I ordered veggie chili, which came with rice and tasted hot and good. Just what I needed after eating bread for multiple days. My husband got a veggie pizza, which was freshly made and good. For the next day's hike, we also ordered egg salad sandwiches, which were decent too. Mind you, because not many restaurants here have a variety of options like these guys, and they are open till late, they are jam-packed most of the time. Wait times are crazy. We had to wait close to an hour to get our food, and even paying the bill at the end took a while. The line was huge and draining. If time is not a problem, then this is the place to be. I would surely go back to eat here, as they have plenty of options even for vegetarians.

We were here for dinner and mainly come for the cod tongue on their menu. This dinner restaurant…read moredoesn't take reservation and it's first come first served. We were seated shortly after arrival. For dinner, we ordered cod tongue dinner, house salad, BLT sandwich and mozzarella sticks. The salad was just ordinary with nothing special out of expectations. We were provided with bagged salad sauce to mix ourselves. The BLT sandwich was good. My favourite was the mozzarella sticks and the cod tongue. The moz sticks were having the right level of breading. The cheese was still connected when you tried to bite through which implies the dish was cooked with perfect temperature. The cod tongue was not served with big portion but was flavourful. There's not much service throughout the dinner. You need to really get the server's attention coz they are so busy. Expect $40+ per person for dinner here.

It's located right off the main road with a good sized parking lot. There's a single but large and clean washroom next to the eating area. I enjoyed the Crab Cakes. They are especially good with the home made pickles (looks like relish). The Thai Wrap was a very good price at $11.99 and was good but not outstanding. Service was very friendly with a strong Newfoundland accent (we were all called "darling" at least once. This is a fine choice for small appetites and quick but quality food. If I didn't live 4,000km away I would return someday but that's not likely for us. I should point out that it's definitely not wheelchair accessible.

You can see mountain view from one side of the restaurant and nice view of the bay on the other side. I would suggest to make reservations coz it's super packed during dinner hours. The servers are busy throughout the meal and it's hard to get them. We tried varieties of the food on the menu and some special items not included in the menu. The appetizers are tasty but main is a bit plain to my taste. - Bread and butter: butter is so soft with nice scent of herbs, bread is also tasty. We found that the bread in Newfoundland is generally more sour than average. - Root vegetable salad: Very creative dish. Varieties of veggie include squash and carrot are cut into nice thin pieces. Burnt almond and wild rice were the highlight of the dish. - Mushroom on bread ($22, not on the menu): I really enjoyed the creamy flavour of the mushroom. - Cumen crusted lamb leg with couscous: it was not bad. The meat itself doesn't have much flavour but it goes really well with the sweet sauce. - Cod with sun dried tomatoes: The fish is fresh but overcooked. - Halibut and scallop ($52, not on the menu): Again, everything is fresh but the fish is overcooked and flavoureless. In general, the restaurant has nice dining environment with average service and amazing appetizer dishes. My favourite dish here was the bread and the mushroom on toast.

But we were greeted right away and brought to our table. The menu is broad and offers many of the items you'd expect in rural Newfoundland such as cod and moose burgers.

We shared the mussels as an appetizer, very good. I had the gf cod with mashed potatoes, my wife had scallops. Prices are reasonable but perhaps higher than some other places. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. We were immediately made to feel at home and were checked in on frequently during our meal. Overall a great spot.

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 both wanted to try some local food, and as a vegetarian and a person with a sweet tooth, I wanted to try Toutons. We tried Toutons with Molasses and Partridgeberry Jam. The jam was good, but Molasses seems like an acquired taste. We both couldn't eat it. Not sure if this is how the authentic Toutons and molasses taste as we haven't tried them before. Each plate came with 3 Toutons and trust me one itself felt like a lot as it is just fried dough. The service was nice. They were sweet enough to customize the Toutons and fry them in regular oil instead of pork fat. They also had some homemade jams, souvenirs, and ice creams that they were selling.

The first floor is a really interesting gift shop that has just about everything you could imagine, including ice cream. The restaurant is upstairs, and they do have a small area for outdoor dining. We ate inside at a table by the windows overlooking the bay. The whole interior of this very old building is wood, including seats made out of old barrels. What a great touch! The wait staff was on top of everything, too. We completely underestimated the size of the entrees, as both of us ordered the pan-fried halibut. We both got a monster-size piece of fresh halibut. Both came with a mountain of steamed carrots, some broccoli, and we opted for baked potatoes. Everything here was great, and they did have a fairly good drink menu. We had a couple of the Quidi Vidi Iceberg beers in the cool blue bottles. If you're looking for a good meal to get your money's worth, Old Loft is a great choice.

Homemade meals at their yummiest! My husband and I really enjoyed our meal at the Old Loft…read more The Old Loft is located in Woody's Point, a small town surrounded by Gros Morne National Park, in Newfoundland. We were camping in Norris Point and decided to hike the Tablelands on the other side of Bonne Bay. Driving there took us past Woody Point, so we stopped for lunch. ( You can also take a water taxi from Norris Point to Woody Point and back.) The Old Loft Restaurant is the rope loft of an old restored fishing shed. It's a charming, rustic spot. The dining area is half of the loft, and there are locally made handcrafts on display in the other half. Downstairs, there are more souvenirs and items made by local craftspeople, as well as baked goods for sale. My only two complaints about the restaurant are this: one, there are only windows on the ends, so it's a bit on the dark side (the craft areas are bright). Two, the chairs, made out of barrels, are cute but not overly comfortable. When we walked in, there was a mix of other tourists and locals. Seeing locals is usually a good sign! On to the food. We both had hot turkey sandwiches with fries. I also had dressing and gravy on my fries, a Newfoundland favourite. We split a basket of onion rings. The onion rings were hot, light, crispy, and huge! They were like doughnuts in size, and delicious. Wish I had some now... The fries were hand-cut and cooked just right. The turkey sandwich was open-faced; the turkey piled on top of a thick, delicious slice of homemade bread. Yum! The turkey was topped with gravy and traditional Newfoundland dressing. I loved it. My husband loved his, too, except for the dressing. The dressing was loose breadcrumbs, mixed with melted butter, and flavoured with onion and summer savoury. Not what we're used to, and he doesn't like surprises. Portions are large so no way we could manage dessert! Too bad, I'm sure it was good. Finally, my beverage of choice when eating out is iced tea. For me, a litmus test of a good, casual restaurant is whether or not they make their own iced tea, or just fob off a commercial can or fountain drink on me. Seriously, it's not hard to make iced tea! At minimum, you can brew strong tea, pour it over ice in a glass, and serve the glass with sugar & lemon wedge on the side. It's sooo much better than pre-made. Really. A lot better. A lot. I'm happy to report that the Old Loft not only makes their own, but it was the best I've had dining out: slightly sweet and lemony tart. Yum. Our waitress, the only one working, was friendly, attentive, and happy to join me in a little good-natured ribbing directed at my husband. I may never get back to Newfoundland, but if you go, and you're in the area, I recommend you try the Old Loft.

We ordered their specials of the day, a potato and bacon soup and the Pan Seared NL Cod. Our friend also ordered a plate of muscles.

The plate of cod seemed like a small serving but there was quite a bit in there. I will post a picture of this. 3. I'm not a muscles person but my friend and my husband liked it a lot. I forgot to take a picture of this also but there were lots of muscles on that plate. The prices were on the high side but it was expected because a place that requires a reservation normally is very fancy looking and this place definitely was!
