It is highly recommend taking an afternoon to walk around the historic district with some historic residences dating back to the late 18th century and the arrival of the British Empire Loyalists. The historic district is located behind the beautiful homes fronting Waterloo Row along the Saint John River.
Other historic and natural attractions around the city include:

Boyce's Farmer's Market, [url=http://www.boycefarmersmarket.com/].] This is the place to be Saturday morning; it is not to be missed! Get there early because by 10:30AM it gets unbearably busy. The market opens at 6:30AM every Saturday. The samosas are very tasty. So much so, people seem to push and shove to get in line for them! The German bakers, fresh orange juice and the sausages are awesome.

Cabin Restaurant, 723 Woodstock Rd past the Delta Hotel, 506-459-0094. This place could define the term greasy spoon restaurant. Great food, great prices! --typical diner, the food is sometimes great, sometimes not so good.
*Sunshine Diner, Woodstock Rd across from the Diplomat. Typical diner fare, with pancakes to die for, at unbeatable prices! Best Breakfast In Town
* Cora's, 476 Queen St, (506) 472-2672, [url=http://www.chezcora.com/Main-en/Franchisage3-en.htm]]Chain restaurant. Busy all the time despite the price. Expect to line up for unexciting and overly large portions of omelettes and crepes with lots of fruit garnish. Okay for ovo-lacto vegetarians, but it would be nice to have some veggie food that does not involve eggs.
* Jack's Pizza & Donairs, 379 King St, (506) 443-9000. Largest slices, pies and donairs in town. Open late.
* Brewbakers, 546 King St, (506) 459-0067, [url=http://www.brewbakers.ca/[/url].]Pricey in the evenings, but a couple of decent vegetarian lunch items (one pizza, one pasta, one sandwich, one appetizer) They serve a mussels in garlic and parmesan sauce which is incredible, as well as a baked brie that, while incredibly small, is very tasty.
* The Blue Canoe A restaurant located at the Irving gas station on the TCH en route to Oromocto. Excellent prices, good value for dollar, hot fresh food. The kind of trucker's stick to your ribs meal you crave. Also a free wireless internet wifi hotspot
* The Blue Door, 100 Regent St, 506 455-2583, [url=http://www.thebluedoor.ca/[/url]] Busy every day and evening of the week. Calling and reserving ahead is always a good idea. Food and service get mixed reviews.
* The Terrace Dining Room at the Lord Beaverbrook Hotel, 659 Queen St, 506 455 3371. A wonderful restaurant in the summertime due in part to its wonderful deck looking out over the river. Friday night usually has a nice prime rib special/buffet. Saturday night is the tour of the world where the chefs of the Lord Beaverbrook Hotel try their skills cooking wonderful dishes from around the world. Worth checking out!
* The Snooty Fox, 66 Regent St, 506 474 1199. Very noisy at peak hours but one of the more decent places to get a simple meal and very good beer without being gouged. The roasted vegetarian sandwich is tasty and there are some other veggie options, especially at lunch.
*Dimitri's, 349 King St, 506.452.8882. Really good Greek food! The prices are very reasonable. Vegetarian moussaka, and of course the usual hummus, salads, etc. Veggie pita is disappointing feta cheese sandwich. Meat dishes are fine though, the soulavki was great and the greek salad was nice.
* Panda Chinese Restaurant, 1216 Regent St (at Prospect, in the City Motel)(506) 455-5050. Fredericton's only authentic Chinese restaurant opened in the summer of 2010, providing an excellent addition to Fredericton's otherwise dismal ethnic food scene. They have a daily Chinese lunch buffet with a small variety of choices (though the quality of the food makes up for it), and at $9 it is one of the cheapest buffets in the city.
* The Palate Restaurant & Cafe [url=http://www.thepalate.com/[/url]]462 Queen Street 506.450.7911. Gets mixed reviews. Often thought to be overpriced and lacking in atmosphere. Avoid the lamb, the sauce is so excessive and overpowering that you may as well have dog meat on your plate for all the taste you get. Other dishes are passable.
*Mexicali Rosa's, 546 King St, 506 451-0686, [url=http://www.mexicalirosas.com/[/url].] The vegetarian fajitas are not particularly authentic, but they are tasty and the veggies are plentiful. Not the worst choice if you are on the road and could really use a meal that incorporates a lot of vegetables. The meat dishes are better. It's the sort of place people go to over and over again for burritos and drinks. Moving to the old Burrito Loco location.
*Luna Pizza, York St, 506.455.4020. Best pizza in Fredericton is not saying much. They are pretty good if you order a whole pie, but the slices can be disappointing (if not fresh). The ceasar salad is great though. The restaurant portion is a nice, decently priced placed for Italian.
*Fadi's Pizza 312 Main St. 454-9888. Good quality and tasty. The fatoush salad is great! Authentic, very garlicky, large portion, and possibly vegan.
*Coffee & Friends, 415 King St, 506.455.4554. Cute little cafe, the owners are the nicest people in all of Fredericton. Delicious paninis and a wide selection of sweets. Fair Trade options, and some of the coffee beans are now roasted on site. In warm weather the front patio is a great place to hang out.
*The Happy Baker, 520 King St, Carleton Pl, 506.454.7200. Lunch only. Their soups are good and there is generally a vegetarian choice. Some of the sandwiches are veggie. Great baked goods!
*Bruno's, 225 Woodstock Rd in the Delta Hotel, 506-451-7935, [url=http://www.deltahotels.com/hotels/hotelinfo.html?categoryId=2&hotelId=207[/url].]Upscale seafood restaurant, Thursday night Prime Rib Buffet, Friday Night Seafood Buffet and Sunday Brunch. Food is bland and overpriced. Outdoor patio "The Dip" in the summer is fantastic.
*The Diplomat, 253 Woodstock Rd (next to the Delta), 506-454-2400. 24-hour family restaurant with breakfast and a Chinese buffet (buffet is very Canadianized and heavy on meat and deep fried items).
*Caribbean Flavas, [http://www.caribbeanflavas.ca/[/url]. Brightly-coloured dining room serving Caribbean food, with very friendly service. Over-priced but some items are good. Some vegetarian options.
*Casual dining in a relaxed atmosphere. Huge summer patio, great service, creative food, and an extensive wine and draught selection. Come early to get a seat as its usually packed!
*Recently opened Cafe offering Capulin coffee espresso drinks, all day breakfast menu (eggs,wraps) lunch menu (paninis,soup&salad,rice dishes,burgers) Daily specials are unique and many use family Italian recipies. All items are made to order or homemade and prepared in our kitchen using fresh ingredients, locally sourced in NB if possible. Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten Free options available. Outdoor seating and free Wi-Fi.

Other listings:
Misu, Brookside Mall (drive around to the back entrance) One of Fredericton's better Chinese Restaurants. They will sometimes make tofu if you ask nicely, they have some, and they are not busy. They have a nasty tendency to slip ground pork into your vegetarian food, so be explicit and vigilant.
* Arom Chinese Cuisine, Downtown, Regent Street. Authentic Chinese Restaurant. The old "Mei's" under new management, but the menu hasn't changed. They make their own tofu and offer a few vegetarian dishes. Many of their meat dishes can be made vegetarian if you ask (like the potstickers). Some feel the food is hardly "authentic Chinese" and the options are limited and pricey. There are, however, many worse restaurants in Fredericton.
* Asian Beef Noodle update as of spring 2007: this restaurant has improved a lot. There is now tasty vegetarian fare available: a respectable pad thai, tofu curry, some noodles. A good addition to the scene.
* Most major fast food chains can be found on Prospect Street on the south side and Main Street on the north side.
* Jack's Restaurant & Bar coming soon! Karaoke on Tuesday nights!
