Newfoundland & Labrador
It's no surprise that St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador's capital city, is filled with great restaurants. And that seafood is an essential ingredient of the Newfoundland experience. What visitors find out fast, though, is that this wonderful part of Canada is steeped in history that is kept alive and well through food and song. Largely settled by immigrants from the British Isles, the engaging Newfoundland accent makes it clear where their ancestors came from.

And Newfoundland's sea faring history and culture is found in the hundreds of tiny fishing villages spotting its rocky, rugged coast. For a truly unique Newfoundland experience try the Ferryland Picnics Lighthouse. Fully restored, circa. 1870, customers pick up a picnic and a blanket, with which they can wrap themselves as they lie on the grass, nosh and take in the spectacular coastline vistas. A trip out to Qidi Vidi village reveals what a real authentic fishing community used to be like. Restaurants like the Stagehand take you back in time, while serving delicious gourmet meals overlooking the picturesque village harbour.

Then again, you can go inland to Cornerbrook and the Carriage House Restaurant, in the beautiful and stately Glynmill Inn for genuine Newfoundland cuisine.

Like its people, Newfoundland cuisine is unique. Cod tongue, Jiggs Dinner, screech rum pie, salt fish cakes, scrunchions, bakeapple and partridge berries and so much more. And it's all waiting for you, along with the world famous Newfoundland hospitality that can't be matched.
