Chanterelle Restaurant, Inn & Cottages is the perfect place to take in the natural beauty and scenery of the Cabot Trail. For over 20 years we have welcomed guests from all over the world to make themselves at home and sample some of Cape Breton Island’s finest local ingredients and experiences. Our menu is created from the labours of farmers, growers and fishers from within 100 kilometers of our location whenever possible. Our custom packages bring together Cape Breton Island’s amazing food, cozy accommodation and experiences exploring Nova Scotia’s hidden gems.

Restaurant

As soon as Earlene Busch built the Inn she had a notion of what she wanted to offer in her restaurant. Having raised her daughters on food from her garden and the farm across the street from where they grew up, she was accustomed to cooking whatever was available or in season. Our specials change often and come from ethical sources within 100 kilometers of the Chanterelle Restaurant whenever possible. Lobster, Crab, Halibut, Tuna as well as Mussels and Oysters come from the local fishers and cultivators from Englishtown and Little River Wharf. Animals tenderly raised on ethical farms that we personally trust. Wild mushrooms, fresh herbs, edible flowers and plants that are foraged right from our own backyard. Join us! We serve between 6pm and 8:30pm every night.

The Environment: DEDICATED TO PRESERVATION

Chanterelle Inn & Cottages is an eco-award-winning property, renowned for its sustainable food sourcing, eco-friendly power and water systems, and its limited carbon footprint. Since the very beginning we’ve worked to build a comfortable, environmentally safe property that’s welcomed thousands of guests. We have built our rooms at the Inn and Cottages to take advantage of natural cooling; there is no a/c in the rooms as part of our effort to conserve energy. The Inn’s rooms don’t have TV’s but we do have plenty of good books in our extensive library downstairs.
