Seaside Shanty Restaurant

South Shore institution in Chester Basin praised for its chowder, lobster rolls, and harbour views.

A community staple for over 40 years, the Seaside Shanty operates as a fully scratch kitchen committed to sourcing from local suppliers and Nova Scotia fishers. It has earned a strong reputation for what many call the best seafood chowder and lobster roll on the South Shore. Diners are rewarded with breathtaking views of the Chester Basin waterfront alongside every meal.
