Pier 39 Restaurant
Pier 39
A small seaside spot on Main Street that cooks everything fresh from scratch each day. The menu changes with the day's catch, and the seafood chowder has an excellent reputation.
Located at 39 Main Street in Twillingate and opened in 2018, this restaurant has about 410 Tripadvisor reviews and a 4.6 rating, placing it among the best in town. There is no deep fryer, and everything is made from scratch every morning. There is no fixed menu, as dishes change with the day's fresh ingredients, so the selection is limited. The most praised dish is the seafood chowder, which many diners enjoy at lunch with freshly baked croissants. Many call it the best bowl of their Newfoundland trip. Other options include lobster rolls, croissant seafood rolls and a lobster meal, and gluten-free options are offered. The chowder often sells out in peak season, so arrive early. The average spend is about CAD 30 or less per person.
Opening hours
Roughly daily 12:00–20:00 (other sources say 11:30–21:00); call ahead to confirm off-season hours
