Backroads Bistro

Backroads Bistro Backroads Bistro is a mobile eatery specializing in locally grown gourmet. When possible we choose local and support Cape Breton’s fishermen and meat producers.

We travel Route 19 offering fresh and healthy alternative convenient food and espresso. Check us out at one of our roadside locations or at the Mabou Farmer's Market on Sundays! Most of our produce is grown in our market garden or sourced from other local small scale farmers. Our menu is always changing based on what’s in season so be sure to check out our daily specials which will be posted on Fa

cebook. We will be at the Mabou Marina Thursday, Friday and Saturday and parked outside the Mabou Farmer's Market on Sundays! Our locations may change through the season and we hope to be parked roadside in Inverness, but we will keep our page updated and post locations and hours of operation in the Oran weekly. We will also provide catering services so contact us for a consultation! Owner and operator Amanda Mac Innis is using her experience in the fishing and farming industries to bring fresh product from farm to food truck. With Tiffany Gallant as her right hand lady, you can look forward to some great roadside meals this season! Some local Farm's that you can expect to see featured on our menu:
Scenic Valley Farm
Wild Roots Farm
GlenRyan Farms
Hillshore Farm
Aw Shucks Oysters

Another exciting update! Here’s a little Backroads Bistro throwback that we’ve revamped at the GrooveBox. A vegetarian version of the original pulled bbq chicken waffle sandwich. The BBQ “Jack” sandwich is vegetarian but you would be completely fooled. Jackfruit marinated and slow cooked to perfection in a house made bbq sauce. With aged cheddar and that same aioli you know and love! If you’re heading to Port Hawkesbury… come check us out @ the GrooveBox on Granville!

Hi folks!

I know it’s been a very long time since we have posted on the Backroads Bistro. Almost a decade!

Well, a lot has changed!

I wanted to reach out and promote a new business venture that is a collaboration between myself and my lovely other half, Damian Phillips (formerly of the Groundswell Pub)… this is the second season of The GrooveBox. Come check us out at our new stomping grounds. You can find us at 300 Granville St in Port Hawkesbury. Bringing you that same food truck vibe right by the waterfront. Amazing coffee and we are super pumped to say that we have brought back the breakfast sandwich! It has been too long.

You may even see a familiar face as our little Hazel is now serving up coffee, ice cream and more! Feels like we’ve almost come full circle.

We hope to see you soon!

Granville Green concerts are right around the corner! 😎✌🏻☕️🍦

IT'S PARTY TIME!

We are so excited for tomorrow!!! Come one and come all to the opening of the Mabou Community Playground! For those of you who don't know about this, you should check out the "Spark the Spirit" Mabou Community Playground group:
https://www.facebook.com/SparkTheSpiritMabou

Over the past few MONTHS there have been so many awesome community members, mothers, parents, and friends who have done whatever they could to make this playground possible. This week many hardworking men and women have volunteered their time to build an amazing playground outside of the Mabou Arena. Tomorrow Backroads Bistro will be parked alongside the construction, cooking up a storm to feed this hardworking bunch and also to celebrate the opening party! At 2pm we will be serving complimentary kids meals, complimentary coffee for all those mamas and papas, cupcakes, HOTDOGS! and some of our regular menu items. Come join the fun. This is also our LAST DAY of the 2013 season and what better way to finish off then to take part in a celebration of the families and children in our community. This will be one for the books and I cannot wait to see all those smiling faces. See you soon!

And thank you for supporting us!

Love Always,
BRB

This is our last full week and BRB and why not go out with a bang?! The lovely ladies have created this delicious bad boy. A chocolate chunk brownie with honey whipped cream and seasonal preserves. Today we are using a blueberry-black currant jam. We will be selling these beauties throughout September on Saturdays at the marina and Sundays at the market! Yum! Xo
