    the front of a brick building

    Compared to Ches' (the local standard) a darker, heavier oilier fry. Not necessarily bad, but different. Maybe even a nice change of pace if you're used to other chips. Less ambience than Ches' though, a bit rougher and worn, but still not bad. Feels like a small family-run joint. I'd mainly go if you want a change from your usual fish and chips place, and they also had really good fried scallops last time I was there.

    We came across Inn of Olde on Friday, just down the street from the brewery so stopped in for a…read moredrink. Linda and her late husband, Bobby, opened the restaurant in 1977 to supplement their income from their declining grocery store. As promised, she was full of stories. She's in her late 60s and kept us entertained. The place is overflowing with things Linda has collected and things that have been given to her over the years. There are 1500+ spoons, lots of pictures, army helmets ... you name it! This is a large collection of cards ... not only business cards but driver's licenses, university IDs, etc. Apparently kids stop by after having a few too many and leave their important IDs (because they don't have business cards) under the glass ... they probably don't think it's such a grand idea the next day once they have sobered up. Barb helps Linda out at the bar. She lives down the street and had some great stories too. If you are in the Quidi Vidi area, you have to stop in and visit this place. Linda and Barb are very friendly and it's quite an experience.

    This is a very unique place on Quidi Vidi. It has a real authentic Newfie vibe. You can only see…read moresomething like this either in real time or it's fake on a movie set. This is the real deal. If you want to be screeched in this is the place to do it. Go see Linda the owner and she will set you up. Today, my colleague got "screeched in". This process involves getting a shot of 90% alcohol homemade rum, she brings the frozen puffin which is over 20 years old preserved cryogenic style and you kiss the puffin bum. We watched a young gentleman get screeched in as well and she said "I'm going to have a wet dream about you". You get a signed certificate after issue by the Royal Order. You have to see it to believe it. Screeched ! (Warning this is not the place for the faint of heart)
