Sharon's Nook and Tea Room - Grand Bank

What a neat place to find on my road trip! So much character and charm with lovely people running it. Everything was fresh, fairly well priced, and served quickly. Good portions even options for half portions of things, which I appreciated. Loved that the locals congregate here and are welcoming and friendly to those passing through. Many unique things for sale and on display as well. Will definitely be back if I’m in the area again!

Despite the recommendations and reviews, I will not be returning to this restaurant or recommending it. I had the worst Newfoundland cold plate of my life. The turkey was very dry, the potato salads lacked flavor, and the square-cut carrot and beet jelly salad was awful. The cheesecake was okay. I am disappointed as I had expected more from this place.

We stopped in for breakfast after leaving St. Pierre on the 8 am ferry. It was recommended by the person in the St. Pierre Visitor Centre in Fortune. Grand Bank is about a 10 to 15 minute drive from the ferry. A small café popular with locals so you know it is excellent. I had the French toast with hash browns. Delicious and well priced. Lots of items for sale by local craftspeople. Friendly staff.

I had a lovely afternoon cheesecake and coffee at this little spot and later a delicious Cod au Gratin! It’s like a little time capsule inside with dozens of curiosities.

Excellent food! I visited here with a large group! There were 6 adults and 3 kids. It is a small restaurant and was quite busy that day, but one of the employees quickly came and cleared a table for us as soon as they saw us! It has a large menu with a variety of types of food which was very impressive. We ordered many different things: soup, sandwiches, fish cakes, cold plate, nachos scallop casserole. Everyone enjoyed their meal to the full it was absolutely delicious. We also tried a variety of cheesecakes and they were all good! I’ve often heard this place mentioned because of the cheesecake, but don’t be fooled! The regular menu is absolutely delicious as well and you don’t want to miss it!
