Charming and delicious! - Edit
Chef Ron did an amazing job accommodating for us as vegans. We had the vegetable chickpea curry, veggie lentil soup and vegan peanut butter cups. He even made us garlic toast with olive oil instead of butter. Everyone who worked there was delightful and they even have a vegan server on deck and she was a darling! Beautiful vibe and amazing food. What more could you ask for?

we stayed here - Edit
We decided to stay here because of the reviews from happy cow. Cabot Shores advertises as being vegan friendly, but our servers didn't know the difference between vegan and vegetarian.

We apologize profusely for your disappointing experience. We had a recent turnover in our serving staff and apologize that they were apparently not fully trained. However, we always have 2-3 vegan options, including soup, salad, mains such as rice noodle bowl, chickpea masala, saag tofu and more. Our desserts include vegan fruit crisps and truffles. Try us again sometime!

One more thing: We now have a policy of asking each table if any of the guests are vegetarian, vegan or GF or have any other dietary preferences/restrictions. We all know the frustrating experience of a vegetarian having to listen through a long list of meat options!

Vegetarian-friendly - Edit
We booked at Cabot Shores based in part on the great reviews from this site. Shortly before our June 2016 stay, the hotel acquired a new culinary team and put together a new menu. While the new menu is still vegetarian-friendly, it might be more difficult for vegans. Also, they were still getting the kinks out while we were there--one night they were out of two of the three vegetarian entree choices. If you eat breakfast, don't expect much--some bread and peanut butter would be the only vegan choices. On the plus side, the setting can't be beat. It is breathtakingly beautiful, and there are few other veg-friendly options in the area. So it's worth a trip.

As of May 2017, we are now able to offer all vegetarian dishes in vegan form. Please try us again!

Wonderful Find - Edit
My husband and I were staying at a friend's rental cottage in Baddeck and were hoping to eat out at least once during our trip. I was afraid there wouldn't be anywhere to find a vegan meal but lo and behold: The Bistro at Cabot Shores to the rescue!
Read moreThe food was simple but wonderful. The local beer was great. And the owner chef was fantastic. The portions were more than adequate for me; slightly on the small side for my husband, but it wasn't really a problem. My only complaint is that I think the tip was included automatically, without that being explained in advance.
We never saw a menu...I spoke with the owner via email and there's only one vegan option per night so there was no need to look at a menu...which means we never saw a price. We were really surprised when I saw the bill. I was also surprised that there was no line for "tip" on the credit card slip. After reading the most recent review, I get it. I'm assuming now that the tip was already added. Not realizing that at the time, however, I paid the bill and tipped again in cash, making the meal really expensive.
We would definitely go back and if you have the chance to go, you should. Just ask about the price and gratuity ahead of time so you know what to expect.
Pros: Great atmosphere., Great food., Friendly staff.
Cons: Ask about the price & gratuity policy.

Lovely setting and tasty food - Edit
We arrived an hour before they opened at 6, with our gluten-free vegetarian 16-year old. They let us come in, browse around, give our order early, and wander the beautiful grounds. We had delicious curry and a vegetarian pad-thai, which they re-made gluten-free for our daughter. Definitely a pleasant spot for tasty veggie food in the land of the lobster!

Coconut Curry soup - Edit
I recently had the pleasure of enjoying Barbara's coconut curry soup. Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the soup to anyone whether they are vegetarian or not. The beautiful location and great food are both well worth the drive.
