Our Story:
In 2001, husband and wife team Bruce and Sherifa Clarke moved to Havre de Grace sharing their love of the small town, kayaking the waters of the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay and their vision of the connection between food and community. Their dream of Laurrapin became a reality bringing together locals and non-residents alike to celebrate the bounty of Harford County, Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay region.
Led by Executive Chef and Owner, Bruce Clarke, the kitchen interprets the bounty of the surrounding area, exploring an ingredient-driven cuisine and rediscovery of heirloom products and small family farming.
Our focus is not only serving the community, but also purchasing from the community. Spending local and supporting small, like-minded businesses is part of the Laurrapin ethos.
