My friend and I walked 16 miles all over the island, so by the time we got back to town, we were…read morestarving and thirsty and in desperate need of rest and sustenance. La Patio was really the first viable option we saw, and even though it was not quite dinner time, we decided to eat there. They had a pretty decent beer selection and it was the tastiest, most refreshing beer I have ever had, and our waitress kept the water glasses full. The menu had a lot of variety, but I went with a mini cheese pizza. When it arrived it had a lot of sauce and unusual cheese on it (I think it was cheddar), but it was the right size and right price and it tasted pretty good. I don't speak French and the waitress didn't speak much English, but she was very nice and tried very hard to understand me. In a town this size there aren't many restaurant options, but if you eat here you won't be disappointed.

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!

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.
