Dickie Baxter Taproom & Bistro is a well-loved restaurant, in the heart of Canning. We are proud to be considered one of the top dining destinations in the Annapolis Valley, known for creative, seasonal food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Our kitchen is built around a simple philosophy: cook great food, support local producers, and take pride in what leaves the pass. We work closely with local farmers, producers, butchers, and wineries throughout the region, building our menus around fresh, local ingredients whenever possible.

Our team cares deeply about food, about the guest experience, and about supporting one another during busy services. We work hard, we keep standards high, and we believe a respectful, positive kitchen culture is just as important as the food itself.
