Detailed Information

Grand Banker Seafood Bar & Grill faces the Lunenburg harbour from 82 Montague Street, the same address as the Shipwright brew system that supplies its draft lines. The menu sticks to traditional Nova Scotian seafood, from fish cakes to pan-fried haddock, in a room hung with the town's fishing-industry memorabilia. It opens year-round, which still sets it apart in a town with heavy seasonal closures.

The menu leans into Lunenburg's identity as a working fishing port — fish cakes, scallops, live lobster, mussels, haddock, chowder, and hearty seafood stews share space with burgers and sandwiches for non-seafood eaters. Onsite Shipwright Brewing craft beers and local wines round out the offering. Grand Banker is part of Nova Scotia's Chowder Trail and Lobster Trail, and its waterfront patio is one of the most pleasant places in town for a long summer dinner watching the boats come and go in the harbour.
