Highland Dining in Cape Breton
Where Local Flavour
Meets Single Malt Tradition
Nestled in the heart of the Cape Breton Highlands, Glenora's dining experience is rooted in the region's finest ingredients. Each signature dish on our menu is prepared with local produce, seafood, and artisan flavours influenced by traditional Nova Scotian culture.
Whether you're settling into the warmth of the Washback Pub over a dram of Glen Breton Rare, or gathering with friends in our storied Whisky Warehouse Dining Room, every meal here is an extension of the distillery story.
Where to Eat in Canada
The Washback Pub
Named for the fermentation vessels used in the distillery just steps away, the Washback Pub is the heart of Glenora's social life. Pull up a stool at the bar, order a dram from our extensive list of Glen Breton expressions, and settle in for an evening of Cape Breton hospitality.
We carry the largest selection of our own single malt under one roof — the perfect place to taste your way through the Glen Breton range side by side.
The Whisky Warehouse
Dining Room
CLOSED FOR 2026
Housed in the original whisky warehouse where Glen Breton once aged its casks, our dining room blends the rugged history of the distillery with a refined, welcoming atmosphere. Exposed beams, barrel-stave accents, and warm lighting set the scene for an evening you won't forget.
The menu celebrates the bounty of Cape Breton and Nova Scotia — freshly caught seafood, locally raised meats, and seasonal produce — each paired beautifully with a pour of Glen Breton.
Dining reservations accepted for overnight guests. All others first-come, first-served.
Live Music
A Cape Breton Ceilidh
Pronounced kay-lee
A Ceilidh is a Highland gathering centred on music, stories, food, and drink — and there is no better place to experience one than in the Washback Pub, with a glass of Glen Breton in hand.
Most days we showcase the finest local Cape Breton musicians right here in the pub. Come for the whisky, stay for the fiddle.
