Not to be missed!”

Reviewed 10 September 2011

After a week in the Halifax/Dartmouth area we were sightseeing along the Eastern shore on our last day when we serendipitously stumbled across this hidden gem. The Tourist Trap is a small and very charming combination of east coast warmth and exquisite cuisine. The food here was by far the best we had all week in Nova Scotia and the staff were professional yet definitely Nova Scotia friendly. Our server Susan who is also the baker was wonderful and warm and provided us with terrific service and good conversation. The meals were incredible with the pan seared haddock the best I've ever tasted. Also, not to be missed is the Spinach, Apple and Pecan salad. Holly, the owner and chef came out to greet us and check on our meal. Try and save room for the homemade deserts as well but if you don't they'll box them up for you to take on the way. This was definitely a five-star experience at very reasonable prices.Visited

Just wanted to say thank you for your hospitality and advice when we called in on Sunday Morning. We felt rested and relaxed and continued on to Martinique Beach as recommended. The the picnic was excellent thank you. What a fantastic location we had a great time.

Wishing you all the best in the future and if we are lucky enough to complete our move to Canada we hope to make many more return trips.
