Lightkeepers Café
Lightkeepers Cafe
A seafood restaurant opened in 1993 in the former lightkeeper’s house at Fishing Point, overlooking Iceberg Alley, where icebergs and whales are often visible.
Located at 21 Fishing Point Road in St. Anthony, it opened in 1993 in the former lightkeeper’s house and is run by a local family. Iceberg Alley is right outside the window, so diners often spot whales while they eat. Signature dishes include seafood chowder, salt cod cakes (the owners say The Globe and Mail rated them the best fish cakes in Atlantic Canada), fried cod tongues, and snow crab. The longhouse out back hosts the Great Viking Feast, a Viking-themed buffet dinner. It ranks No. 1 in St. Anthony on TripAdvisor. It is often full in peak season, so reservations are recommended. Mains cost about CA$19–40.
