Gourmet Dishes With Local Ingredients
Lupin Dining & Pantry is a farm-to-table restaurant and preserve line rooted in Musquodoboit Harbour, Nova Scotia. Led by Chef Kim MacPherson, Lupin brings together terroir-driven dining and small-batch pantry products inspired by the seasons, the garden, and the surrounding coastal landscape. At the restaurant, guests experience thoughtful cuisine shaped by the growing season and sourced from trusted local farmers, fishermen, and producers.
In the pantry, that same philosophy carries through in a curated collection of preserves and specialty goods crafted with care. Together, Lupin Dining & Pantry reflects a deep connection to place, seasonality, and the rich flavours of Nova Scotia.
Meet Chef Kim
Raised on a farm in Ontario, Chef Kim developed an early connection to seasonal ingredients and a love of growing food. She built her culinary career in acclaimed kitchens across Canada, refining her passion for gourmet, terroir-driven cuisine. After meeting her husband, Mark, on the West Coast, they settled in Musquodoboit Harbour in 2015, where they now raise their two boys and bring Kim’s vision to life through Lupin Dining & Pantry.
From Garden to Shelf
At Lupin Dining & Pantry, our ingredients begin with the seasons. We grow herbs, flowers, berries, and vegetables in our garden just steps from the kitchen, harvesting at peak freshness to shape our menu and pantry products. What we do not grow ourselves, we source from trusted local farmers, fishermen, and producers across Nova Scotia.
