On The Dock

Bring your appetite here. On the dock is a great place to enjoy really good food with a nice view of North Rustico’s harbour. We were able to make it there on the last day they were open for the season. We are looking forward to getting back to the island and we will be sure to get back here. The fish and chips were superb and the fish tacos were delicious. We would recommend both dishes. The service was as well very courteous and pleasant.

Loved this place! Had the seafood chowder, lots of meat and tasty broth. Had the scallop burger and it was delish!! Very light and tasty. The serving staff were all extremely pleasant and friendly as well. Can’t remember our server’s name, but she was great as well. If we had more time on the island, we would be back!

A good alternative to the nearby famous Blue Mussel Cafe which is always full. We went there after the Blue Mussel announced us an hour waiting time to be seated.
The place is directly on the sea, its view is beautiful (much nicer than Blue Mussel), the lobster rolls are excellent (lot of lobster, little mayo), but also the fish & chips, the haddock burger and the calamari …. we tried almost everything from the sea. And the service is very friendly.
We had an excellent time there and next time we will go there directly and won’t even try to go to Blue Mussel first.

Like everyone says, the crab dip is amazing and a must! We also had the fish n chips and the fish tacos. Everything is so fresh. The homemade chips with the crab dip are addictive. I had potato salad with my meal and it was delightful. Recommend this place highly. Don't get discouraged about the lack of parking, most of those cars are for the other restaurant. We parked on the beach and were seated right away at On The Dock.

Ate at “On the Dock” last night. Overall, great solid dinner location in North Rustico. The table started off with the crab dip: absolutely recommend, it was amazing. I ordered the fish and chips to try out a classic. The fish was nice and flaky, the fries were perfectly seasoned, the coleslaw lacked a bit of flavour but the tartar sauce was on the dot. My parents both ordered seafood linguine. It was especially nice for my mom, who was able to enjoy the seafood linguine (contains pine nuts in the pesto) entirely nut-free. And to top it off, dessert was great. Hope to come again next time I’m on the island!
