Fleur de-Lis Tea Room and Dining Room — Restaurant in Port Hawkesbury

May give here a 3.5 Stopped in here for breakfast on a drizzly Saturday morning over the Xmas holidays, while driving from Antigonish to Sydney. I'd never heard of it before until a friend told me he had stopped in a day or two prior, so I made it a mission to check out. Bonus that it's in a strip mall so lots of free parking. The place may seat 40 or so? It was less than half full when I arrived and I took a table near the rear of the room. Basic tables, nothing fancy about the atmosphere, some local photos on the wall. Friendly staff. I was impressed with the menu as it has a lot of options, which is hard to make a decision when extra hungry.

It is tucked into the strip mall next to Sobeys. If you liked the green tomatoes chow chow they get it from the sobeys. I had gone over there afterwards and got a big jar as I have never had it before. I though it was a chutney, turns out it is good with more than just fish cakes. It was good with bread products and very good with some home made sweet...

This absolute gem of a restaurant makes you feel right at home the moment you step in. We stopped by near the end of the night and asked for the cup of chowder and small bowl of Cajun chicken linguine, but the cook, in true Cape Breton spirit, made us extra so we each got a size up. The food was so flavourful and warm, and the country-pop music playing softly in the background made it all feel extra cozy. The staff were quick to have us seated and fed, even with the bustle of Ceilidh night at the civic centre nearby. For a restaurant nestled within a shopping centre, it left such an impression on me as a kid, and I was so excited to bring my husband by to share it with him. It feels like...
