By the far the best spot to eat on the island. The food is unbelievably delicious. Homemade, generously portioned, filled with nuanced flavors. Every bite is an adventure, and you can taste the love put into each dish. On top of the beautiful food, decor, ambience, and lovely staff they have absolutely delicious coffee. I can't wait to go again and again and try everything these culinary geniuses dream up. You won't find a better place to dine on God's Green Earth. Ps please introduce some new tea options to the menu

Happy to be Home!

We are Cory Blundon and Kara Lackie and we're the owners and operators of Selkie's Neighbourhood Diner! We are a Brunch spot in Sydney, a stall at the Cape Breton Farmer's Market, a catering service and a food truck specializing in fresh, local food made with love.

We are happy to drive to special events and parties all over Cape Breton. Our menu is constantly changing so that we are always cooking with the very best of whats offered by Cape Breton's land & sea.

Cory is originally from Cape Breton, and is a cook who's greatest passion on the planet is breakfast. Kara has been working as a pastry chef for the last 10 years. Together we have lived and worked in Toronto, New Zealand and Fogo Island, Newfoundland. It is so, so great to be settled down for good in our little house in Gabarus with our dog Sweetpea.

We are very excited to share our food with you and look forward to filling up happy bellies all over the Cape Breton.

Come on out and let us feed you!
