It was our last day in Toronto and we decided to take the long ride from our hotel by the airport into town for one last shot at what could be the best plate of nachos in Canada. I wasn't ready to say that the Beertown nachos were the best on our trip or that the Snooty Fox in Fredericton were the best in Canada. I was ready to have my mind blown and when it's your last day in a big city, you have to make it count. I wanted these nachos to be on my mind while we are trying to land in foggy Saint John and then rushing to work immediately after landing with my ears still plugged up from the plane. Plus, who knows when we will be in Toronto again? It's between Toronto or Quebec City for our fall marathon next year. They are doing a battle in my mind. We went to Squirly's because the editor did some research and saw that Squirly's might be good. This restaurant had previously closed their doors after 36 years and recently re-opened to be Squirly's 2.0. How were t...
Salt Bight Restaurant & Bar is located in downtown St. Andrews, New Brunswick. It has a nice patio with a great view and it's the perfect place to go on a beautiful day, especially after running an 8km race. We actually had these nachos the day before the race (yay carb loading!) and we loved it so much we went back again after the race.

| Salt Bight Nachos - June 2025 |
Distribution of Toppings
There was a lot of cheese to go with these nachos. The distribution of toppings was perfect with a mouthful of cheese and chips in every bite.
Quality
There was a lot of banana peppers on the nachos which really popped out and overpowered the other flavors. There was a lot of cream on top which normally I like to have on the side to dip, which helps avoid soggy nachos. However, these nachos were not soggy, so not a problem! There was a lot of salsa on the side for dipping. The toast factor was on point and all the cheese was melted. The overall taste was great as well. I really appreciate a good cheesy nacho.
Quantity
This was sufficient to share for supper, although the editor did order some unlimited french fries afterwards!
Service
The bartenders were funny and talked to us a lot even though they were busy and one of them was working a double shift!
Value
The Salt Bight Nachos are $18. If you add beef it is $5 extra, chicken $9 extra, guacamole $2.50 extra and an additional sour cream $2.50 extra. I think the value is fair considering the whole nacho experience.
Conclusion
I think we'll go back to St. Andrews soon and have these again, and take better pictures! I think the main thing I would change is to have fewer banana peppers and have the sour cream on the side. Otherwise, they were a very tasty and solid plate of nachos.
