Le Griffon
Four-star B&B · 426 Main Street, Shediac
“In our country, there’s only one day at a time.”
Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass
An 1896 Italianate villa on Shediac’s Main Street. Five rooms, each with its own private bathroom. A grand staircase, a parlour of antiques, a screened veranda, and trees some 130 years old.
It’s also the front door to the Wonderland: breakfast at our chocolaterie across the street, supper at our bistro, a double feature at our drive-in by the beach. Here, you may well believe six impossible things before breakfast.
The house
The woodwork has had a century to settle. The parlour is quiet, the guest kitchen is yours, and the veranda is made for a late-afternoon drink.
The rooms
L’Émerveille, La Quadrille, L’Échiquier, La Cheshire, and Les Tweedles. Premium queen beds (a king in Les Tweedles), air conditioning, TV, and Wi-Fi.
Breakfast
Taken across the street at Adorable Chocolat, our chocolaterie and café, from 7:30am. It’s included in your stay. The chocolates are at your own risk.
Evenings
Le Moque-Tortue, our bistro, is seven doors down: lobster, oysters, mussels, cocktails, and one of Canada’s largest board game collections.
A day in the Wonderland
Everything is a short walk or a short drive from your room. Some of it is seasonal; the Wonderland page has the details.
- Morning
- Breakfast across the street at Adorable Chocolat, from 7:30am. A second espresso is never a mistake.
- Late morning
- Parlee Beach, five minutes by car: warm salt water, a Blue Flag beach, and a mat that runs to the water’s edge for walkers and wheelchairs.
- Lunch
- Morse et Marteaux: brisket smoked at least sixteen hours over maple, at Smith & Main next to Adorable, or at the East Canteen on Parlee Beach in summer.
- Afternoon
- The Witzend kiosk at the Homarus Centre, beside the Giant Lobster. It books the best of Shediac, ours and everyone else’s.
- Supper
- Le Moque-Tortue, seven doors down: lobster, oysters, and a board game for dessert.
- Dusk
- The Neptune Drive-In, May to October: a double feature under the stars, sound on 92.7 FM.
