Quidi Vidi Village · St. John's, NewfoundlandA heritage cottage in Quidi Vidi, a wood-fired kitchen, and whatever the island gives us this week.
A new expression of Newfoundland cooking
About
An old cottage, a living table
Since 2013
Mallard Cottage sits in one of the oldest wooden buildings in North America, at the edge of Quidi Vidi harbour. We brine, cure, smoke, pickle and preserve what the land, the cold water and our neighbours bring to the door.

Our food is rooted in Newfoundland and the ways people have cooked here for generations. We brine, cure, smoke, pickle and preserve, using locally sourced ingredients whenever we can.
