We stopped at a gift shop and two strangers in the parking lot asked if we had been to the Dancing Goats restaurant. They told us to try to incorporate it into our trip and that we would not be disappointed. We did find the restaurant later in the day. I actually passed it and had to stop on the... More

This place is a gem. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced relative to ther places in the area. They have a limited breakfast menu and lunch/dinner menu that consists of sandwiches and soups but everything we had was outstanding. They have really good coffee and a huge assortment of baked goods made right there including breads, rolls, cookies,... More

We stopped in to this restaurant with high expectations based on where it is rated here on trip advisor. Food was ok. Service was terrible.. Not worth the drive there. More

This restaurant was an eating highlight of our trip to Cape Breton this summer. Freshly prepared food at reasonable prices was top-notch and flavourfull. The deli-bakery has limited seating but it is well worth it. Try the home-made sandwiches and soups. The wonderful double-chocolate chip cookies were decadent and the coffee is excellent. Highly recommended for breakfast and lunch. More

It was the only espresso we could find in the area and it's organic too. The business is 5 years old and last year they opened in their new space which is bright and airy. The baked goods we tried were exceptional. It's a busy place and they hope to add more outdoor seating next year. More

Order at contour and they deliver to table. Small outside patio for dining in good weather. Definitely a must for that area. Approx ten... More
