45th Parallel Restaurant

Seafood is an integral part of the home cooking at this casual and friendly motel restaurant overlooking Passamaquoddy Bay. The lobster roll is renowned, but you can't go wrong with other country-diner options like fresh panfried haddock, scallops, or the old-fashioned chicken dinners—baked chicken, stuffing, real gravy, mashed potatoes, veggies, and cranberry sauce.

Tide and Boar

$$$

The name of this classy gastropub is a fun play on words, referencing the proximity of Moncton's tidal bore and the seafood and boar on the menu, but it takes its food very seriously, earning a very loyal local following and a place on Maclean's Magazine's list of Canada's Top 50 restaurants. The menu includes upscale pub favorites and inventive combinations, and the drinks menu is long, focusing mainly on draught and bottled craft beers.
