So here I am, and best way to adventure on the island is, of course, tasting all the local culinary delights. After good recommendations from the locals, we chose this restaurant and came in on a Saturday evening in mid August - which seems to be their busiest season. Luckily we had booked our table days prior. Domaine du Vieux Couvent Is a medium class restaurant and working hard to become a classy one. We arrived at 5.35pm and the last main dish was served at 7.40pm. (Nice features on phone to capture exact location and time of every picture you take). So be prepared for a long wait, and I guess that's why they serve bread and butter when they hand out the menu. Luckily for us, we had ordered wine and were in good company. BTW, we poured our own wine, as the waiter was too busy. As we did so, we spilled some drops on the table. Not a big deal, as we just swiped them away with our napkins - hence the reason why there isn't any table cloth. (I think). We ordered mainly seafood and they were all delicious, especially the mussels. The sauce was well prepared, rich with flavours. Perhaps, not the kind of food if you were on a restricted diet. Pricey for what we ordered, but fortunately we were invited and were guests at the table.

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!

I've tried both dining in and takeout at this restaurant during a trip to the Maritime and this is my favorite restaurant of the trip. My tip is to make reservation in advance, they could get packed easily. The restaurant has a bright setting and is located next to the Ocean. Service here is attentive. Our waitress was proactively providing us sharing plates and utensils and kept us notified on the food order status without us asking. Every single dish here was also delicious. Expect $80-$100 per person for dinner. The dishes we've tried include: - Scallop crudo: very fresh and refreshing. Everyone in the group loves it. - Seafood chowder: Flavouring and ingredients are both decent. - Lobster roll with summer salad: One of our favorite dishes. Fresh and sweet lobster mingled really well with the refreshing salad with sweet strawberries and walnuts. - Lobster dinner with steak: decent portion and premium cut of the steak. - Grilled salmon: Not bad but not wowing. - Seafood linguine: Very decent portion of seafood and very flavourful. - Chocolate raspberry cake and creme brulee: Classy way of cooking. Old school but very delicious. Overall, this is a perfect place if you are looking for something nice to eat to enjoy your relaxing vacation.
