So far one of our favourite places is Lobster Pound & Moore. They are always busy, and a reservation is highly recommended. I would say there is pretty much something for everyone on the menu. The salads are fresh and refreshing. Scallops are great, and my favourite is when the chef has the stuffed lobster special on. The fish and chips is outstanding.

The drive to Louisbourg is really nice, and worth it to visit Bistro Phare 756. Excellent brunch, and they will customize to your liking. House-made Lachs, marinated salmon, and in house bakery with lovely sour dough bread, bagels and more. They also have their baked goods available at the Sunday afternoon market.

I have another one for you. A very small business. Was a small business, and after 10 years of trying to get things rolling, the lack of community support has forced a significant downsizing. But fret not!! Your favourite Thyme Savour Take & Bake Frozen white chocolate and blueberry scones, or plain biscuits, and your pets favourite doggy biscuits, Energy bars for your autumn hikes, Ohh enry treats to indulge, and of course Bannock. All can be had for ordering through the Cape Breton Food Hub, or stop in at the Royal Canadian Legion branch 19 On Archibald Street in North Sydney Monday through Saturday 10:00 am to 6:00 PM.
