Food Scene
The Captain's Table is less than a 5 min drive from the guesthouse and a great place to eat. We really enjoy the fish and chips with house tartar sauce and, in general, all their seafood. Be sure to leave room for desert, the chocolate lava cake is amazing.

Want to explore further down the Southern Shore? If so be sure to stop into "In Da Loop", a local restaurant in Fermeuse. This is a great place to grab some homemade style food in a pub atmosphere.

When craving a moose burger, the Riverside Restaurant and Lounge is always satisfying. Our favorite is the classic moose burger platter. You can eat your burger in the restaurant, outside on a deck overlooking the ocean, or take it to go and eat it on the fisherman's wharf just down the lane from the restaurant.

If you're looking for a local breakfast joint, the Irish Loop Coffee House is a perfect fit. Get all the classic breakfasts cooked to perfection, and enjoy good coffee and tea inside the restaurant or outside on their deck overlooking Witless Bay. PRO TIP: What a lot of people don't know is that the Irish Loop Coffee House turns into a pop-up restaurant some evenings called "Fork" - it's not listed in most tourist guides but is always packed with foodies whenever they're open. We highly suggest you visit "Fork" for supper one evening during your stay.
