🍽️🍽️ Mallard Cottage | St. John’s Must-Visit Gem 📍 Location & Vibe Nestled beside Quidi Vidi Brewery, this 200-year-old saltbox house oozes maritime charm: • Atmosphere: Crackling wood stove + fishing nets as decor • Best Seat: Chef’s Counter (watch them grill over open fire) • Soundtrack: Traditional Newfoundland folk tunes Pro Tip: Post-meal, grab a Iceberg Beer next door – brewed from 20,000-year-old glacier water 🍴 Dish-by-Dish Review 1. Salt & Vinegar Mackerel ($24) 🐟 • Star Ingredient: Local rock samphire (foraged seaweed-like herb) • Sauce: Oyster cream + lemon zest foam • Texture: Crispy skin → buttery flesh Why It Shines: Like eating the Atlantic coast in one bite 2. Halibut Cheeks ($28) 👅 • Prep: Sous-vide then seared in brown butter • Sides: Fermented turnip purée + dulse flakes • Local Twist: Served on a hot volcanic stone 3. Lobster Thermidor ($42) ❌ • Issue: Over-baked (claw meat = chalky) • Saving Grace: Tarragon breadcrumbs add crunch 📊 Menu Highlights Dish Rating Notes Cod Tongues 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Best with screech mayo Moose Sausage 🌟🌟🌟 Gamey but juicy Partridgeberry Tart 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Tart + sweet cream Verdict: Go for seafood, skip fancy lobster 💡 Insider Tips 1. Booking: Reserve "Forager’s Table" for wild ingredient tastings 2. Timing: 5-6pm = sunset over fishing stages 3. Secret Order: Seal Flipper Pie (call 24hr ahead) Regret: Missing the caribou stew (winter-only) NewfoundlandEats #SeafoodLover #HistoricEats
