45th Parallel Motel & Restaurant

We went over to Deer Island and on our way back, the line to get on the ferry was very long, and they only had one ferry running. We wouldn't have gotten back on the mainland until closer to midnight, so we decided to book a room for the night. The lady who answered was very accommodating, even though they were getting ready to close. Our room was clean, but would have been nice to have a radio or TV (our phones all died and we didn't have chargers, so it was a quiet) I also found it very hot, no air conditioner, but even a fan would have been nice. No big deal, just a suggestion to the owners. 😉 The price was right, and it even came with a complimentary breakfast! The lady who served us was super sweet, and they were the best pancakes ever! I would definitely stay here again. Thank yo

I had a great experience at 45th Parallel Restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome. Their friendly, attentive service added a warm and personal touch to the entire visit. The food was excellent, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It's the kind of menu that offers something for everyone, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared. What stood out just as much as the food was the atmosphere. It’s a perfect spot to relax and have a good conversation, especially with locals who bring even more character to the place. Don’t skip the homemade desserts, they’re the perfect way to end your meal. You can tell they put just as much heart into the sweets as the main dishes. Looking forward to my next visit already. Highly recommended!

The food was delicious! Portions were filling scallops were massive and they were able to accommodate gluten free battered fish! Service was very friendly and helpful with local places to visit at this quaint little restaurant.

We drive all the way from Michigan out to Maine to vacation. While we were there we took the ferry over to Deer Island and happened upon this amazing little restaurant. It was the best food we had during our entire drive out and during our stay. Highly recommend! The seafood and coleslaw are absolutely delicious.

When I asked the owner of the 45th Parallel if the fish was as fresh as a roadside daisy, she told me I couldn't get fresher fish anywhere. From from the ferry off Campobello Island onto Deer Island, I was ready to take the $16.95 lunch special splurge—1 piece of haddock, a cup of haddock chowder, cole slaw. Now I've had plenty of fried haddock that completely failed. Thick batter. Caked on mush on the fish. This fish compared only with another meal I had almost twenty-five years ago, also in northern Canada. Mmmmm is all I can say. Delish is all I can say. Ahhhh is all I can say. Light and fluffy, fall apart fish. The secret? A 75 year old recipe that comes only with ownership of the 45th Parallel, an amazing roadside joint whose signs you can follow along the road directly to the sunny p
