The Townhouse Kitchen

We are developing our new summer menu as more and more great food comes into season here! Please, bear with us!

The Townhouse kitchen makes almost everything we serve from scratch–pickles, chutneys, breads, desserts, patés, etc.– using the best natural ingredients. The few things we don’t make here, we source from excellent local suppliers; The Pork Shop’s smoked sausages & bacon, organic baguettes from Kingsville Farm, Knoydart Farm’s organic cheeses, and pita bread from The Fancy Lebanese Bakery. We buy Antigonish and Guysborough Co. beef from Vacheresse’s, our fish and seafood are all Nova Scotian (excepting the tuna when out of season here), and whenever possible we feature local produce sourced from small local producers like Seabright Market Gardens, MacLennan’s Glen, Eastern Sun Farm, & Admiral Bayfield’s Gardens. Our food takes a little more work, but we feel it’s worth it and hope you do too!

***We try to offer gluten free (GF) options, but please let our servers know if you have any allergies. As we do bake our own bread and desserts with flour in a small kitchen, we cannot guarantee everything is completely free from trace amounts of gluten.
