There is also a store section on the top and bottom floors with cute local merch (mugs, tea towels, cards, etc.) I highly recommend as the coffee is tasty and less than Starbucks. The vibe of the restaurant is very relaxing as well.

I visited this shop one Friday afternoon while I was visiting a friend and her new baby in the IWK. This giftshop is located in the lobby area, next to the food court and where the underground parking garage is. They sell everything from food to pictures to books to umbrella's and much more. They are a little bit on the costly side, but it's great convenience when you need a gift for the new baby and mom.

If you are coming to Peggy's cove for a good lobster meal with scenic views of the ocean and…read morelighthouse, the Sou Wester restaurant is the place to check out! We ordered the Fresh Steamed Lobster - Market price served with garlic butter, coleslaw and homemade potato salad Seafood Platter - a platter of haddock, baked shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops, steamed mussels, with fries and coleslaw Seafood Chowder Overall, this restaurant offers high-quality seafood. The lobster was exceptionally fresh, and I especially enjoyed their homemade potato salad. The chowder was rich, creamy, and delicious, though it contained quite a lot of potatoes, something to keep in mind depending on how you like your chowder. The restaurant also includes a gift shop, so after your wonderful meal, you can stock up on some souvenirs from Peggys Cove. Enjoyed this dining experience and plan to come back again.

Let me just say this: the service here is something special…read more We had a reservation, and the host--whose name I wish I remembered--went above and beyond to make sure we got the best table. Overlooking the lighthouse, at sunset. That moment alone made the meal unforgettable. And then the food landed. The lobster roll was everything I hoped for. But it was the seafood platter that really got me. The fish was perfectly done--crispy, golden batter with just the right heft. I always say, you can tell a good fish and chips from the first bite of the batter. This one passed with flying colours. But more than the food, this place teaches a masterclass in service. Peggy's Cove draws tourists from everywhere--different cultures, languages, expectations. I watched the staff handle it all with warmth and patience. Some customers barely spoke a word, but the team's kindness cut through it all. No tension, no stress--just people being good to other people. It reminded me: kindness is a universal language. Stick to that, and everything else falls into place. Thank you, Sou'Wester, for a meal that was not only delicious, but full of grace. You made our evening feel like something out of a storybook.
