandwich. The big piece of thigh had a thick, ultra crispy breading, and pleasant layer of heat from a dousing of hot sauce. Some coleslaw brought a little bite and the creamy "comeback sauce" evened out the heat of the chicken. The toasted, sesame seed-dotted bun held up admirably well to the delicious hot mess within. My wife's spring risotto wowed as soon as we saw the verdant green dish, with asparagus and wild leeks lending their signature, springtime flavours, with further bright bursts from the preserved lemon and pear shoots. Service was relaxed and friendly thought our meal. It's especially satisfying when a destination meal lives up to the hype, and Juniper was firing on all cylinders for our meal with spot-on flavours, execution, ambiance and service.

The menu changes to what is fresh and it was a bit late in the season so it was a bit limited. We started with the beef tartare which was different from what we expected as it had an Asian twist but it was delicious. Also had the oysters with the chefs own fresh hot sauce, also tasty. My wife had the crispy skin salmon which was supposed to come with leaks and peppers but she doesn't like peppers so the chef graciously whipped up a fantastic cauliflower with hazelnut brown butter which was fantastic. I had the pork Milanese with prosciutto basil green beans which was exceptional. If you have room for it don't miss the chocolate eclair for desert, it is heavenly.

If you want fries with your meal instead of Mashed potatoes...you will be delighted, as they are home cut fries, and are fantastic.

My wife likes the pan fried haddock, which is also good. Only down side is that they don't serve alcohol...but there are few few Pubs just up the street if you need and after dinner drink!

The home fries are largish, somewhat ununwieldy chunks of potatoes. They were cooked too long which made them bitter and so hot that my s/o burned her tongue on first bite. Usually I don't complain about hot food but i draw the line at injury. Poached eggs were cooked perfectly and waitress kept swinging by to see if we needed anything.Students started pouring in just as we were finishing up. With the low price not surprised it is popular with University crowd. You can't beat the price at $6.50 for the breakfast, but I wouldn't mind paying a couple extra bucks for some homemade touches like Valley preserves and fresh bread. Nothing about place suggests cafe too me; this place is a diner through and through. Next time hopefully will be able to find someplace a little more special when in Wolfville.

First time here but might give it another try. This was previously the Trattoria where the pizza…read morewas pretty good. Same oven but renos have been done. We opted to sit outside where there is a very large but weird set up of multiple mismatched gazebos along the side and another patio out back where staff smokes in the open right next to propane tanks. Quite a shocker to see and pretty gross while you're eating to being with. The patio was full of dry leaves and didn't look like anyone was interested in sweeping them up. That part aside, the service was good but we were the only ones there during a busy summer touristy day (4 PM) so that would be the bare minimum we'd expect. Server made a mistake but apologized so it wasn't a big deal. The pizzas need work. The taste is really good but the crust was either too thin or just not cooked long enough. Besides the raised sides, both pizzas were completely soggy; we had to roll them into tight little taquitos to eat them. There was no other way, not even with cutlery. It's really too bad because the ingredients are good quality and these could be really nice pizzas with the flavour. If we had to choose again, we'd probably just go to Lightfoot & Wolfville for the same price but a fail-proof pizza. Payment machine doesn't work outside so be prepared to go up to the counter to pay. We'll give this place one more shot because it has potential but the lack of patrons at such a busy time makes us wonder if this is just how it is.

It's your standard Eggs Benny sandwiched between two thick slices of homemade bread (your choice of white, whole wheat or multigrain - no less!) and a bowl of some of the tastiest Hollandaise I've found in the past few months. All tucked away in an unassuming, down-home diner in Port Williams - a quick drive from downtown Wolfville! More people need to know about this! Four tables covered in business cards of diners-gone-by are set up in a space about the size of a loading elevator surrounded by antiques and collectibles of all kinds including a very important sign: 'Patience required as good food takes time to prepare.' Why so important? Well, there's only one person cooking back there. ONE. If she doesn't make it, you're not eating it. It makes for consistently hearty and satisfying meals, but it does increase your wait time. Portions are HUGE (actually, the burgers border on obscene...), everything is made fresh on site, and the prices are more than affordable considering what you get! And on that note, hit up an ATM at the corner store next door since it's all cash only!

Even when it was only half full we overhead the waitress welcoming new customers with "We will get to you as soon as we can". The waits weren't long, and the food was great! I rediscovered the origins of hash browns in their culturally authentic Acadian grated potato pancakes - the size of a Frisbee. Crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Lots of potato flavour! The middle sized breakfast was huge - eggs, bacon, home fries and great homemade bread. Annnd - one can substitute the potato pancakes for home fries!!!! Unfortunately it can't get a 5 star because they were seen reusing the homemade jam from the individual servings - scrape the top, smooth it out and add more to the top. As much as I encourage good economics of not throwing out tons of jam - this isn't a great practise:-( So, I leave it to your judgement - food great, space small, cash only and great prices. I hope they survive and thrive in Port Williams.
