Taste Your Way Through Nova Scotia: South Shore
An easy drive from Halifax, the South Shore is the perfect place to spend a sunny day or even a weekend! There’s plenty to eat and to see:
Café
Head to The Biscuit Eater Café & Books for a cozy and comforting experience. Music performances, literary readings, films and community arts events are held frequently and they also specialize in an exceptional dining experience led by internationally influenced chefs.
Lobster Supper
For a hearty meal, Shore Club Lobster Suppers will fill you up. Settle in for a feast of fresh boiled lobster, unlimited fresh cultivated mussels, all-you-can-eat salad bar, homemade rolls, choice of dessert and coffee or tea.
Cranberry Farm
If you like cranberries, be sure to stop by Terra Beata Cranberry Farm. You can buy their products, see berries in the field and ask any questions you can think of about cranberries!
Beach Resort
For a weekend stay with the family or the one you love, Quarterdeck or White Point Beach Resort are both no-fail options. With delicious dishes and ocean views what could go wrong?
World Cuisine
Roland and Kathleen Glauser have been providing delicious world cuisine blended with down-home hospitality to locals and tourists for 18 years. We think that makes Charlotte Lane the perfect stop for a bite to eat!
Award-Winning Alcohol
The pear eau de vie from Ironworks Distillery is a must-see. As well as sampling all of their hand-crafted liqueurs and award-winning rum. Stop by their site to see what they’re up too!
These are just some of the things you can do while visiting or exploring the South Shore in Nova Scotia. We want to see your photos and hear your stories this summer, so make sure to tag us in your Twitter, Facebook and Instagram posts! #TasteofNS
Proprietor’s Cara Weston Edell and Frederick Edell have brought their background’s in the arts and higher education to enhance the charming ambiance of the Biscuit Eater with an interesting bookstore and cultural events calendar. Great coffee and menu, with some ingredients coming from their own garden located on the premises. A lovely patio option during warm weather. In my experience, the Biscuit Eater cafe is the most appealing element of Mahone Bay.
