Recipes travel.
Families do too.
German and Central European comfort food from a Latvian family kitchen — generous plates, house-made desserts, German beer, and a dining room that doubles as a gallery.
Central Europe,
served with a Nova Scotia welcome.
7:40 is family-run by the Dain family from Latvia. The menu draws on recipes and culinary traditions gathered across generations in Poland, Czechia, Germany, Ukraine, Russia and Latvia — then brought to Hammonds Plains.

Königsberger
Pork Hock
Slow-cooked until tender, then roasted for a crisp exterior. Served with house-made mashed potatoes, braised sauerkraut, Dijon mustard and gravy.
A family recipe book with a passport.
The food is not built around a theme. It comes from movement, memory and the places a family once called home.
Central Europe
Recipes begin as family knowledge, shaped by the region and the people cooking them.
Many homes
Poland, Czechia, Germany, Ukraine and Russia all become part of the family’s culinary story.
Latvia
The family’s later home — and the place their present-day restaurant story is rooted in.
Nova Scotia
Those memories arrive in Hammonds Plains as schnitzel, pork hock, cakes and hospitality.
Comfort food that still feels like an occasion.
Schnitzel
From Chef Leon's signature pork schnitzel to Jägerschnitzel and chicken classics.
German & Austrian pours
Erdinger, Stiegl and Veltins beside wine, cocktails, coffee and house-made drinks.
Generous by design
Large plates, scratch-made sauces and sides, prepared individually for freshness.
A gallery
you can take
home.
The restaurant walls feature limited-edition canvas works by Latvian photographer Valdis Seržans. The dining room becomes part restaurant, part small European gallery — and selected works are available to purchase.
