The Octopus' Garden Cafe

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 are on vacation in the Maritime and were recommended to try this place. We had a $29 lobster sandwich that came in a basic 1/2 baguette that tasted stale and it had some lobster coated in mayo (with next to no seasoning and it came with a very small salad). We also had a scallop boy for $20 that came with a handful of kettle chips. Given the prices for these items we were looking forward to some gourmet sandwiches that were going to taste incredible and fresh. We’ve enjoyed a lot of great food during this trip; but this place by far had the worst food. The lobster sandwich was less than basic. The scallop boy was okay. Basic sandwiches for premium prices. Maybe it gets better during peak travel season but the food here was an epic fail. Regretted eating here. Also, they don’t serve any octopus here. Not sure how they get away with the prices they charge. There are plenty of options next door to this place to have fresh delicious seafood.

Not sure the reason behind this fine restaurant's name but we did enjoy our experience within (both my wife and I). Enjoyed our individual meals and will most definitely be back. It was too cool for sitting on their outside patio but look forward to enjoying that area come warmer weather and time away from our home location. We both enjoyed looking at the many pieces of artwork masterfully placed upon the restaurant walls and counters. It was also nice seeing their prices posted so that the price of buying one of the artwork pieces was not a mystery. We enjoyed conversing with our wonderful waitress. It was a pleasure realizing she lives within the restaurants location and enjoys where she lives and works. The little town of Alma, N.B. is a true Canadian treasure.

Octopus garden is amazing!!! The food is incredible and the service is very friendly and attentive. By far the best homemade pasta I have ever had. I ordered the lobster pasta (it must have had a whole lobster in it) and my husband had the spicy pasta (perfect amount of spice), both were phenomenal. Our meals came with fresh salads and bread, the portions were perfect. We’re visiting from Ottawa and consider ourselves to be “foodies”, hard to impress when it comes to food… but WE ARE IMPRESSED. We will 100% be back. Everything was incredible. Thank you Octopus garden!!! See you soon.

We had a reservation in advance as we were going to be in Fundy National Park for the weekend and heard that they have amazing homemade pasta. When we arrived we were informed that they didn't have any pasta. There wasn't anything else on the menu that we had interest in as we had our bellies set on Fresh Homemade Pasta. We weren't the only ones in the restaurant that were disappointed. We decided to leave an go to another restaurant as the also no longer had vegan options on the menu.
