Food gives time and space to share ideas and make connections.
Dinners MUST Be Booked in Advance
The Keeper’s Kitchen does NOT operate like a restaurant even though we are a fully licensed establishment.
Due to our intimate setting (max of 10 persons) and isolated location, reservations are a must if you wish to join us for our 3-course gourmet-style evening meal. We accept reservations from house guests as well at times, a few spaces from the general public.
​
Dinner is served Tuesday to Saturday at 6:30pm to ALL guests (unless otherwise notified). We serve a set menu - all guests receive the same dishes or special versions of dishes based on any food allergies or dietary restrictions we have been notified of in advance.
​
The evening meal costs $69.95 + tax per person (see sample menu below). We also offer a wine pairing option with your meal for an extra $45. A limited selection of beers, wines and spirits are also available by the glass/bottle. As per our licensing requirements, any private alcohol must be consumed in your private room only.
A generous full cooked breakfast is included with your overnight stay.
We do NOT serve lunch, but a packed lunch can be prepared if given 1 week advance notice.
As your hosts (and chefs) we take you on a food adventure. that is inspired by the wild terrain, the rhythm of the seasons, the catch from local fishermen and the produce of local harvesters. Food is a creative canvas to share our Newfoundland and Norwegian cultures as well as our many travels and international food experiences - all of which have influenced our style of cooking. ​
​
We make everything from scratch and try our very best to accommodate food allergies and most dietary restrictions, given we have enough advance notice..... which is VERY important because we do not have easy access to grocery stores or food suppliers.
We are both seasoned cooks and major foodies who love creating new twists on familiar dishes as well as developing upscaled versions of old favourites.
Having collectively travelled to over 120 countries, we're deeply influenced and inspired by the different foods, flavours and presentations we've experienced over the years. Italian cuisine is one of our favourites, so it shows up frequently.
​
Equally as important as culinary creativity is our commitment to sustainability. Therefore, we seek local sources for as many ingredients as possible.
​
We look forward to welcoming you to our table.
