This place is for customers who appreciate fresh food, simply cooked, with a great view of the blockhouse and harbor and aren’t too fussy about service. To be able to sit outside hearing the gulls, and smelling the ocean breezes more than makes up for a lack of service. My chowder had nuggets of sweet seafood morsels swimming in the... More

We had a dinner at the Niger Reef with friends. The staff are always welcoming, and even though the wait was a bit for our meal it was very good and the view of the Block House and harbour was fantastic.

My wife and I worked up an appetite all afternoon in this pleasant little waterfront town and looked forward to a good dinner, but 'twas not to be. This is a tiny restaurant with a splendid waterfront view if it's warm enough to to eat on the outdoor patio, which it wasn't. Indoors might be nice enough on evenings when... More

Very nice, cute place in a great location. The poor waitress was by herself and did an admirable job of trying to keep up with the constant flow of diners. The food was okay. But nothing special.

This small restaurant is located near the water in a small former tea house used by local ladies. The menu is short but includes locally sourced ingredients and items that caught the owner/chef's eye. The food was nicely prepared-ours were grilled on the porch-and nicely presented. The wine list is just average. Since it was a lovely evening, we ate... More

We went to Niger Reef Tea House three different times on our visit to St. Andrews, and the food was excellent each time. This is a very casual, small, chef-owned restaurant, with sunset views over the bay, from the outdoor dining patio. The chef chooses his daily specials, based on the freshest seafood he can get that day. His side... More

We went to the restaurant because of reading about it in the guide book we had. The place did not seem at first blush as a place where you could get a first class meal. It looked like a place where maybe you could get a decent hamburger. We however had a great meal of fish (tuna) and thought the... More

My wife and I spent a night in St Andrews, stayed at the Tara Manor Inn and visited the Kingsbrae Gardens. We have been to St Andrews many times over the years but have never gone to eat at the Niger Reef Tea House, located near the St Andrews Block House (national historic site) and the Centennial Park/Gardens officially opened...

This nice cafe is right next to the blockhouse our party ordered the soup of the day (a very chunky but tasty vegetable soup) and fish chowder (spot on, very fresh and cooked just right mix of fish, shrimp, scallops) as well as the tasty fish cakes and lobster salad sandwich. Good lemonade and a decent iced tea of the... More
