A quick review of a quick lunch stop. My lobster roll, with lettuce, a few sprouts, and mayo on a…read morebrioche bun, toasted with garlic butter, was decent. (I'm not one of those purists that think a lobster roll should be just lobster meat on a roll; that's boring.) An adequate amount of lobster, mostly large chunks not shreds, but too much mayonnaise. Pretty expensive though at $32 including fries and coleslaw but I've seen worse. Not exactly traditional with lobster roll but I'm on a poutine kick so I upgraded the fries to poutine for an additional $4. I've had better and I've also had worse. The fries, with skins, seemed freshly made in house, the gravy ok, but a bit skimpy on the cheese curds and the pieces were too small. The coleslaw was very good, but why was the portion so skimpy? The wife's chicken sandwich (buttermilk fried chicken thigh, toasted brioche, honey hot drizzle, dill pickle slaw, mayo) was outstanding. I was thrilled to see that an excellent local cider, Rebel Rose from Island Folk in Sydney, was available, so of course I had one of those. Menu is pretty small but in addition to the sandwiches, "pub fare", and a few seafood items there are a small number of entrees (served after 4:00 PM), and some interesting appetizers and desserts. They host occasional music events (Celtic, folk, etc.) so this should be a pleasant place to spend an evening.

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!

L'abri is a very popular fine dining restaurant in the town of Cheticamp, near the famous tourist…read moresites Cape Breton national park. 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.

She gave me time to read the menu, took my order, placed it correctly, and checked back with me. The atmosphere and love music was very nice and enjoyable. Those are the 2 pluses. The food is a different story. I ordered the 5 oz New York steak, which came with mashed potatoes and carrots. The cook on the steak was perfect and the taste was very good, but it had a lot of gristle. I'd say 1/4 of the steak was inedible. The potatoes were pretty tasteless, dry, and needed a lot of salt, but there were plenty of them. There were maybe 5-6 half carrots. They were also pretty flavorless. I'm not Canadian so maybe that is what Canadians prefer: grisly meal and tasteless vegetables.

They are best known for their vodka and coolers but they make dozens of different products. Flavoured vodka soda, gin, cream-based liqueurs along with many other base mixes. The vodka is nothing out of the ordinary but the locals are simple people and the products are great as a mix. Coolers are nothing special but great if you're looking for something light. One of our favourite things here was the 'bar'. Samples are ALL free and they've got everything available to try. If you're sitting in, you can have cocktails made by the bartenders. Order from the menu or check out the rotating weekly cocktails. The service here is a 10+. Staff is incredibly helpful, friendly and on the ball. Be sure to tip them! The one downside of this place and the reason for 4 stars is that the location is NOT accessible. A few stairs will take you up to the bar/retail area as well as washrooms. Merchandise all on the main floor. A bit surprising for a newer location but then again, accessibility is hugely lacking in the majority of this province.
