Where to Eat: A guide to community dining
Fogo Island is rich with stories, and many of them are told through food.
As part of your stay with us at Fogo Island Inn, we invite you to explore the island’s culinary landscape through our community dining program. When you dine at one of the restaurants or cafes below, simply leave your name and room number, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Because many of the restaurants on Fogo Island operate seasonally, we recommend asking our Front Desk team for current hours of operation.
Bangbelly Bistro
Operates seasonally
Offering multi-course dining, Chef’s menus, and a curated cocktail list, Bangbelly has been operating in the community of Fogo since 2018. The restaurant is helmed by Chef Ian Sheridan, who first moved to Fogo Island to work as a sous chef at Fogo Island Inn.
Cod Jigger Diner
Open year-round
Located in the centre of Fogo Island, the Cod Jigger Diner offers classic pub fare: burgers, sandwiches, fish and chips, along with heartier meals and all-day breakfast options. Their cozy interior features dining tables inspired by the traditional fish-splitting tables found in stages across outport Newfoundland.
Vanessa’s Take-out and Convenience
Operates seasonally
Serving no-frills local favourites, Vanessa’s Takeout is located in the community of Seldom. Think golden fries, crispy chicken fingers, and hearty burgers – all made to order and perfect for a casual bite.
The Storehouse Restaurant
Operates seasonally
Celebrating locally grown, fished, and hunted ingredients, The Storehouse is in Joe Batt’s Arm, a short walk from the Inn. Here, seafood, berries, and root vegetables take centre stage alongside cozy favourites like fish and chips.
During the fall and winter, the restaurant hosts food-related workshops for community members. Previous workshops have included pizza and pasta making for youth, the importance of nutrition and hydration with our local public health nurse, and making holiday-themed appetizers.
