Earle's restaurant

Located in the charming town of Rocky Harbour, NL, Earle's Restaurant offers a warm and inviting family dining experience that perfectly captures the essence of Newfoundland cuisine. This beloved eatery is renowned for its comforting, home-cooked meals that celebrate the rich local flavors through both traditional and inventive dishes.

At Earle’s, the menu reads like a culinary love letter to the region, with standout offerings such as the hearty Moose Meat Pizza, a unique twist on a classic that delivers bold, meaty richness with every bite. For seafood enthusiasts, their Fish and Chips shine with crispy, golden batter encasing tender, flaky fish — truly a taste of the ocean's freshest catch. The Moose Pie and Moose Burger with Fries bring robust game meat flavors that are both satisfying and unparalleled in their authenticity, while the traditional Jiggs Dinner provides a wholesome and comforting meal steeped in Newfoundland heritage.

Beyond these local favorites, Earle’s treats guests to succulent dishes like Scallops and Shrimps, Bacon Wrapped Scallops, and a luscious, creamy Seafood Chowder — the latter earning high praise from patrons like Marcel Lavoie, who called it “the best we have ever tasted!” The menu also caters wonderfully to those with dietary restrictions, as highlighted in Valerie Sheppard’s review; gluten-free variations, including a pan-fried cod option served with fries, ensure everyone can enjoy the robust flavors of the region.

Desserts at Earle’s are the perfect sweet finish to any meal, with homemade selections such as the tangy and light Lemon Meringue Pie and the uniquely local Cloud Berry and Partridge Berry Pie that bring the taste of Newfoundland's wild berries straight to your palate.

The atmosphere here is unpretentious and family-friendly, accentuated by attentive and friendly service that leaves guests feeling genuinely welcomed. Whether you’re seated with the family or enjoying a casual lunch, the staff’s warmth — from the charming Marsha to other friendly servers — creates a comfortable and relaxed setting perfect for savoring every bite.

Portion sizes are generous, with prices that make indulging in local specialties even more appealing, as noted by Livvy Star.
