A Quintessential Nova Scotia Experience
On a warm summer day, the patio at the Half Shell Oyster Bar is the place to be. Overlooking the historic Lunenburg waterfront, you'll be able to take in all of the sights and sounds while you soak up the sun and enjoy world-class seafood and East Coast hospitality.
No visit to Lunenburg is complete without sampling some local seafood and oysters are just the start. Our menu is focused on fresh local seafood that often comes to us directly off the boat. From our show-stopping seafood towers to our lobster rolls and scallop carbonara, all of our dishes are expertly prepared using the freshest local ingredients for a waterfront dining experience you won’t soon forget.
Choose from a wealth of local beers on tap as well as creative seasonal cocktails made with local spirits, not to mention a variety of Nova Scotia’s finest wines. Sit back in our completely open-air space and enjoy the warm summer breeze as you sip your drink. And if you’re lucky, the iconic Bluenose II will be docked at her home port directly across the street.
