This is a great place to eat. Beautiful patio with lovely scenery. History in the building. Attentive staff. Good Menu. Even better food. Everything was delicous. My husband and I loved the lobster rolls which were filled with chunky lobster meat and matched with a lovely chowder. The fresh oysters we wished we would have had a second helping on. Kiddo loved the fish burger. Second kiddo gobbled up her fish cakes. Desserts were amazing. We don't order desserts usually but after we say them pass by tables we couldn't resist. Kiddos loved the chocolate mouse and cheese cake. After trying a bit I would agree. they certainly don't skimp on ingrediants or flavour here. My husband and I split the blueberry dessert and I wished I ordered my own. It was so rich, so balanced in flavours with the sauce I could have easily eaten two. If you are driving by, do yourself a favour and stop her for a bite to eat. You won't be disappointed.

Lobster stuffed mushroom caps - a must order
Shakil A.

Very average food but great service. We ordered the lobster stuffed mushroom caps, seared haddock, lobster and scallop bake and the cranberry chicken. The only thing worth the order was the losbter stuffed mushroom caps. PEI definitely has many other restaurants to choose from, I would not recommend this place.

Fresh mussels!

Great lobster dinner! Really nice and accommodating staff. Everything so greasy. Had mussels also very fresh.

The scallops and shrimp were fresh and grilled to perfection. The accompanying vegetables were el dante and flavorful. The food was served piping hot. Dessert was a warm rhubarb crisp and ice cream which was delicious. Coffee was fresh and served hot. There was a lovely harbour view from my table on the deck though at times the bugs were a distraction. I would definitely eat here again.

Chocolate mousse

Because we visited in the early part of the season wasn't sure if there hours but last reservation is 7:30pm 11-4 they serve lunch 4-7:45 they area supper. Made a reservation for 6:45 and arrived and seated fine. Just 4 other tables present when we arrived. We both ordered the lobster supper which comes with tea or coffee appitizer (soup or mussels ) 11/4pnd lobster veggies, fresh bread, potatoes, choice of dessert. First experience with eating a whole lobster for either of us. Was unique and tasty. By the time we were done we were very full. We were the last guest to leave the restaurant but never felt rushed or ignored. Service was great.

It was good. However they're closing at the end of the week so they were out of cod and ran out of lobster.

Cardigan Lobster Suppers - Scallops, always a good choice!

Cardigan Lobster Suppers

We enjoyed a very good lobster supper at Cardigan Lobster Suppers, which is located in Eastern PEI…read morein a quiet location near the banks of the Cardigan River. Cardigan Lobster Suppers is open seasonally during the warmer months and tourist season from 5PM to 9PM daily serving up their 5-Course Lobster Suppers, as well as other dishes (3 courses). Senior and youth portions (half size) are available for some entrees including the 5-Course Lobster Supper. We stopped by Cardigan Lobster Suppers on the way back from visiting East Point. Initially, we checked out and stopped by other lobster suppers earlier in the day including Fisherman's Wharf in North Rustico, but mutually decided to stop here since it was conveniently located along our route back west and we driving through Cardigan by 6:15 PM. The place was not that busy since it was towards the end of the season. They have a good sized indoor dining room (old style building atmosphere) and also an outside wooden patio in the back overlooking the Cardigan Harbour. We decided to take a seat outside since it was nice outside and no one was eating in the dining room. I already knew what I was going to order, which was the 5-Course Lobster Supper ($38.95 plus taxes), but my friend wanted to try the Scallops for dinner. However, they had no more scallops, so my friend decided to order the Half Size Lobster Supper ($25.95 plus taxes), which also comes with 5-Courses, but only 3/4 lb Lobster instead of the 1-1/4 lb Lobster. Coffee or tea is included in the price pf the supper. Course 1: Seafood Chowder (all you can eat): This chowder was creamy and not too rich and had celery, fish, baby shrimp, and mussels, sprinkled with paprika. We were also given a basket pf hot rolls with butter. I really enjoyed this seafood chowder and I asked for two more bowls through the course of supper. Course 2: Garden Side Salads: These fresh salads came with choice of homemade dressings and we enjoyed Mango Jalapeño and Raspberry Vinaigrette dressings on the salads. Course 3: Mussels: I was given a big bowl of PEI mussels (counted 32 mussels) and my friend was given half the amount of mussels. The mussels were cooked just right, little broth in the bowl. Course 4: Lobster: I was given a full lobster, which was strategically cut in certain locations for easy breaking (I still needed a lobster cracker). My friend was given a half lobster, cut up the middle, tamales already removed. The lobsters were served with melted butter and side plates with a boiled PEI potato, 1/3 corn on the cob, and long sliced carrots. Course 5: Desserts: Two dessert choices were offered including a Fudge Nut Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream and a Blueberry Shortcake, so we decided to get one of each to share. The brownie was really good which was not to rich and had crunchy walnuts baked in and the vanilla ice cream was cold and light topped with chocolate syrup. The blueberry shortcake consisted of a soft piece of pound cake topped with fresh blueberries/sauce and cool whip. Overall, the food we had was very good and tasty (all courses). The dining atmosphere outside was very quiet and serene overlooking the Cardigan Harbour, but there was a tree blocking much of the view. There were also a few older older couples also having supper outside and the best part was, there were no screaming kids here during our supper. However, since we were dining outside, the flies became attracted to the food on the table, which we had to shoo-away/swat (this could also happen in my backyard too). The service was very good, as our waitress served our courses in a staged and timely order including refills on the seafood chowder and coffees. We left here very full and very content with the PEI lobster supper.

Dripping sweat the entire time. The chairs could use some cleaning. Very greasy on touch. In terms of food, 4 stars. The clam chowder was amazing. The lobsters were good size. The muscles was okay. The salad with their special house made dressing was a refreshing touch. I'd say overall the food was decent but the ventilation needs improvement.

My wife and I were luckily able to get a spot in Townhouse while in the 'Nish despite our lack of a…read morereservation, thanks to the poor weather and coming in at old people, early bird-esque hours. On the upside, we were there for a good stretch of happy hour! The space is cozy, with a pub-like feel from the bar counter you can sit at, as well as a stunning main bar with lovingly detailed, darkly-stained wood. Dark wainscoting rings the room, but the charm of its previous tenants fades away from there, with a generic tile floor and basic acoustic tile ceiling. We indulged in both the liquid and solid offerings on the happy hour menu, with the salt cod fritters ($9) a couple bucks under the regular menu price. Being in town to try things out and not just go for the cheapest items, we ordered from the whole menu, tacking on the beet salad and burrata toast. We decided we'd re-assess our appetites after those three apps. The beet salad ($10) was a colourful display of Nova Scotia's late harvest season, with beautiful, thin slices of purple, pink and golden beets. The kaleidoscope of root vegetables was topped with dots of whipped ricotta, blue cheese, popcorn and pea shoots. Delicate and lightly tart, with contrasting textures of the salty and smooth whipped ricotta and the airy crunch of the popcorn added dimensionality to the dish. Also, it's impossible to go wrong with pea shoots in my books! As my wife isn't a big seafood fan, I had most of the salt cod fritters to myself, and I wasn't complaining. An herby, crisp exterior encased a pleasantly doughy and lightly fishy interior, which was amped up by the fantastic sun-dried tomato and chili oil. The burrata toast ($14) didn't have a whole, massive blob of Italian cheesy goodness, but I should have guessed that would be the case given the price. A guy can dream, right? Crisp buttery focaccia held up well to its caprese-like toppings - roasted tomatoes, pesto and, of course, a slathering of creamy burrata. Bee pollen was noted on the menu and visible on the toast, but didn't register amongst the other flavours. After three very good starters, we decided that we had room for one main between the two of us, and landed on the ricotta gnocchi ($27). I was pleasantly surprised when the plate was put before us, and I saw that the fluffy bundles of carbs and cheese were pan fried, lending a light crispness and more flavour. Most gnocchi dishes aren't too meaty, but Townhouse had a decent portion of bresaola (dry-cured beef) and guanciale (cured pork cheek), letting the thinly-sliced, but big flavours, of the Italian cured meats punch above their weight. Pesto and pea shoots reappeared to bring some vegetal balance to the dish, and a salty hit of Pecorino-Romano rounded things out nicely. Not to be outdone by the savoury parts of the menu, Townhouse's desserts are far from an afterthought. The sticky toffee ($13) was wildly decadent, with the lightly spiced sponge cake begging to sop up the heavenly caramel cream sauce and French vanilla ice cream. Although they could stand to invest in their interior design, Townhouse's kitchen speaks for itself and the well-deserved accolades it has received. A definite 'must' when in Antigonish!

This is a lovely place that we found unexpectedly. We were looking for a restaurant and some people…read moresuggested this place. We thought it'll be an A-pk bar food but we were pleasantly surprised with the quality and the flavors in these dishes! We started with a creative scallops croquettes on a Fuccacia bread, so rich in amazing flavors! The wedge salad was fresh and had a good quality blue cheese on with excellent pieces of bacon. The chicken Karrage with lettuce wraps and couscous salmon were both devine! Had a great chat with the owner and she ensured we ´re enjoying our food and ensured that they do their best to get local products. The Ambiance was great with candles everywhere and service was good too especially the place was completely fully booked. Highly recommend!

There was…read moreonly one other customer in the place at the time, a pair of travelers who looked like they were camping out. This is basically a beach shack where people spending some time on the beach can go for a bite to eat... however, the menu is pretty substantial, and there are a lot of good items on it to try if you are in the area. We weren't all that hungry, but we knew that we needed something to tide us over for the afternoon until supper rolled around, so we ordered a pair of their Oktoberfest Sausages which are served on a hoagie bun and sauerkraut. These absolutely hit the spot! The sauerkraut ratio was perfect, something that Americans just can't seem to get right (they always seem to overdo it... sauerkraut on a hot dog or sausage should be used as a taste enhancement, not as something to drown out everything else!) We left feeling quite fulfilled, and were happy that they were open and able to serve us with something so tasty.
