Paulin - West Caraquet

What a wonderful dining experience! I made a reservation on Open Table after reading some great reviews. The following morning, Chef Karen, who is also a co-owner of the hotel, called me to discuss menu options and my preferences. When I arrived at the scheduled time, I was informed by the server/host, Anthony, that I would be the only guest for dinner. This resulted in exceptional, personalized service that was warm and thoughtful. I started off in the lounge with a glass of wine from their well-curated list before moving to the charming dining room for my meal. The dinner began with a delicious cold soup similar to gazpacho, with a hint of spice and some shrimp. The meal then progressed at a leisurely pace to the main course: locally sourced Arctic char stuffed with smoked salmon, sautéed scallops, roasted potatoes, and vegetables. For dessert, I enjoyed sponge cake with peaches and local blueberries, topped with a scoop of ice cream. This was by far the best meal I've had in Caraquet! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Karen did a fantastic job with our meal. It was a very memorable evening.

I stumbled upon this restaurant during a business trip. The food was cooked to order using the freshest ingredients. The owners, who also double as the chef and service staff, provide excellent service. I would highly recommend this place, but not if you are in a rush. It made for a very enjoyable and relaxing evening.

Beautiful dinner experience! I booked on Open Table after some positive reviews. I was impressed the next morning when Chef (and co-operators of the hotel) Karen called me to go through menu options and my preferences. When I showed up at the right time, I learned from the server/host Anthony that I was the only guest of the dinner. What meant that I had an exceptional, warm, thoughtful service. Began in the lounge with a glass of wine (selected wine list); moved to the charming dining room to eat. The meal began with a cold gazpacho-like soup, slightly piquant with some shrimps. At a pleasant pace on the main course: locally grown Arctic charcoal, filled with smoked salmon; sautéed scallops; roasted potatoes and veg. Dessert of sponge cake with peaches and local blueberries, with a puppet game of ice. Best meal in Caraquet! Very recommended.

Karen did an excellent job with our meal. Very unforgettable evening.
