Set against a bright maritime sky, Harris’ Seafood Restaurant and Starboard Lounge welcomes diners with its flower-boxed windows, wooden shingles, and cheerful red lobster signage. Inside, nautical décor and neatly set tables invite guests into a nostalgic dining room that echoes with the clinking of cutlery and warm Nova Scotian chatter.

Located just north of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Harris’ was opened by Clara and Charlie Harris in 1951, becoming a popular stop along the province’s coastal route. Known for its famous cuisine and generous salad bar, the establishment gained a loyal following among locals and summer travellers alike. Published by Alex Wilson Publications Ltd. and featuring photography by S. Bain, the postcard is a classic piece of Canadian roadside and culinary heritage.

This card is a heartwarming tribute to a vanished era of independent eateries and family-run hospitality. A delightful addition for collectors of Canadian ephemera, diner nostalgia, or mid-century tourism, it preserves not just a place, but a spirit of welcome that endures in memory.
