Chef/Owner Mark McCrowe was raised in Quidi Vidi Village, aka “the gut” where fishing was a way of life. From his mom’s kitchen to his first cooking gig at the age of fifteen, Mark knew cooking was in his blood. He traveled to B.C. for his culinary training but then, as most Newfoundlanders yearn to do, he returned home. His food reflects that same passion and tenacity. It, like Mark, has a real sense of place.
Whether its a charcuterie platter centred on local rabbit terrine; butter-seared lobster and chorizo, home fries, Quebec Bergeron cheese and bisque gravy, otherwise known as “lobster poutine” or a full-fledged Newfoundland moose burger, Chef McCrowe’sfood voice is strong and true. We are looking forward to his new in-house oyster bar.
He writes: “local and sustainable are important for our kitchen as it produces the best results for our customers and our province.”
