Good down-home food diner-style; and a spirited conversation with the proprietor alone was worth the visit.

We were in Louisbourg over the Thanksgiving weekend. Imagine our surprise to discover that 99% of the restaurants in Louisbourg close on the Saturday until next spring. Our choice was drive to Sydney or go to the only remaining open restaurant Jake's. we chose Jake's and were pleasantly surprised. I had the strip loin steak which was cooked perfectly with great fries and my wife had a seafood Caesar salad which was fresh and tasty. Service was fast and friendly and the cost was quite reasonable. Give Jake's a try you won't go wrong.

Seems this cafe is still a work in progress but must give it credit. Has a small menu but the brunch is great. Open concept for just coffee, or a sit down at a table area allows satisfaction. Coffee is wonderful. "Salt Spring" from BC. Had steak and eggs, and though some work on the steak might be in order, the meal was very good. Needs some practice in the ordering department, and that will come with the enthusiasm shown. Must drop in again.
5. Grandchamps Restaurant

We ate at Grandchamps for lunch. There are only two restaurants inside the Louisbourg Fortress and this one is for the "lower class" citizens. We decided to eat here because the "upper class" restaurant does not serve a vegetarian option. We were welcomed at the door and seated at a large table with another couple. There are no individual tables for 2-4 people. I am assuming that during this time period, this is how restaurants worked. We were each provided a spoon and an extremely large fabric napkin the size of a flag or pillowcase. The basics are served here... soups, bread, cheeses, fish, mussels and of course, beer. The food was good, the beer was excellent and the experience was very worthwhile. Our server seemed new on the job, but was friendly and attentive. The price was also reasonable considering where we were and the experience we were provided.

We stopped in after visiting the Louisbourg Fortress and was not disappointed. There was only one waitress, but she was the best and kept up with everything and everybody. The outside of this place isn't much to look at, but after we stopped in we were glad we did. We had seafood the night before so my wife had there turkey dinner and I had lasagna. Both were great. I can not say enough about how great the waitress was, she made our evening.

What a disaster. First impression made me want to leave as the whole place felt completely austere. Okay, actually, my first impression was hopeful as the setting is ideal. Inside, as I said, austere. Was this an attempt at NYC chic? Crappy little paper napkins on the table, like from out of one of those metal holders with cheap, plain cutlery. Prices for lobster, exorbitant. Okay, it's a tourist trap, if the food is great, no big deal. It was explained that risotto came with a whole lobster, so why bother cracking my own. However, lobster so salty as to be inedible, so small as to be guaranteed a canner, probably frozen and reheated. Risotto was boring and plain with a few peas thrown in and this mini, salty tail and claw and a half on top. For $50 this was a total rip off. My friend had the haddock, with nasty, chunky potatoes (not mashed as per description) and coarsely breaded haddock. Cold veggies and certainly inadequate for the price. We did tell our server we were unhappy and then never saw anyone again. No one cared, no one asked, no one got a tip. My tip? Do not bother. Oh yes, after enquiring extensively about gluten free, the risotto plate came with a big bun on it. Thankfully on a charger plate. Hello!

We dropped in for a coffee after a visit to Louisbourg Fort. They were suffering a power-cut (residual work following hurricane damage) but still boiled some water for coffee and provided cake. Both tasty enough in the circumstances.Friendly staff and still made to feel welcome despite the circumstances.

The food is simple but plentiful and fresh fish and seafood is top notch. Lots of fun listening to both professional and amateur singers, and really fun conclusion to the evening. Great photo ops once diners are in Acadian costume. Staff are friendly, well organized and helpful. Thank you for the great review. We are so glad you chose to join us at the Beggars Banquet for a great night of food, fun and entertainment. The seafood is always a great choice and plenty of other food options on the all you can eat buffet. We do hope you will visit us again soon.
