The Grubstake Restaurant ( Dining / Family ). Located at 7499 Main Street, Louisbourg. Fine Food & Drink - The Grubstake style is casual and elegant. We serve hearty country cuisine, the finest, freshest products, carefully prepared and served as honestly as possible from our signature porridge bread to our mouth-watering desserts. We take pride in being one of the fine dining establishments in the Maritimes, preparing seafood as we believe it should be poached in a subtle wine sauce, or sauteed in butter with spices and herbs. Join us by the fireplace in our dining room and select from our specialties: Scallops, poached in white sauce topped with sauteed mushrooms; Fresh lobster or queen crab, boiled to brilliant red perfection; Milk-poached salmon, brushed with herb and garlic butter; or Halibut topped with Bernaise. If you have had your fill of seafood while visiting the Maritimes, you may wish to try our local favourites Chicken Royale or our popular Country Style BBQ. If beef is your favourite, you will not be disappointed. Choose from such renowned specialties as Steak au Poivre Flambe, or rib steaks, especially cut for us, for a dining experience you will long remember. A Worthy Destination - Our cocktail lounge is one of the most unique in Nova Scotia. Sit in our antique shoe shine stand and chew the fat with other travellers from all parts of the world or with our local patrons, many of whom work at the Fortress of Louisbourg. You"ll learn more about the historic village of Louisbourg from our staff, most of whom have lived here all their lives.
