Our skilled chefs are committed to providing the freshest available ingredients, in an affordable fashion.  They not only spend a great deal of time obtaining ingredients from local farmers, but visit them in their fields.  With the Bay of Fundy being home to lobster, haddock, flounder and the finest scallops around, our chefs have been known to join the fishermen on their boats where they not only understand the work involved in bringing these culinary delights to our tables but also get hands on experience in the care and processing.

At Bare Bones we are committed to working with our local farmers and fishers and we do our best to provide as much product from our local area as possible.  Join us for lunch or dinner and enjoy an experience that will be sure to leave you wanting to return.

About the Chowder

Bare Bones Bistro’s seafood chowder utilzes all things great from the land and sea.  During the last three years in business we have managed to source roughly 99% of our chowder ingredients local, obviously the latter half of summer and early fall being the best times for this.  With 100 billion tonnes of water replenishing the bay of nutrients for the seafood we harvest for this chowder and the short trip they require to travel to our kitchen, this chowder is sure to be one you will be writing home about.
