"An intimate, 12-seat restaurant in Forks Baddeck where Chef Bryan Picard presents ever-changing nine-course menus built from hyper-local ingredients sourced from regional producers and the restaurant’s own garden, emphasizing contemporary, seasonal tasting menus." - AFAR
"Set in a white farmhouse in Big Baddeck on Cape Breton Island, this 16-seat, home-based restaurant is run by chef Bryan Picard and his partner Marie Isabelle and operates a few days a week from May to December with a single seating for a nine-course tasting. The tiny, slightly under-equipped kitchen (a four-burner electric stove, no dishwasher) and a small crew including Picard’s father produce intensely local, seasonal food built around garden-grown and foraged ingredients supplied by neighbors and regional producers; standout moments described include halibut cheek with ginger mint, birch-smoked mussels with fava beans and sea parsley, house sourdough served with butter and bee pollen, a braised pork shoulder with buttered chanterelles and red currants, and a lemon balm ice cream finished with toasted meringue. Service is casual, music-filled, and personal—hand-stamped menus, two beers on tap, French-press coffee, and a warm, community-oriented atmosphere—and reservations famously sell out within minutes." - ByAlex Delany
"The Bite House operates in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, offering a unique dining experience." - Food & Wine Editors
