Lamprai & Spice Cafe

Takeout restaurant

👍👍 We visited from Montreal last summer and meant to eat at Lamprai & Spice after having read the glowing reviews but the timing was never right. We had the chance to return to Lunenburg in December and I made it a point to stop by (twice before her well-deserved holiday)- the reviews are right, this i...

Sushi Maru

Sushi restaurant

👍👍 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I chose to give this place 7 stars. Honestly the best sushi place in town. They just opened in September. But they got every detail perfected down to the miso soup. This place has the freshest and most delicious sushi I have had in a long time. And if you see my page you would know I...

Dominic's Cucina

Pizza Takeout

👍👍 We loved Dominic’s so much that we decided to ask them to cater our wedding reception. The process of picking out a buffet-style dinner was incredibly easy, and they were happy to work out some of our guests’ dietary restrictions. We knew the food would be incredible, and sure enough, we were not di...

Dayan Sushi

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Amazing. First time I've been able to stop in at Dayan and am impressed so much with this place. I wish they had seating, as I had to drive home, thinking about eating it all the way. However, it surely did not disappoint once I tucked into the dishes I bought. I got the Tokyo Combo and a Spicy Sal...

Maria's Pasta Bar & Pantry

Italian restaurant

👍👍 UPDATE: 27/08/2020 After the owner being so kind to me after my last visit I felt I should go back and try something else on the menu today (originally had the grilled veggie sandwich - nothing wrong with how it was made but did not like it) Today my wife had the BUCATINI CARBONARA and I had the M...

Wrap N’ Roll

Restaurant

👍👍 All I can say is WOW!! I am so happy we finally tried this new restaurant. Everything was superb - the staff, the food, the atmosphere. We watched our tortillas being made fresh. They brought an assortment of their house made sauces to try and then decide which one we wanted for our fries - best ke...

Tarek's Cafe 2

Middle Eastern restaurant

👍👍 The soup had a very authentic and familiar taste. It took me back to my playing days in Turkey and Syria. Well, my tastebuds were on point because the soup is from Syria - and the rest of the food is from heaven. Options include but are not limited to beef, chicken, shrimp, clamari (my personal fav...

Event venue

👍👍 The service here is excellent!! Their date bars/squares are dangerously tasty. Easily the best date squares I’ve ever had in my life. Worth the trip here just to try them!! You can’t go wrong with any of the baked goodies. My husband loves the apple and cinnamon hand pie and the apple and cinnamon s...

👍👍 Wow! Just moved into the area and did not expect to find somewhere with such a focus on fresh not frozen and delicious food. We stopped in for the special and will definitely be back!
