"The Best Restaurant in the Maritimes!"  Lifestyle Maritimes Magazine - September 2007 

"One of Canada's Healthiest Restaurants"  Best Health Magazine - September 2009


From around the world to the heart of the Annapolis Valley - evocative of faraway places and fond memories, glorious meals and great companions. To challenge your senses. Tempest was created to be a refuge from the storm - a haven to indulge in earthly pleasures.

Carefully selected wines from our province and all corners of the globe. Ingredients sourced locally and presented with artistic flair in an environment designed to complement the dining experience. Sustainable choices. Personal relationships with suppliers and producers.  This is Tempest.

"...There's nothing ill can dwell in such a temple: Good things will strive to dwell within it..."    
Shakespeare, The Tempest

We welcome you to join us in beautiful Wolfville, NS for lunch and dinner. We are less than one hour from Metro Halifax.  Whether in our contemporary  dining room or under the elms on our quiet patio, far from the madding crowd. Chef Michael Howell and Mary Harwell look forward to seeing you soon.

““Nothing like the Tempest has ever been seen before in the Annapolis Valley. The proprietor, Michael Howell, has worked in Chicago, New York, Detroit, Boston, Toronto and the Bahamas. To him presentation is everything. His menu is fantastic, leaping from cuisine to cuisine – Thai, Indian, Chilean, Cuban, Greek, French and Italian…. Superb!”
