Very reasonable prices too ($14.99 for a 2-piece). Have tried a few other items: seafood chowder and a fancy salad. Everything was good. In the summer head for the patio. The inside is nothing fancy and as advertised (family restaurant) but the patio is probably the nicest in town.

It's brand new and in the space of an old antique shop so I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume there will be some finessing of details here. First, we stopped in because it's supposed to be a bakery so we were going to get a treat to eat. From the get-go, the giant sand parking lot isn't very appealing especially when people are stirring it up in your face as they pull into the lot or leave. There are also some awkwardly placed picnic benches crammed into the corner of the property so expect to be trampling into the weeds if you're going to sit at one. Also - no umbrellas and again, a bunch of dust while you are eat/sit. Going in, it was quite confusing. We didn't realize this is a sit down restaurant but they also have ice cream and they sell baked goods. We assumed a bakery would have a nice selection of items but there is a weird two-sided shelf with very poorly displayed mediocre looking baked goods. Everything here is wrapped in plastic and it doesn't look overly appealing. There are also a few trays on the very awkward counter but we opted to just pass on the baked goods as nothing really looked worthwhile so we bought a few drinks and decided to leave. Paying is another interesting event here as there's nowhere to even put your purchases and wallet down while you pay, adding to the oddity of the place. We were shocked at such an extensive menu for a brand new place that bills itself as a bakery. Chicken dinner? A little odd. It seems like way too many things are going on at once here for anything to actually be done great. Overall, we did not have a good first impression and we definitely won't be rushing back. If you're craving good, quality baking, drive a few more minutes down the road to Bee's Knees where you'll get the real goods!

At first we thought its a bit pricey for a sandwich but it was a special treat after all Very busy location but you can eat outside which was lovely And it was great to be in the company of a very beautiful person who treated me for lunch Highly recommend the BLT or the ham and swiss sandwich ..yes you can tell the difference of a quality sandwich... And we had Black Bean Brownie and a date square just to finish off... With nice sourdough bread... It was filling to the point I only had a snack for supper time Will definitely be back... really delicious ..great stuff plenty of options...very hippie groovy type vibe inside Lots of options to eat outside or walk down to the park and eat there by the water I highly recommend if you're looking for a healthy delicious sandwich choice Can't pick a favourite dessert.. but will say they Ham.n Swiss was probably my favourite sammie Easy location to get to once you come over the bridge and lots of parking I tell you.. you will feel healthy eating here even the desserts lol

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.
