Mac and Cheese and lobster Panini

We had lobster panini's one with Mac and cheese and the other with Halibut chowder as a side. The Halibut chowder was a little grainy which leads me to believe it was leftover and re heated. The Max and Cheese was very good and quite tasty. The lobster Panini's were brilliant and very tasty and flavourful. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and would recommend without hesitation.

So good!!!

We were traveling from PEI to Halifax. When taking the bridge Truro is about the midway point and a very nice place to stop. They have a farmers market and a walkable downtown and of course this super cute bistro specializing which specializes in Paninis and salad at least at at lunch. Made with only freshest( and primarily local ingredients) our lunch was beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. We both had the salmon and goat cheese panini with salads on the side and could not have been happier! So delicious and it really hit the spot! Even our beverages were both yummy and well presented with whimsical (and reusable) glass swizzle sticks. If you are looking for an alternative to the ever present fried seafood or just a break on your drive from here to there, you would be hard pressed to find a better spot. Ps they also have plenty of outside seating for those that enjoy the sun.

Cozy modern interior

The food was outstanding and the service was awesome. The Thursday night Prime Rib special is not to be missed.

This restaurant is on the Nova Scotia "Chowder Trail" and deservedly so. Their version was scrumptious. Great sandwiches too.

Little Gull Bistro - Mushroom toast

Little Gull Bistro

(7 reviews)

For my 40th birthday dinner, we tried out New Glasgow's newest dining hotspot, Little Gull Bistro…read more Taking over the space of the more concisely-named The Bistro, new proprietors Tom and Willow are breathing some fresh air into the county's dining scene. Their new fall menu features bistro classics like French onion soup, oysters and steak, but gives them a more upscale structure and puts regional farmers front and centre. Little Gull's house-made pastas also feature prominently, something that will be sure to make them stand out once word spreads. Once you go fresh, pasta is never the same again! We started out our meal with a dish that's ubiquitous at up-casual restaurants - mushroom toast. Buttery mushrooms on fresh bread - what's not to like? Unless you're one of those babies that doesn't like mushrooms. Yeah, I said it! Little Gull's house-made focaccia was airy, moist and thickly cut to support its load of savoury goodness. Creme fraiche tied the decadently hearty fungi together with its lightly tart creaminess, while some generous shavings of Grana Padano added saltiness and doubled down on the umami. For my milestone meal main (MMM), I was enticed away from the pasta by one particular ingredient on one particular dish - the black garlic cream sauce on the chicken fricassee. Black garlic is garlic which has been cooked at very low temperatures for a very long time (two weeks, when I made it once), but it's well worth the wait! What you get in the end is incredibly rich, complex and of course, still recognizable as garlic. You could eat this stuff like candy, or at least I could. I'm not normally one to get the chicken dish at a restaurant, as my wife isn't big on red meat and I like to diversify our order, but this was far from a consolation prize. Every part of it was perfectly executed - ultra-crisp fingerling potatoes; tender chicken breast, whose skin was bubbly and super crisp; and that black garlic cream sauce...Amped up with some more Porter River Farms 'shrooms, it was everything I hoped it would be. Some seasonal veg rounded out the dish, and was certainly head and shoulders above your forgettable steamed/boiled veg at old school places around the county, but the aforementioned stars of the dish certainly out shone them. My wife's main was the pork cotoletta, which while Italian in its name, was very German in its execution. A bone-in cut of pork gets the schnitzel treatment and gets paired up with braised red cabbage, fingerling potatoes and apple butter. It was a hefty plate and I gladly did my husbandly duties and finished off  what my wife couldn't/was strategically leaving room for dessert. I liked that the pork was from a more flavourful cut than the traditional tenderloin that's used in schnitzel, and it was deftly cooked, as its tenderness was hardly any different from that prime cut. The breading was fantastically crisp and golden brown. I'm of two minds that the bone-in factor isn't mentioned on the menu. A little heads up would be nice, although in theory you're not just picking it up with your hands and chowing down - your knife and fork are going to let you know what you can and can't eat. On the other hand, too many people these days are babies about any meat that isn't steak that has a bone in it, so Little Gull may not want to put people off from even trying a great dish. In the end, I think they chose the right path, although I wouldn't be surprised if I just over-thought the whole situation For dessert, we went with Little Gull's apple sundae. This seasonal delight has apple ice cream that they make in-house, combined with sauteed apples, oatcakes, whipped cream and warm, salted caramel sauce that will satisfy your sweet tooth without putting you at risk of a diabetic coma. Service was easy going and attentive, with GM and co-owner Tom impressively recognizing me from social media and checking on us (as he did everyone). While my first visit to Little Gull was for a big day, their food is too damn good to wait for another special occasion, and I look forward to diving deeper into their menu in the near future!

Great food, atmosphere and service. French onion soup and Pasta dishes were excellent. All locally…read moresourced ingredients.
