Governor's Pub & Eatery

A multi-generational, family-owned Cape Breton institution set in a late-19th-century former mayor's home on Sydney's Esplanade, Governor's Pub & Eatery overlooks the harbour and the iconic Big Fiddle. The scratch kitchen turns out fresh Atlantic lobster, hand-cut steaks, lobster wontons, and East Coast-inspired mains, with live Cape Breton ceilidh music most nights. Winner of the Sydney Chamber of Commerce Restaurant of the Year and the RANS Cape Breton Restaurant of the Year, it's the top dinner pick for golfers based in Sydney near Lingan Golf Club.
