There are countless ways to savor the flavors of Yarmouth & Acadian Shores during Congrès mondial acadien 2024!

Of course, you have an Acadian classic - Rappie Pie, or râpure in French. It’s unique to the region, made from a delicious mix of potatoes and chicken. You can find this at many restaurants in the area!

Creamed lobster is another can't miss dish. Created over 50 years ago by Clara Harris, a local restaurant owner, it caught on quite quickly, and can now be enjoyed at many restaurants throughout Yarmouth & Acadian Shores.

Looking for something sweet? The Acadian themed cheesecake at Red Cap Restaurant & Motel will fill that cravings perfectly.

Put a local twist on poutine by trying the lobster poutine roll at Honey Bees Restaurant! Just one of their wide variety of menu items.

Head to www.yarmouthandacadianshores.com to find many more options on what to indulge in during CMA 2024. Bon appétit!
