So much more than just oysters, this stylish, sophisticated dining room with impeccable service is one of the finest restaurants in Atlantic Canada, despite its unlikely location on a predominantly industrial street. The modern French menu offers complex but perfectly balanced creations based on local seafood, beef, lamb, and poultry, and the daily tasting menu is a delicious and artistic culinary adventure---plus there's a first-rate wine list.

Lists of Canada's top restaurants all include the Windjammer, where a memorable, pampering dining experience is assured and the setting creates an equally rarified atmosphere without being stuffy. Executive chef Stefan Mueller's menus feature seasonal ingredients from land and sea and some vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers come from the hotel's roof garden, which also supplies honey from its working beehives.

This is a great little place for a quick bite or bistro meal in pleasant surroundings. There's a huge range of coffees and teas as well as hot chocolate, house-made lemonade, juice, wine and beer, and the open kitchen serves good crepes, pizzas, salads, sandwiches, and desserts.

A nice modern spot serving good East Coast coffee and food that includes soups, sandwiches, St-Viateur bagels, and house-made scones, date squares, and muffins. There are vegan options, too. On a nice day you can enjoy it all on the streetside patio.

This is a nice little café in the Dieppe area, serving 14 varieties of coffee, five unusual teas, hot chocolate, and hand-made soy milk.

Seafood, steaks, lamb, and veal share the menu with pasta and pizzas at this upbeat Italian restaurant where Old World flavors are showcased in a friendly setting. The large portions and the bread bar are almost as popular as the World Wine Cellar, so reservations are advised. .

Named after the Guinness brewery in Dublin, this is by no means your standard Irish-theme pub. The menu is wide-ranging, including mussels, oysters, and other interesting seafood dishes, as well as meat dishes such as bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin or chicken carbonara.

The name of this classy gastropub is a fun play on words, referencing the proximity of Moncton's tidal bore and the seafood and boar on the menu, but it takes its food very seriously, earning a very loyal local following and a place on Maclean's Magazine's list of Canada's Top 50 restaurants. The menu includes upscale pub favorites and inventive combinations, and the drinks menu is long, focusing mainly on draught and bottled craft beers.
