Most Popular Canadian food in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada
Reviews on Canadian food in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. "For simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all." So said Alexander Graham Bell of the island he adopted as his home. Rich with Celtic, Mi'kmaq and Acadian heritage, Cape Breton is a delight for history buffs, music lovers and explorers of nature. Immerse yourself in 18th-century life at the Fortress of Louisbourg, explore the winding roads and Atlantic vistas of the Cabot Trail, and seek out a local Ceilidh for a lively and rousing experience.

Rated in TA as #5! There really can't be four better eating experiences to be had in the Baddeck area or almost certainly the whole of Nova Scotia.We were on the wait list, having tried to book almost 2 months ahead, and fortunate enough to pick up a late cancellation. Other reviewers have explained the detail so suffice to say that the 4 amuse bouche, 5 course, set tasting menu was truly exceptional. The setting is charming, the service and chef welcoming and the whole experience memorable.Book (very) early to avoid disappointment!

Relaxed diner, family friendly dining with hearty home cooked meals.

We came here when the International Celtic Music Festival was in progress so we had a very long wait to get inside -- 45 minutes long. The good news is that the Seafood Chowder was worth it. Best chowder, hands down, I've ever had!

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.

On Monday August 19th, 2019, my wife and I had dinner at the Freight Shed a waterside bistro situated at 2 Jones Street in Baddeck, Cape Breton Island. This very casual and open concept bistro is located at the marina and boardwalk where you can sit by the waterfront, and watch yachts and sail boats anchored in Bras dâOr Lake. We sat at the table close to the rolling doors and window, so it was a little windy and cool that evening. As an appetizer, we had the plate of APP Steamed Mussels served with bread rolls and slices of lemon. After this my wife chose the Ruben Sandwich, a smoked meat sandwich with a fresh side salad, while I opted for the Shed Burger also with a fresh side salad. Both of our plates and appetizer were delicious, the portions were generous and tasty, and the prices for beer and sauvignon blanc were reasonable.The bistro was very busy that evening, but we did get served quickly enough by Jason our friendly server. Even though it was a little pricy due to the location, we enjoyed the delicious food and would rate our dinner as five stars.
