Restaurants in Mahone Bay

Mahone Bay's little main street has more than its share of places in which you can nosh, though most of them are priced in "tourodollars": which is to say, higher than they probably should be.

But the Mug and Anchor Pub at 643 Main St. (tel. 902/624-6378), is affordable, with dependable pub grub, about 20 beers on tap and (occasionally) live entertainment in the evening. The outdoor patio overlooks the bay, so beer or lunch here can be quite enjoyable.

The lovely little Biscuit Eater Café at 16 Orchard St. (tel. 902/624-2665), in Mahone Bay’s oldest building from 1775, is a bookstore, a garden patio, and a place to refresh with a hybrid English-Maritime tea with big biscuits, preserves, and a pot of tea. There are other menu items for a light lunch as well, and a wine menu to go with it. Check their schedule for musical performances, literary readings, films and community arts events.
