Sou’Wester - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sou'Wester Gift & Restaurant in Peggy's Cove, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. The restaurant not only offers breathtaking views of the iconic Peggy's Cove lighthouse but also serves the best lobster I have ever eaten. From the moment I ... walked into Sou'Wester, I was greeted with warm hospitality and exceptional service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They made sure that every aspect of our dining experience was taken care of, from recommending dishes to ensuring our glasses were never empty. Now, let's talk about the lobster. It was simply outstanding. The lobster at Sou'Wester is fresh, succulent, and cooked to perfection. The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, melting in my mouth with every bite. Whether it was the classic lobster roll or a whole lobster, each dish showcased the high quality and expertise of the chefs. It's no wonder they are renowned for their lobster dishes. Aside from the lobster, the menu at Sou'Wester offers a variety of other delicious seafood options. From scallops to clams to fish and chips, there is something to satisfy every seafood lover's palate. The meals are beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, showcasing the freshness of the ingredients. The ambiance of Sou'Wester is another highlight of the dining experience. The restaurant is located right by the water, offering stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and the picturesque Peggy's Cove lighthouse. The cozy interior and nautical-themed decor create a charming and inviting atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a memorable meal. In addition to the restaurant, Sou'Wester also has a gift shop where you can find a wide range of unique and locally made souvenirs. It's a great place to browse and pick up a memento to remember your visit to Peggy's Cove. Overall, my experience at Sou'Wester Gift & Restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of the best lobster I have ever tasted, fantastic service, and the breathtaking location made it a truly memorable dining experience. If you find yourself in Peggy's Cove, I highly recommend stopping by Sou'Wester for a meal that will leave you craving their delicious seafood long after you've left. Read more

Stopped in to have a late lunch while visiting the five. Service was quick and friendly. Chowder was very tasty. Could have been hotter but was filled with seafood and had a nice flavour. Fries were hot and fresh. Place really caters ... to tourists, so nothing really unique in terms of atmosphere other than it’s Peggy’s cove! Worth stopping in. Read more

We had lunch here…lobster, lobster Mac n cheese, turkey sandwich and fish chips…not many restaurants can do what the Sou’Wester did…amazing taste presentation and portions…food was well cooked and flavourful…the servers were attentive and happy to serve…overall 5 star experience!!!

There was an aquarium in the restaurant, so the lobster was very fresh. Seafood chowder was actually not that delicious. Fish & chips were thick and thin in skin, so I was satisfied.
