Experiences

  • Discovery Menu

    CA$195.00 per person

    Multiple dates available
    The Discovery Menu offers an intimate, front-row experience at the Galley, the space where kitchen and dining room converge, blurring the line between preparation and presentation. Each evening, a limited number of guests are seated within the rhythm of the kitchen itself to experience an eight-course tasting created in real time. Ingredients, techniques, and inspiration shift nightly, as the team responds to the season and to the moment. Availability is limited each night. The Discovery Menu allows for limited accommodation due to its seasonal, in-the-moment nature. All other menus can be adapted for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs.

  • Signature Menus

    CA$175.00 per person

    Multiple dates available
    At Mystic, we offer two signature tasting menus, Fauna + Biota, designed to take you on a guided journey through land and sea. Each eight-course progression reflects a dialogue between land and sea, inspired by Nova Scotia’s evolving landscape and ingredients. Through refined technique and creative interpretation, familiar elements are transformed into something entirely new. Menus change with the seasons, shaped by what the region offers at its peak. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options are available.

  • Short Form Menu

    CA$120.00 per person

    Multiple dates available
    A new way to experience Mystic, The Short Form Menu is a four-course tasting offered during our early and late seating each evening. For those seeking a condensed version of the Mystic experience, the Short Form Menu offers four courses that begins with a series of snacks, followed by mains and dessert. Drawing inspiration from our other menus, this experience captures the essence of Mystic in a shorter format, with select choices available throughout the progression. This menu is offered in very limited capacity daily.

    Truly exceptional and original dining experience. All the staff are very knowledgeable about the composition of each dish and the origin of the ingredients. You can tell that a lot of time and care has been put into the design of each dish, and I appreciated the focus on local ingredients and producers. An unforgettable meal!

    Interesting, varied, and delicious tasting menu in a beautiful locale. The team of attentive staff made a point of knowing our names and preferences and ensured the meal was well paced. I have paid much more for much less elsewhere. Will happily return.

    By far some of the best service I’ve had in NS, but a few of the dishes fell short - and at this price I would expect them all to hit. The lamb, however, was perfect.

    Truly spectacular location (though hard to find after dark). Amazing variety, beautiful presentation, unexpected taste experiences. Wine pairings were mostly excellent and from a worldwide cellar. Bone marrow fudge was the absolute highlight.

    The three tasting menu options are great but could be paired better as one menu didn’t coordinate well with the others. Some menu items were complex but others felt flat. Beautiful ambience. Looking forward to some opening issues being worked out.

    This place could be so much more , sorry ; it is a mediocre experience, food is average, and the experience is only remarkable for its price. Compared to any other restaurant in a similar price range it can’t compare. It’s like remedial reading for the misinformed. One thing that could change immediately is the elevator music. It’s a great idea, but it wont last if there is nothing to remember.

    Fantastic experience. Unique and exciting dishes, very thoughtful service and cool atmosphere. Very expensive, but you aren't getting an evening like at mystic anywhere else in the maritimes.
