We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Bacalao. Our waiter, Kenny, was very knowledgable about the menu and was a gracious host. Our food was excellent, but for the one minor complaint that my wife thought her cod was a touch overdone. Other than that, we would definitely return here and highly recommend this restaurant

We dined here with friends from the area & really enjoyed the whole experience including the quality of the food & wine , atmosphere & the great service. The food has been described as being "Newfoundland with a twist" & that's pretty much what it was including great dishes such as Fliipper Pie , Moose & Lobster. You can tell... More

Had lunch with friends, had the croquet misses - a ham and cheese sandwich on locally made bread dipped in egg and fried...with a great creamy chowder with large chunks of fresh seafood.

We dined at the Bacalao last night, the food was delicious but I firmly believe $12 for a glass of wine is over the top, it was just ordinary wine, no special order.

I went here with my parents and grandmother for brunch a few weekends ago. I had heard from some friends that they served a really good brunch, and I was not disappointed! The food was very fresh with a creative twist off traditional Newfoundland food. Even my grandmother raved about the place, and she is the pickiest eater I know!... More
