Fredericton’s destination
for elevated comfort food.
Welcome to Pickle Jar
A Little Jar of Our Heart
Pickle Jar started the way all good things do — with tradition, quality ingredients, and people who genuinely love feeding others. Nestled inside the Hilton Garden Inn Fredericton Downtown, we’re here for hotel guests, locals, and anyone who believes comfort food should still feel a little special.
Our kitchen is inspired by family recipes passed down through generations, lovingly polished with our Chef’s expertise and just enough modern flair to keep things interesting. Everything is made from scratch, meant to be shared, and served with a smile. At the centre of it all is pickling — one of the oldest tricks in the kitchen. It’s not just about preservation; it’s about adding depth, balance, and that familiar flavour that feels like home… even if you can’t quite put your finger on why.

Breakfast & Brunch
Mornings are for taking your time. Our breakfast and brunch menu is full of warm plates, fresh baking, and flavours that make getting out of bed worthwhile.

The Pickle Pantry
Take a little Pickle Jar home with you. Our house-made pickles and preserves are crafted with the same care as everything we serve — perfect for gifting or hoarding, we won’t judge.

Beer & Wine List
Because even the best comfort food likes a companion. Our beer and wine menus are curated with balance in mind. Pull up a chair, take a sip, and let the flavours do what they do best.
What’s Cookin’, Good Lookin’?
Every dish at Pickle Jar is made with care, curiosity, and a good pinch of personality. From classic dill to unexpected flavour pairings, our food is designed to feel comforting but never boring. We work in small batches, skip the artificial nonsense, and lean on time-honoured fermentation methods to let ingredients shine.
Our breads are baked fresh — loaves sliced just right for brunch, buns that behave themselves, and English muffins worth waking up for. You’ll also find our house-made marmalade popping up where you least expect it, quietly proving that restraint and ingenuity still have a place at the table. It’s familiar food with a twinkle in its eye.
Who We Are
( and proud of it )
We’re cooks, bakers, brunch lovers, and unapologetic pickle enthusiasts — but above all, we’re people who care deeply about good food and good company. We believe in doing things properly, supporting our community, and serving food with warmth and personality.
Quality matters here. Everything is crafted from scratch, with no shortcuts and no compromises. We’re proud partners of Greener Village and active participants in Downtown Fredericton’s vibrant culture. Our flavours are confident, rooted in tradition, and gently nudged into the present. And our hospitality? That’s delivered with energy, sincerity, and a genuine love for feeding people well.
There’s a whole lot of heart behind every jar, plate, and pickle we serve. If you’d like to know more about how we got here — and the talented chefs behind the scenes — pull back the curtain and come visit our full story.
