ABOUT US
To keep things fresh and let our kitchen flex their culinary muscles, we introduce a new feature weekly which is an exciting surprise for new & regular customers alike. Our globally inspired menu is varied and unique, with some locals being regular customers by virtue of our high-quality food.
Our drink menu and six rotating draught taps offer an eclectic mix of local craft beer, inspired cocktails, top shelf spirits and a well-crafted wine list, that are designed to accompany the well-crafted food menu.
From our nearly famous daily “Blue Plate” lunch feature to our equally as near famous, never leaving the menu “Lemon Meringue Salmon”, there is certainly no shortage of reasons to visit. We are the food and beverage destination.

Aaron Fraser
• GENERAL MANAGER
Originally hailing from Chezzetcook, Nova Scotia, Aaron has called Fredericton home since 1995. A red seal chef, armed with over twenty-five years experience, has worked with some of the city’s best kitchen brigades and serving staff. In the spring of 2023, he was given the opportunity to make the leap from the daily “fire and knives” to manage the Palate.
From the Keystone Kelly’s “dish pit” to a Brewbakers’ Sous Chef, Executive Chef at the Garison Ale House (peppered with a couple tours of duty at the infamous Lunar Rouge along the way) to Bella Hospitality’s The Happy Baker. While also serving as Bella Hospitality’s Executive Chef, Aaron brings his depth of experience, positive attitude and more than occasional dad joke, to your favorite or soon to be favorite casual fine dining restaurant.
