The Townhouse: Trendy Restaurant in Antigonish with Creative Local Cuisine

One of the more trendy restaurants in Antigonish with a varied menu that changes up somewhat regularly. My wife and I got take out after a recommendation from friends, and everything was well prepared and traveled well. The confit pork belly bowl was very succulent and well marinated. The squid ink risotto tasted quite good with a solid amount of calamari and scallops. We also got the garlic focaccia bread as a side and were very happy with it.

Awesome place to check out! One of the best old fashions i've ever had, and thats without bourbon due to the tariffs. I had the seared scallops and they were amazing. As someone who travels a-lot I've tried scallops every way possible and these are some of the best I've had. (Not a huge portion), but the blend with pork belly and mash, with the reduction was spot on! Also did the iceberg wedge. Which was again amazing. more pork belly homemade ranch, blue cheese local radishes. Topped with chives and sesame. Truly delightful. Vibe and atmosphere is very Morrison hotel, with a nice bar and multiple seating areas. Server was great! All in all great experience! Would recommend to anyone!

My husband and I just had dinner here for the first time. We had the nachos to start, I had the pasta special and he had the pork belly bowl, and for dessert we had sticky toffee pudding and the pot de creme. Everything was absolutely delicious. The nachos were so savory, the braised beef and bone marrow complimented each other perfectly, absolutely delicious! The pasta special was the best pasta dish I've had in a long time, the flavors were bright and fresh and perfect for gall (fennel sausage baked ziti), and my husband's pork belly bowl was perfection. The pork belly was so tender and flavorful. The desserts were a delightful end to a perfect dinner out. My husband also enjoyed a flight of local craft beer and said they were all delicious. The service was just right as well, very attentive and prompt without hovering. Absolutely would recommend The Townhouse for any special occasion. We will definitely be back.

I have never had a bad meal here. This is one of those places that when you eat your meal, you are sad... because the meal was just so tasty that you didn't want it to be finished. The menu changes with local ingredients availability and it is worth dining here often for the many creative dishes. The staff are always pleasant and make great recommendations too. Definitely a top place to eat in Antigonish and in Nova Scotia!

We decided to sit at the bar. Awesome decision. Michael was our server/bartender and was very personable, made delicious cocktails & had some great food recommendations! We had scallops and lobster risotto. 10 out of 10. Calamari & halibut also looked amazing. Highly recommended. We’ll be back!

The service was steller, the drinks were quick, but the food did not measure up. After being informed that a couple of items were not available which is fine, myself and accompanying college both fell to a menu substitution. Although tasty, was disappointing at the same time. The shrimp pasta overall was not a win. The shrimp was perfect, with a flavourful pepper crisp inspired sauce, layered with care. The pasta was overcooked with minimal texture. The value of The Townhouse rests in the service.

Nice spot in town, latest one open and was glas it was. Food was awesome. Cheeseburger and fries classic option but really hit the spot. Also had a few glasses of the Nova Scotia party ale and was impressed. Service was on point, staff were attentive and made the experience better. Live music was awesome, had jazz going during my stay. Definitely worth the visit if you're in town.

This is an absolutely amazing little pub right off of Main Street. The environment is warm and cozy. The food was amazing, note that the menus are limited, however they do have a wide variety of options. My table had the oysters to start, with the mushroom pate dish, both superb. For our meals we had the pork belly dish, mussels and fries and the nachos. Each dish was delicious and warm. My nachos came about 3-5 minutes after the rest of my table (I barely noticed) and they offered us cake and our choice of ice cream on the house. Both desserts were amazing, the ice cream is made in house and they have very fun flavours. Overall, this place is amazing! Our server was Kielan and he was great, good sense of humour, knowledge of food and knowledge of the town. 10/10 would recommend visiting!
