In-Depth Information
fine restaurants (some that pop up in very unexpected rural locations) will nearly always
cater to dietary restrictions, as will many B&Bs.
Habits & Customs
Atlantic Canadians follow the tradition of eating morning breakfast, midday lunch and
early-evening dinner. Expect the generally high standards of North American restaurant
and bar service to apply throughout the region. Table service is common at most pubs, al-
though you can still order at the bar as well. Don't forget to give a tip to your table serv-
er, and consider dropping some change in the bar-server's pot if you stick around for a
few beers.
All of the Atlantic provinces have adopted widespread smoking bans. Nova Scotia's
law is the toughest in the nation, prohibiting smoking at outdoor eating and drinking es-
tablishments in addition to all indoor public areas.
