Brown Dog Kitchen - Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia

Decided to treat myself today at The Brown Dog Kitchen.
I like the idea of the wall menu that included specials of the day, and they all looked amazing to try!
I went in specifically for the chicken satay.
Overall, the meal was perfectly portioned. I was hoping the chicken was on a skewer as the pictured but instead, it was cubed and placed neatly on a bed of rice with two bamboo mini skewers.
A side of a spicy cucumber salad, also a peanut dip for the chicken that was so subtle and tasteful. While biting into the butter tart, the crust is fluffy and crunchy at the same time. The filing just rightly and just sweet enough. I'm not sure if it was homemade, but it was great!
I also love that the restaurant is steps away from the library.
A very unique experience.

Decided to go when I didn’t know what to make for supper. So glad we did. Excellent food with amazing service. Would certainly go back again. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves Indian food. Can’t wait to try some different dishes next time.

What a beautiful Reno! It’s going to be dangerous having them across the street from my office. Today I had a mango lassi & red curry shrimp. WAS SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!

Very disappointing considering all the good reviews. I understand cultural dishes are the specialty here, though I feel like an honest review is in order for any tourists in the area that might not have the most diverse tastebuds considering this is one of the few local delivery options. I can tell the food was prepared with care, but with the few options we were provided and the false advertising through your menu we won’t be returning.

Decided to try this restaurant while staying for a couple nights in Annapolis Royal because it is one of the few places in the area that does delivery. Our first pick restaurant delivery driver was sick.

We found the menu online, although most of the menu we were both unfamiliar with, we both found Cheeseburger options and decided to go with those. Though the cheeseburger is a lunch option, we thought it would be available considering the menu online says breakfast is available ALL day.

We called them at roughly 4:45pm to place a delivery order and were told that they could only make 3 items at that time; we were unfamiliar with all except the pulled pork sandwich. I don’t understand how you can’t serve burgers after 4pm. I can’t even eat pork but it was better than not eating at all which was truly the reality. So we ordered 2 pulled pork sandwiches. No other food. No drinks. It was $29.90 for the 2 sandwiches. I was expecting them to be a lot bigger for the price but they weren’t. I ended up having to pick off most of the pork, leaving just the bun and few veggies that were on it.

Got the steamed dumplings for take out. They were delicious and tender with a nice tangy peanut sauce.

For my grandpa's 92nd birthday I wanted to get him a locally made treat instead of a boring grocery store cake. His favourite dessert has always been butter tarts, so when I saw that Brown Dog was making them, I jumped at the chance to try them out! They were happy to take my order for a dozen tarts a few days before the birthday party and were able to have them ready for me to pick up after work. My whole family loved them; pure perfection of the classic butter tart. <3

Yum! The red curry was a bit watery but the flavour is authentic. Generous amount of shrimps too. The mango lassi was so delicious. This is so much better than the oh so common fish and chips that is Nova Scotia. If you want fresh and healthy food, you’re in luck!

Brown Dog Kitchen is an absolute gem! The food is authentic, fantastic, flavourful and consistently surpasses expectation. Not surprising as the team is genuinely caring and incredibly skilled! Tucked into the community hub, Brown Dog is a lovely walk to the Historic Gardens, the Fort, waterfront ... and two steps from the library! Whether you eat in or get takeout to explore Annapolis, your heart and palate will be nourished. Beyond grateful to have such wonderful food and people in our community!
