The Gaslight Café
About
Found on Cape Breton Island, The Gaslight Café holds a 4.7 out of 5 average from 138 reviews, a standing that places it among the better-known addresses in Sydney.
That address in Sydney puts the café within reach of the larger communities around Cape Breton Island, including Glace Bay and Margaree, so a detour into town fits most touring routes. Travellers heading for the Cabot Trail or Louisbourg can break the drive in Sydney without going far off course. The Facebook page at facebook.com/TheGaslightCafelb carries further updates from the café.
Cape Breton winters run long, with sea ice and months of darkness, so summer is the season most visitors plan around. Sydney works as a base for exploring the island's coastal roads, with Baddeck and Chéticamp to the west and Ingonish further up the coast.
Baddeck, Chéticamp, Ingonish and Louisbourg all sit within a day's driving of the café, which makes Sydney a practical stop on a loop of the island. The Cabot Trail and Margaree lie to the west, while Glace Bay sits just along the coast.
