It’s not often that every menu item looks amazing, but at Taste, we wanted to eat everything. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. We had the lobster bisque, beef tartar, Seafood and Leek risotto, and the Seafood Gragada. We also had all three desserts - we couldn’t decide! While we didn’t need any dietary accommodations, the staff/chef were will to make them if needed. Views were beautiful. Best dining experience we’ve had in Newfoundland this far. A true gem in Gros Morne.

While we were attending the Writers at Woody Point Festival, four of us took the opportunity to visit “Taste”, the restaurant in the Gros Morne Inn. It is fabulous!

Before I get into the review, a couple of caveats: 1. The driveway can be a bit challenging due to the high incline and gravel surface. If you’re driving something sporty and low to the ground, you won’t make it. This is an SUV only affair. We arranged a car/taxi so not a problem. 2. BYOW (bring your own wine) this is not a bad thing. There’s a Liquor Express just 2 mins up the road with a good selection. We brought a bottle of champagne; we were celebrating, and champagne does pair nicely with seafood, especially shellfish. We also brought a bottle of white (chardonnay) and a bottle of red (a spicy Shiraz). On with the review.

The restaurant has an amazing view of the stunning Bonne Bay overlooking the community of Woody Point just below the Inn and Norris Point across the bay. In the background is the majestic Gross Morne Mountain. They have a large deck with plenty of seating where you can take in this vista, preferably with a glass of bubbly, before returning inside.

Our appetizers were then ready to be served. I had the nicely plated beef tartare which was very, very tasty. One diner had the Lobster and Shrimp bisque. It was a delicate broth filled with chunks of Newfoundland lobster and perfectly cooked shrimp. The other diners had the Smoked Scallop Salad, which I think was the stand-out appetizer for the evening. The delicate smoke wonderfully complimented the sweet scallop flavour. The plating was stunning with bright pops of colour. I can’t remember all of the mains, but I do recall both of us having the Seafood Gragada. This was a delicious combination of lobster, halibut, shrimp, squid and potato served in a delicate cream herb sauce. We licked the bowls clean! My wife had the Seafood Risotto with scallops, shrimp and crab. Amazing! For dessert, we all ordered the Partridgeberry Crème Broulee. If you have never had Partridgeberries (Lingonberries in Scandinavia), this is the way to enjoy them. They are a very tart berry similar to, but much smaller than a cranberry. It was the perfect blend of tart contrasting the decadent crème Brulee.

This was a delightful meal that would challenge many of the best restaurants.

The service was awesome.
Our food was disappointing. $20 food at $40 price. Risotto was too salty. Chicken dish very plain. Salad was nice.

BEST food on the west coast of Newfoundland hands down. Incredible Risotto. They had this mezze plate that was also truly outstanding. DEFINITELY give this place a visit if you're in the area. Staff is warm and welcoming as well. They were very accommodating with my million questions about dietary restrictions too!

My husband and I stumbled on this place after a long day of hiking in Gros Morne - we’re so happy we did. The food was delicious (we had the shrimp and lobster mille-feuille; risotto with lobster, scallops and shrimp; beef tenderloin; and chocolate creme brûlée), the staff are lovely and the view was gorgeous. Definitely recommend.

The Taste restaurant was one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. We ended up going twice in 1 week and being amazed by the food both times! Wherever you are staying in Gros Morne make sure to come to dinner here!
