“There aren’t any good restaurants in Corner Brook” I was told before coming here to Newfoundland. Well, I can now prove that statement wrong. For lunch today we decided to check out a small bistro that I’ve been eyeing since I got here. Sitting pretty on one of the one way downtown streets, the Bay [...]
Nova Scotia
Restaurant at Cape Chignecto Provincial Park, NS

Sitting right on the [...]
