FRESH - fine dining in New Brunswick, Canada

When you're traveling in eastern Canada, it's not always easy to find a good place to eat that doesn't just serve greasy fare. It seems that French fries and deep fried delicacies are the norm here. If you want to have a really good fine dining experience you should know about this quaint little restaurant that's located in an old passenger train car.... FRESH.

Located in Bristol, just north of Florenceville, on the beautiful Saint John River scenic drive, Shogomoc Railway is easy to miss. This historic site showcases a restored 1914 CPR train station with a gift shop, railway artifacts and visitor information. One of the 3 CPR cars has been renovated as a fine dining restaurant.

Sara Caines is the genius behind this establishment, and she strives to bring different flavors to the region. All dishes are made from absolutely fresh ingredients, and each offering is mouth-watering. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal. Don't pass up this chance for a really good meal in a quaint spot.

Thanks for reading my Maui Blog - Aloha!

When my two boys were in the minor hockey league, trips back and forth from Maine into Canada were three and four times a week, or more. 

I enjoyed our location on the New Brunswick border, and being able to jump across and take in a hockey game. But now my youngest is a senior and his varsity season just ended. The Slammers and other hockey talent have games at the beautiful Woodstock Carleton County Civic Center arena and just because I am no longer chasing the black puck around Canadian rinks, it's time to take a trip across the border.  The center also has a huge pool that younger kids really enjoy having their birthday parties at and it is reasonable priced to "rent".

Woodstock New Brunswick is a beautiful little town similiar sized to Houlton Maine. Maybe hit a movie, check out some stores, get something to eat...and just get out of the country for something different to do.  Change of scnery on a local level as winter winds down. From my home on North Street, the border is about two miles.  Other ActiveRainers on the Northern or Southern border border also have the same option and depending on the value of the dollar/loonie, it can be a money saving trip too as relaxtion of duties on goods made in Northern America are no longer a concern. Canadian real estate brokers do the same thing all over North America. I see lots of gas and milk sales with drivers wearing Canadian plates. And a local grocer told me turkeys are the big carrot to get Canadians to cross the border too. He had over 700 in stock one morning and they were all gone by the end of the day and most of them destined for tables in Canada. Wonder if it is only the price or maybe something about range fed or the manner turkeys are raised in the Canada?
