La Cuisine Robicheau

Nova Scotia


This is the most elevated Acadian cuisine on the French Shore. The rappie pie (meat pie topped with grated potato), seafood lasagna and chocolate pie are so good and affordable they may make you exclaim 'sacre bleu!' It's family-run and always busy, and there's often live music at suppertime during summer.
