L'abri café, restaurant et bar

J'ai tout aimé dans le style et la décoration atypique de ce magnifique resto! L'emplacement en bord de mer avec sa terrasse originale est à voir ! Les cocktails et les repas étaient délicieux ! Belle ambiance et très bon service. Petit bémol; nous n'avons pas aimé le fait de ne pas avoir de facture en papier pour voir les items qui nous étaient facturés. Demandez-le. Je recommande fortement le resto à tous :-)!

Food was great. Really like the space. Everyone was super friendly. Will definitely come back again and again.

Excellent! Beautiful atmosphere, great service and delicious food! Had the crab lobster roll and the seafood linguine and loved both!

Best food and service I've had in the area, strongly reccomend for any tourists looking for an unforgettable experience

Nous avions réservé à ce restaurant en espérant une belle soirée pour notre famille de cinq personnes — un souper spécial pendant nos vacances, à près de 360$. Lors de la réservation, nous avions bien précisé que nous souhaitions une table avec vue sur la baie. Or, en arrivant, on nous a offert deux choix : une table à l'extérieur (en pleine saison des mouches à chevreuil) ou une salle sans vue, à l'arrière. Nous avons demandé poliment s'il était possible d'être assis dans la section vitrée, qui semblait pourtant partiellement vide. On nous a répondu que cette section ne pouvait accueillir de groupes de 5, alors qu'à l'œil, des tables de 4 étaient juste à côté de tables de 2 — facilement combinables. Le serveur a ensuite changé plusieurs fois de justification : il fallait que ce soit précisé dans la réservation (ça l'était), puis que l'autre salle était « réservée », et finalement qu'il n'y aurait « pas assez d'espace pour les serveurs » (un argument difficile à croire, ayant moi-même été en restauration). Bref, malgré notre réservation anticipée, nous avons été placés à l'écart, sans vue. Le service n'a malheureusement pas rattrapé l'expérience : nos plats ont mis une heure à arriver, alors que les enfants — pourtant calmes et affamés — attendaient. Le serveur n'a jamais proposé de pain ou d'amuse-bouche en attendant. Une fois les assiettes à peine terminées (et même pas toutes), il a commencé à les ramasser avec empressement, en demandant s'il pouvait déjà emballer les frites du garçon qui n'avait pas fini. Aucune file d'attente à la porte, rien qui justifiait cette précipitation. Puis, clou de la soirée : alors que nous comptions prendre un dessert, finir notre vin et peut-être un digestif, le serveur nous a lancé : « J'imagine que vous êtes pleins et que vous allez prendre une crème glacée dans le village? »... Ce genre de commentaire, après un repas aussi coûteux, laisse un goût amer. Mon conjoint l'a interpellé, et il s'est immédiatement excusé, mais le mal é

Best restaurant in Cheticamp for sure! The patio was beautiful at sunset. The food, service, and ambiance were all outstanding!

Amazing meal, great cocktails. We actually went twice in our three day stay in town. I would very much recommend.

Une perle dans un écrin de bord de mer que ce petit restaurant! Nourriture savoureuse et service amical. Simple, sans prétention, mais Oh combien bon!

The hostess were friendly, one more than the other. Food was OK. Not worth the $60 for the pulled pork pizza ($26 with very little pork or flavor) and kale caesar salad was $27. There was an additional charge of $13 for three scallops! I didn't realize until after the bill arrived, as my daughter ordered for herself. I asked if the bill was right, as I was surprised. Six scallops, sure. Three, no. On a Caesar salad! For a total of $27!
The atmosphere was very quaint, so 4 stars for that. Definitely would not recommend though, to people spending time and money on the Cabot trail.

I had dinner at the bar as I didn't have a reservation. Its a small place so i can see it filling up quickly. Very accommodating and friendly staff. I ordered the fish and chips (2) which were very lightly fried, crispy and tasty and the side of sautéed broccolini was delicious. Portion sizes were average. They had a descent and diverse beer selection (not all IPAs). I had a helles from North Brewing which was excellent.

Beautiful location and atmosphere. Space cadet staff that can't remember your order. Got seafood linguini, was cold and the seafood was rubbery and very obviously frozen. Sauce tasted like cheap marinara.

Friend got the same, had the same thoughts. Other friend got a steak and said it was cold and poorly cooked.

I went here for breakfast & dinner during the time I spent working abroad for the National Park. The breakfast was great service was perfect. On the contrast the dinner was very slow service. (Wasn’t slammed) Had to remind about drinks, the thing I was most disappointed about was the spinach dip. Everything else had huge portions, the spinach dip had barley enough chips or pits to even finish the dip. I ask for more so we could finish the dip. Later I find out when we get our bill that we were charged an extra $6 on top of the $20 they charged for the dish. I talked to them about the issue and I was dismissed like I was crazy to even ask. Maybe it’s just the small town vibe but it wasn’t the hospitality I’ve received from other establishments in the area. Just don’t get the dip it’s not worth it. Live music was enjoyable that they had going.

This is our first time trying this restaurant and no words can express how proud we are to dine in. L’abri offers an exquisite dining experience with flawless service, beautifully presented dishes, and a warm atmosphere. The food was great, and every detail was thoughtfully curated. Talking about service, we had some requests to go out of the menu for drinks, and they didn’t disappointed us. We had the summer salad and chicken wings, they were delicious! But in the mains we had was Chicken tikka masala, could be more flavourful and Spicy. As a highly trained Indian Chef, I would recommend to add some more spices to it. To make it more authentic taste better. But overall a highly recommended for a perfect date night! A MUST VISIT RESTAURANT IN CHETICAMP!
