Twine Loft Dining

Excellent fixed menu…we had a choice of chicken or salmon and we both chose the chicken because we liked the potato option that came with the chicken better. The chicken had a fantastic spice rub, was perfectly cooked, and finished with a blueberry sauce. Appetizer was a choice of zucchini soup or a salad. We got both and both were excellent. Wine list was extensive for such a remote location.

Visited beautiful Trinity with my 85 year old mother and aunt in late June 2025 and made sure to make a reservation at the Twine Loft. Simply put, it was a lovely experience. Right from the conversation about our dining party preferences, I knew it would be wonderful. The atmosphere is simply delightful (if the weather permits take in pre dinner drinks on the waterfront deck). Service was friendly, attentive and professional. And the food was delicious, whether it was the sweet potato and apple soup, the mixed greens with apricots, the pork or salmon entree, or the bread pudding with rum sauce - nothing was left on our plates. Yum, yum, yummy! Highly recommend if you are in the Trinity area (and I’d suggest making reservations early).

An absolutely amazing experience. The food tasted well with all the senses. It looked wonderful, you could smell it before you even entered the restaurant. And the taste to die for. The service was wonderful, Glenn made us fell comfortable from the moment we walked in the door, until the we left. We enjoyed it so much the first time, we were lucky enough that the had availability the next day. Highly recommend eating here if you are in Trinity.

This is a wonderful dining experience. Don’t expect to get in and out in an hour though, the meal with all its courses takes 2 hours. Highly recommend going early for cocktails on the deck!!!

Our dining experience at Twine Loft was absolute perfection. We had made reservations in advance, and received excellent communication via email about our upcoming dining. The day before we were emailed our 2 options to choose from. My husband chose the pork with the rhubarb chutney and I chose the cod with walnuts. The day of, we arrived 45 minutes early and enjoyed drinks in the sunshine on the deck overlooking the water. At 5:15 we came inside. We started off with bread and herbed butter, and then were given an option of a soup or salad for appetizer. The soup was apple parsnip - which I never would have thought of as a combo, but was amazing. We then had mains, followed by a Newfoundland Spice Cake with a screech sauce. Absolutely every bite of our meal was exquisite. It is simple Newfoundland ingredients, prepared perfectly. The service was excellent - warm and welcoming from beginning to end. I would highly recommend dining here.

This dinner was one of the highlights of our trip! We had eight of us so we got to dine privately as a group upstairs. It ended up being a rainy/cloudy evening so we couldn’t do pre dinner drinks on the deck as we intended, however it actually added to the cosy and comfortable ambience perfectly. Service by Roseanne was exceptional, so friendly, we had a great time with her :) Food was incredible, I had the vegetarian option which was delicious but the rest of the group drooled over their cod and pork options too. Shared some bottles of wine and finished with delicious ginger cake (which we were too full for but forced down anyway because it was that good). Highly recommend booking a dinner here! Thank you to the staff for making this such a lovely experience.

If you visit Trinity, Newfoundland, please be sure to make reservations for the Twine Loft. I have travelled around the world and Cecilia, their chef is incredible. The food was epic, the service team fabulous! We went back over and over. Please do not miss this divine restaurant.

Our table of 4 had a perfect experience. We got lucky with weather and enjoyed a drink on the patio overlooking the ocean. There is such a sense of community while people wait to get seated. The service, food and ambience were excellent. I am glad that we booked well in advance and secured a table.

Gayle and I enjoyed one dinner and 2 breakfasts at the Twine Loft Restaurant during our 2-night stay at the Artisan Inn. The closest experience I can think of after spending a really nice weekend in Trinity was maybe Mendocino, but without the tourist hordes. The Twine Loft Restaurant was very charming, with stellar down home service, and delicious food options that the kitchen was happy to tweak. We both enjoyed the rustic modern dining room, the romantic ambiance, and the view of the water through the window. Our only regret here was that the weekend we were here was cold and foggy, so there was no real sit on the deck at sunset (or sunrise) option. Dinner was extra special at a fixed price of $65 plus beverages. Gayle chose the Moroccan Lamb Shank with Yogurt Mint Sauce (served with Lemon Herb Israeli Pearl Couscous and Roasted Vegetables), while I went for the Atlantic Salmon with Mango & Pickled Onion Salsa (served with lemon roasted potatoes and roasted vegetables). We shared that an a nice bottle of Canadian wine.

Excellent food, with price fixe 3-course dinners and a la carte breakfasts. Nice wines, too. Staff is very attentive and friendly. The setting is a renovated fishing shack, and is now very nice. The outdoor deck for drinks is lovely, right on the water. Highly recommended. Reservations needed for dinner.

We had a wonderful dinner the Twine Loft this evening. Moroccan Lamb shank for me and Atlantic Salmon with a Mango salsa for my wife. Both were prepared perfectly, served in a small charming space over two floors with beautiful views of the bay and village of Trinity, which itself it not to be missed if visiting Nfld. The main floor guests see the food being prepared in the open kitchen The service was impeccable and friendly and the drinks on the deck beforehand are a must do. Highly recommended and we will absolutely be back.

Great night out with a beautiful sunset to watch while having drinks on the patio. Service was great and so was the food. I enjoyed watching the chef prepare the courses as they went out.

Great location and place. Stunning view from back deck and they even provided us blankets while we had our delicious cocktails outside. Service is exceptional & they provide a great experience.

What a beautiful spot. Found this place by accident on a day trip from St John's. They had a cancellation and fit us in. The cottage was rustic and very pretty with a beautiful deck overlooking the cove. Meals at the Inn were delicious.

Very charming restaurant in a out-of-the-way place. Food was good, service was excellent. $$$$ would be more appropriate.

Lovely spot for cocktails on the deck or for dinner. Be sure to make a reservation if you're in town. The couple that run the restaurant are wonderful

Beautiful view from this lovely dining room in Trinity. Reserve in advance when you will be asked to make your choice of entree for your three course dinner. They were able to accommodate my need for gluten free food including providing gf rolls to go with the salad! Service was impeccable. I am only sorry we did not eat here both nights in Trinity

Fabulous setting on the water, wonderful people and the food, you won't find any better. If you come to Trinity, my favorite vacation ever, this is the place. We stayed in a heritage house circa 1840 owned by the Artisan Inn and dined on four courses each night at the Twine Loft which has an amazing sommelier, Marieke (hope I spelled that correctly.) Enjoy. The charms of Trinity will steal your heart.

My wife and I were married in Trinity, NL this summer. It was an intimate affair with 26 of us all staying at B&B's in the village. For our wedding dinner, rather than catering, etc, we took those that could attend dinner to the Twine Loft. Each course was masterfully executed, the flavours were amazing! Service was professional and attentive very friendly as you would expect. Now, the setting of this beautiful little restaurant is something that you have to take in. Waterfront view, heritage houses all around... Aaaaah.
