2: The Captain’s Table
It’s not fair to judge all restaurants by their fish and chips, but if you did The Captain’s Table restaurant just outside of Witless Bay in Mobile Newfoundland would come out as the clear winner. The Captain’s Table also specializes in gluten-free options making it a great place to eat for everyone. With a varied menu, vegetarian options, great sit-down service, and tasty desserts, it’s easy to eat here more than once.
3: The Fork Restaurant
In the middle of the Witless Bay Marine Ecological Reserve is Fork Restaurant, a total foodie pleaser. Fork Restaurants brings true classic Newfoundland food and fuses it with the best locally sourced ingredients and seasonally appropriate pairings. A meal at Fork is an experience. If you want to eat at Fork be sure to make a reservation since space is limited, especially for events like the forager’s supper where you get to learn about foraged food and eat things you may have never tried before. If you like trying new things and adore food that’s healthy and tasty, Fork Restaurant is perfect for you.
4: Jigger Restaurant
The Jigger Restaurant is currently open and offering tasty traditional Newfoundland take-out food. As we type this blog post about restaurants in Bay Bulls and the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, there’s a line up of locals looking for a feed of wings, fish and chips, burgers, and pea soup, which we highly recommend.
5. Tim Horton’s
If you’re like most Newfoundlanders, you only have one good arm in the morning because, in the other hand there’s a cup of coffee, and the most popular place in Canada to get a cup of coffee is Tim Horton’s.
Located just north of Witless Bay at the turn-off to Witless Bay Line, Tim Horton’s is a great place to grab a coffee, pastry, or sandwich to go.
6: Irish Loop Coffee House
Looking for a sit-down breakfast place with a tea room vibe and ocean view? The Irish Loop Coffee House is a nice place to have breakfast, drink coffee, and catch up on the latest gossip.
