Le Caveau — Restaurant in Grand Pre

Our first time visiting Le Caveau restaurant. We were greeted and warmly welcomed by one of the owner’s Beatrice Stutz. It was a truly wonderful experience. Our waitress Leah made sure we had everything we needed and more! She was super sweet and friendly. We had the Pandesal Filipino Sweet Rolls as an appetizer and they were amazing! For my main I had the Pan Roasted Arctic Char with Thai black rice risotto, salmon roe velouté, leek pavé & frisée and my partner had the Brant Lake Wagyu Hanger Steak with Pomme Duchesse, charred cabbage, carrot miso purée, bordelaise sauce followed by The Zeppole for dessert which was Tossed in nutmeg sugar, with almond ice cream & sour cherry compote. It was absolutely delicious! You can tell there is a lot of passion, hard work and time that Chef Jason Lynch and his team at Le Caveau put into their amazing dishes along with the presentation. The staff were super friendly, very welcoming and knowledgeable.

We also had lunch the next day. I highly recommend the Double Duck Fat Fries which is served with the Harissa and lime aioli, Old Growler gouda and green onion. It was superb! For lunch I had the Le Caveau Reuben which was on a House-cured beef brisket with cider mustard, sauerkraut and Gruyere on house-made molasses bun and my partner had the Grilled Coppa Steak with Frites and Madagascar sauce. It was so delish! The restaurant itself is beautiful and it also has the pergola which is gorgeous for sitting outside.

We also stayed at the Inn at Grand Pre winery. It is stunning. We stayed in the room on lower level called the Courtyard. It’s a gorgeous spacious room and immaculate. The bed was super comfy and the room had lots of windows with great lighting which gave us a nice view of the pergola. We also had access to the sitting room which is a nice place to read, have breakfast or to unwind. Courtney and Payton were so welcoming, sweet, and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. They really made you feel at home and were very helpful. I highly recommend this place to stay in Grand Pre.

The wine is spectacular!!! My favourite is definitely the Marquette (red) and Riesling (white). Also the wine shop is lovely. Manda and Flynn were so knowledgeable and happy to assist me in whatever I needed. Super friendly and very helpful.

We had such a wonderful and relaxing vacation. We definitely are coming back. Our favourite place to stay and favourite...

Stopped in here for a bite to eat around 1:30/2pm on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in October. Walked up the nice cobblestone grounds to the entrance of the patio and were greeted immediately. I asked if there would be much of a wait because we didn't have reservations. Luckily, the last two reservations had just been seated so there was no wait and we got one of the tables in partial sun/partial shade, which was good. The spacing of the tables maybe due to covid, but it was very nice to have some distance from the others there. One family had two young kids running around and I'm glad they weren't directly next to our table, as that takes away from the tranquil, romantic feel that this place exudes. Anyway, our first server didn't come back after several minutes and then someone else replaced her to take our order, which took a bit of time. But that was the only minor issue of the visit. The food overall was very good on the Lunch menu. My Fresh House-made Spaghettini (veg from local farmers, paired with carefully sourced seafood, finished with cheese. $16 for the smaller portion). Assuming these ingredients vary depending on the day or week. Mine came with about five delicious, perfectly done scallops, cherry tomatoes, scallions in a rich cream sauce with lots of parmesan. Combined with a side Caesar salad ($7) which had good chunks of pork belly, freshly grated parm, I assume homemade croutons. The dressing was more of the vinegary style than heavy cream. I was quite full after this and there was no way I'd be able to have a dessert. A glass of Tidal Bay was perfect though. My friend wanted to eat a smaller portion at the time so had a bowl of the Lobster, Scallop & Cold Water Shrimp Chowder ($15 with Spanish almond broth, spring onions, smoked paprika). He said that it was good due to the unique almonds in it to give it texture, but it got cool very fast from being outdoors. It came with a thick slice of focaccia which was a bit dense and dry, but fine for dipping. Decent sized portion was just right for lunch. I definitely want to come back here for dinner some evening and check out what it's like for the...

Amazing! Chef Jason Lynch takes pride in every detail. Reservations are recommended but they do have a beautiful patio that is open from 11:30am offering a picturesque outdoor area to dine. I was on my way back to Halifax and thought I'd drop by for a quick bite and they were able to accomodate me. Had I known the menu was so incredible I would have made plans to have dinner there. Being attached to the Le Grand Pre Winery, you are able to ask for a flight of wine! My flight consisted of Domaine de Grand Pré Rose, 2017 Riesling, and their Ortege which was served with a delegate tasting amuse Boucher of apple, arugula and pesto! A wonderful touch. For an appetizer, and because I find myself on the opposite coast to where I live, I had to try the oysters. They were offering two types, the Sober island and shandaph. I ordered two of each and I had to have a few more of my favourite...the smaller sober Island oysters. Full of flavour, with a little touch of sweetness and so very fresh! I followed the oysters with the charcuterue board, comprised of House-made meats, chutneys, fiddleheads and pickled vegetables. A delight to have locally sourced meat cured with such amazing flavours. Staff are extremely friendly, accommodating and inviting. I would highly recommend making the trip out to Wolfville to enjoy a meal by the vineyard. A quick note on the wines, the Riesling had just been bottled, my absolute favourite, having a sweetness drawn from fruity tones, with a crispness that only Nova Scotia...
