Java Jack's

Gros Morne National Park


Escape the tyranny of fried food and head to Jack's, the outpost for an artsy crowd into locally sourced fare. There's a vintage-but-hip vibe, and Gros Morne's best coffees, wraps and soups by day. At night, the upstairs dining room fills hungry post-hike bellies with fine seafood, caribou and vegetarian dishes. Greens come fresh from the property's organic garden.
