The vibrant decor hints at the maritime influence of the region, making it a perfect backdrop for indulging in a feast of the ocean's treasures.

At Ponzi's, the cuisine centers around the freshest seafood available, with highlights including their celebrated lobster rolls, crispy fried clams, and perfectly seared scallops.

Okay... THIS is the place for lobster rolls, fried clams, and fried scallops. I think the scallops were the ultimate hit for me. But, all were perfect! I can't wait to go back! Oh... Best coleslaw I've had in a while. I like it when the vegetables are minced finely.

If you want good, fresh seafood - go to Ponzi's Restaurant. It's some of the best seafood we've ever had - period. Highly recommended!

Had a poutine, fries were cold and I asked for well done because I’ve had cold fries here before so I was hoping they’d refry them…I guess they were busy or something. Sad, cause their poutine is amazing when they make an effort.

Really enjoyed my meal here. The lobster roll was fresh and full of flavor, and the seafood poutine was amazing. Friendly staff and a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

First time visiting in this town of Bouctouche and when it came time to eat both Pat, my lovely wife, and I decided on this place for our seafood selection. We went up to their front display/ordering counter upon entering. I immediately ordered the fish and chips. Pat needed to study their menu boards a bit. We were lucky to have hit this place just before the dinner rush started. Pat decided upon the scallop platter. We topped it off with their diet cola which we split between us. I was thoroughly satisfied with their fresh fish. Pure white, nice and flaky, good crunch on the batter, large portions and very tasty. Fries were also a delight. My only "complaint" was that we received far too many fries between the two of us. Next time we'll only order one set of fries to split between us and save a little money. As it was, Pat decided to take the fries home and heat them up later for a snack. It seemed a lot of people ordered take out. Guessing it may still be a COVID thing but Pat and I enjoyed eating inside. Had it been a bit warmer we'd have been even happier eating on their front deck. A very friendly lady was working on taking orders and handling the till. Another lady, who brought our meal to the table, was also friendly and very outgoing. This place is a great treasure and in a convenient location relative to the neighbouring expressway, for those just traveling through. A major gas station is just across the road. Look forward to returning some day soon.

Got to take home 3x whole cooked lobster and had an amazing surf and turf feast when we got home! Never had a steak and lobster dinner at such an affordable price!
