Cuisine Cruising

Ever eat rappie pie? Blueberry grunt? Solomon gundy? There’s a world of flavour awaiting you in Southwest Nova Scotia.

We’re famous for our seafood, from smoked salmon and mackerel to marinated herring, or Solomon Gundy, as well as the scallops of Digby to the lobsters of Barrington, known as the Lobster Capital of Canada. We can’t tell you where to find the best fish and chips in the province, but you’ll find plenty of restaurants that offer this favourite dish.

If you’re interested in unique ethnic cuisine, try some Lunenburg sausage or pudding, perhaps served with a side dish of sauerkraut from Tancook Island. Savour the rich flavour of a traditional Acadian stew or fricot, or the unique texture and taste of rappie pie, or rapure.

Enjoy fresh produce at farmers' markets, roadside stands, or enjoy a U-pick experience, picking everything from strawberries and flowers to pears and pumpkins.

Sample gouda, havarti and other fresh cheeses at Fox Hill Cheese House, located on a working dairy farm in Port Williams. Try the unique breads and pastries made at one of LaHave Bakery’s several locations. Your visit to Southwest Nova Scotia wouldn’t be complete without a stop at one of our vineyards where you can sample everything from ice wine to fine maple wine.
