If you’re a seafood lover, you’ve come to the right place. Lobster season varies from year to year and by area, but May to early July are usually great times to score some lobster directly from the local fishermen in both Whiteway and Heart’s Delight-Islington. Lobster pots and tools can be provided upon request at all of our cottages.
If you’re the type that likes to ‘cook their catch’, you might like to participate in Newfoundland’s ‘recreational food fishery’. Again, summer and fall dates vary by year, but we can help hook you up with local fishermen if your dates of your visit line up with this year’s season!
If the last thing you want to do is cook on your vacation, no worries. Our Whiteway cottages are just a few steps away from Brown’s Restaurant, and their newly opened The Flake Lounge & Eatery. Try their fish and chips or pan fried cod – you won’t be disappointed. They also feature live local entertainment and are a favoured local watering hole.
Not far away in scenic Dildo, one of our favourite spots is Dildo Dory Grill. A casual pub-style restaurant situated right on the fisherman’s wharf. Enjoy great views, fresh-caught seafood and friendly service from the Waterfront deck or dining room. Featuring hand-cut homemade fries and the BEST fish & chips in the Avalon!
While in Dildo, sample a ‘beer flight’ at Dildo Brewing Company & Museum, a recently opened craft beer pub with good beer and great views, indoors and out.
In nearby Green’s Harbour, romantics and foodies rave about their experiences at Secret Garden Restaurant at The Doctor’s House. Reservations recommended, and while there, say hello to the sheep, goats, and Newfoundland ponies for us!
Also in Green’s Harbour, Jigs and Reels is another great place to rub elbows with the locals and see some great local music.
Every cottage is outfitted with a Guest Info. Binder with all kinds of other options. If there’s anything we can do to make your visit memorable, all you need do is ask.
