Shelburne Café

Frommer's Review

When a family of German chefs set about to open the Shelburne Pastry shop in 1995, the idea was to sell fancy pastries. But everyone who stopped by during the restoration of the Water Street building asked whether they would be selling bread. So they added bread. And today their loaves are among the best you'll taste in the province -- especially the delectable Nova Scotian oatmeal brown bread. Though the place is under new ownership, it still offers great pastries (try the pinwheels) as well as satisfying sandwiches and filling meals from an expanding menu that might include seafood entrées such as almond-crusted salmon or poached haddock with a dill-wine sauce, lobster crepes and sandwiches, and seafood pastas. Everything is made from scratch, and everything (except the marked-down day-old goods) is just-baked fresh. You'll find good value for your loonies here.
