We hope to do some exploring in and around Chester, and Hubbards, but we don't want to venture too far since we have young kids. I would prefer not to have to cook while we are there, but it seems like there isn't much to eat. Can someone point us in the right direction?

We drove by the other day and it was packed. We've eaten at Dauphine Inn - which is on the water. The food was mediocre at best, as was the service. There is also The Shore Club, which has Lobster Dinner, I've never eaten there, but it has been open for 60 years or so, so they must be doing something right.

Though greatly beloved by locals, the food isn't consistent. Fun atmosphere, lots of local characters. Nearby is a lunch wagon that I can't vouch for. Too bad you're missing the Farmer's Market, because it is really terrific. Better than Halifax, for my money. In Chester Basin, try the Seaside Shanty. The haddock chowder is fantastic, and everything else I've tried has been solid. In Chester, the Kiwi is good and kid-friendly, but the desserts are much, much too sweet. But everything else is consistent, and the soups are terrific. They're available frozen, but I'd skip most of the other groceries available. Over-priced. I've only been to Nicki's (across the street) once for a private function, but the food was good. Not great for kids, though. Skip the Foc'sl (sp?). In Tantallon, the only real choice is the Bike & Bean, and it, too, is kid-friendly. Service can be patchy though always friendly, and the food is always good. Oh, near Tantallon is Shining Waters, which does a good weekend brunch.
