We drove to Lunenburg from Halifax to visit this lovey town and to have lunch . We chose this place out of many because of the catchy name. Cute little place in an old building and very clean. There is out door seating overlooking the harbour but it was a cool windy day so we chose to sit indoors in... More

The "Deli" as locals call it, serves up fabulously fresh food with the most friendly service around. We go quite often and its just as good in the off season as it is when the tourists are here. I recommend their imaginative thin crust pizzas - try the spicy shrimp and arugula or the "el fresco" - both my personal... More

Cute little spot with nice drinks and fabulous wood fired pizzas. Sitting in the front little room overlooking the street, all excellent! Highly recommended!

We have eaten at this location for several years now and it is never disappointing. The staff is very helpful and friendly and the food is excellent.

Stopped in on a Sunday before tourist season and had a very nice lobster sandwich and curried eggs. The local white wine is ghastly but the nice girl with the otherworldly blue eyes took it back and had a draft apple cider instead. Most agreeable all in all.

Lovely dinner with friends. The seafood pizza was great as was the Caesar salad. Service was very friendly and not rushed

The "girls" headed to Lunenburg for a pre-Christmas chat/eat/shopping trip. We were all pleased with the meal we had at the Salt Shaker Deli. I had the seafood chowder which was very good. The others had a breakfast plate that they too enjoyed. Service was friendly and the coffee was refilled intuitively! I believe this is a seasonal place, so... More

We had mussels and haddock chowder followed by apricot bread pudding that were excellent. They have a nice seating area outside on a deck overlooking the harbor. It was a nice evening enjoying good food, a very nice view and pleasant surroundings.

Great eats! Eggs Benedict w/Salmon and hollandaise sauce the way it should be made. Our visit was brief and this little restaurant certainly made it memorable.

The Salt Shaker is one of the places I visit the most in Lunenburg. A large portion of the menu consists of sandwiches and personal pizzas, both of which come in a wide variety of interesting tastes. It is a fairly small venue, which can get quite warm, but also has a great patio for summertime meals. Prices top out... More
