Chéticamp & Area

About

Nestled in a lovingly restored barn along the iconic Cabot Trail, Doucet is more than a restaurant — it’s a tribute to Chéticamp’s land, history, and spirit.

With a thoughtfully curated multi-course experience, we invite you to slow down, savour each course, and reconnect — with nature, with food, and with each other.

Rooted in Acadian heritage and inspired by the rugged beauty of Cape Breton, Doucet brings together wild-foraged ingredients, locally sourced fare, and bold culinary creativity.

Each dish is a reflection of place, crafted by Michelin-trained Chef Cameron Armstrong and paired with wines personally selected by Sommelier Andrew McDow.

The name Doucet honours the original farming family who once lived on this land — and whose story continues through every plate we serve and every guest we welcome.

Whether you’re here for the food, the view, or the feeling of something special shared around the table, we’re so glad you found us.

We welcome you to something unforgettable.

Reserve your seat at the table.
