St. Andrews By-the-Sea Dinner Menu

This 1951 menu advertises the New Brunswick golf course and, indirectly, Canadian Pacific’s Algonquin resort. The back of the menu says that the Algonquin sported an 18-hole golf course plus a 9-hole course, but only the 18-hole course survives today.

Although the menu was used on a Mountaineer dining car, it is of a format we haven’t seen before, with a horizontal fold and magenta and cyan strips on the right border of the cover. The menu itself offers table d’hôte meals featuring halibut, prime ribs, lamb chops, or chicken and potato salad for $2.50 (about US$24.50 today) or lighter meals (no soup or salad) with salmon, an omelet, or creamed chicken and ham on toast for $1.50 (a little under US$15 today).
