Lincoln Street Food

The staff was really great and super accommodating as they were able to give us a table last minute on a busy night which we really appreciated! We really like the fixe menu concept that they have going on. We went for the Mexican pop up, but honestly we thought the food was pretty bland and everything just needed some more flavour especially considering the cuisine for the pop up. The drink special they had was great and we really appreciated that everything tasted fresh and locally sourced, but the food was just subpar.

Incredible food, fun & informative staff. We ordered the entire menu to share among our group of 6. So good the first time, we returned 2 days later! The miso-torched oysters were out of this world! The drinks were creative and the waitstaff was so kind, fun, and informed. What a great experience!

Honestly the best restaurant in Lunenburg, the food was magnificent! Try the seared shrimps, and Olive oil cake as dessert and you’ll not regret it!!

Good food! The dishes are simple but well prepared and done. I loved the Cod and the oyster! From the small sample of greens I tasted, I would bet that their salads are worth ordering.

One of our best meals in Nova Scotia. The food was delicious, very creative and beautifully prepared. Very nice wine list. Service was excellent. And the people eating at the tables around us were friendly and liked to chat, which made it fun.

What a find! We enjoyed two dinners here during our stay in Lunenberg and found both to be fresh, unique, and flavorful. A wonderful fusion of flavors presented in a warm and friendly intimate neighborhood atmosphere. A great craft cocktail menu and the best Boulevardiers in town!

If you venture a few blocks off the main street, Montague, and walk up the hill a few blocks to Lincoln Street, you’ll find a truly great dining experience. Every meal we ate in Lunenberg was great, but LSF was truly our favorite. We even returned a few nights after for a second round. The flavors and ingredients are fresh, the menu changing often, and the service unbeatable. Miso forced oysters were a nightly special and just fantastic but the chef, Paolo, was also preparing foraged mushrooms, seared cod, pickled peppers. We went with a group of six and ordered many plates to share. It was a memorable evening and I highly recommend.

An amazing restaurant to visit. Service was great and food was better! The price fix menu on this Saturday night was amazing. Everyone in our party of 4 tried something different and raved about it! Great beer and wine selection too. Would definitely go back.

This place is a true gem. Just a few blocks from the waterfront you get the feeling this is where the locals in the know go for a great meal. Service was friendly and the food fresh and flavorful. We had the vegetable pakoras to start and the stone fruit chutney was a great addition. My husband had the fish cakes and I had the polenta. Each had a unique spin and we cleaned our plates! Definitely a highlight of our visit to the area.

Most in our group of eleven were disappointed with the sparse selection of food. Knowing beforehand that this place doesn't serve beef or chicken would have been helpful. The employees were just okay. I asked while ordering an appetizer and main entree if I should order dessert then also. The server said no, but they ran out of all the desserts except one by the time others ordered.

The best place to eat in Lunenburg Nova Scotia, which really isn't saying much. The atmosphere is dark and boring and the view is of a dollar store. But at least the chef is prissy and high-strung so therefore you know the food is good.

2 stars for having vegan options and for decent service. Minus the other 3 stars for terrible food quality. My 2 friends, hubby and I were strolling Lunenburg and had heard good things about Lincoln Street Foods and wanted to give it a try. First off, 14 dollars for the vegan fish and chips and other items on the menu just as expensive but I am willing to pay that price if the food is amazing. The service was good and very speedy. Immediately the 3 of us who ordered the fish were struck by how small the portion was. They make housemade "chips" and literally gave us maybe 10 in total. Potatoes are cheap, their is no reason why you couldn't at least fill people on potato. I bit into my "fish" and burnt my mouth because of how greasy it was. Tasteless and greasy, that's all I can really say. Way too expensive for what you get. Needless to say 3 out of 4 of us left really dissatisfied and grossed out. Not what you'd expect from a place that looks like they are trying to show their high class food.

Amazing fine dining food, and equally great service.

Three of us had dinner here last night. Atmosphere was warm and inviting, place was nearly full (but no one standing around waiting -- I assume that's because they take reservations), our table was ready when we arrived. Everything was well prepared, server was very helpful and pleasant. Local seafood and wines features, and even West Dublin buffalo dairy cheesecake. Comfortable pace of courses. Just great all around.

Two delicious mains, pan-seared halibut and chicken/feta meatballs with homemade pasta. Service was very efficient. Only open Friday and Saturday due to lack of staff. Well worth the drive from Chester. We'll go again next week.

Amazing little restaurant in Lunenburg. Consistent food and service year in and year out. The menu changes with the seasons so there is always something fresh and local on the menu.

This restaurant business is simple, take a great chef, give him access to wonderful local produce, plonk him in a stylish locale and sprinkle some great staff...voila! If you're only gripe is that the Chablis could be served in proper white Burgundy glasses, then it gets five stars in my book.

What a find! We were lucky enough to have a local resident recommend this spot. I had the best salad I have ever had in my life here. How can you get excited about salad?!? Well, when they mention picking "sea shoots" on local walks, and you have never seen, let alone eaten such greens - it is pretty phenomenal.

Wow what a dinner experience my BFF and I had here for my birthday. We did the tasting menu with wine pairings. I would describe the food as greatly elevated hippy food. There are tiny greens and little gems of unidentifiable tasty veggies in yummy sauces on the plate. We were stuck on identifying this small delicious oval green thing and were told it was a micro melon cucumber. Of course it was, woulda thunk. Overall great care is taken in the food sourcing, combining and plating, if you like fresh food, I'd highly recommend it.

Amazing. One of the meals I've had in Canada and in Nova Scotia. If I were not leavings soon I'd go back!

We have been to this restaurant several times and always enjoyed a wonderful meal and lovely staff. My husband and I shared the Chili Seared Scallop starter which was very delicious. Then I had the cornmeal crusted haddock plate which is superb and my husband had the Bouillabaisse which he thoroughly enjoyed. Another great starter is the mushroom/walnut pate which our friends were kind enough to let us sample. One time I went with my son and daughter-in-law and my son ordered a certain drink to start. Unfortunately the ice machine was on the blink but one of the staff went to the trouble of going all the way to the grocery store to buy ice for the drink he requested. That was above and beyond as far as service goes. We were all very happy with our chosen dishes that night also. Since we summer in Lunenburg area we are so happy to have such a fantastic new innovative restaurant to enjoy.

The first time my wife and I visited, we loved it. Food was imaginative, flavourful and presented with flair. Our most recent visit was something else - we ordered 2 entrees, which were EXACTLY the same except for the protein - same veg, same side, same sauce so my beef tasted exactly like her fish. Absolutely, no effort was made to distinguish the 2 entrees. The desserts were even worse. Bland, little portions we took one bite of and left the rest. For a bill of $150, we should be able to expect much more. The server was pleasant, though.

(4) ~ very good food & service MY MENU: ** Smoked Porter(beer) = (4.5) Very Good! ** Mussels = (4) very good * Corn encrusted Haddock = (3.5) good

Fabulous meal this evening. We regret not taking a picture of our meals, they were gorgeous. Thank you to the staff and most of all Paulo who came over to share his stories on the industry. Will definitely be back this summer!

My first time eating at Lincoln Street Food. I regret not having gone sooner. The food, service and setting are all excellent! My prix fixe was served with an amuse bouche of delicious fried zucchini blossom. Their version of a dark and stormy was neither as gingery or as boozy as I prefer, but a fine drink at any rate. For a first course, I had vegan "fish and chips" consisting of lion's mane mushrooms sliced, coated in sea lettuce powder, then battered and fried and served with tartar sauce, etc. The "chips" in this case were tasty housemade potato chips. My main course was a saag paneer phyllo bundle with a lentil fritter, and a delicious and assortment of vegetables in various preparations - some wild-ish/foraged things that I could not identify but were enjoyable. I had a "chocolate cake" that was more sliced mousse if I recall correctly. Tasty, but nothing spectacular or inventive like the savoury components of the meal. I'm eager to go back and try other dishes, like their vegetable tempura, which sounded delicious and I would have ordered if the vegan fish and chips hadn't been a daily special. My new favourite spot for food when in Lunenburg.

Had not heard about this restaurant and interestingly, a waitress from a local restaurant told us about Lincoln Street Food. Claire was very attentive and oh so friendly! The food was excellent and everyone wanted to make sure we had a good experience. We even got to meet the owner. We felt this was our favorite dinner restaurant in Lunenburg. I have to say the food is amazing in Nova Scotia....doesn't really matter where you go. We figured it has lots to do with the chefs using organic ingredients. Can't wait to go back to Nova Scotia!!

If you are in the town of Lunenburg the Lincoln Street Food eatery is a must. Make sure you reserve so that you don't miss it. The Sunday Brunch is mind blowing and comparable to the best spots on the planet. The evening menue is a constant delight as well. It just never dispoints .Paulo the chef constantly creates new and exsiting dishes from around the globe. Simply it cannot be exsplain dot just needs to be enjoyed. The staff is savi and the wine list exsptionaly pared to the menu. Enjoy

When in the Lunenburg area, my diet consists mainly of holiday cookies and dishes involving the lobsters literally from our backyard. Thankfully I was able to temporarily retract my face from a tin of shortbread and visit LSF last week. Highlights: - Pan-seared scallops ($11) to start. They come only four to a plate, sadly, so not the forty you'll want. Maple reduction is fantastic, as is the vegetable slaw, which defies the general nonappealingness of the concept of "vegetable slaw". - Bouillabaisse ($25) is very standard but nicely done, so if you're a fan of a classic seafood stew, this is that. - Xmas whisky sours (drink special, $14) ditched egg whites and lemon for spice-infused maple syrup and orange peel. - Propeller ginger/root beers ($2.5) are your soda options and oh my god the ginger is so good. So great for any non-alkies or drivers or ginger beer lovers (me). - Tap or sparkling water are both complimentary. Why isn't everyone doing this yet? Other people's highlights: - Chicken legs (main special, $20-something) were ordered twice at our table and twice loved. Alongside roasted veggies, it was a very filling amount of food. Other-lights: - Pound cake with braised pears (dessert special, $6) - good! - Soba noodles and dashi ($23) warmed up a cold night, but wasn't the dashi I was expecting. The very dark broth was super soy saucy which overwhelmed the dish and made it sort of monotonous. Luckily I had an excellent spread with which to break it up (see above). - Mushroom and walnut pate ($8) was out-flavoured by the accompanying tasty piping-hot spiced olives. Our server topped us up on crostini when we ran out, before we asked. Apparently some proceeds are donated to charity, but I don't know where. You could find out and have another reason to go (on top of the lovely staff, gorgeous space, friendly-to-all-eaters menu and sustainable/organic/local/seasonal/etc. food). They're closed for the season now, but if you're in town and see LSF open, be sure to stop in.

Food was fabulous. Coastal lobster salad, vegetable tempera, scallops, and mussels were all divine. Coconut pudding was amazing. Owner and chef Paolo was fun and took time to visit with us,

This is a fantastic restaurant! Sophisticated and delicious. Great tempura. The curried tofu was outstanding. Great beet salad. Nice portions - even the small plates. Good selection of beers and wines.
