Salt Shaker Deli & Inn

Lunenburg

Lunch out on the deck on a beautiful August afternoon. Most tables have shade; some don't. Also indoor seating. Very busy (Folk Harbour Festival) and a bit slow service. Excellent fish cakes & chowder. Other food - salad, loster roll. - OK.

Beautiful deck overlooking harbor; good food

Sunday evening, waited 1,5 hr for a table for 2 so had great expectations. Unfortunately, it took 40 min to get 2 main courses and on paper the scallops linguini and seafood stew sounded great but both were under seasoned and the flavors were just not there. Mine had bitter roasted garlic. Big disappointment. We could tell the table next to us weren't excited with their pizzas either.

Food - Disappointed!

Check in was easy at the deli below the rooms. A flight of stairs up to the room but not particularly difficult. The room was beautifully decorated with a small but more than adequate bathroom with a good shower. The view from the room across the harbour  was amazing. The bed was very comfortable and we both enjoyed a good sleep. Relatively little storage for clothes, but as we were there only for one night, that was not a problem. I would definitely stay again if in Lunenburg.

Simple but excellent accommodation

We came here on a recommendation from locals. Very clean establishment and hospitable staff. We had the pan fried haddock and seafood pizza. The haddock was great but the flavour profile of the seafood pizza wasn’t to my tasting. I’ll have to order something different next time. All in all, a pleasant lunch with fresh food and kind service. Very nice experience!

Nice food and friendly staff

Amazing service. The attention to detail is superb. As 2 former servers it is difficult to wow us, this FOH staff wow’d us, didn’t hurt that the food was great too. The town of Lunenburg seems to have a lot of tourist traps… this isn’t one of them.

Go there, now.

There are not too many choices in winter in Lunenburg.  Either the pub, a few family restaurants or Salt Shaker Deli.  Don't get fooled by the name.  It is not like a Montreal or Toronto deli, although you can get pizzas and sandwiches.  They also have good dinner choices and their lunches are pretty good, too.  My wife had the pear and brie pizza, which she enjoyed.  I ordered the warm kale salad (with walnuts, veggies and cheese melted on top).  The dressing gave it a delicate flavour and the kale was cooked but still had a crunch.  I really loved the final flavour mix.  I also had the minestrone soup and although I could not place the flavour that was different, it was not what I expected and I did not really enjoy it too much.  The meal with a glass of wine for one of us and a soft drink for the other was about $60 with tip and taxes.  Not bad these days where it is easy to spend over $100 and not be happy!

Quick supper -- Open In the Winter

I have always loved this restaurant, so decided to try staying at the Inn above for a romantic getaway and it did not disappoint! We stayed in a two level king and it was lovely. The bedroom and bathroom are on the upper level. The bed was luxuriously comfortable and the bathroom has a lovely big soaker tub for two :) The view of the harbour was spectacular and the  kitchen was well supplied with all we needed. The location is superb, right in the middle of town and perfect for strolling the harbour or the shops. This is a place to settle right in and stay a few days! A real treat! 

East coast charm

This review is of the DELI.  We tried our best to find a restaurant without deep fried everything and this did succeed in that regard.  We had the mussels, club sandwich and fish cake burger.  Everyone’s food was ok.  Nothing amazing, but also nothing awful.  Selection of drinks was good.  Location has a nice, albeit small outside balcony.  It was sheltered somehow from the wind, and still nice and warm late afternoon in October.   It is hard to understand the ranking of this restaurant as none of us would rate it great.

Touristy, just ok, but so is the whole town.

Very nice stay in Lunenburg, the Inn is right in town, we had a beautiful view of the harbor.  Room was clean and well furnished,  We had no problem finding parking or checking in.  Deli downstairs is busy, we had a good dinner there but make sure you make reservations!  Would stay here again.

Great Location

I had dinner at Salt Shaker on a very busy night. They could only fit me in at the bar which was fine. The staff were friendly & efficient. I enjoyed my Paloma cocktail & I had the salmon for my main. It was ok - not the best I’d had but not the worst either. The side vegetables were nice.
