Our Food Philosophy
From a cuisine standpoint, we trust that introducing you to the amazing seafood that is found naturally in our region is the most honest introduction to Cape Breton’s cuisine. Simple, fresh and healthy ingredients provide flavours that are more harnessed by our talented Chefs rather that controlled. Commitment to your culinary experience is infused into every meal then complimented by the stunning natural environment.
Before you join us in the dining room for your meal, arrange your guided tour of the Lobster Pound situated below the restaurant to truly connect to this amazing Island and learn the process and history of bringing in the ‘catch’.
