Shoebox Cantina

Amazing food and service by Don. Many gluten free options, good beer list and craft cocktails. A must eat spot in New Glasgow.

Yummy food, good prices and top-notch service! A new restaurant with stylish seats and a fun mix of art, including some Pictou County paraphernalia. The menu includes a number of Mexican items, and we were excited to try out a new flavour profile while we were in town. The steak tacos came out sizzling and tender, with spicy salsa verde. The fried Brussel sprouts were crispy and served with an addictive sauce and crisped rice on top for innovative extra crunch. The avocado tlayuda were crunchy and topped with refried beans, fresh avocado and other veggies (not a spicy offering but hot sauce available). And the affogato was super yummy — cherry ice cream with espresso poured on top table-side. A new gem for New Glasgow that also has lots of vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options too.
