Taste of Nova Scotia

Just as Nova Scotia Lighthouses have beckoned to mariners over many years, so too has the Red Cap Restaurant & Motel located in Middle West Pubnico, been a beacon for the many locals and visitors looking for a delicious meal and accommodations.

Chef Amy Scott uses fresh and seasonal ingredients to create the menu and her signature dishes influenced by classic Fresh Cuisine. In addition, we believe in healthy eating and knowing where our food comes from. The Red Cap proudly partners with our local farming and fishing industries by serving fresh local haddock, lobster, beef, chicken, pork and produce.

Start with a glass of local wine or beer, for an appetizer; we recommend the seafood chowder, a local favorite, or the white onion soup. For your main try our delicious Broiled Haddock with a Lobster Sauce, Seafood Lasagna or on the lighter side order the homemade Broccoli & Old Cheddar Quiche or Rappie Pie. Make sure you save room for our homemade steamed cranberry pudding, bread pudding with lemon sauce, or a slice of one of our seasonal pies.

We are open year round to serve you.

Emma’s is a locally owned restaurant that promotes local and sustainable business practices. With award-winning fishcakes during all-day breakfast, lunch and dinner service, Emma’s menu is made from scratch using all natural and fresh ingredients as well as local, farm fresh eggs and meats.

Traditional Maritime chowder and housemade meals from scratch at Emma’s are like a hug from inside out!

Located in Historic Properties, Hart & Thistle Gastropub and Brewery features great food prepared fresh daily. The term ‘gastropub’ traditionally means a public house, aka a pub, which specializes in high-quality food. The relaxed and comfortable atmosphere lends itself well to the surroundings, architecture, and style of food – “Come for the beer….stay for the service…come back for the food!”

In the warmer weather, you can enjoy the 200-seat waterfront patio – the largest in HRM. During the cooler months, the fireplace inside adds to the ambiance, where you can enjoy a nice night out with friends and family.

In the fall of 2010, the Canadian Brewing Awards awarded Hart & Thistle with a Silver Medal for World renowned Brewmaster Greg Nash’s Hop Rock Candy Mountain IPA. Check out our Brewers Blog at www.hartandthistle.blogspot.com for his latest hop bomb.
