Restaurants in New Brunswick

  1. A

    Brewbaker's

    This ultrapopular restaurant has something for everyone. Choose from a discreet booth in the chic, dim interior or hoot and holler out on the bright, packed patio. Food choices are just as broad - get a burger or indulge on Maple Ginger Atlantic Salmon. Vegetarians will find mouth-watering salads and pasta dishes. Unless you're famished, the meal-sized appetizers (like a pound of mussels steamed in a divine cream sauce) will fill you plenty.

    Calactus

    Shangri-la for vegetarians! Enjoy the freedom to order anything off the Mexican, Indian, Middle eastern-influenced menu. Try the mushroom cannelloni – pasta filled with portobello mushrooms and tofu cream smothered in tomato, feta and gouda cheese, baked and served with a salad. The natural wood, warm earth colors and burbling fountain create a soothing atmosphere.

    Chez Riz

    After 15 years operating a popular Quebec restaurant of the same name, Pakistani chef Rizuan Ul-Hak packed it all up and moved to Fredericton. What luck! The tandoori chicken is so good, Pierre Elliot Trudeau, former Prime Minister of Canada, is apparently a faithful customer. Come in to sample the smorgasbord of Eastern treats at the fragrant buffet.

    Molly's Kitchen

    More of a pub than anything else, this cave of a place is filled with eclectic decor, and ceiling-high stacks of books. Out back is a quiet, green, backyard patio where you can enjoy homecooked soups, pastas and shepherd's pie as well as espresso, ice cream and a stiff drink. Just about everything is made from scratch.

    Boyce Farmers' Market

    This Fredericton institution is great for picking up fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and cheese. Mixed in among the 150 or so stands are some selling handicrafts, homemade desserts and flowers. There is also a restaurant (open for breakfast and brunch). This is a great place to hobnob with local characters.

    Palate

    For well-prepared fine Continental dining with contemporary flair and a seasonally changing menu, this personable corner spot is recommended. The purple and yellow room is especially highly regarded for its seafood, but meats, pastas and chicken are also well represented. The Atlantic salmon is superb.

    Snooty Fox

    Upscale pub food, with highlights such as Thai stir-fry or Steak and Guinness Pie, is notoriously good at this English-style pub popular with the university crowd. Service is friendly but slow and there's a nonsmoking section. Try the artery-hardening jalapeño poppers.

    El Burrito Loco

    Looking like a displaced cactus, this adobe fortress rises out of historic Fredericton like Montezuma's revenge. The largely authentic, south-of-the-border food, including tamales and enormous burritos, is cooked by owner-chef Carlos Pérez, direct from Puerto Vallarta.

    Cafe Archibald

    At this stylish bistro, crepes are the house specialty, whipped up in the open stainless steel kitchen and served at redwood and zebra print banquettes or on the inviting screened-in porch. Alternatively, feast on the wild mushroom and basil pizza with a leafy salad.

    Blue Door

    Yes, it has a blue door that you can't miss. This local hotspot has an intriguingly varied menu ranging from coconut curry with mussels to Uli's pasta incorporating local sausage and mushrooms. Start your meal with a fab cocktail. There's a kids menu too.

    Racine's

    Fredericton's newest fine-dining venue, this bilingual restaurant is mostly seafood geared but also has wonderful pasta, and meat dishes. Try the Atlantic salmon stuffed with pesto and wrapped prosciutto with tomato and fennel coulis, mmm…
