Best place around!

Brad Compton

Great food and wine selection. The grounds are beautiful.

Matthew Keogh

The outside dining area was tranquil and tasteful and the food was absolutely fantastic. I had the charcuterie board and it was excellent. Highly recommend!

Jim T

Absolutely outstanding. The charcuterie and cheese board is a meal itself. Salmon was excellent. Wine of course is great. When we arrived a tour group created a din but when they left(thankfully in 15 minutes after we arrived) the ambience was delightful.

C.R. Pynch

Absolutely fantastic food, service and ambiance. More than dining, it's an experience!

Le Caveau hosted our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue. The gardens were gorgeous, they had impeccable cocktail and dinner service, an incredible seasonal hand-picked menu designed by the head chef, and really excellent local wines. Beatrice pulled it all together for us by being with us throughout the planning process for multiple calls, she had the dining room ready for us well before the ceremony, and she even kept the ceremony on schedule! A very special thank you to the staff at Le Caveau for taking such good care of our guests.

Restaurant Le Caveau offers outstanding dining (either indoors or al fresco), tasty wine and impeccable service at a moderate price. An accidental find while on a vacation trip that turned out to be a fantastic experience. Hope to return again.

Amazing! Chef Jason Lynch takes pride in every detail. Reservations are recommended but they do have a beautiful patio that is open from 11:30am offering a picturesque outdoor area to dine. I was on my way back to Halifax and thought I'd drop by for a quick bite and they were able to accomodate me. Had I known the menu was so incredible I would have made plans to have dinner there. Being attached to the Le Grand Pre Winery, you are able to ask for a flight of wine! My flight consisted of Domaine de Grand Pré Rose, 2017 Riesling, and their Ortege which was served with a delegate tasting amuse Boucher of apple, arugula and pesto! A wonderful touch. For an appetizer, and because I find myself on the opposite coast to where I live, I had to try the oysters. They were offering two types, the Sober island and shandaph. I ordered two of each and I had to have a few more of my favourite...the smaller sober Island oysters. Full of flavour, with a little touch of sweetness and so very fresh! I followed the oysters with the charcuterue board, comprised of House-made meats, chutneys, fiddleheads and pickled vegetables. A delight to have locally sourced meat cured with such amazing flavours. Staff are extremely friendly, accommodating and inviting. I would highly recommend making the trip out to Wolfville to enjoy a meal by the vineyard. A quick note on the wines, the Riesling had just been bottled, my absolute favourite, having a sweetness drawn from fruity tones, with a crispness that only Nova Scotia wines offer!

Excellent experience and very sophisticated menu. Nice staff.

We brought a couple of old friends to Le Caveau for lunch on the terrace and it was simply excellent. One of our group was a celiac and she was delighted by the alternate choices offered to her off the menu. Our host, Beatrice was as perfect as the food and drink. A must for anyone coming to the Valley.

Amazing food and above the clouds, family like, service. Thanks Kim

The reviews of this place do not lie. We went on a beautiful summer day for a lunch on their amazing patio. The view is magnificent with a plethora of flowers and vines that provides perfect shade and ambience. The waitress was very kind and even allowed our pug to dine with us at the table with our friends. The wine is fantastic and compliments the food perfectly. We had the lobster and scallop chowder which was AMAZING! the 3rd best chowder in Halifax by my count so far. I had the steak and frites which was perfectly cooked to a medium and my wife had the yellowfin tuna and Atlantic shrimp poke which was very fresh, refreshing and deliciously put together. We had the panna cotta for dessert which was a work of art beautifully put together with cherry compote and decorative edible flowers. The perfect meal.

Great food, beautiful paio, good selection of wines, and really good services. Closest to fine dining in my 10-day road trip in NS.

Jason Ing

My wife and I were here about a year ago and enjoyed the experience. We were seated in their garden area and it was a genuinely beautiful scene. Between the two of us we ordered a lobster risotto and a tuna steak. Both dishes were phenomenal.

Matt D

Delicious poke and wine. Award winning restaurant with an amazing summer patio

Jason Quinn

I have eaten there twice. It's a very nice patio and the food is relatively good but the menu tends to be very limited as far as options and the wait staff have been consistently unpleasant. I wouldn't go back a third time. Each time they seemed very annoyed that we were there though we were just sitting there so not sure entirely what the issue was.

Damian Perez

The best dining experience I have ever had, anywhere. the food and atmosphere stands up against fine dining from across Europe, with a unique flair giving the restaurant it's own feel. I went here immediately after I proposed to my fiancée, and they turned the night into something spectacular with a surprise finish on the dessert. The service was phenomenal and the food equally fantastic. Would highly recommend and look forward to returning many times!

Paul G

This is a wonderful place to go to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or well deserved date night together. The quality and presentation of the food is outstanding, and the service is attentive without being overbearing. We shared a fresh loaf of bread, and each had a starter, a main, and a dessert, which was slightly too much food for us; I would recommend sharing either the starter or the dessert. The whole experience is lovely, and I would allow ample time before other plans to allow yourselves time to enjoy it properly. 5 stars.

Candice Dunn

Always a pleasure to go for a meal at this restaurant. Consistently great food, lovely atmosphere, great wait staff and the outdoor patio is wonderful. Thank you Le Caveau!

Irene A

We had lunch at the patio, under the pergolas. Beautiful place with interesting menu. Wine served was from their winery, which we visited later. At the moment we can't taste the wines at the store before purchasing because of COVID restrictions so I bought what I had at lunch. Good experience, highly recommended!

Brett Bowness

Delicious food, great staff. I recommend making a reservation and bringing a fair amount of cash. $12 for Caesar salad.

Anne Irwin

Amazing food, fantastic service! Cant wait to return!

Ryan Shannon

Amazing dinner. Staff is attentive and super knowledgeable. Beyond happy. Great first anniversary dinner.

Angus Lindsay

Amazing food!

Mandie Barkhouse

Amazing night out at Le Caveau! Beatrice and her staff made it a night to remember. Thank you for the amazing food and service! Can’t wait until we can come back.

Sean Myles

Arguably the best dining experience in Nova Scotia. Service, food, ambience, wine list - everything is absolutely top notch.

Rachelle Boutilier

Stopped in here for a bite to eat around 1:30/2pm on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in October. Walked up the nice cobblestone grounds to the entrance of the patio and were greeted immediately. I asked if there would be much of a wait because we didn't have reservations. Luckily, the last two reservations had just been seated so there was no wait and we got one of the tables in partial sun/partial shade, which was good. The spacing of the tables maybe due to covid, but it was very nice to have some distance from the others there. One family had two young kids running around and I'm glad they weren't directly next to our table, as that takes away from the tranquil, romantic feel that this place exudes. Anyway, our first server didn't come back after several minutes and then someone else replaced her to take our order, which took a bit of time. But that was the only minor issue of the visit. The food overall was very good on the Lunch menu. My Fresh House-made Spaghettini (veg from local farmers, paired with carefully sourced seafood, finished with cheese. $16 for the smaller portion). Assuming these ingredients vary depending on the day or week. Mine came with about five delicious, perfectly done scallops, cherry tomatoes, scallions in a rich cream sauce with lots of parmesan. Combined with a side Caesar salad ($7) which had good chunks of pork belly, freshly grated parm, I assume homemade croutons. The dressing was more of the vinegary style than heavy cream. I was quite full after this and there was no way I'd be able to have a dessert. A glass of Tidal Bay was perfect though. My friend wanted to eat a smaller portion at the time so had a bowl of the Lobster, Scallop & Cold Water Shrimp Chowder ($15 with Spanish almond broth, spring onions, smoked paprika). He said that it was good due to the unique almonds in it to give it texture, but it got cool very fast from being outdoors. It came with a thick slice of focaccia which was a bit dense and dry, but fine for dipping. Decent sized portion was just right for lunch. I definitely want to come back here for dinner some evening and check out what it's like for the indoor dining.

We stayed at the Old Lantern Bed & Breakfast adjacent to the Vineyard and walked to the Restaurant through the Vineyard. The meal was excellent as was the service.

ITS GOONIEBIRD

Lovely

Gordon Dietrich

Raclette was great, presentation was great and the variety of foods is great.

Peter Smith

Food and atmosphere were fabulous, staff were friendly, felt like family. Will definitely go again when I can!

Steve Hurley

Every single time we go here it's perfect. Food, service, atmosphere, and the staff couldn't be any better. The oysters were to die for, the charcuterie board is always amazing, and the Wagyu steak is one of the best I've ever had. They even wrote us a handwritten anniversary card because we mentioned it was our anniversary! 10/10 would always recommend. We'll be back!

Philipp Schnetzer

Amazing grounds, great staff and awesome food + drink. A classy venue! Oh, and the pergola is very nice for outdoor dining. Love this spot!!

Kevin Gomes

Outstanding customer service, outstanding quality of food, outstanding wines and drink. Add this to your list, its worth it.

Cy Clonic

Great food, great service, wonderful ambiance.

Jennie Herbin

My husband and I just had our 100+ person wedding reception catered by Le Caveau. Beatrice, Jason and their team were icredible. Every single detail was impeccably executed. Our friends and family from toronto, vancouver and montreal were blown away but the quality and creativity of the food. They were amazing to work with and made our day very special. Thank you!!!

Paul Jobson

I feel like they best the top trending restaurants in Toronto and Montreal by providing the freshest ingredients, sourced locally. Always surprising us with new menu items.

Melissa McGuire

We had a lovely dinner tonight!! The food and atmosphere was absolutely perfect. The best chowder I have ever had! And the seafood rigatoni is a must! Thank you for the great service and superb experience. We will most definitely be dining with you again on your beautiful patio !

Angeline Price

Fabulous place to come to enjoy amazing food, excellent and superbly knowledgeable staff! High recommend it to everyone!! Can't wait to come back!!

David Carlson

Was a classier kind of place than I am used to, but they were warm and friendly and made me feel welcome. The seating seating was clean, comfortable and safely distanced. The food and wine were very good.

Kristina Shirai

Delicious food, very different and not similar to food that you usually can find in Canada. Great atmosphere, attentive employees. Put 4 because of the annoying flies near the food.

B Martin

Best charcuterie ever !! it was so fun to eat. Wife got the special scallops and gnocchi it was deadly. Spaghetti was flavourful i only got the half order. Service was great thanks Jenny.

C B

My wife and I have been here twice already and will make this our special occasions treat ,(birthdays, anniversaries, etc). I don't have any photographs of our experience as we were preoccupied with enjoying our time together. The restuarant service is the most friendly, professional, and accommodating. I can not say enough excellent things about them. The food is outstanding and is the best in Nova Scotia. Each time we have been there we had meals that were so incredible. The kitchen staff are the best in Nova Scotia and this establishment should be very proud. The wine shop has the best Nova Scotia wine to offer with friendly and knowledgeable professional staff. It is a beautiful establishment and winery.

(Translated) Restaurant in the middle of the winery. Very nicely decorated. With a very nice terrace. The most tender meat I have eaten in a long time. Very well prepared scallops. Nice and juicy. The service was very friendly. Wine from our own vineyards can be served with each course. A visit to the wine shop including wine tasting followed by a meal in the restaurant is highly recommended. We felt completely at ease. (Original) Restaurant mitten im Weingut. Sehr schön eingerichtet. Mit einer sehr schönen Terrasse. Das zarteste Fleisch, dass ich seit langem gegessen habe. Sehr gut zubereitete scallops. Schön saftig. Die Bedienung sehr freundlich. Zu jedem Gang kann Wein aus dem eigenen Anbau serviert werden. Ein Besuch des Weinshops inkl. Weinprobe mit anschliessendem Essen im Restaurant absolut empfehlenswert. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt.

Devin Mazerolle

Beautiful outdoor terrace with great service. It was a cool day so they gave my wife a blanket and lit the propane heater making it perfect! The food was also amazing. I had the fried chicken sandwich with garden salad. Will definately be back!

Shane Hawkins

Did not meet expectations. Had heard positive reviews and was looking forward to an excellent meal with my girlfriend. Trout gnocchi was not a potato dumpling but a hard wheat pasta which detracted from the delicate fish. Smoked Duck breast was tough and without flavour. Seafood in the rigatoni pasta was over cooked and served in a flat unstructured tomato sauce. Only dish worth eating was the streak which was cooked as ordered and a very good cut of meat. Will not return and would not recommend.

ben nichols

Wonderful! Great staff!

Matthew v.G.

Beautiful place. Come early to walk through the vineyard before dinner. There is a lookout spot on the far side about 10 mins walk with a perfect spot to see the sunset. We had a group of 8 fine here and between soups appetizers and main everything was fantastic.

MA J

A truly enjoyable dining experience. Incredibly knowledgeable and friendly servers, phenomenal food and a beautiful setting. Highly recommend their seafood chowder!

Dave Steen

Incredible service and amazing food!! Beatrice was so accommodating to us and we capped off our vacation with the best dining experience. Highly recommended!

Dave Trottier

Awesome annual Christmas dining experience.

uknowme

Excellent!!!!!!!! ????

Tyler Swan

Fantastic food and waitstaff, the time between each course was perfect, enough to let the food settle. The wine list had so many local wines that it was hard to choose just one. A lot of fresh local ingredients really made the dishes pop and the atmosphere was a mix between modern and rustic. Would go back again without a second thought.

I celebrated my birthday here last week and had the best meal I have had in a long time. Even with the Covid restrictions it was a great night out that was safe and comfortable. Service was attentive and knowledgeable and the food! It was absolutely delicious. We each had three courses and they were all of exceptional quality.

Eric Gionet

Amazing experience on our last night in the area. The charcuterie and cheese board was top notch not to mention the oysters with the house clear hot sauce. The Caesar salad was a tower of love and both the pasta with black squid ink and pork chops were equally memorable. Staff was friendly and service was stellar.

Rita Boutilier

The rainbow trout was amazing, with amazing service too!

Josh Hiltz

Great food. Very good wine list. Had to sit inside due to rain. Patio looked lovely though. It's a small place and can get noisy fast. Maybe better for dinner and a few drinks than something More intimate or romantic.

Sam Kirk

Food was absolutely ridiculous (in the best possible way) staff was friendly and attentive, and the patio was gorgeous. 10/10 would recommend if you're in the valley and looking for an excellent vineyard restaurant.

Braham Leslie

Oysters! Local wine! Fresh scallops & tangy jazz beats! 10/10!

We ate at Le Caveau after a beautiful day in the area. It was highly recommended by a friend, Everything we ate was delicious. From the cheese platter to the tartare and then the house-made pasta. The service was excellent, super attentive and very friendly. You must try it!
