Charlotte Lane

We just enjoyed the French Tasting Menu which was an 8-course delicious dinner experience. Lovely place, people and food. So glad we chose this to celebrate two special birthdays in the fam 🎈🥳

I had wanted to visit this restaurant ever since I was an adolescent, years ago, after overhearing my parents speak so highly of it. After spending the previous decade in Ontario but now having returned to Nova Scotia, my recent wedding anniversary presented a nice opportunity to finally try Charlotte Lane.

My wife & I were extremely pleased with everything. The customer service was top-shelf, warm and welcoming. The drinks were superb, while the food itself was some of the best tasting and well presented dishes I've had in a long time; I say this having visited many high-end restaurants throughout Toronto recently.

The gift shop out front was very intriguing and we couldn't wait to purchase some of the items there to take home following our meal. On a sidenote - special thanks to Cheryl for being such an excellent server. She was courteous, thoughtful, very insightful, and always knew the best amount of time to spend at a table while chatting quickly. My wife & I very much look forward to our next visit with this amazing restaurant.

We have been going to Charlotte Lane for MANY years and we're a bit worried that the quality would not be as good under the new management. We were very WRONG! Great food, fun drinks and the service was delightful. We had the Haddock Beignets for an appetizer and they were absolutely wonderful! Could have been a full meal. We also had the Scallop, potatoes and veggies special and the scallops melted in the mouth. The veggies were crisp-tender and the seasoning enhanced the dish. We also enjoyed the Bouillabaisse which was was superior! Could not finish everything BUT did make room for the cheesecake. Which also did not disappoint! Absolutely would recommend it to anyone. The menu is posted outside so check it out!

We hosted our wedding dinner and reception here last year (July 2022) and it was fabulous. It was so easy working with Emilie and Nakul to create a perfect meal in an intimate setting.

We hosted a small wedding with under 20 people. The back room and adjoining patio fit our needs perfectly. Having private access to the patio off the dining room allowed for us to begin with a standing reception outside before sitting down to dinner. It also provided a space for the small children to have fun.

Emilie and Nakul were exceptionally responsive and accommodating in the lead up and during the dinner. The menu options were exciting and catered to a lot of different tastes. We offered both vegetarian and meat options. Salads and pork belly appetisers. Veggie curry, slow-roasted beef for mains. About a quarter of our guests were children and Nakul managed to put together beautiful dishes for the younger guests too. Each course was exceptional!

We highly recommend considering this place for your next event. It’s a charming restaurant in Shelburne’s historic district. We’re heading back soon for their Sunday brunch that we’ve heard is to die for. Looking forward to seeing the Charlotte Lane crew again!

Wonderful food and ambiance. Friendly service staff. We recently went for the prix fixe dinner/lunch and it was wonderful. Every course was fantastic. Real eye opener. The mushroom soup was unbelievable. The gnocchi superb. Ravioli, delicious. Added: we recently went to their Indian sampler evening and it was indescribably delicious. It was a complete shock. I've had Indian food in great restaurants in London and New York and this was right up there. I posted a picture of the menu.
