Dining at New Burnswick
If you love seafood you’ve come to the right place.
New Brunswick is rich with excellent fish, seafood and shellfish found in any number of excellent restaurants or even at your local fish market. From fresh lobster and scallops to king crab and Atlantic salmon there is a flavour to suit your taste and a variety of options of where to savour from.
Whether you’re looking for a fine dining establishment with a celebrated wine list, or a quaint market you’ll find it. Follow the locals (or your nose!) to the best spots or ask for their recommendations. If you want tasty fish cakes, soul food clam chowder, or smoked salmon New Brunswick is at your service.
Let our friendly locals show you the ropes of cooking lobster, or attend a “kitchen party” to get the best of what the sea has to offer.
New Brunswick has a rich Acadian history and many of its culinary delights such as Poutine Râpée a combination of raw grated and mashed potatoes rolled into balls and filled with salted pork. Acadian food draws from its French heritage but adds the practicality of long Canadian winters and minimal cooking appliances. Many dishes like Fricot provide the ultimate comfort food in a one-pot meal. Surprisingly pork and chicken were the most common proteins in Acadian cuisine.
New Brunswick also has a thing for fiddle heads. Fiddle heads are spiral topped ferns that when prepared right are oh-so-good. We even have festival to celebrate it: Fiddle Frolic and Fiddle Heads Opening Weekend in June. While the fiddles play along the St. John River locals and visitors alike gather to savour these tasty treats. Fiddle head soup, fiddle head omelettes, fiddle head salad, fiddle heads in white wine sauce . . .the options are neverending!
Weekend mornings are perfect for checking out a local farmers market in New Brunswick. Meander down streets and try the best of what we make. The W.W. Boyce Farmers Market in Fredericton has been noted as one of the best farmers markets in all of Canada. Everything from fresh baked goods to fresh produce and local artisan crafts line the streets across the province as everyone gathers for food, fun and great conversation.
We don’t just love our food and farmers markets, we dedicate whole weekends to them!
