The decor is older, but fitting, and there was a large patio with extra seating as well.

Truly a hidden gem in town…read more This intimate, low key, treasure of a place was our greatest find in Lunenburg. It's a limited menu of lovely options. Delicious food prepared by people who know what they're doing. After experiencing the frenzy of the "vibe" in town, this was such a relief.

We had a fantastic meal at Salt Shaker Deli in Lunenburg, and the locally sourced ingredients…read morereally stood out. The scallop linguini was amazing, featuring Adams & Knickle scallops, Oulton's smoked bacon, arugula, garlic, and Parmesan. The combination of fresh local scallops with the smoky bacon and greens was absolutely delicious. Love seeing local ingredients showcased this well! Their lobster roll was also one of the best we've had. Great seasoning with tarragon, mayo, celery, and greens, all tucked into a homemade roll. Simple, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The seafood linguini was basically Nova Scotia on a plate... loaded with scallops, mussels, and shrimp. We absolutely loved it... although it could have used just one more local ingredient: lobster! And then there was the linguine limone, which was another standout. Bright, fresh lemon zest with toasted pine nuts made for a fantastic pasta. By the end, there was absolutely no room for dessert which is probably a good sign of how much we enjoyed the meal! Great local ingredients, generous portions, and delicious seafood. A must-try when visiting Lunenburg.

Pretty happy with this meal. Loved Beach Pea Kitchen so went to this year round restaurant owned…read moreby the same people. Came on a Tuesday - busy!!! Tourist season. Had to wait about 20 minutes before got the call to come on down. They have something for everybody - sandwiches, pizza, proper seafood dishes. Had scallops and linguine. Tasty, generous portion and local scallops from across the street. The bowl of chowder was loaded with seafood and the mussels were seasoned well. Service was good. Food came out fairly quickly. Definitely would come back in future!

We had our breakfast here this morning, we ordered veggie hash and omelette…read more Veggie hash was a nice surprise, had quinoa, veggies and eggs cooked together, it had the Sweetest asparagus that I have ever had. The hash felt a little dry with just toast but then with some jam on the toast, it felt perfect. The toast, their homemade wheat and white mixed was a chunky one,very soft, huge portion size.. homemade jam was delicious too. Omelet too was nice, but overcooked for my liking but good otherwise. You could hear the sizzle of eggs hitting the pan while you wait for your order and then you hear the bell ding, meaning your order is ready, gave the place an old work charm. The place could use few improvements - get rid of weed around the entrance door - as you enter the cafe you are hit with the 'old' smell - the bathrooms could be cleaner

It felt like it was fighting back. Service was very "quick" and seemed like the restaurant was entitled to my business as compared to earning it. Bill was close to $200 and it basically was "just to eat" as compared to "a dining experience". Nice ambiance but just was not worth it.

I've found that mediocre steak sandwiches are extremely common and truly good ones are truly rare…read more Mine was by far the best steak sandwich I've ever had. Not a bit of fat, good sear on the outside, medium-well in a the center. Garlic aioli applied in just the right (small) amount and compliments the other flavors/ingredients (provolone, bread was... a thin brioche?) perfectly. I also had a side Caesar salad, which again are notorious for not having any effort put into them, and just a box to be checked. This however could easily have been the main dish. Star of the show was the thick, ample chunks of savory bacon, there from the first bite to the last... without overpowering. Every square millimeter of lettuce had dressing and cheese. Perfect. Wife had the salmon. Boy had the chicken club. Daughter the curry. Everyone was thrilled with their dishes. If I was a local I'd be going back regularly.
