About
The Bothy (which means ‘shelter’ in Scottish parlance) resides in an enormous steel framed barn. Lined with rough-hewn spruce logs, the arched building has a cavernous jet toned ceiling, and a huge window elevation designed to resemble a British railway station from the Victorian era.
But of course the real star of the show is an exactingly prepared menu, that takes its cues from Maritime and French influences. A mixture of locally harvested seafood, vegetables and greens conspire an exciting food offering. From fresh lobster dishes to moist halibut, and from Boeuf Bourguignon, to Bangers and Mash (a Scottish staple) the menu also includes vegetarian and vegan options, and what many have said is the province’s best chowder.
The venue hosts live entertainment (midweek and on Friday and Saturday evenings) with a mix of singers, songwriters and musicians playing folk, contemporary and traditional music.
