Two Days Exploring Chéticamp

Arrive and check-in at your choice of boutique accommodations, like the The Archie & Isidore Hotel, the oceanfront Dockside Suite, or the contemporary LaPointe Chalets. Ease into your visit with a cozy coffee and house-baked treats at Café Les Suêtes before heading out to explore.

Connect with Acadian culture at Les Trois Pignons, where you can learn about local heritage, admire the remarkable fibre art of Elizabeth LeFort, and even try rug hooking yourself.

Warm up over a hearty Acadian lunch at Restaurant Evangeline, featuring traditional dishes like fricot and rappie pie. In the afternoon, trade the sidewalks for snow-covered backroads on a guided winter tour. Join TNT Outdoor Adventures for a Cape Breton Highlands Snowmobile Tour or take a sweet Maple Adventure: Jeep Tour & Taste with Cape Breton Backcountry Adventures.

Return to your inn to relax and soak in the hot tub or unwind with a view of the winter coastline at your suite. In the evening, treat yourself to the Table Doucet experience, a chef and sommelier-led fine dining adventure in a lovingly restored barn, where traditional Acadian flavours are reimagined with local, seasonal ingredients.

Explore nearby trails such as the Gypsum Mine & Quarry Trail or historic Le Chemin du Buttereau in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, where you’ll be treated to sweeping highland and ocean views. Bring your own snowshoes or cross-country skis to add to your adventure. After, head to Cap-Rouge Look-off to admire dramatic snow-covered coastal vistas and snap a few photos.

Refuel with lunch at the Doryman Pub & Grill, offering hearty pub favourites or Café Les Suêtes for comforting soups, pastas and sandwiches. Afterwards, stroll through the colourful village, browsing local art and handcrafted goods at Marguerite boutique et provisions and L’Atelier Brio.

As evening falls, make your way to L’Abri Restaurant & Bar for dinner, offering a modern spin on Acadian and global dishes, paired with inventive cocktails and ocean views. Cap off your winter escape with live music and a relaxed drink at Doryman Pub & Grill, where Acadian joie-de-vivre fills the room and provides a perfect farewell to Chéticamp.
