Alma Boathouse

We stopped in Alma en route from St Johns to Moncton. We checked out a few of the local restaurants and opted for this one. We are very glad we did. The chowder was out of this world, the 1 piece of haddock and fries was superb (glad we did not order 2 pieces). Our waitress Leeann (hope I got her name right!!) was great fun and obliging. Highly recommend.

We stopped in Alma on the way to Hopewell Rocks for a bite to eat. We chose Alma Boathouse as it claimed to have the best seafood chowder in the maritimes. Well they were not wrong, the chowder was superb, full of seafood and it had a great taste. I have to mention the toast which was served with the chowder. It was covered with an awesome lobster butter, I would have happily just eaten this it was that good. My wife had a lobster roll which was also excellent and not covered in seafood sauce which sometimes seems to happen. It's a pity I will not get the chance to go back this trip.

We stopped in Alma for lunch on our way to some sight seeing and walked by this restaurant. The food looked appealing from what we could see on the patio. We both ordered lobster rolls, one with fries and one with seafood chowder. The service was decent enough but the lobster rolls were average tasting (My fiancé is from new brunswick and found the lobster had very little taste. That was his opinion) but the seafood chowder was tasty. I had glimpsed at the prices when ordering but somehow our lunch came to $50. If you're willing to pay that then great, but could be expensive if you have to pay for a group/kids

Pleasant staff, average decor. Quite happy until the fish and chips came. From then on we just looked at each other and over and over cooed about the best ever. We come from Whitstable in England and should know fish and chips. Definately the best in our 70 years.

The Boathouse was recommended by a staff member at another tourist site. She made a great recommendation! It isn't much to look at. The interior décor is minimal. All that is irrelevant when you sink your teeth into the food ... the seafood dishes are excellent.The service is great! It's a popular restaurant given that the indoor and outdoor seating is always full.We highly recommend the Boathouse for a delicious lunch!!
