    Shaw's Lobster Roll
    Michael A.

    Wonderful location, excellent food and great staff. Sat outside after a day of kayaking- I had the Shaws Lobster Roll and wife had the whole lobster. Both were some of the best we've ever had! And finished it off with the decadent carrot cake!

    Patio view

    The food and service were very good. Started with the seafood chowder and then I had the 2 piece Halibut fish&chips and my wife had the lobster roll. We then shared a ginger bread for dessert. The view from the patio was perfect. I highly recommend if you're out towards Peggy's Cove.

    Butter lobster roll and seafood chowder.

    The food was delicious. Loved the lobster roll sautéed in butter-did not know that was even an option over the mayo based one. The seafood chowder was amazing! Large chunks of seafood and lobster. The fish and chips were also very moist and abundant and the chips were perfectly fried. Would recommend this to all. Very small restaurant and it was cold and so waited for an inside table but it was definitely worth it.

    A gem in the Peggy's Cove area. Sit and watch the boats as you enjoy the bounties of the sea served here. start with the chowder... full of chunks of halibut, cod, lobster and potatoes in a creamy rich broth. Some of the best seafood chowder I have ever had. Everything else was delicious...the fish and chips and the halibut dinner. and of course...lobster and cold beer...'nuff said.

    I recommend this location. The only reason I removed a star was because we were there for over an hour and a half before receiving the order. The lobster is really worth it! It was just a really long wait we saw people that arrived after us leave one after the other. Most people have ordered the lobster roll. Apparently, they are amazing. We have been jumping from one restorant to another. Trying to taste as many as we could. We did not want to over do it. We got the lobster $50 for the lobster and beer and the clam chowder. They have beer name the dark horse. It is really good and it has a cool name. The lobster was pack with meat. We went to a few place before this one and the lobster was empty. This was nice for a change. The chowder was ok, too much potatoes for me, but it was nice and creamy. It was a very long wait for us but the view is beautiful and we left with happy belly's.

    Lobster Roll + Famous Chowder

    Shaw's Landing is an amazing family owned restaurant near Peggy's Cove and a must-try. They often get compared to the Sou'Wester which is right at Peggy's Cove. However, I did my research and apparently Shaw's Landing is the place to go instead! Apparently, locals like to eat at Shaw's Landing given a similar menu to Sou'Wester but way more affordable. They are also only a ~5 minute drive away from Peggy's Cove! I ordered the Lobster Roll and Famous Chowder and they were excellent! The best Lobster Roll and Seafood Chowder I have ever had. The Lobster Roll was full of lobster meat (mostly shell meat) and it was delicious. The seafood chowder was simply amazing, full of lobster and fish, and you could really taste the seafood here. One thing to mention is the chowder is watery which I thought was interesting given most chowder's I have eaten tend to be quite thick and creamy but I assume this was done intentionally and did not take away from the experience - each spoonful was packed with flavour. The location is excellent, right by the water, parking is free and there is plenty of it. I really enjoyed their decoration which is about the nature of the area. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which makes it quite nice to eat by the sea when the weather is warm. Services is friendly and knowledgeable about the plates, A repeat for me whenever I am in the area!

    It's a good stop on way back from your visit to the South shore. I believe it is open on a seasonal basis.

    Good food but order water to drink. Their ice tea is $2.50 for a small glass and there are NO FREE REFILLS. Each ice tea you order is $2.50.

    Believe the hype! Don't waste your time with fish & chips anywhere else - this is the only stop in…read morethe Valley if you're looking for the best fish & chips. 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.

    From the owner: In the heart of Canning, Nova Scotia, The Canning Cider House offers a great food and drink…read moreexperience. We pride ourselves on fresh, local ingredients, and great house made craft cider made from Valley apples. We have the best Fish & Chips around, alongside other Nova Scotia inspired dishes. So ditch the ordinary and embark on a food and drink adventure that celebrates the best of local flavors.
