STAVANGER DRIVE LOCATION Writing about chain restaurants is always a little difficult because it is what you’d expect it to be, and nothing really stands out. This experience was no different. I didn’t get a picture of the interior, but just imagine a log cabin with big wooden tables and that’s pretty much it! We [...]
After a not so great experience here last year (before I started the blog, but you can find my little review on my Trip Advisor account @tastyytravels if you’re curious), I was a little hesitant to bring my mom and stepdad here during their last visit. The whole idea of this blog is to help [...]
After the 4 hour drive back from Eastport, NL, the last thing I wanted to do was go to a grocery store to get stuff to make lunch. We had heard about / saw an advertisement for it on the highway, of this little British place called The Guv’nor Inn. They also have a British [...]
After a beautiful hot and sunny summer day at one of the few sandy beaches in Newfoundland, my partner and I decided to take a break from cooking and went for a little drive around the area we were staying and came across Stone Jug. We were a little late for lunch but a little [...]
Stellar Kitchen is the restaurant in the Clarenville Inn, off of the TCH in Clarenville. My partner and I vacation in the Terra Nova Park area every summer, and Stellar Kitchen is a good pit stop about halfway between the park and town. I dined here twice over last summer season and both times they [...]
The White Caps Cafe is in the small town of Glovertown which is approximately 3 hours from downtown St. John’s. My partner and I visited this restaurant for lunch while on vacation in Burnside, NL. The dining room is quite small, and the decor is very country cabin style. There were some nice pieces of [...]
Merchant Tavern, located in Downtown St. John’s is part of the Raymonds Restaurant Group which also owns the award winning Raymonds. Chef Jermey Charles is one of the masterminds behind both establishments. If you haven’t heard of him, I highly recommend googling him to take a look at his culinary journey. Chef Charles was featured [...]
The Ship Pub is a small hole in the wall off of Duckworth Street in Downtown St. John’s. Appearance wise, it is kind of creepy. To be honest, if I wasn’t told that the new chef there is amazing, I probably would not have gone in for lunch. It doesn’t give a welcoming image of [...]
The Grounds Cafe is located in Murray’s Premises on Portugal Cove Road, approximately 15 minutes from downtown St. John’s. It is a beautifully bright and vibrant room, filled with lots of plants of all sizes. I’m new to owning and caring for plants, and I quickly became obsessed. Whenever I walk into the cafe it [...]
Classic Jack Astors experience for lunch on this day. Nothing really stood out which makes it both boring, and difficult to write a blog entry about so I’ll keep it quick and to the point. This location of Jacks is right downtown St. John’s backing onto the harbour. It offers nice views of the water [...]
