Captain James Cook Monument
A tribute to James Cook for his work in surveying the region in the mid-1760s, the Captain James Cook Monument , a national historic site, is northwest of downtown. Cook's names for many of the islands, ports and waterways, such as the Humber Arm and Hawke's Bay, remain today. While the clifftop monument is admirable, it's the panoramic view over the Bay of Islands that is the real payoff. The route here is convoluted, but well-marked.

Gitano's
Behind Thistle's and owned by the same family, Gitano's dishes up Spanish-themed mains such as estofado (stewed sweet potatoes, chickpeas and figs over couscous), tapas (try the Newfie shrimp rolls) and pastas. Live jazz wafts through on weekends.

13 West
Inventive meals grace the plates at this bistro, such as linguini smothered in scallops, cashews, curried cream sauce and chutney. The lunch specials (about $11) with dessert are a steal. Vegetarians even get a couple of choices.
