BEER & LOBSTER ENOUGH SAID

Located in the beautiful and active lobster fishing community of West Dover, Shaw’s offers authentic Maritime food in a casual oceanfront atmosphere.

Shaw’s Landing has a long and storied history within our quaint community. Originally built in 1970’s, the building has hosted a variety of businesses; a general store, post office, card room, take-out and lastly a full service restaurant. Our founding name comes from Mr. Ian Shaw, who originally came to Nova Scotia after tragically losing his daughter in 1998 when Swiss Air Flight 111 went down off the coast of Peggy’s Cove. Mr Shaw stayed in our community for a number of years running Shaw’s Landing as a full service restaurant until he retired with his wife in Spain.

The current owners, Karen and Rob have owned Shaw’s for eight years. They started off with zero restaurant experience but with the amazing support of our community and the help of incredible and knowledgeable staff (Thanks Siss’s, Alice, Debbie, Carol, Makayla, Tia, Kiley, Sara) Shaw’s continues to thrive. Eight years later, a wedding and three babies, Shaw’s continues to thrive and prides itself on being a small, locally-owned, family restaurant that sources local products and serves fresh authentic East Coast meals, and of course lots of beer and lobster!
