About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
The Sou'Wester Restaurant and Gift Shop began in 1967 as a small five table tearoom at the side of a house at its present location. It has been expanded over the last five decades to a 180-seat restaurant offering traditional Maritime and seafood dishes, and a two-level gift shop with one of the Maritimes largest selections of giftware. Today, more than 50 years later, The Sou'Wester is still run by the family of its founder, Jack Campbell.

    The best part of this experience was the service. Our server was great. The food was reminiscent of airport food. There was nothing special about it. You would think that a restaurant that busy (it's a good thing we made reservations on OpenTable, given the busloads of tourists) would step up its tastiness. If the employee gave me correct information, then there is only one washroom in the main area (cafe+restaurant+shop) shared between men, women and those who are handicapped. It is the only washroom I found inside. There were probably some outside, but the weather doesn't always make walking outdoors a pleasant experience. Plus, there are always multiple buses, which equate to long wait lines. Next time, I will go to the handful of other cute little eateries. Would not recommend.

    Over priced, mediocre service, fish was over cooked, scallops were small, pop refill was forgotten, cocktail was small and wasn't made properly. Overall, this was a pretty disappointing experience- probably won't be returning, especially with the inflation.

    Incredible Maritime hospitality that warmed us from the moment we stepped into the restaurant. We had a spectacular view from our table and the service was exceptional! My family had a marvellous sea food meal. As a vegetarian, I had somewhat limited options, but they were nice.

    We enjoyed a lovely breakfast and were very happy with the peacefulness at that hour and this time of year, More guests were venturing inside to eat as we were about ready to depart, We are always very happy and relaxed and surprised at how many people were around even on a cold windy day,

    The halibut dinner was delicious and the lobster club sandwiches were well received by my friends. The new facility is very refreshing.

    We came because it is at the lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove. We discovered superb service, great food and reasonable prices. This is a gem.
