7. Swiss Chalet

Since our doors first opened in 1954, Canadian families have been coming back to Swiss Chalet generation after generation. Our rotisserie ovens only accept fresh (never frozen), grain-fed, Canadian Grade A chickens, because quality is all we know. So what

First time ever had Swiss Chalet crispy chicken! I would definitely recommend it especially the white meat. I usually prefer dark meat but in this case I would only want the white meat if I purchased it again!The aloe is good but the chicken can stand by itself. The couple of tablespoons of coleslaw is disappointing as an accompaniment to the chicken; there should be more!

5. Three Doors Down Diner

We were looking for something casual and more budget friendly tonight and chose Three Doors Down Diner because we heard it was where locals go. The diner is super small and very well kept. Itâs nothing fancy, but it certainly delivered on our diner food expectations. Itâs the first affordable menu weâve seen in a while, and the food did not disappoint. I had the fish and chips- so much better than some of the fancier places weâve been, just delicious. (Would be great if they figured out a homemade tartar sauce to go with it). Homemade pies and crisps were also delicious.

Quickly taken to our table with the menus coming right behind!Drink order was given and promptly brought to the table.We placed our food orders and the meals came very quickly.The fish and chips were great as was the clubhouse sandwich!The chicken curry was curry only in colour! The meal looked and tasted like SOUP! The waitress told me it would have a sharp curry taste. There was NO curry taste! I had to use a soup spoon to try and eat some of the meal. It was not enjoyable to eat that way! I should have complained about the worst curry I have ever eaten in a restaurant or anywhere!! I took the majority of the meal home. Much later in the evening, the liquid was absorbed by the rice and made it more pliable! So two people really enjoyed their meals while I lucked out at the restaurant food wise!!!

We had lunch here on our way around the Cabot Trail. My wife had a lobster and she loved it. I had the Bayside Fettuccine which was huge and delicious but I started with the chowder which was not very good. Excellent service from Diane made it a very pleasant experience. We would come back.

My husband and I stayed in Baddeck for four nights and McCurdy's Dining Room was our favourite restaurant for dinner. (We had okay experiences elsewhere, but the food here stood out to us. We wanted something special for our dinners.) We chose McCurdy's following a recommendation from our B&B hosts. We enjoyed our first dinner so much (day 1) that we returned on our last night. We both hugely enjoyed the Maple Curry Seafood Fettuccine - it was absolutely delicious! I nearly ordered it again for our second dinner, but I decided to try the Thai Vegetable Stir Fry instead, which was very good. We also liked the Peanut Butter Cheesecake. For our first dinner, we sat outside on the terrace/patio area, which was lovely and peaceful. There was a bus tour inside at the same time, so we wanted a quieter dining experience. We were impressed by the efficiency of the food service given how busy the restaurant was (there weren't any long waits or delays). Overall, we enjoyed our meals here and we would return on any future visits to Baddeck.Thank you for your excellent review! We love getting feedback from our guests and appreciate your wonderful comments. Please dine with us again if you are ever back in the area. Thank you.

We spent an evening in Port Hawkesbury on our way back to Ontario. The restaurant was full but not lined up out the door. The food was very good, however the owner should look to employ more wait staff. You can see this by the level of frustration they exhibited citing how busy they were and apologizing for the forgotten beverage as well as the main course arriving before the appetizers were half way done. So glad you enjoyed your meals. We are sorry to hear our wait staff wasn't on point that night and will definitely look into what the issues were that evening. We assure you that isn't the norm for us, as we have plenty of wait staff. Unfortunately, from time to time, things come up or happen that are out of our control. If you are ever in the area again, please give us another try, we promise we will not disappoint!!
