Established in 2013, Claudine’s Eatery started as a smaller operation on Fredericton’s Northside, and initially gained local fandom when French TV show Yves et Maks sur la route stopped in for some East Coast eats. The restaurant itself is a mother and daughter run operation which was relocated, and entirely reinvented just last year. When they made the move to Fredericton’s Southside, they gained further notoriety because of their feed-worthy photos; garnering popularity with social media users for their catchy letter boards and signature signage. 

Serving up some of the best comfort food in the city, but more widely known for their wide variety of Eggs Benny dishes and colourful mimosas, Claudine’s quickly became a local hotspot for those who love to brunch.
