Eat
When you find yourself in an unfamiliar city, it can be tempting to settle for something familiar to ease your hunger pains, like a fast food chain or coffee shop. But doing so in Edmundston would be a big mistake. The city is bursting with cafés and restaurants for different tastes and price points. From one foodie to another, here is your quintessential guide to eating well in Edmundston.
Café Flora
15 Rue Principale, Saint-Jacques, NB E7B 1A3
You will not regret grabbing brunch at this beautiful café located at the New Brunswick Botanical Garden. The menu is filled with creative dishes made from fresh and local ingredients used for homemade breads, sauces, granola and more. Enjoy twists on breakfast classics, like omelets topped with fresh tomato salsa served with a bacon watermelon salad, or homemade pancakes stuffed with lemony mascarpone cheese topped with sautéed maple cinnamon apples and maple caramel, as you take in the view of the gardens below.
Dejeuner AM Breakfast
1791-B Rue Principale Madawaska Maliseet First Nation, NB
This restaurant may resemble a traditional breakfast diner with wooden booths, brightly coloured coffee mugs, and images of bacon and eggs adorned on each wall, but don’t be fooled: the menu is extensive, and features everything from parfaits to crepes, from bagel breakfast sandwiches to breakfast poutine and much more. For someone who can never make up their mind when it comes to breakfast food, I was very impressed with the opportunity to order the “Sweet and Salty” which satisfied all my breakfast cravings: The sweet being half a toasted cinnamon raison bagel topped with fresh fruit and custard, and the salty being half a toasted regular bagel topped with eggs, bacon and cheese. Any breakfast enthusiast will appreciate the tasty and generous portions served here.
