Gorgeous menu…read more Very nice plates, cookes at the right manner...Very tasty... Recommand to all to have a dinner at this restaurant; I suggest that all parties picks a different entree, main plate, and desert.... Our nicest dinner experience on the Island....

Looked like a good place right on the water and became crowed very quickly so I concluded this…read morewould be a good meal. Beware! I ordered the lobster dinner although price was shown as $$$. I did not ask for actual pricing but thought it must be very special. Instead I was served a lobster that was likely not even one pound with very little meat in the tail. I got a large serving of fries and a tiny cup of slaw. Dessert was a very good cake and included. When I finished, the server asked how was the meal. I said the lobster was small. She laughed and stated "they just grab them out of the tank so you never know." Surprise! I was stunned to be presented with a bill for $96 CanadIan! I had only water for my beverage. I don't believe this is an isolated occurrence as the cashier also seemed aware of this issue and would not meet my gaze and just nodded when I complained.

4 of us went for dinner. The staff were great, the food,,, not so much! Dry scallops and lobster-…read moreover cooked! Not worth the price- sorry

Make a reservation during summer…read more L'abri brings shelter from the ordinary seafood cuisine. The menu entailed a good selection of seafood and a solid vegetarian/vegan quinoa bowl. I like spice but I got it on the side as the server warned people had indicated it was too spicy. The cocktails and dessert looked amazing. Ambiance is abrilliant. There was outside seating overlooking the water. Inside was nice.

L'abri was one of our favorite stops while exploring Cape Breton Island. We came for lunch before…read morehiking the Skyline Trail, and I'm so glad we did lunch instead of dinner because the daytime views overlooking the water were absolutely stunning. It was one of those places where you finish your meal and don't even want to leave. Our server, Teryl, was so much fun to talk to. She was friendly, attentive, and gave us some great recommendations. We ended up ordering the Crab & Lobster Roll with the truffle and Parmesan fry upgrade, the Large Summer Salad, Tuna Tartare, and the Seafood Linguine. Teryl highly recommended the Seafood Linguine, and we're so glad we listened because it ended up being my favorite dish of the meal. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The only thing that caught me off guard was the Tuna Tartare being served with corn chips. They weren't bad by any means, but I was expecting something a little more elevated to match the presentation and quality of the tartare itself. Between the incredible waterfront views, delicious food, and Teryl's wonderful service, L'abri was a highlight of our time in Cape Breton. If you're driving the Cabot Trail or heading to Skyline Trail, I'd absolutely recommend making this one of your stops. Just do yourself a favor and go for lunch so you can soak in those beautiful views!

Food was very good, waitress TRINA was on her game! Ambiance lovely! I recommend swinging in after…read morethe Sky view hike!

Cute spot with a nice view but the service was slow and food subpar. Very few gluten free options…read more These included a Cajun chicken or Cajun shrimp dish only, which was comprised of plain rice, clear spicy red sauce, and the meat/fish (Cajun shrimp pictured minus the shrimp). There were no options for a dish that was both gluten free and vegetarian. My two friends both ordered the burger platters which were also underwhelming. We were grateful to have a warm meal from the only restaurant open in town, but would certainly explore other options in the future.
