The Merchant Warehouse was definitely the place we had the most fun visiting during our trip to…read moreBonne Bay. We had completed the tough Green Gardens Trail this morning, including a 15-minute stretch of downpour rain. The first thing that came to mind for me was... fish and chips, of course! That, and a couple of really good local beers on tap. We got a tip from another place in this cool little town that The Merchant was a great place to get a beer. They have a fantastic outdoor deck that sits right on the water, too. This was our second visit, so we sat inside at a table by the windows. The fish and chips here was in the top two we had during our entire trip in western Newfoundland. Very lightly battered, light golden cooked to perfection. After burning all those calories, a (true) pint of Quidi Vidi draft and a big order of fish and chips was on the money. Every one of the wait staff here was extremely nice and friendly. I believe my wife whispered to someone that it was my birthday (which it was), so I got a special little cheesecake in a glass with a candle. Then, the owner came over and encouraged the entire dining room to sing a happy birthday for me. What a treat... couldn't have been a much better place to end the day. The Merchant probably ended up being our favorite place for beers and casual food in Bonne Bay. If you're still hungry, they have a great 1950's themed ice cream parlor in the front. We did not opt for the evening of "getting screeched in" that they hold one night a week in the restaurant, but we did hear from others staying at our inn that it involved a lot of singing and drinking cod liver oil on top of the rum!

Free wifi Service: Extremely…read moresweet ladies Food: Below average Prices: Reasonable Me and my husband went here for lunch after our visit to Tablelands, as this town was closer. Giving 3 stars only for the hospitality. Food was below average. Veggie sandwich had 3 small pieces of bell peppers in it, that's it. My partner took a veggie burger, which had just a bun and dry patty. Food was disappointing for sure. Now, coming to the amazing points-They had free Wi-Fi. Amazing service for sure. Extremely sweet people working there. They even do screeching ceremony every week. The place you enter looks so peppy and fun, and the back restaurant has complete cottage vibes, unlike the front part. They were ready to customize the food to veg, which was sweet of them. This review is purely based on a vegetarian point of view. There are not many restaurant options in this town, so definitely worth going if you want good hospitality.

We had a full day of hiking at Cape Blow Me Down and Cedar Cove, and we were ready to eat some good food. Lark Harbour is a tiny little bayside town with small colorful homes dotting the hillside overlooking this scenic setting. As soon as you walk in, you'll see a pool table and a couple of electronic casino games. There's a little bar, and several tables inside the dining room. Where you want to sit here, if the weather cooperates, is outside on the deck. This looks across the deep blue water across to the forested hills of Blow Me Down Provincial Park. What a view. At the same time we arrived, it seems like every local and tourist in the area got there at the same time. They were busy, and they just had one very nice woman waiting tables and (I assume) Mrs. Myrtle was back in the kitchen making all of the incredible food. We went into this place without having any expectations, figuring we'd get some decent fish and chips. The beer selection was mostly just domestic cans and bottles, so we opted for the cool blue Quidi Vidi Iceberg lager bottles. The outdoor deck was full when we arrived, but it opened up right about the time our meal arrived. We learned early on that you should try the seafood chowder at every single place you visit that offers it. On this stop, we almost forgot but I ordered it and we were treated with the #1 favorite during our entire trip. That chowder had huge chunks of lobster, crab, and I'm pretty sure a little salmon. Around the rim were a couple of fresh local steamed mussels. I'm not a big mussel fan, but those were fantastic. The chowder had the absolute best spice combination, and I am thinking they use a bit of paprika to give it this little orange gleam around the outside edge. We also split a fish and chips, and once again that turned out to be the best one we had in our whole trip. They have halibut fish and chips on the menu, but it was not in season on our visit. The staff here is working their tail off, and it may take a little longer if they are very busy. Just be patient, it'll pay off in the end! I can't recommend this place enough.
