Mostly everyone has been to bars and restaurants throughout their travels in different towns and cities. Once in a while, you stumble upon a place that makes you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. This is what happens when you walk into the Doryman. Since 1966, we have strived to make our customers feel at home; whether they are locals from right here in Cape Breton or visiting the Cabot Trail from another part of the world. Our story spans over five decades and shows no signs of slowing down. As we look to the future and continue supporting and celebrating our rich local music scene, it is also important to take a look back at the memories and stories which helped build The Doryman and its reputation.
Read MoreSimply Excellent We arrived for late lunch and were thrilled to find the place alive with people, socializing and music. From the owner Marc, to our waitress Lola, to the chefs who prepared tasty meals, to the gentleman who greeted us, we felt welcomed. Music was lively, professional and fun. We highly recommend the Doryman Pub.
This place is great. Not only do they have great food, they have great people working there. I had pan fried haddock and a side salad (which is hard to get while traveling) and it was all great. Not greasy at all. Fish was fresh and flaky. My husband had the chicken wings which were lightly hand breaded in house and were also great. Raven was our superb waitress and not only answered all our questions about the menu but explained Chase the Ace. She also gave me a great suggestion for coffee to buy in market as I was having trouble with Tim Hortons. We highly recommend this place.
Welcomed with a smile We showed up ten minutes before the kitchen closed after a long day of hiking and were welcomed with a smile, and the kitchen was happy to stay open for us. Fresh food, good beer selection and live music all at a very reasonable price. The house salad was a highlight. The chowder was easily better than some of the local restaurants that were priced much higher. Service was really friendly and she let us know about some local swimming hole secrets. We were sad it was our last night in Cheticamp because we would have come back again. It was my first trip to Cape Breton and they made me feel like a local.
The Doryman Pub is a great local pub. The staff is super nice, the food is very delicious, and it has a very local feel while eating. The restaurant overlooks the water so it provides a beautiful view while eating and enjoying live music. The food they provide is very good and provide larger portion sizes for the price. Very much recommend to stop in and eat here.
