Fitzgerald’s Restaurant
Fitzgerald’s is a family restaurant specializing in Cape Breton hospitality, superb seafood and char-broiled steak.
Our large, bright dining room looks out on beautiful Kelly’s Mountain and the Great Bras d’Or Channel. The view is even better from our deck tables or you may order take-out and dine at one of our picnic tables and watch the wild life as you are awed by a spectacular Cape Breton view.
Baked goods for our meals are home-made locally and we offer for sale a selection of baked items including: breads, rolls, biscuits, loaves, oat cakes, pies and cinnamon rolls.
A selection of wines, beers and spirits is available to complement your meal.
Situated midway between Sydney and Baddeck, Fitzgerald’s is, for Sydney area travelers, the perfect choice for a jumping off breakfast on a Cabot Trail tour or a trip to the mainland, and also for dinner when returning home. For the tourist, we can be your dining hub for exploration of Cape Breton’s Cabot Trail, Louisburg, Sydney, Baddeck, Ingonish, Bras d’Or, St. Ann’s Bay and beautiful Boularderie Island. We are only a half-hour drive from Sydney or Baddeck – a pleasant drive for a dining out treat.
