About the Chowder

Atlantica Oak Island Lunenburg Seafood is a delicious medley of Nova Scotia scallops, mussels, haddock, and shrimp simmered in a dill flavoured cream with potatoes, onions, and celery.

Named BEST SMALL RESTAURANT for 2010 by the Restaurant Association of Nova Scotia, and nestled in historic Shelburne, Swiss chef Roland Glauser and his wife Kathleen serve up delicious world cuisine blended with down home hospitality to locals, summer residents and tourists. Menu features splendid, local seafood and meat dishes, inventive pastas, seasonal salads, delectable Swiss specialties and mouth watering desserts plus a full selection of local and imported wines. This gem of a Café is worth the drive.

About the Chowder

Our wildly popular Seafood Chowder is freshly made, full of tenderly poached large size scallops, North Atlantic pink shrimp, locally caught haddock, sweet onions and just the right amount of locally grown potatoes.  Chef Roland starts with fish stock, and finishes with a generous splash of Nova Scotia’s own Jost Vinyards white wine and Cooks Dairy fresh cream.  This chowder is just one of the many reasons that locals and visitors find coming to Charlotte Lane is worth the drive!

About the Chowder

Sadie’s Famous Seafood Chowder. Back in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s we used to host a Craft and Chowder Festival, and Sadie Dorey was our cook at the time.  For the Chowder Festival Sadie and her crew would arrive at 6:00am and start to prepare all the ingredients for the chowder. She used all the freshest of ingredients which included haddock, scallops, shrimp, salmon and lobster in a creamy broth that was choke full of flavour. We still use the same recipe, although Sadie passed away this year at the age of 102. She will be missed, but her chowder will live on forever.
