Charlene’s Bayside Restaurant and Cafe
In a region that is renowned for its seafood chowder, Charlene’s would top almost any list in the category for its sheer seafoodiness, if that’s a word. Owner Charlene MacNeil packs her version with 7 different kinds of seafood, including shrimp, scallops, haddock, clams, halibut, crab and lobster, leaving out mundane fillers like potatoes. Oh, and the secret ingredient is canned Carnation Milk. The creamy, savory bowl, featured on Food Network Canada’s You Gotta Eat Here, is just one reason to stop by her charming diner—it has a range of diner-style options for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
