Burin Nl Canada

The Cafe is situated in what was once the downtown area of Burin. It is a charming cafe that focuses on traditional local Newfoundland dishes such as Molasses Baked Beans, Toutons, Fish Cakes, Pan Fried Cod, Turkey or Roast Beef with Dressing & Gravy, Cod Au Gratin, Fish n Brewis, as well as various Soups, Stews, and Chili. However, this cafe also serves as a glimpse into the early history of Burin. The walls and tables are adorned with captivating black and white photographs of Burin from the 1940s to the mid-1950s, showcasing the time when the town thrived as the economic center of the Burin Peninsula. While we came for the food, I found the main course and dessert to be not only tasty but also a nostalgic journey through the town's past. The view of Collins Cove and Ship Cove adds to the cozy atmosphere of the location. During the summer, guests can enjoy a cold drink on the deck overlooking the inner harbor, where Holletts & Sons once operated their wharf and sheds.

We stumbled upon this charming cafe by chance and were pleasantly surprised by what we found. The cafe offers a splendid view and the wait staff, typical of Newfoundland, is friendly, honest, and helpful. We ordered fish, cod tongues, homemade Newfoundland-style baked beans, and some delicious desserts, all of which were fantastic. We also purchased locally made mustard pickles from the food shelves for sale. Overall, we had a wonderful time and will definitely be returning. Next door, there is a great craft shop in the old bank, and across the road, there is an impressive art gallery.

The pizza at this restaurant is of standard chain quality with options for thin and thicker crusts. They also offer a variety of typical North American and European options to choose from.
