Station House Restaurant - Louisbourg

A quick meal to hold us out. The deep fried haddock was a good chunk of fish. Chips were crispy. I really liked the coleslaw but only got a tablespoon; could have more. Moderate price.

Great comfort food stop in historic Louisbourg. Good and friendly service with mini golf and gocarting track.

After reading reviews, we knew what to expect. We had breakfast here because it was the only place open. Basic menu. Reasonably priced ,not greasy) breakfast and decent coffee. It's a bit like having a visit with a somewhat cranky aunt and uncle. Very informal; customers all tend to get involved in one big conversation. This is very Cape Breton and could be off-putting it you're not used to it. The Cape Breton sense of humour is unique, too, often involving good-natured put-downs, which can be misinterpreted. Louisbourg is a small town and the people retain their sense of community.

The only other place offering lunch when we were leaving the fort was a new place (not even a sign outside) offering only lobster wraps, so we ended up at this place located just off Main Street. Lobster Kettle had been our aim, but it was just sold to a new owner and not open. A true 'mom pop ' place with an old couple doing everything there. My wife had the seafood chowder (mostly fish, but not from a can) and a grilled cheese. I had a hot turkey sandwich (real turkey, not deli slices) with fries. Overall, an 'ok ' lunch, but almost $30 total.

I visited this charming restaurant for breakfast, which seems to be the only place in town that offers breakfast. The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the service was friendly and quick.
