Out of the way restaurant.. Probably one of the only ones in this area with high quality food and an understanding of fine cooking. Everything we had was perfectly prepared. A fine dining experience. Price for what you get is good... Sure beats the fish fry places. I'd go back in a heartbeat

We came to spend a night at Wild Caraway's B&B and it happened to be a Wednesday night, when the restaurant is closed. But Andrew and Sarah offered to feed us, as there are no other restaurants in the close by - this is remote rural Nova Scotia. So we told them they could surprise us. And surprise it was!... More

Chef prepared local seafood perfectly cooked and creatively garnished at insanely reasonable prices highlighted our meal. Complimentary amuse bouche of mussels in oven roasted tomato soup shot with fresh dulse flakes bread roll and bottle of water to start, apps were calamari rings cooked to tender perfection not the ubiquitous and disappointing deep fried rubber bands from many pub grub...

I have been a fan of Andrew's and Sarah's fine cooking for several years, and happy when they bought the old doctors house. The tables are locally made and the chairs eclectic. It is welcoming and comfortable. Once again I was delighted by the excellence of the meal I had on Saturday evening. After a warm welcome, my daughter and... More

Restaurant of high culinary standards in a very out of the way location. Excellent fare, mostly inspired by the near by sea products. Had the lobster bisque and wished I could have eaten more and tried other dishes. The bisque was excellent and with a hint of spices making it just 'hot' enough to know it had spices but without...

We just happened along the Wild Caraway on a recent visit to Cape 'dOr, Nova Scotia. So glad we did! The food and setting are outstanding. If the view of the Bay of Fundy isn't enough, the old house is filled with items that will capture your interest from local artwork and antiques to books and old calendars and household... More

Wow! That about describes the food served here! We stayed 3 nights here while hiking in the Cape Chignecto Park (September 2012). The dinners were to die for - tender steak, a generous helping of scallops, fish (haddock, I think), .... Breakfast one morning was pancakes - and what a dream they were. Adding syrup was almost an insult to... More

We have eaten many, many times at the Wild Caraway, since they opened and even before they were at their current location in Advocate harbour, NS. Sarah and Andrew's attention to flavours, fresh foods, innovation and customer service has always made each visit wonderful. While they are more than a 1/2 hour drive from our place in rural Nova Scotia,... More
