The Cable Room at The Telegraph House

The Cable Room occupies a storied space inside Baddeck's Telegraph House, a building dating to 1861 with ties to the laying of the first Trans-Atlantic cable. That history sets an atmospheric backdrop for what is firmly a farm-to-table dinner destination, drawing on locally sourced Nova Scotia ingredients across both land and sea.

The menu leans into the province's strengths: fresh scallops and halibut represent the coastal side, while brisket anchors the heartier options, and a seafood fettuccine rounds out the selection. An expansive porch extends the dining room outdoors when the Cape Breton weather cooperates — a practical bonus after a long day on the course.

For golfers routing through the Baddeck area, the location on Chebucto Street puts it squarely in the heart of the village and within easy reach of Bell Bay Golf Club. The combination of historic setting, locally sourced cooking, and a strong regional reputation makes The Cable Room a natural dinner stop on any Cape Breton golf itinerary.
