Found this little gem when I was working in the area. It gave me the feeling of complete relaxation the vibe, air and music made me feel like I was watching bob ross paint….so relaxing. The food I had was the pork shoulder, so juicy so good I highly recommend this spot.

Enjoyed a special family dinner here with the 7 course tasting menu. Arguably the best dining experience in the Maritimes. Incredible food & service.

Such a great place. We were there for brunch everyone at our table loved it. The truffle honey on my breakfast sandwich was just perfect. Highly recommend!

I have been there both for dinner and brunch. Both times, the whole experience was fabulous. The food is exceptional. Attention to detail, fantastic combination of tastes and textures. All parts of the meals were great. The service is excellent as well. Warm and welcoming, the staff makes you feel like you are coming home while delivering spotless professional service. A true gem in at the end of the Annapolis valley.

What an incredible dining experience! We loved every bit of our meals - from the wonderful servers who explained the courses beautifully and made wonderful recommendations for beverage choices to the meal itself. The chef was even able to make a change to a course to remove shellfish from the second course. I hope to get back there soon!

Without a doubt this is one of the best restaurants in all of Atlantic Canada and possibly the country. My partner and I came here for the Valentine's Weekend prix fixe and were blown away by the quality, value, attention to detail, ambiance, and level of service. The butter-poached lobster with truffle shavings was probably the best lobster we had ever had in all of Nova Scotia, and the beef tenderloin was perfectly cooked and seasoned, with a true melt-in-your-mouth quality. We ordered the wine pairing with our meal and were delighted to find that all four courses were paired with local NS wines, which perfectly complemented each course. This restaurant could easily stand among the most critically-acclaimed fine dining establishments in Toronto and beyond, and I cannot recommend it enough.

Fantastic restaurant just outside of Annapolis Royal proper. The chef has great flavour profiles in his dishes, and the service was excellent. Thanks to D'Arcy for the great evening!I had the pork belly and a smoked old fashioned to start, then the gnocchi and some wine for the main course, and finally the apple clafoutis with some apple cream liqueur from Grand Pré. They were also really good about accommodating my friend's vegan diet, and made a couple of dishes specifically for her. Highly recommend this place to anyone who is near Annapolis Royal.

I've had the absolute pleasure of dining at Founders House several times and also enjoying brunch there. It is extraordinary! It is amazing to have this quality of a dining experience right here in rural Nova Scotia. Chef Chris Pyne really delivers - I've had the flat iron steak, the chicken two ways, the calamari, the haddock, and the caesar salad, and the pork belly - everything was incredibly flavourful and perfectly prepared and plated. I'm still thinking about the pork belly and that was the very first thing I tried!! The desserts I've tried include the Annapolis Apple Clafoutis, Peanut Butter “Pie”, and the deliciously decadent Chocolate Crémeux - all delicious and all perfectly sized for sharing. This restaurant is on regular rotation now for my husband and I - the food and decor along with the incredible views make this place a must try!

I had the pleasure of dining here twice while visiting family, once for dinner and the morning after for brunch. It was a wonderful experience, and I am still surprised that such a small town has such a great restaurant.Our dinner was spectacular; our waiter was kind and attentive and each dish was well crafted with high quality, local ingredients.In short, I can't wait to go back and can certainly understand why my family goes here regularly.

Amazing Brunch!! The mushroom croquet madame was literally the best ever! And the English breakfast - wow - especially the sausages (we hear they are made specially for the restaurant) and the beans! So so good. Thanks for making our day Founders House!
