What User likes about Mountain View Restaurant:
We chose to have a light lunch at this restaurant and were pleasantly surprised to find a $17 lobster roll on the menu, despite being in a remote area of the Cabot Trail. The portion of lobster in the roll was generous and the taste and texture were fresh, even though we were told it was from mainland Canada due to it being outside of lobster season. The service was friendly and efficient. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Mountain View Restaurant:
We were pretty cold and hungry when we reached Pleasant Bay. It was very early season, and when we saw that this place was open we were happy for the chance to eat. The homemade soup was delicious. The rest of the food was mediocre - veggies were all from tins or frozen. The wine was from Nova Scotia and certainly good enough. Service was adequate. Not a place I'd set as a goal, but it certainly served our purposes. View all feedback.

Visitors to Pleasant Bay will find a mixed bag at local restaurant options. With some dishes disappointing, such as the underwhelming poutine and krab burger at one spot, other selections shine, like a fresh lobster roll found at another eatery. The food quality varies, but the atmosphere at the Mountainview restaurant is welcoming, with live music adding to the experience. Those looking for a late night or morning bite will find this spot accommodating, with friendly service and decent breakfast offerings. Overall, the establishment provides a decent option for dining in the area, especially for those seeking convenience and a taste of local flavor.
