Little Louis'
MODERN CANADIAN $$$
$$$
( 506-855-2022;
www.littlelouis.ca
; 245 Collishaw St; mains $24-34; 5-10pm)
The odd loca-
tion of this nouvelle-cuisine bistro - upstairs in a faceless industrial strip mall - only
adds to its speakeasy vibe. The atmosphere is cozy, with low lights, white tablecloths and
jazzy live music. Local foodies rave about dishes such as foie gras with apple-wine jelly,
or crispy steelhead trout with shitake and saffron-vanilla butter. Whatever you do, always
start with raw local oysters on the half shell with fresh horseradish. The wine list racks
up awards on a regular basis.

MARKET
(

;
cnr Acadie Ave & Gauvin Rd, Dieppe; 7am-1:30pm Sat)
A great
place to get a taste of New Brunswick's vibrant Acadian culture is this weekly market.
Stalls overflow with locally made cheeses, cottage wines and homemade preserves as
well as Acadian dishes such as
tourtière
(a meat pie),
fricot à la poule
(home-style chick-
en stew) and rabbit pie. You can nibble sweet pastries such as
plogues
and
guaffres
while
browsing the craft stalls. To get there from downtown, head 2km east on Main St, which
becomes Champlain, to Acadie Ave. Look for the yellow roof.
