The Loft - Branch

Not only The Loft was open before 11am, but the hostess was very welcoming and fed us a delicious breakfast! This place has gorgeous views from bith sides of the dining room.The set-up looks nodern, yet cozy and most importantly the food is delicious.Visit it on your way to see the Northern Gannets.

This restaurant has first the merit of existence in this isolated village of Sainte-Marie Bay. the menu corresponds to what can be found everywhere in Newfoundland and the cod is of course a must for this small fishing port. We caught it with onions, it was excellent, obviously fresh fish! The setting is pleasant with view on the estuary or the port, with outdoor terrace for beautiful days. in the estuary one can have the spectacle of the isolated horses on the islands by the tide; idem for sheep that can be called "pre-sold" (French will understand). the rest of the village is picturesque with its old houses, its old cemetery, a beautiful discovery in this rather isolated place of the peninsula, to be discovered during a journey to or when the pleasure returns, a small town also nice. Evidently good reception, but everyone is friendly in this region!

My mom, Aunt, husband and I stopped here after going to Cape St. Mary's for an awesome lunch. Their nachos we're smoothed in cheese and the fish and chips were outstanding! Apparently the cod is caught fresh by local fishermen. The prices were very reasonable and our waitress was friendly and attentive.

Stopped in here for a quick bite while in Branch visiting Windy Meadows Kennels to see our sons new puppy we will be getting next month. The food was amazing as you can see by the pictures and the price and atmosphere was beautiful. Great friendly staff! Our son loved looking through the windows using the binocular you had on the window ledge - great idea! We will definitely return someday!

Food was okay here fries were great, burger was really good. Every small joint in NL seems to have cod and fried chicken. I chose the latter and it was a bit too greasy for me and not the best. Service was a bit slow. Good otherwise and worth it if you are at the Bird Reserve. Plus FREE Wifi, which is a plus since cell coverage is spotty in the area.
