Hello From Nova Scotia: Dining at The Garrison House Restaurant
A Culinary Journey in Annapolis Royal
After a day rich in historical exploration at the Port-Royal Habitation, the Grand Pré National Historic Site, and Annapolis Royal?"with stops at Fort Anne and the Historic Gardens?"I found myself in need of a delicious meal.
Arrival and Accommodation
In the late afternoon, I checked into The Garrison House Bed and Breakfast, perfectly situated across from Fort Anne and the Garrison Graveyard. This charming Victorian mansion offered a warm welcome, with helpful staff assisting me to my cozy room. After catching up on messages via their convenient wireless network, I headed down for dinner around 7:30 p.m.
Dining at The Garrison House Restaurant
Located on the ground floor, the restaurant accommodates 45 patrons in three delightful dining rooms. Fodor's recommends it as the area's best dining spot, open from early May to late October. The menu showcases local seafood and international flavors, featuring dishes like lobster salad, Acadian Seafood Chowder, and Vietnamese coconut milk curry.
I began with a fresh house salad, followed by pan-fried haddock sourced from Nova Scotia's nearby waters. The atmosphere was lively, with fellow diners and the chance to chat with Chef Norah Folks, who has been delighting guests here for 20 years.
A Passion for Local Ingredients
Norah and owner Patrick Redgrave prioritize fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The menu undergoes regular updates with creative twists, like a Chai-flavored rice pudding. Norah's culinary journey, including experiences in Vancouver's diverse food scene, influences her innovative approach.
Embracing Local Charm
Norah, a local Maritimer, enjoys Annapolis Royal's peaceful lifestyle, celebrated by artists and enriched with cultural attractions like The Kings Theatre. She also mentioned the unique Tidal Generating Plant, one of only two in the world, which piqued my interest for a visit the next morning.
Evening Adventures
After a delightful dinner, I embarked on my next adventure: the Annapolis Royal Graveyard Tour at the Garrison Cemetery, led by local historian Alan Melanson.
In summary, dining at The Garrison House was a memorable culinary experience, perfectly capping off a day of exploration in Nova Scotia.
