Delicious and cozy spot near the water. The seafood linguine was perfection as it was so delicious with a good variety of mussels, shrimp, & scallops. The chowder was not as thick as I've had before but tasty and seafood rich. Both dishes came with bread. Service was friendly & attentive. Cozy & romantic feel with mood lighting. So glad we tried it.

Seafood linguine

Beautiful spot with view of the water. Everything we had was delicious, the beer was cold, and the service was good. We had the lobster roll, raw oysters, haddock, and the salad. Everything was very good and fresh. What really stood out was the seafood chowder. Wow! Bunch of seafood inside and the flavor was on point. Overall a great spot. A bit on the pricier side but you also pay for the view and the location.

Lobster roll... filled with lettuce, decorated with lobster meat on top

I'm really sorry, but the only good thing I can write about this restaurant is, it has a wonderful view of the Baddeck Bay. Truly disappointed with the quality of food. Moreover, it's priced quite high compared to other restaurants. Quality vs serving size vs price barely makes 2 star as rating. We had Crab cakes, which can be better described as oatmeal cookie... dry, flavourless, blunt and costs $42 (or $45 maybe) for 3 pieces!! Had lobster roll, it's way smaller than other restaurants, and interestingly found that there is only a small portion of lobster meat there, which is nicely decorated on top of the lettuce filled roll. Service was below average as well. Nevertheless, at least we enjoyed the sunshine and the view of the bay as we were seated outside on the pier.

The restaurant itself is pleasant and has a great feel to it, very nice view of the water. The service was awesome considering how busy it was and our large party size. The food was mixed among our party. I had the reuben sandwich, which while good was noticeably too heavy on the spice seasoning as it became too much near the end. Fries were good but very skimpy amount for what you're paying. Multiple people in my group who had the fish said it was over cooked. 2/5. Hopefully we just caught the kitchen on an off day, but at the price we paid it's underwhelming.

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.

If you're a seafood lover, this place is Heaven. I'm a mussel junkie and the steamed mussels in celery broth were the best I've had anywhere at any price. Amazing seared scallops, freshest tasting crab cakes and great lobster roll. Servers were friendly and happy to have us that were here from a cruise. Can't wait to come back.

Inside the crab cakes, look at all that crab meat!

See all
