Signature Trade Winds Porridge Bread and mouth-watering desserts are freshly made by our in-house baker. When in season, halibut, haddock, queen crab, scallops and lobster are some of our local stars along with various selections of chicken, beef, pasta, gluten-free and vegetarian dishes. We offer daily specials, a healthy children’s menu and a full wine and cocktail service specializing in Nova Scotia wines and craft beers.
