2 Best Restaurants in Clarenville, Eastern Newfoundland

This is a little pizza shop that's made a big splash, with stone-baked pizzas with interesting toppings and locally grown or foraged ingredients. This destination eatery is a throwback to the old general store that once occupied the space with retro touches like a tiny black-and-white TV playing cartoons and industrial artifacts on the walls, alongside photos by a local photographer known as "Old Bones." Best not to try calling ahead; this two-person operation is doing a booming business.

This hidden gem may be Newfoundland's best-kept secret. Meals are prepared in the French style and incorporate elements of traditional Newfoundland cooking, using locally sourced ingredients where possible. Reservations are recommended. For guests making a long drive for the evening, rooms are available for overnight stays.
