I will start by saying that I can absolutely appreciate the impact of the pandemic on restaurants…read more Having said that, putting up posters claiming that there's a 'labour shortage' is just bad practice. Had we noticed that prior to ordering, we would have walked out. We were pretty hungry from driving on our road trip and wanted a decent sit down meal and found pretty good reviews for this place. Upon ordering, it was immediately clear why there was a 'labour shortage' for this owner. The person taking our order at the counter (no table service currently), was the most surly old hag I've ever met. If I wasn't already so hangry and didn't have to wait another hour for one of the other restaurants to open, I would have walked right out. She was crotchety and just seemed generally angry to have to be doing any work at her own establishment. It's really too bad because the food was pretty good here but we couldn't get past how awful of a person this owner was. When the one and only staff member came out to ask us how our meal was, we had to ask if that lady was the owner and what her problem was. We told her that we were surprised anyone would run their business like that and she agreed by shaking her head but almost afraid to say anything. I really regret coming here and would not recommend it solely on the terrible attitude of the owner and the very obvious horrible working conditions for staff working here.

The crepes were absolutely amazing! Although it is very confusing because we walked into an empty…read moreplace and the person behind the counter said nothing. We had to ask if we should sit down or not. We ordered and we were only told our total not spoken to at all. I also never got my drink but was too afraid to say anything. I would definitely come back for the crepes though!

Best coffee on the whole South Shore! Hardly any signage, a local gem. Accessible! (go up the side…read moreof the building and there's a ramp!) I've tried them all, in Lunenburg, including the new Barn. Hands down Number Nine is the most awesome espresso and coffee in the coolest space. Lovely barristas. Place is is owned by a singer, and artists (and locals like boatmakers!) are regulars. Music always great but not obtrusive, peaceful vibe. Charming as heck. Highly recommend this third-wave coffee joint. Don't miss it if you come to Lunenburg! In a historic old grey house. Sometimes a line-up, but it's worth it, so chat with others while you wait and relax. (Also a gorgeous, accessible ramp back garden area - you can bring your dog!) 135 Montague, on the main drag next to a small record store.

Have been researching coffee places to try on our 2 week adventure to NS. Of course, staying in…read moreLunenburg the first option and plenty written about was Laughing Whale. Stopped in on our first morning. Great menu and list of options including pastries and food items. Being a coffee "nerd" it was cool seeing the grinders, drippers, filters, etc on the wall for purchase! Everything was great! Kids loved the cookies, we loved the sausage roll and our coffees were absolutely fantastic. Great flavor, perfect size, and very knowledgeable! I started to have an allergic reaction later in the day so we started tracking down what I had in the day - gave them a call and they helped out with ingredients that they knew of. Later on in the day, we received a phone call back from Steve who had gone out of his way to call his local sources for more ingredient knowledge. Definitely wasn't expecting a return call with extra information! Incredibly nice people and we are already planning our coffee order for tomorrow!

This Tim Horton's is…read moreadjacent to a Circle K quick stop, and no customers were inside and it lacked any ambiance, so we decided to take our order "home." We stood at the counter for several minutes before any employee acknowledged us, then we placed our order to go and waited probably 5 minutes before it was ready. At "home," we had to reheat our chicken patties because they were lukewarm, yet the tomatoes, lettuce and bun were fresh, and the bun overflowed with mayonnaise. Our first time at a Tim Hortons. While not impressed, the food was okay and reminded us of a lonely McDonalds back home. Drinks and wraps and bowls and sandwiches and, surprisingly, donuts and muffins.

Hi! WELL, what a pleasant surprise! A new Restaurant…read morethat sprung up! We arrived just as they closed, haha... but they let us in to chat and buy some of their DELICIOUS baking... Which is ALL made from scratch!! All their Breads are home made and NOT brought in, like at the Rose Bistro down the road.... The owner of this "Hungry Traveler" and their staff are warm and kind people! There is outside Patio Seating, TONS of Parking, and it's at: 10117 Highway 3... Phone: 902-518-2535 .... It's on the way to the Rose Bistro, [which we will NEVER patronize again]... Their menu is "All Day Breakfast"... and Sandwich type Brunch! They also cater trays... They have a "Build your OWN" Breakfast... The place is seemingly serene... [with none of the 'out of control' kids or over-crowding, like at that Rose Bistro down the road]... Their food offerings are cheaper and budget friendly....And they do not 'push you through' to get to the next customer, like the Bistro... The Brunch Sandwiches look amazing... and we intend to eat our way through their menu offerings!! The Sandwiches are decent sized... with HOME-MADE Bread!! We are going back for their Vietnamese Sandwich... It's traditional, right down to the marinated Chicken, Pickled Daikon & Carrot Slaw, fresh Cilantro etc.... The Curried Chicken looks great, and so does the Vegan Mashed Buffalo Chick Peas... It will be hard to decide what to eat after the Vietnamese Sandwich for sure!!! And the place is immaculate! The "Hungry Traveler" has our attention and our cash! Reading between the lines, you can probably tell we had just experienced "A Brunch from hell" at the Rose Bistro down the road... screaming/crying kids...Parents ignoring the bad behavior, some were running around... ...We grabbed our cutlery and water and went outside... We DIDN'T enjoy our meal which cost around $48.00 ... We had some nice times there, but are fed up with the WILDLIFE... this was a BOMB...and we will never return.
