NEW BRUNSWICK DESTINATIONS CANADA

S CANADIAN CITIES
go, Moncton is vastly
underrated in culinary
terms. Low slung on
the banks of the tidal
Petitcodiac River where
A the highest tides from
the Bay of Fundy create a world-renowned
tidal bore, the city is a combination of
clapboard and paint, red stone and 60s
architecture. It’s a modest place, quietly
proud of its Acadian roots, but for the past
decade, and not much more than that, it
has been developing a food culture that’s
distinctly its own, based on ancient Acadian
traditions, where recipes are handed down,
seeds are saved and farm markets flourish
in their authenticity. The new cuisine of this
largely Francophone region is being led by a
handful of exceedingly creative chefs whose
restaurants could easily hold their own in
Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver.
