4 Best Restaurants in Western Newfoundland, Newfoundland and Labrador

The pleasures of this lively restaurant begin with a stroll past the meticulously kept organic garden. The dinner menu has many seafood options as well as meat dishes and vegan and vegetarian selections. The wines are well chosen and reasonably priced. The restaurant also doubles as a gallery; works by Atlantic Canadian artists (all for sale) decorate the walls. Stop in for a take-away bag at lunch or dine here and enjoy the splendid harbor views.

The high quality of the food and drink here, combined with the remoteness and spectacular view, make a meal at the Norseman one you remember. Expect traditional seafood, with a smart and extensive menu of craft beer, wine, and spirits. Paintings, jewelry, carvings, and children's books are on display and for sale. In July and August, there's live traditional music on Friday evenings starting at 6:30.

The wide-ranging menu at Fisherman's Landing includes plenty of seafood as well as other options like pizza. Both the food and the service here are reliable (and the food is heavily breaded, whenever possible). It can get busy, but you can always browse the crafts shop next door in the liquor store until your table's ready.

The chefs at this two-story restaurant overlooking the ocean prepare fresh seafood in traditional, innovative, Newfoundland style. A perfect meal might start with northern scallops served on greens brightened with deep burgundy partridgeberries, followed by grilled shark. Cod tongues—a secret recipe—are popular and offered throughout the season, and the ocean catfish is also highly recommended. The boardwalk is delightful for a stroll before or after you eat, and you can watch the sunset from the upper deck.
