Sunnyside Restaurant, Bedford. This restaurant has a great variety of good food at reasonable prices from your Club Sandwich, Fish & Chips to steaks and everyday there is a different Special which is not on the regular menu. This restaurant is owned by the famous Five Fisherman restaurant in downtown Halifax and so you can expect any fish dish to be fresh and done to perfection. The regular waitresses Cathy and Heather are sure to take care of you properly. Tell them B.A.T.A.N.S. members recommended you try them out.

Magnolia's, in downtown Lunenburg. - very humble place, booths, unprepossessing. Best mussels entree, outside of Da Mauricio's.  Excellent key-lime pie. Licensed.  Decent wine list - e.g. Hardy's Sauvignon Blanc.  Ranking: high. Recommended by Ed Ingold, seconded by Andrew Hurst

Charlotte Lane Cafe & Crafts on Charlotte Lane right in the old town of  Shelburne - some of the best food we have eaten anywhere. Four thumbs up! Andrew Hurst.  Also recommended by Ben and Elizabeth Pooley who add, very good food and presentation, pleasant ambiance without being "stuffy". Quite reasonably priced until you open the wine list, which can cause a few gasps.  We particularly enjoy their mesclun salad, pork tenderloin Zurich style (the owner/chef is Swiss), and tiramisu.  Closed Sundays and Mondays. 

The Quarterdeck, overhanging the beach at Summerville Beach in Queens County, good, with unusual appetizers, including deep fried parsley.  Spectacular view.  Respectable wine list. Ben and Elizabeth Pooley
