What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about The Cable Room's exceptional farm-to-table experience, highlighting the exquisite quality of food, impeccable service, and charming atmosphere. Many consider it a standout dining destination in Nova Scotia, with particular praise for the fresh seafood, perfectly cooked dishes, and divine homemade desserts.

"I stopped in for solo dinner and ended up having one of the most lovely evenings. I sat outside on the expansive porch and my server, Judy, who was so warm and friendly throughout the meal, took great care of me. The scallops were very good, but the halibut dish was outstanding. Judy explained that they try to locally source their ingredients, which is reflected in their recipes and cooking. Between the pleasant evening ambiance, the excellent service, and the incredible food, I rank my meal here among the top I’ve had in a long while. I’ll be back next time I am in Baddeck!"

"A really pleasant and friendly place — we ate on the terrace. They managed to find us a table for five even though we didn’t have a reservation. The meal was excellent. I had the risotto, and so did my daughter — to my great surprise, they offer half portions for children. My wife had the scallops, and they were cooked perfectly. It was excellent! I highly recommend it"

"Unbelievable. Probably the best food I’ve ever had, let alone entire kitchen is gluten free. Amazing quality of dishes. Crab cakes and potato leek soup with biscuits was delicious. The sticky toffee pudding and Winter in Baddeck desserts paired perfectly together and were amazing. All the staff super friendly and helpful with tips. Beautiful like a tea house but comfortable and casual. Wonderful experience all around"
