🦑 Lunenburg’s Hidden Coastal Gem – The Beach Pea Kitchen Review!

📍The Beach Pea Kitchen & Bar Tucked away in Nova Scotia’s postcard-perfect fishing town, this unassuming bistro surprises with Asian-twisted pastas, seafood so fresh it whispers "ocean", and flavors bold enough to wake a sailor. 🏆 Why It’s Worth the Drive ✔ East-meets-West noodles: Squid ink pasta with Sichuan peppercorn kick ✔ Port town charm: Weathered wood tables, nautical knickknacks, harbor breezes ✔ Local secret: Tourists flock to Lincoln Street – you’ll have this to yourself 🍝 Must-Try Dishes 🖤 Squid Ink Linguine ($24) ★★★★★ Al dente strands, chili-garlic oil, tender calamari – wok hei meets Italian nonna. 🍆 Eggplant Fusilli ($22) ★★★★☆ Charred veg, lemon zest, basil cream – summer lightness on a fork. 🐙 Grilled Octopus ($18) ★★★★☆ Smoky tentacle, miso-whipped potatoes, norzi pesto – umami bomb. 🦑 Crispy Squid ($16) ★★★☆☆ Golden rings, sambal mayo, lime squeeze – solid but skip if short on stomach space. 💡 Pro Tips ✔ Best for: Weekday lunches, post-sightseeing refuels, avoiding tourist traps ✔ Timing: 3-5PM = easy parking + golden hour harbor views ✔ Skip if: You hate fusion or need white-tablecloth service 💰 Damage: ~$25-45 per person #LunenburgEats #NovaScotiaFood #HiddenGems
