Dishes mentioned
Amuse-Bouche
It's a puree of root vegetables like turnip, carrot, and potato, with dried kale and tomato oil on top. It tastes like a savory smoothie — really nice.
Fish Toast with Arctic Char and Cod Mousse
This is a fish toast with Arctic char and cod mousse, served with mustard pickles. The mousse is like a cloud — so fluffy — and the pickles bring so much acidity and sourness. It's a perfect combination. The pickles taste like my nanny's pickles.
Jiggs Pakora
This is a creative dish — Jiggs dinner turned into pakora. It has salt beef, turnips, carrots, and other vegetables fried up with Indian masala spices. The salt beef is so flaky I didn't even recognize it. Indian-Newfie food — who knew it worked so well together?
Cod with Coconut Curry
Locally caught cod with coconut curry, served with crispy rice and onions. The cod is so flaky — the fork goes right through it. The curry sauce is out of this world — rich coconut flavor. The crispy rice adds a nice crunch. Oh my god, that's good.
Gnocchi with Pickled Partridge Berries
Potato dumplings with a Newfie touch — pickled partridge berries. The gnocchi is really good. For being in the middle of nowhere, the food here is incredible. I wish there was rice on the side though.
