    It was a nice day in Sydney, so we were looking for a place where we could eat lunch outside. We…read moreweren't having much luck on Charlotte St, and most of the places that did have patios looked kind of chainy or we just weren't interested in the food. Finally, we followed the homemade signs on the road promising fresh seafood chowder. Gio's Seafood Chowder Bus is literally a bus, parked on the corner of Wentworth & Esplanade. The back of the bus is the kitchen, and the inside of the bus has been converted to counters and stools where you can sit and eat your food. They also had a few tables outside, so we ordered our food inside the bus and then came back out to eat. Besides their signature seafood chowder, they also have fish & chips, pan fried haddock, scallops & fries, chicken burgers, hot dogs, and BBQ pork sandwiches. We both went for the seafood chowder, which was made from lobster, crab, scallops, and haddock. It was absolutely delicious, probably some of the best chowder I've ever had. I wished I had had ordered a 16oz bowl instead of a 12oz bowl. Another lady sitting near us got the scallops & chips, which looked great because the scallops were a really nice size and not too greasy. All the seafood is fresh bought locally, which really makes a difference in the quality. We had a nice long chat with one of the owners, who told us all about how and where he gets the fresh local seafood, since as he was telling us, the locals know their seafood and can really tell the difference between something local and something imported and lower quality. He was fun to talk to, and it gave us a real piece of local flavor to hear all about life in Sydney. I'm really glad we came here rather than a big restaurant, and I'm never going to forget that seafood chowder.

    Don't bother looking for it. It's not where it says it is. We walked the whole area looking for it.read more

    Family food done right. Seated promptly, friendly efficient staff, knowledgeable server, everything…read moreclean. All good starts. Then the food arrived - very timely, especially considering the hardships of staffing in 2022. The best part was the food! We ordered the fish & chips & a Senior dinner - Haddock. Delicious. Then came dessert: Home baked Butterscotch Pie (impossible to find in our neck of the woods, a lucky find on vacation) - the real thing. Also Blueberry pie - warmed. Lovely crust, great flavor. Five stars all around.

    Came back for lunch over the 2017-18 holidays, maybe on the 26th or 27th, and we were the only…read moretable taken, and it was pushing noon. By the time we left around 1, there were more customers, but it wasn't as busy as the prior year when I had come here for supper. Friendly, standard service. My side Caesar salad was quite good, standard, but flavorful, and a large size for a side. I thought by ordering two small dishes, I wouldn't be too full, but that plus the potato skins I got, I couldn't finish it all. The skins were not bad, with a fair bit of cheese, some bare skins at the side/bottom as often is the case, but no real complaints. My friend had the hot hamburger with fries & side of carrots, which he liked enough, but didn't find it memorable. For dessert he tried the mince meat pie and liked it a fair bit, as did I the coconut cream pie. (after being so full from my meal that I could barely breathe, i still had a sweet tooth.. lol). So this place is not on my top favorite list of Sydney restaurants, but I find it relaxing, homey and simple enough where I'd still come back anytime someone suggested.
