Chef Jason Lynch divides his time between Nova Scotia’s fantastic winery/restaurant Le Caveau at Grand Pré and the picturesque Newfoundland outport of Norris Point where, as chef/consultant for the inn’s Black Spruce dining room, his touches are evident.
With co-chef Joy Newman, the seafood chowder is laden with local fish, shellfish and good
smoked bacon then enriched with crème fraiche and a mirepoix of Newfoundland vegetables. In the springtime the beef tenderloin is accompanied with fiddleheads and fresh asparagus. They make snow crab gnocchi with wild chanterelles. There’s a braised Maritime beef brisket served with colcannon and caramelized squash and his crisp-skinned Asian-style pork belly is served with wilted greens and blackstrap molasses, another traditional regional ingredient.
Wild-harvested partridgeberries, called lingonberries in other nations, find their way into puddings and as a sauce for
panna cotta.
Neddie’s Harbour Inn is a small, personally operated hotel in the heart of Gros Morne National Park. It’s quintessential Newfoundland! The inn is situated on the Bonne Bay fiord with a panoramic the view of Long Range Mountains and the Tablelands.
You could immerse yourself for weeks in the coastal culture that permeates the region or use it as a base to explore the Great Northern Peninsula.
