Imagine your perfect autumn picnic – maybe you would pack artisanal cheese with fresh bread from a farm market, with preserves made from local berries, and, of course, a lobster sandwich because, after all, this is Nova Scotia. Now, imagine a last summer afternoon sitting at an outdoor cafe on a busy dock watching the fishing boats come and go – you sip a local beer, enjoy sharing a basket of mussels, maybe some scallops, a dessert made from fresh Valley apples, and talk until it’s almost time to order supper. Or picture yourself in a gracious country inn with a fireplace in the dining room on a snowy winter evening – the chef has prepared a special menu featuring salmon, locally-raised beef, and winter root vegetables from a fellow who farms the old way just down the road. And then, envisage yourself with the whole family on a Sunday in the spring when the maple syrup is just starting to run – a wagon ride takes you into the sugar bush and you watch as your mother and your child both experience the taste of freshly tapped and boiled maple syrup cooled on a scoop of snow for the very first time in their lives. From the tastiest fish and chips you ever tried, to elegant contemporary international cuisine prepared by some of the best chefs in the country, from one season to the next, there is a wide menu of delicious dining experiences waiting along the Three Shores.
