Looking for a restaurant to dine at during the Christmas by the Sea Market we found ourselves booking the last table at Rime. We couldn't have been more lucky to find such an amazing restaurant on such short notice. Starting with the calamari, it some of the best we have ever had. The rest of our meal continued to be above and beyond our expectations and we couldn't have been more satisfied. The owner is one the most genuine, nice and knowledgeable people we have ever met in the industry and he has inspired us to make the trip down to Lunenburg again just for this restaurant.
This restaurant was recommended by our hotel. The setting was lovely and the service was swift. But there were few menu options and the halibut choice involved sauces. We asked for it simply to be sautéed in butter and lemon. It was just fine, but a rather small portion for CAD $40.
I'm a big fan of the atmosphere at Rime, which is a perfect location for a semi-quiet evening over great food and wine. Often overlooked though, is it's dessert menu, which changes fairly often. The variety of the desserts, both in taste and price, make it a great evening stop for a glass and a treat. Top it off with knowledgeable staff and you are guaranteed to have a positive experience.
This is a fabulous restaurant! I ate here in June and the scallops were cooked perfectly (not overcooked as is so common). This time, I tried the fish cakes and they were also delicious: packed with fish (not potatoes and veg), elegantly presented and accompanied by lovely greens and lobster. The home made smore was a treat and the truffles were the perfect, tiny sweet with which to end a lovely meal. In the same price range as all the tourist traps along the water, this place delivers food fit for foodies. And to top it off, they readily, easily and cheerfully accommodated my picky 10 year old. Will be back to this gem at the next opportunity.
Excellent dining experience and if I could give it a higher rating, I would. Service was efficient, knowledgeable and understanding. We started with calamari and tuna tar tar. It was very fresh and light, poising us for a delicious main course of Halibut and Beef tenderloin, split between the two of us. These were cooked to perfection. Dessert topped it all off, as we had the Rhubarb cannoli. So tasty.
Rime proved yet again to be the top dining experience in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia!
What a great restaurant! Booked Rime for a wedding dinner (12 people), Jeff and Erin put together a menu with wine/beer pairings. We arrived a bit early (our bad), the staff were super friendly, got us drinks while we waited and seated us quickly. The food was amazing, drink pairings were great. Service was bang on.
We stayed late in the restaurant having a few more drinks because everyone was having such a good time. Next trip to Lunenburg we will go to Rime again, I want to try the rest of the menu.
This place gets the gold star!
Excellent restaurant, terrific menu and great service.
Loved the atmosphere
Good wine selection by bottle and glass
If you love raw oysters they are in plenty here.
Homemade past was a hit.
Very nice place to eat in Lunenberg. We had oysters, scallops gnocchis, lamb stew. All excellent! Very good desserts and good wine menu. Good service as well. We enjoyed! Try it!
Another amazing pasta dish at Rime ! And the homemade bread , to die for ... we will keep coming back for more ! Such friendly staff and owner we felt like we were at home .
A great cuisine. The food is excellent, clearly above everything you can find in the Lunenburg county. The only downside: the menu is short and the prices are a bit expensive.
