    Our group had visited Peggy's cove and the lighthouse and anyplace to eat there was extremely busy…read more We started driving out of town and noticed Cafe l Acadie and were really glad we did. We like to try new foods and we don't always like them, but the adventure is in exploring new food cultures. The food here was really good! Some folks that tried the Rappie pie or bites weren't enthused about them but glad they tried. It's one of those acquired tastes I assume. I had the meat pie and really enjoyed it. Those that had fish and chips said they were really good.

    What is Acadian food? Well, for us it was fish cakes, meat pie, and rappie bites. Most of the menu…read morewas Acadian, as identified by a French flag next to the item. If those don't appeal , there are a small number of standards like fish&chips, lobster roll, and poutine. My l'Acadie Fishcakes were made from salt fish (cod?) from Nova Scotia, expertly pan-fried. The portion was reasonable - though they were so good I could have eaten a third. They were served without a sauce (not needed), accompanied by house-made baked beans and marinated carrots. The sides were no afterthought either; the red beans were baked (not overbaked) in a flavorful sauce, and the carrots, thinly sliced, were sweet and tangy. The wife got the l'Acadie Meat Pie: a 1/4 portion of a round pie. The filling was the shredded meat, a blend of chicken, beef, and pork (!), seasoned with garlic and spices. This was inside what was described as a biscuit crust. Overall this was very good, not heavy like a meat pie can be, and not dry - but if you find it so there is the au jus gravy on the side. We didn't find it necessary. This pie was served with an excellent Caesar Salad. We split an order of Rappie Bites, which is a way to experience rappie pie in appetizer form. A filling made from grated potatoes and ground chicken, formed into golf-sized balls and deep fried. Interesting. I was expecting a firmer texture like a hush puppy which they resembled but the filling in these were soft and contained by the slightly crispy crust (of bread crumbs?) Unlike the bites which are always available, the pie is a specialty, available only on Sunday, and advance reservations are recommended to guarantee you can get it. I haven't had it in pie form and would maybe try it, but the meat pie was so good I might end up getting that again instead. I had a local cider to drink. Several local craft beers were available as well as wine. I don't remember if liquor was available. There were several desserts but we didn't try them. The only one specifically identified as Acadian was the Pouding Chômeur, described as a dumpling-like cake batter which caramelizes when baked, in a homemade maple sauce. Also ginger molasses cake, maple bread pudding, apple crisp, and strawberry shortcake - with the biscuits made in-house. As I am writing this they all sound so good I wish we had tried one - or more!

    What a terrific lunch at such a unique spot. That BIG Purple…read moreHouse on your left before you get to the lighthouse is worth a second glance. The colour catches you, but the Bistro will keep you. OMH what a good spot. We were up for Fish & Chips, done as Halibut and yummy crusted fries. Served with a house tartar. Hubby decided on the Sliders with pickles and a side of onion rings.. and a mustardy onion sauce. We smorged through these gems and then Janet got us! She slid that sweets menu right in there and had us ! We are not cheese cake fans, but the words Cheesecake Parfait-ish took us to task. It would be our changing of minds. It was dead on perfection. OH I should have brought one home. A delectible sweet with a graham crust, custardy filling , topped with cranberry/blueberry compote, and lime shreds. I am in love. More more! We will be back! and highly recommend the newest addition to that eye catching purple place! Go. You will not be disappointed. I am so very glad they decided to open this wonderful spot in June....It is sure to be 'the' table of record out at Peggys Cove... The treasures of Peggys Cove are not always the light house and views. Many times it is right there waiting for you to find it. Dressed in Purple! Happy dining.......... And DO NOT miss that great little shop attached. Found my first Ski Mouse Cracker of 2020!!! and of course some fudge for later.......

    We paid $25 for a reservation. Face verified same day for time. Arrived early. Restaurant…read moreclosed. No call to us at all. Never in 40 years of dining has been so dismissive and disrespectful. "OH, you must not be on the right time zone" like we've traveled internationally for 40 years. They may be great or maybe they are what they are to us. No shows.
