About

Right on Chebucto Street in the heart of Baddeck, Main Street Restaurant is a relaxed, friendly stop for a hearty meal after a day on the Cabot Trail or along the Bras d’Or Lake.

The menu leans on fresh local seafood (lobster, lobster rolls, mussels, haddock and fish tacos) and has plenty for everyone else at the table too, from burgers and stir-fry to pasta and big, fresh salads. Portions are generous and the kitchen is happy to accommodate dietary needs, with a wide range of gluten-free options and vegetarian choices.

Grab a table inside or settle out on the deck, where blankets keep things cozy on cooler evenings. Pair your meal with a Nova Scotia cider or craft beer and enjoy the easygoing hospitality that keeps visitors and locals coming back.

Whether it’s a family dinner, a meal with friends or a stop on your way around the Island, Main Street is an easy choice in downtown Baddeck.
