    Stunning Cheticamp, Cape Breton view of the sea waves crashing on the shore while dining in the main room. The restaurant featured a diverse menu and wine selection prepared to our liking. After a week of seafood throughout the Maritime provinces, I opted for a steak and it didn’t disappoint cooked exactly as I requested and paired with an Argentine Malbec. The service also was exemplary with the right combination of timely attentiveness , touch of Nova Scotian humor and timeliness. We’ll be back if we ever get back from Miami.

    Such a treat to eat at the lovely L’Abri, our second time this autumn, with different friends/family visiting Nova Scotia. The sunset was stunning, our server Lia, was friendly and charming and we all enjoyed our choices from the menu. It’s our 3rd time visiting and hopefully there’ll be more next year. Thsnk-you and we look forward to new and exciting menus t come.

    We’d heard good things about L’Abri so we made a reservation for our one night in Cheticamp. It was everything we hoped for. Amazing ambience, attentive staff, delicious food and cozy vibes. Do not miss this place (and be sure to get the chowder with homemade scones)!

    Celtic Colours music festival event in town so reservations were a must. Was expecting service delays due to crowds but our service and food was quick and tasteful. It was busy but the staff were efficient and pleasant.

    What a find. Great food and the service was excellent. And the view spectacular. We got the broccolini starter and it was delicious. My husband got the steak and I got the chicken tiki masala. Both were delicious!

    Just a fantastic Experience at L'abri. The Seafood was amazing and the service sublime. Highly recommended. Cheticamp is a home away from home experience.

    This restaurant was recommended by a local person. When my husband and I looked at the menu online it had more options. I am vegan but eat fish when there is an ocean in the city or country we are visiting. The menu no longer had fresh fish options. I had the vegan samosas and my husband had a chicken curry. It was seasoned well and fresh but menu is very limited and expensive.
