Rhubarb

We stop at Rhubards every year when we visit Nova Scotia. We always try to sit on the patio, order fish and chips (best batter ever) and each order a glass of Sauvignon Blanc (and I have to point out it is the BEST chilled wine ever!).

If you want fresh, locally-sourced food served in a casual atmosphere among friends, Rhubarb is it.

Operators, Jim and Diane Buckle , care a lot about their food and their customers and it shows. Together, they have crafted a tasty array of seasonal, value-priced dishes to tempt serious gourmands and comfort foodies alike presented with unsurpassable service.

Whether you live in the neighborhood or are visiting from away, come enjoy the creative cookery at Rhubarb - minutes from Peggy's Cove, and less than an hour from Halifax.
