Arduaine Restaurant and Lounge

The Arduaine

The Best Oceanfront Patio on the Cabot Trail

On the edge of the Atlantic, The Arduaine Patio offers one of the most breathtaking dining experiences along the Cabot Trail. With uninterrupted ocean views and the dramatic cliffs of Cape Breton Highlands surrounding you, dining here feels as though you’re sitting right above the water.

Watch the light change across the Atlantic, see the small fishing boats coming and going, and savour fresh flavours while taking in one of the most spectacular patios in Cape Breton. For anyone travelling along the Cabot Trail or spending the evening at The Keltic Resort, the Arduaine Patio is a destination in its own right.

Patio Seating

Our oceanfront patio is one of the most popular dining destinations along the Cabot Trail. During peak dining times, there may be a short wait, but the panoramic views and relaxed atmosphere are well worth it.

To ensure as many guests as possible can enjoy the patio, seating is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. This is a must-see stop on your Cabot Trail adventure!

The Arduaine History

A Look Back In Time

The space that is now the Arduaine Restaurant & Lounge was once the resort’s gift shop and cafe. In 1999, it was transformed into the Atlantic Restaurant, and later renamed to the Arduaine, and now boasts one of the most spectacular dining views along the Cabot Trail.
