Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
North Sydney is a small, friendly industrial town with few sites, though there are some
excellent-value places to stay and eat.
Reserve accommodations if you're coming in on a late ferry or going out on an early
one. Most North Sydney motels and B&Bs are open year-round, and it's understood that
guests will arrive and leave at all hours. Most places to stay are along Queen St about
2km west of the ferry terminal.
Sleeping & Eating
Heritage Home B&B B&B $
( 866-601-4515, 902-794-4815; www.bbcanada.com/3242.html ; 110 Queen St; r $60-100;
) This exceptionally well decorated and maintained Victorian home is an extremely ele-
gant place to stay for the price. Breakfasts are home cooked and most rooms have private
bathrooms.
A Boat to Sea B&B $$$
( 902-794-8326, 855-580-9540; www.aboattosea.com ; 61 Queen St; r $95-105; ) Right
on the waterfront and surrounded by beautiful gardens (look for bald eagles), this grand
home is decorated with stained glass and a quirky antiques collection. Relax on the
waterfront patio and enjoy hearty breakfasts. There are only three rooms, so book ahead
in high season.
Lobster Pound & Moore SEAFOOD $$$
( 902-794-2992; 161 Queen St; mains $15-35; lunch & dinner Tue-Sun) With the standard
lobster here weighing in at almost a kilo (2lb), show up hungry because portions are
massive. But big quantity doesn't affect the freshness, high quality and all around deli-
ciousness of the food. Try Korean grilled steaks, seafood stew, or the ravioli stuffed with
fresh lobster and topped with even more. Decor is chic bistro meets seafood shack.
Black Spoon MODERN CANADIAN $$$
( 902-241-3300; 320 Commercial St; mains $10-17; 11am-8pm Mon-Thu, to 9pm Fri & Sat) At
this hip black and beige restaurant, dine on local faves with a delectable twist, like
breaded haddock with mango salsa, or the colorful grilled vegetable salad with goat
cheese. There's also espresso drinks, cocktails and a reasonable wine list.
