My husband and I came here for dinner and loved it so much that we came back for breakfast. Breakfast was good but the dinner was fantastic. I had the quinoa bowl with a side of butternut squash soup (so good) and my husband got the fish and chips and said it was great. The fries were crispy and the fish was perfectly battered. We will definitely come back!

We had a great meal here. We sat in the covered outside area. I had the haddock which was beautifully presented and delicious. Hubby had lasagna which he really liked because it was very meaty. For dessert we shared a piece of peanut butter cheesecake. Very delicious. (So delicious that we took a few bites before I took the photo.)

We had the pleasure of dining at Salt Rock Restaurant for both breakfast and dinner, and we loved absolutely everything! The place is so charming, with a choice of indoor and outdoor seating that perfectly complements the cozy atmosphere. The food is simply delicious, and the portions are fabulous—definitely worth every bite! But what really sets this restaurant apart is the staff—OMG, the friendliest ever! The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is just fabulous. Plus, the location is fantastic in Baddeck. If you're in town, this is a must-visit spot for an amazing dining experience!

Gorgeous old building. The food was delicious. Smaller portions. The service was great. We came with a toddler and they had a nice chair for her as well as colouring. We had the Seafood Platter, Chicken Burger, Haddock, and Geralds Ceasar. All had great presentation and taste. The Haddock, in particular, was a pretty small portion. They had a good drink selection. I had a Ceasar, and it was above average.

Our experience was wonderful, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were going to eat outside, however it got a little chilly for our kids and they happily moved us to a table inside. The food was delicious, especially the lobster rolls and mussels. I found the prices a little high for the portion sizes they gave us though. The grilled cheese sandwhich and fries for the kids was $12 per meal which I felt was a lot for a grilled cheese sandwich.

We got our breakfast on a road trip while visiting Cape Breton area. We had eggs Bennie and omlet and it was really good. The service was pleasent and efficient and the atmosphere of the Victorian house was fantastic. We decided that the hotel will be our next place to stay when we are in the area again.
