The Freight Shed

Food was amazing, our waitress was very friendly but we were told it was her first week so we were very lenient. When we were leaving she mentioned how the scheduled changed from the previous year and how much later nights go this year, so that felt a bit off. After reading reviews I’m unsure if that was just something they tell people or if it’s true. Anyway, I’m reviewing just the food and the experience I had in the restaurant and I loved it. The lobster was great, the salad was beautiful and the location is 10/10

I'd like to thank the food gods for the Freight Shed. We were in Baddeck for the shoulder season when a bunch of places were closed, so we had 2 meals at the Shed - breakfast and dinner - and enjoyed both of them. For breakfast, we got: - Blueberry Coconut Pancakes: It's a Freight Shed signature dish, and that makes perfect sense. Three huge and fluffy pancakes which have hints of coconut in the batter and a super generous heaping of blueberries in it. Got it with side sausage, and this was a definite winner. - Salmon Eggs Benny: Would have liked more salmon (yes I'm greedy) but otherwise, solid poach on the egg, solid toast on the benny, solid home fries. For dinner we got: - Seafood Chowder: Another signature dish that, while good, wasn't outstanding. Good amount of seafood in it, though would have liked a thicker soup. - Mussels for Two: Really generous heaping. Mussels were fresh and cooked well (not rubbery), broth was standard white wine and garlic. - Halibut: Special for the day, this was pricey for the small portion of halibut. That said, the panko crust on it was really flavourful. - Carrot Cake: I loved it (moist, decadent, whole lotta cream), though my wife found it too sweet. Service is really friendly and efficient, with the people there (from kitchen to servers) having such a welcoming aura. It's also by the waterfront so you have a great view while you dine. So whatever the season may be, Freight Shed definitely delivers.

Very delicious Portobello mushrooms and haddock. The views from the outdoor seating on the pier are stunning as you are right on water and can see the lighthouse and boats. Highly recommend!
