One of the Best Restaurants in Fredericton

Getting together with friends to celebrate a birthday is always a good reason to head to Wolastoq Wharf. As soon as “Let’s do lunch” comes up - Wolastoq Wharf is easily agreed upon next. Wolastoq Wharf is one of the best restaurants in Fredericton, New Brunswick for a casual lunch, or a weekend brunch, or an exquisite evening of fine dining. Service is A-One here too. The staff are warm and friendly and welcome you like family. They take great care at Wolastoq Wharf to ensure every customer’s needs and dietary requests are well taken care of. Wolastoq Wharf offers many gluten-free options too. Many friends I know trust this restaurant more than any other in town when it comes to their special dietary requirements. Furthermore, the relaxed friendly atmosphere here allows you to linger a little longer, especially when it is a special occasion. Dining at Woolastoq Wharf means you can truly savour the meal, and the moment, and each other's company without ever feeling rushed.

Excellent Seafood Restaurant

We all chose the Scallops Carbonara on this birthday celebration day, and it did not disappoint! Wolastoq Wharf is well known as an excellent seafood restaurant. It is the go to for seafood in Fredericton and for good reason. Chef Adam Turnbull knows seafood and delivers perfectly flavourful meals. Our plates were loaded with heaps of small sea scallops as well as a few massive ones. Toast points and just the right amount of fresh parmesan, bacon, veggies and shallots made this meal one we raved about days later. Watch Wolastoq Wharf’s Facebook page for pop-up seafood specials and in February be sure to take in their Dine Around Freddy menu offerings of extra value 3-course meals.

Can We Talk About The Desserts?!

Can we talk about desserts because Wolastoq Wharf has that wrapped up too! When you are celebrating someone's birthday, well, it is just a given that you must order dessert, and all I can say is - WOW - every - single - time!  Our eyes were as big as saucers, when the extraordinary generous servings of carrot cake (chosen by both the birthday girl and my other bestie) arrived. I ordered the heavenly chocolate brownie with ice cream, which was almost too pretty to eat, but somehow… I managed. 

Where to Eat in Canada

Wolastoq Wharf is consistently awarded ‘Where to Eat in Canada’ year after year based on customer reviews. This upscale seafood restaurant is located on the north side of Fredericton - just across the Westmorland Street Bridge - mere minutes from downtown. It is a cozy spot for an intimate dinner for two or a comfortable place to gather a small group of friends. Wolastoq Wharf can accommodate larger groups, but plan well ahead as indoor seating is fairly limited. They do have a covered seasonal patio that extends dining space significantly in warmer months. Lovely live music (with a very small cover charge), seafood specials, and cocktails are often offered on warm summer evenings. There are so many reasons to love Wolastoq Wharf. It is one of my favourite restaurants in Fredericton and I am not alone. Most customers, like our group, enjoy themselves so much that before they leave, they plan ahead for a return visit.
