Black Rock Bistro

Nova Scotia


New owners have brought fresh flavors to this downtown bistro, pretty much the pick of Parrsboro's eating places. Steak-frites, handmade burgers, slow-roasted ribs, and the odd pasta and risotto dish will make sure you don't leave hungry, and there are on-tap brews from Two Islands Brewing down the road.
