Beach Pea Kitchen & Bar
The husband and wife team of Martin and Sylvie Ruiz Salvador owned the lauded but now shuttered Fleur de Sel (it used to be best restaurant in town). They’ve replaced it with this worthy second act, the fifth restaurant they’ve opened together. It serves up the freshest local seafood and well-seasoned, beautifully plated meat like duck or rabbit, drawing flavor inspirations from the Mediterranean (North Africa, Italy and Spain primarily). Some faves on the menu include the lobster pappardelle, pan seared scallops with pickled ramps, and the scallop and rabbit risotto. Try to get a seat on the pretty back deck overlooking the water.
The Salvadors are also behind The Fish Shack (tel. 902/634-3232) and The Half Shell Seafood & Oysters (tel. 902/634-8503), both at 108 Montague St. and both focused on fish—deep fried haddock, lobster poutine, lobster rolls, deep-fried clams, fresh oysters, and the like.
For quicker eats, the Salvadors have The Salt Shaker Deli at 124 Montague St. (tel. 902/640-3434): smoked seafood chowder, steamed mussels in your choice of five flavors, pad Thai, and a selection of fresh sandwiches at reasonable prices.
