Port City Royal Named One Of Canada’s Best New Restaurants
Reading Time: < 1 minute
SAINT JOHN – Saint John’s Port City Royal has been named one of the best New Canadian Restaurants of 2015 by Air Canada’s enRoute magazine. Better yet, they’re #2 on the list.
Port City Royal opened in mid-2014 and specializes in unique east-coast inspired cuisine.
They also have an impressive beer and specialized cocktails menu and don’t even get us started on the atmosphere and interior. Designed by Saint John-based Acre Architects, this place puts the trendiest “big city” bars to shame.
enRoute describes it brilliantly…
“Time plays tricks on you at Port City Royal. Duck in off a steep side street in the uptown of Canada’s oldest incorporated city, and your footfalls echo over worn floorboards. Peeling plaster reveals exposed lath and brick, part of Acre Architects’ intentionally unfinished restoration that suggests an archeological excavation. Locals in herringbone blazers sip barman Eric Scouten’s stirred manhattans on a sprawling leather chesterfield, beneath a photo of Peter Fonda in Easy Rider.”
