Our Philosophy

If you’re from around these parts, you may already know that Saltscapes is all about celebrating the best of the region. Now you can experience the Saltscapes style as you enjoy a delicious meal of your favourite comfort food and shop for the finest gifts in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Our philosophy: Buy local to support each other and our communities.

The Saltscapes Restaurant and General Store is 100 per cent locally owned and operated. Here’s how we show our commitment: this building was extensively renovated using many locally sourced materials; the furniture you are sitting on came from a local sheltered workshop; the memorabilia you see around you was collected from attics and barns around the Maritimes, and even the front doorknobs were custom made for us by a local blacksmith.

Our buy-local philosophy extends to our food. Our meat and poultry come mainly from family farms close by. Our fish comes directly from the wharf: we will not serve marine farmed fish. Breads and baked goods are either prepared on site or come from local bakeries. Your French fries are cut right here in the kitchen from fresh Atlantic Canadian potatoes.

The distinctive items for sale in our General Store have also been selected from mainly very small businesses around the region.

Please enjoy your home-grown food and retail experience.
