Since this comes up before the more busy part of Peggy's cove there's a bit less traffic with easier parking and a chance at getting a table. The views are great as you get waterside dining, but the real star of the show is the lobster! And I recommend getting the reasonably priced special that comes with a beer. We were also able to switch out our side with the seafood chowder which came with even more lobster! What makes the lobster so good here is they serve female lobsters that are rich with delicious, flavorful roe when it's in season. I went here with my family and all of our lobsters were packed with the good stuff. Safe to say our bellies were stuffed full of delicious seafood before we went off to hike away the calories at Peggy's Cove. The staff were friendly and attentive and we had a great time enjoying lobsters seaside. Definitely make the stop to grab some lobster if you're in the area!

The fish and chips were legit, made from fresh caught haddock, best we've had in Canada! Poutine was perfect, lobster roll was okay, and the local beer/cider options were great!

I knew such a dish would be on the pricier side because of the lobster however I felt like the mayonnaise was so overpowering you could barely taste the lobster which was a bit disappointing. Maybe this is just how they are supposed to taste but I wish they just went easy on the mayo because it was pretty overpowering. Besides that, the rest of the meal was great and the service was pretty good as well!

My partner had the Waldorf salad while I had the summer rolls (a spring roll in a translucent rice wrap). Everything was super fresh and chopped and curly-cut very nicely.

We happened to be there on a warm day and were able to sit on the deck overlooking the quaint houses across the road, and the sea in the distance. Service was friendly and efficient.

Right on Main St in canning where parking is limited out front but many nearby lots for free. The space is not accessible sadly, as there are a few spots to get in. Watch out for the suicide door! Not sure what's going on here, but the hinges need to be readjusted because the door flies open when you turn the knob (also not great for accessibility vs. a handle - and requires Superman to close). So be warned! Minor details aside - the menu is small but priced well for the freshest fish and best local ingredients. The food was clean, not greasy and very tasty. This place is great for take out but also for sitting in if it's not packed. It's really small and quaint with only a few tables so if you're coming in tourist season - call ahead or be prepared for take out only! In addition - this is the new home/bottling location for Pay Day cider where you can purchase on tap, in bottles or refill your own. We only had the Dry cider and while it was nice, it was a little on the sweeter and carbonated side. There are multiple flavours to choose from. We've tried all the spots in the Valley and this is many points above the rest! We watched as people came and went for take out the entire hour we were there. It was telling to see many seniors coming in to pick up family-sized meals.

The diner itself is what you'd expect - plenty of seats and a patio. The prices were decent and the service was quick and friendly. The food however, was a different story. The coleslaw looked like cabbage floating in water. I asked the server if I could get another side of coleslaw that wasn't so watery, she brought me out a new cup but it was exactly the same. I got the haddock tips and fries; the fries were meh, not great but not horrible - the fish was decent. I also had a side of gravy (beef) and it was alright!
