What an awesome find and just an hour or so from Halifax. It's only open from May (for the…read moredelightful restaurant) until the end of blueberry picking in September. And it's well worth marking it in your calendar for a wonderful day trip. The restaurant has a fabulous menu - you must try the blueberry poppyseed dressing - on a salad, or chicken - like the smoked chicken quesedilla. They even have a children's menu. But our little ones were too little (not to mention messy) to eat in their beautiful dining room. Not a problem though. There are picnic tables just outside right next to a Koy pond and some of the gazillion blueberry bushes where you can take out a sandwich or bring your own picnic. And speaking about blueberries. This pick-your-own farm is so big, they actually have a big, air conditioned bus to take you around to the best spots to pick and then collects you after you fill up your buckets.

Had an good meal. Appetizer (Tomato soup) was the standout. It was made with fresh tomatoes and was…read moreprobably the best tomato soup I have ever had. The mains were good but my Salmon was a bit overcooked and the Scallops were good but really didn't stand out. The biggest disappointment on the mains was the vegetable stir fry. It was bland and pretty tasteless. I would have preferred to just have some fresh beans steamed. The service was great and the setting is really wonderful. Unless it is really cold or windy I suggest you sit outside. Most people were sitting inside so we had the porch to ourselves and it was definitely the best seat in the house. Overall it is great but I would say that the mains are all almost exactly $10 overpriced. It was about $80 between two of us for appetizers, a main and splitting a desert. One of us also have a glass of wine.

We buy beautiful vegetables, have fish and chips at the little stand and then leisurely walk through the park with ice-cream. We changed it up this weekend. We played Farmer's Golf- and we're so glad we did. We always wondered what it was. We saw the sign for Farmer's Golf a million times before stopping to find out what it was. A quick google search brought up a very interesting type of golf. We had to try. We paid ten dollars each at the market and then walked up to the golf course AKA Farmer's field and orchard. We met up with the owner at the clubhouse and she gave us a score card, a mini soccer ball and a club which consisted of a shaft with a wooden clog at the end. Amazing. She taught us how to hit the ball and we went on our way. This game is hilarious. There are ten holes through orchards, fields and more. The hole is a sunken flowerpot in the ground. There is technique to this game- which we finally discovered a few holes in. We giggled the entire time- it was just awesome. So Hennigar's appears to have done it again. An amazing market, great take out shack, adorable park with animals and now golf. What's next? I can't wait!

Located…read morejust off Main Street, it's a small place with a limited variety of standard flavours and the ability to "make your own" by choosing from a long list of ingredients and then watching them knock it up. We were somewhat time constrained, so just went for the salted caramel, served in a home made cone and a generous scoop to boot. Quite superb! With more time it would be fun to come up with your own combination and see what happens. Nice little garden out front with a couple of picnic tables. A must visit on any summer trip to the delightful town of Wolfville.

It's your standard Eggs Benny sandwiched between two thick slices of homemade bread (your choice of white, whole wheat or multigrain - no less!) and a bowl of some of the tastiest Hollandaise I've found in the past few months. All tucked away in an unassuming, down-home diner in Port Williams - a quick drive from downtown Wolfville! More people need to know about this! Four tables covered in business cards of diners-gone-by are set up in a space about the size of a loading elevator surrounded by antiques and collectibles of all kinds including a very important sign: 'Patience required as good food takes time to prepare.' Why so important? Well, there's only one person cooking back there. ONE. If she doesn't make it, you're not eating it. It makes for consistently hearty and satisfying meals, but it does increase your wait time. Portions are HUGE (actually, the burgers border on obscene...), everything is made fresh on site, and the prices are more than affordable considering what you get! And on that note, hit up an ATM at the corner store next door since it's all cash only!

Great little hole in the wall place in Port Williams. The sign on the wall states: Patience…read morerequired as good food takes time to prepare. That says it all. It is small and cozy. Even when it was only half full we overhead the waitress welcoming new customers with "We will get to you as soon as we can". The waits weren't long, and the food was great! I rediscovered the origins of hash browns in their culturally authentic Acadian grated potato pancakes - the size of a Frisbee. Crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Lots of potato flavour! The middle sized breakfast was huge - eggs, bacon, home fries and great homemade bread. Annnd - one can substitute the potato pancakes for home fries!!!! Unfortunately it can't get a 5 star because they were seen reusing the homemade jam from the individual servings - scrape the top, smooth it out and add more to the top. As much as I encourage good economics of not throwing out tons of jam - this isn't a great practise:-( So, I leave it to your judgement - food great, space small, cash only and great prices. I hope they survive and thrive in Port Williams.
