    Spectacular experience in Advocate Harbor. One of the best meals we have had in a very long time…read more Excellent presentation, freshness and taste!

    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.
