5 Best Restaurants in The Fundy Coast, New Brunswick

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.

Right on the water's edge near the harbor, this restaurant in a beautifully restored building is a great spot for a casual meal, and the large covered deck makes it deservedly popular when the weather's right. The long menu focuses on seafood, such as lobster, sole almandine, and seafood casserole in a creamy sauce, but there also are steaks, chicken dishes, salads, and sandwiches, along with a children's menu.

Overlooking the bay with seating inside or out on a rustic deck, this 1926 former meetinghouse now houses a fine restaurant. Everything is top quality, from the simple but expertly produced lunchtime options—seafood chowder, sandwiches, frittata—to more substantial dinner selections such as traditional cedar-planked salmon with a ginger glaze, steak bavette with chipotle hollandaise sauce, or herb-crusted lamb loin chops.

A relaxing meal with breathtaking harbor views (and fleece blankets available in case the wind comes up) on the outdoor deck of this friendly harborside eatery is the perfect way to end a day of whale-watching or craft shopping. The hearty seafood chowder will warm the heart and soul on a foggy Fundy night, and the lobster club sandwich is a favorite; there are also non-fish dishes on the menu such as steaks—and, of course, the house-made desserts.

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.
