If you are looking for the friendliness of Newfoundland locals and outstanding food, this is the place to find it! The food (salmon) was served up hot & fast by cast and crew of the dinner theatre, and then we were entertained exuberantly by their talents and humour on the guitar, accordion, fiddle, banjo, tin whistle, the spoons and “Ugly Stick”! This local group communicates the passion of the people of Newfoundland with sincere songs and music perfectly to tourists who have “Come From Away!” Highly recommended!

Who knew? We didn't!! Stopped in for a taste and tour. They do charge for the tasting but very knowledgeable hosts kept us in informed as to what was popular and not. We wound up buying a case to have shipped home to Alberta (free shipping) and it arrived about 2 weeks later, with no issues or damage. Shared a couple bottles of wine with our family for Thanksgiving dinner the following week, and will share a couple more for Christmas. Lots of souvenirs to choose from as well. Highly recommend

The museum is perched on the top of a hill overlooking the picturesque town of Durrell. It provides a panoramic view overlooking the ocean and a photographer's paradise viewing and photographing majestic icebergs as they pass through Iceberg Alley. The museum houses Officers and Lads ALB uniforms, rifles (surplus from the Boer War, and the First and Second World Wars), brass band instruments and community artifacts depicting the way of life of a typical outport fishing settlement from the late 1800's and the early 1900's. Also featured is a mounted Polar Bear exhibit and recently added Great Auk exhibit. Locally hand made crafts, quilts and knitted items for sale in renovated gift shop. Free Wi-Fi.

We especially liked this museum for all the history about the RCMP, the Great Auks, the fishing villages and the polar bear that came into town!
