In Canada and US, most tour books will suggest a tip %. This I think for both countries is around 15 %. When I go to... More

Seafood was quite good and the service amiable. There is also a nice selection of wines, including Nova Scotian wines. The lobster roll is highly recommended as well as the stuffed mushroom caps. More

Above the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia is the Old Fish Factory restaurant. The staff are very friendly, the prices reasonable and the food is outstanding! The portions fill the plate and if you're not careful, you won't have any room for dessert, which would be a shame. The windows of the restaurant itself overlook the... More

The grilled haddock came with an interesting spinach... More

We went twice during our stay. The food was pretty good both times while the service was very good, prompt and friendly. Our server Meagan couldn't have been more hospitable. Good casual dining. More
