The Octopus's Garden Cafe & Bistro

Just outside Fundy National Park, in Alma is a surprisingly fantastic restaurant.
A true Gem, a rare find, can’t stop raving about it!
They made the most common dish like a tomato soup into something spectacular.
The perfect blend and mix of herbs and spices, the right amount of cream and voila, a hearty soulful bowl of goodness.
They cater to Vegans and other dietary restrictions too.
The Asian noodle bowl was lip smacking dish .
We also tried their lemon mint ice tea and the vegan burrito bowl. Both equally delicious.
The depth in flavours and the intricate balance in taste shows the chef is a true master in his/ her craft. They know food and flavours very well, it’s truly a delight to eat here.
A great place to stop by if I’m the Fundy National park area.

Best place to eat in Alma! Scallops and Cod cooked to perfection. Homemade pasta absolutely wonderful. Chicken marsala with buttery mashed potatoes so good. Highly recommended.

After a bit of a tough hike at Fundy NP I ordered a grilled cheese (add bacon) and the soup of the day, which was an amazing tomato basil soup. We ate lunch on the patio and the whole experience was amazing. This really topped off the trip to Fundy, and the service was very quick and so nice. I absolutely recommend this spot to anyone for lunch. I also had an americano (black) and it was smooth and delicious.

Our server Kim was amazing. The pasta did our trips to Italy proud :) we loved the food, the service was exceptional and the ambiance delightful. Special thanks to Kim :) Added bonus that we could bring our fur babies.

First time dining here for lunch and it was excellent! Great service and the food was delicious! We had the vegan burrito bowl and spicy ramen which were flawless. For dessert we had the lemon square and zucchini chocolate cake which was moist and delicious. So glad we tried it out and we’ll definitely be back again! A solid 4.5/5 stars.

Amazing cappuccino, incredible meals (scallops!!!!), freshly made key lime pie, wonderful environment, and to top it- great staff. Shannon was so kind and sweet. We decided to come back for dinner. One of the best restaurants ever!!! This is from a Toronto girl … don’t forget to get the cappuccino

Delicious food, great customer service, lovely patio sitting. I had scallop pasta which was very good ( the fresh parsley was a great addition same with the thyme).

Best place for breakfast in Alma. The ultimate breakfast sandwich and egg sandwiches were fresh and delicious, as were their baked goods (croissant especially). Great coffee and tea selection with soy and almond milk substitutions available. Has a nice patio and free wifi too. All the staff were extremely friendly.

We enjoyed a lovely meal that we devoured!! Still talking about our hamburger and fish burger the next day. The baked goods we picked were delectable, we received a generous portion of chocolate cake. Staff was super friendly

We had a great experience. Food featured local ingredients and was delicious. Service was excellent.

Just Delicious!!
We came in late , about 30min before closure and we were so lucky that we were still able to get something for Dinner.
The best lobster pasta I ever had -honestly. My partner had chicken Alfredo pasta as well as a side homemade Salad and was also very satisfied!
This restaurant in Alma is a real diamond and worth to stop by and grab some fresh and delicious food!

Alma has some of the sweetest little stops, friendly folks and beautiful place

This was simply the best food we have eaten. The shrimp pasta, ribeye, and fresh scallops were amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Wow. What a fantastic place to stop for a bite to eat. The service is always friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious. I travel to Alma weekly for work and will be planning my trips based on the days this place is open. The vegan salad bowl is easily one of the best things I have ever eaten. 12/10 if you're in the area do yourself a favor and check this place out!!

Delicious smoked salmon pasta with a scallop app to start. You can tell the pasta is made fresh and the flavours of everything stood out as complex and layered.
Sitting on the patio allowed the stream in the back to help create a nice audio ambiance.

Stopped here for breakfast. Delicious latte, and lovely fresh breakfast. All local ingredients. They don't own a microwave or deep fryer. Eggs Benedict had chunks of smoked salmon. Service was fantastic. Definitely recommend. Refreshing to eat a non-greasy fresh breakfast.

My wife and I visit Alma every ten years or so. We always comment that there is never any place to eat with fresh foods. It's lobster or fish and chips, and never a leaf of green. Well, that's not true for us any more.
The Octopus's Garden Cafe and Bistro has a wonderful menu of fresh seafood, salads, pastas, and other tasty entrees for dinner. We enjoyed our meal so much we went back the next morning for breakfast which was also delicious. The staff were super friendly. The setting is a bit rustic, but still nice. Definitely recommend if you're looking for an alternative to Alma's tried and true fares.

Had the breakfast sandwich which was tasty though a bit messy, which was fine, and really nice herbed potatoes on the side. Nice back patio too and friendly people.

Excellent food! They were able to accommodate my husband and I with our vegan diet.
The burrito bowl and pasta were both delicious! Great local beer on tap!
Cute back patio with a beautiful river.

We dined at The Octopus’s Garden while visiting Alma a couple of weeks ago. We just chanced upon it. I ordered a pasta special. I’m used to boiling prepackaged pasta. Their pasta was homemade and it was so much nicer! The meat sauce was perfectly seasoned and delicious. It was just a special meal when we didn’t expect it! Their baked goods are also excellent!
