Diplomat Restaurant: "Delicious Chinese food" Top 5 Page for this destination Province of New Brunswick Restaurant Tip by Bwana_Brown

While in Fredericton, one of your best bets for a great meal is the Diplomat restaurant. This restaurant was built on the site of the former Diplomat Motel after this prime riverfront area was bought by the Sheraton chain of hotels. As a condition of building the new Sheraton on the property, the owners of the old Motel were allowed to build a new 'Diplomat Restaurant' on their former location. The Sheraton recently changed ownership and is now a Delta Hotel, the finest in Fredericton and all of New Brunswick in my opinion.

Favorite Dish: Although the Diplomat serves all the traditional 'western' types of meals, its speciality is a Chinese buffet, or individual Chinese meals. While my wife's sister was visiting from England, we headed there one night to sample their fare. I was surprised to see that they had completely re-done the interior with very well appointed individual booths with glass dividers. I really enjoyed the Chinese buffet with its many choices, including spare ribs and dessert (US$15) while the ladies settled for individual 'Half-Meals' of Szechuan Seafood and Scallops Singapore (US$10 each). We all raved about how much we enjoyed all the dishes! With a Moosehead beer for me and two glasses of wine, the bill came to US$57 for the three of us (including tip and taxes). We left well satisfied!
