Some people say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, we like to think it’s also one of the most delicious. For a decadent start head to Blue on Water for their Mother’s Day Brunch. Fit with the popular Lobster Eggs Benedict, this dish sounds “deceptively simple, but bursts with flavours not found in your average neighbourhood restaurant”. At Blue on Water you are guaranteed to enjoy both Newfoundland and International fare that showcases local ingredients whenever possible, and that includes freshly caught lobster.

“Wow, it’s good to be back! I’ve been gone since 2012, but the quality of the food is as good as I remember it! I had the mussels to start and they were monstrously beautiful. The Duck BLT and ceaser salad was a cut above. The folks are great, the drinks are full and the food is awesome.”

What others had to say:
“Great food. I had the moose burger and my boyfriend had the steak and chips. Bartender was a doll and ended up providing our table service as well. He was very nice and friendly. There was live music. Didn’t just play classic jigs and the like, but a good variety of music. Folk songs, Springsteen, and more. I was steady singing. So glad we ended up here.”
