EAT GOOD,
DO GOOD

The Canteen is a casual New England eatery that uses high-quality ingredients to create Cape Cod favorites from scratch. Our menu and style of service is rooted in the tradition of classic seafood shacks, but influenced by modern American cuisine. 

Every Bite Has an Impact

Our hot and cold lobster rolls start with fresh, whole, local lobsters shucked by hand every day. Our raw bar features local shellfish, including oysters from Provincetown grown just feet away from us.

The founders

The Canteen was started by Rob Anderson and Loic Rossignon.

​

While working as a journalist for outlets like The New Republic and the Boston Globe’s editorial page, Rob was repeatedly urged by his closest friends to give up journalism for cooking. (Because they appreciated his food, not because they hated his writing -- or so they said.) A graduate of Georgetown University, Columbia University, and the International Culinary Center in New York, Rob credits his upbringing in the Midwest with instilling in him the belief that food and community are inextricably linked. You can find out more about Rob here.

 

Dubbed the “Swiss Army knife” while attending banking school in France, Loic is known for saying “Yes” first and “Let’s figure out how to make it happen” second. Hailing from a town of less than 100 people in the northeastern part of France, Loic has been a Provincetown resident for over 23 years. And like many Provincetown residents, Loic has done it all, working in real estate, guest houses, and restaurants, building Carnival parade floats, owning a catering company, and volunteering on community boards. He is a graduate of the International Culinary Center's Restaurant Management program.
