Coastal Restaurant & Pub

About Coastal Restaurant & Pub

Situated on the Cabot Trail in Ingonish, the Coastal Restaurant & Pub sits close to Highland Links, making it a natural stop for golfers completing the Cape Breton circuit. The restaurant operates seasonally from May through October, offering a full-service pub experience in a setting that leans casual and welcoming.

The kitchen built its reputation on a combination of pub classics and fresh local seafood. The award-winning Ringer Burger has drawn enough attention to earn the restaurant a feature on Food Network's You Gotta Eat Here, while the homemade seafood chowder, battered fish and chips, and fisherman's platters reflect the coastal location. Ranked first in Ingonish on TripAdvisor, it has become a consistent favourite among travelers working their way along the Cabot Trail.

For golfers spending a day at Highland Links, the Coastal is a practical and well-regarded option for a post-round meal — close enough to make the detour easy, and with a menu that covers both hearty pub fare and straightforward seafood.
