Doryman Pub & Grill
Overview
Come in. Sit down. Relax. But most importantly… just have a good time!
The Doryman is well known for good times! With an undisputed reputation for live local music, including Saturday afternoon fiddle sessions, music lovers will not be disappointed when they leave The Doryman.
Located in the picturesque seaside Acadian village of Cheticamp on the Cabot Trail, The Doryman’s reputation for live music is a perfect example of how this community is “toujours chantante”.
A winning combination of the best in Cape Breton musical talent complemented by fresh seafood, steaks, and pub delights!
