This is for people that like well prepared food that is satisfying and delicious without being over the top. The dishes we had reminded us of our favorite restaurants in Portland Oregon in the 1990s. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and worth traveling to. The oysters were so fresh. The pickled white asparagus addictive. The cod tongues so light. My pesto pasta much less heavy than most versions. Great service and killer bread pudding. If I lived in the area, I'd eat here weekly.

Hidden gem on the Irish Loop! So happy to have discovered this fantastic dining experience in…read moreMobile, NL. After a long day of driving around the south end of the Avalon peninsula, needed to stop for sustenance on our return to St. John's. Cocktails were fresh and fabulous with local flair. We opted for a tapas style dinner from the appetizer menu. Oysters were fresh and delicate, with specially prepared dressings, salted cod fritters were light, creamy and melt in your mouth. The peach and tomato, prosciutto, buttermilk, with chimichurri salad was a fresh and original option. The scallops were served in a creamy but light corn chowder like sauce, and were perfectly cooked. Save room for dessert, especially if the brown sugar cake with brûléd banana and caramelized hazelnut is on the menu. So much flavour ! High end quality in a bright , relaxed setting with a beautiful view.

The cafe itself is quintessential Newfoundland simplicity. A must stop on the Irish Loop. Less than 20 minutes from St. John's...if you don't get lost. Most folks here come from town.

International friends, the coffee is rich, aromatic, but not overly bitter or acidic. Perfect mix to settle in either indoors or at one of a few tables outside, and enjoy a weekend afternoon.

Parking was tight but we squeezed in. I ordered the soup of the day and a fish cake. Both were…read morefresh and delicious. Both had a homemade taste and texture to them. I really liked the fish cake but one is never enough. It was mostly fish rather than the other stuff. I recommend both the soup and especially the fish cakes ($4.49 each in 2023). There is free WiFi so you can browse through your phone rather than talking to your guests if so desired. It's quite large inside so even if the parking lot is full there probably a table waiting for you. Washrooms were large and clean. The service was genuine and pleasant. We ordered dessert which we rarely do but the descriptions were enticing. I felt compelled to taste at least one of them. I really can't think of any negatives. Even the prices were quite reasonable. Well they were a bit high for the dessert but that's to discourage excessive eating. . If you are reading this you've probably already decided to eat here so enjoy.

There is secure WiFi although it seemed to have difficulty reaching the deck. If you walked to Signal Hill you should stop at the Battery Cafe because you'll walk right past it and you deserve it. The Newfoundland sundae with jam and ice cream is worth ordering on a warm day.
