Snow Queen Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Antigonish

This used to be the place to be when the Acadian Lines bus would stop here moon's ago. I'd not been in years, my friend wanted Lobster Rolls, so I was surprised she mentioned this place, as I didn't have high expectations. I was right! As a vegetarian all I could get was a salad, and I got sweet potato fries, they had no lobster rolls, so my friend opted for fish and chips which used to be delish. Well, she said it was disappointing, and for me, I waited FOREVER to be served. Like how long can it take to put a salad together? She was almost finished her meal by the time I got mine, it took almost half hour. The Spinach salad was nothing to write home about, and for the price, you'd think they'd have given a fresh roll. The fries were nothing special. IN any case, it had been a good 40 years since I'd been, I'd not be going back wasn't cheap either! I had water with mine, that's a glass of tap water, and my order...

We visited this place yesterday while we are were traveling from Halifax to Cape Breton Island. Being foodies me and my husband were searching for tasty local food and as we were from Toronto we were very excited to try out seafood in NS. As this had really good reviews we thought we would give it a shot and this did not disappoint us. We ordered the classic fish and chips, Haddock wrap in addition to soup of the day( vegetable and chicken soup). Thin layer of properly seasoned batter layered on Haddock cooked to perfection, you get perfect crisp and juicy layers it was delicious. Wrap was tasty too. Soup is different from what we usually have. It was more clear and stew like rather than thick soup we eat. But overall flavour was on point so we liked it too. Little pricey but on the whole great experience!! Definitely...

If you find yourself driving across Nova Scotia on the way to Cape Breton (or elsewhere), you might eventually find yourselves hungry and in need of a short rest. If that happens within 100km of the city of Antigonish, you might consult Google Maps for a diner, thinking that breakfast is a perfectly suitable mid-afternoon meal. There's a very good chance you will be lead to Snow Queen and if you find yourself in this situation, rejoice. Food will be tasty, service will be friendly and the coffee will be far superior to that garbage you once drank at IKEA because you were desperate.

You might find it necessary to intentionally stop there on the drive back, if only to determine whether or not you had strayed into a diner-dream on your previous visit. Snow Queen is a real place. Your return visit will be even better...
