One of the best things to do in St. John’s is to visit the Quidi Vidi Brewery for a Tour and Beer Tasting. For $10, you get the brewery tour and beer tasting of 5-7 beers.

The tour brings you around the Quidi Vidi Brewery facility to learn about their brewing process. In the tasting, we got to try 5 beers: Eric’s Cream Ale, Iceberg, 1892, Light, and Colonial – a seasonal beer.

This Iceberg beer was my favorite. It’s like drinking sub-zero beer because it’s brewed with 25,000-year-old iceberg water harvested from Newfoundland’s icebergs.

Quidi Vidi Brewery is the first brewery I’ve been with very beautiful scenic surroundings, making it a nice place to take photos and walk around.

It is also close to Mallard Cottage , one of the best restaurants in St. John’s and in Canada! So it will be a great way to hop both places.

The Ultimate Quidi Vidi Newfoundland Travel Guide: See, Do & Eat

Known as “ Newfoundland ‘s prettiest village,” Quidi Vidi is a small fishing village filled to the brim with history and charm. From its colourful houses, idyllic cottages and delightful pubs, it’s a must-see while you’re visiting Newfoundland. Quidi Vidi is a beautiful destination that has had a profound impact on the lives of those who live there. The town of Quidi Vidi is just at your fingertips, being only 10 minutes by car from St. John’s . Making a day in the village an easy day trip from St. John’s . From its rich history and culture to fun fishing attractions and hidden gems, this complete guide will make your trip to Quidi Vidi unforgettable!

Quidi Vidi Battery

The inn by mallard cottage, quidi vidi village plantation, about mallard cottage restaurant.

The name Quidi Vidi is a real mystery. Even locals can’t agree on where the name comes from. Some say it was named by the Portuguese, who called it “ quey de video ,” meaning, “ what a beautiful sight. ” Others claim it’s Latin, since…well it sounds like Latin. There is also a local legend that says it’s named after a hotel bar that once sat on the edge of the lake. The owner of said bar was named “Kitty Vitty” and they went about naming the whole area after her. Up until the 1900s, the area was even written as “Kitty Vitty” on local maps.

However you pronounce it (or spell it), everyone can agree that the history of Quidi Vidi revolves around fishing. In the 1600s, fishermen arrived every Spring to fish the rich sources of cod they found in the area. The fishermen liked to set up small fishing huts on the harbour until the cold weather arrived. They found the harbour at Quidi Vidi to be very inhabitable as its inlet enabled it to be sheltered from the harsh winds. Soon, men began to stay behind to face the cold winter. By staying behind there were able to set up in advance for the fishermen who would arrive come the Spring. These “overwinterers” were some of the first to build homes in the area. Many of these immigrants were from southeast Ireland. But instead of returning home in the spring, they remained forever. Calling Quidi Vidi their new home.

In 1762 the French built the Quidi Vidi Battery . The French were constantly at war with the English, and vice versa. They were in a heated battle over control of the rich fishing waters around Newfoundland. When the French finally departed once and for all, the Batteries all became occupied by the local Newfoundland army. Although it was once a National Historical Museum, the Battery closed in 2011.

Accomodation

Christ church airbnb.

If you can book your stay months and months in advance, there is no better place to stay than at the old Christ Church . The old building has been restored and converted into a stylish Airbnb! The original church was built in 1834. It was designated as a combined church for the Anglicans, Methodists, and Congregationalists who lived in Quidi Vidi. It’s such a wonderful example of the ecclesiastical architecture of the time. The white siding is framed with bright red and green highlights. The stunning bell tower was added in 1890.

The building was sold to the Newfoundland Historic Trust in 1966. Over the years, it served as the town hall, antique store, furniture restorer, and theatrical rehearsal space. It was even used in the first feature film (with sound) made in Canada, called The Viking . It was recently purchased by Aiden and Elizabeth Duff who lovingly renovated to be a magical two-bedroom Airbnb . Is there anything better than staying inside a piece of Newfoundland history? I think not!

$359 / NIGHT

If the Christ Church is booked, consider staying in the charming Inn by Mallard Cottage . Run by the same owners as the famous Mallard Cottage restaurant , two original cottages have been renovated into this incredibly chic hotel. The building now contains seven king suites and one common area/meeting room. Each room is decorated with this perfect blend of bright modern colours and vintage Newfoundland cottage vibes.

$279 / NIGHT

Exploring the Village

Honestly, my favourite part of visiting Quidi Vidi was simply wandering the harbour and hillsides. Soaking in the atmosphere and brightly coloured houses along the harbour is a journey of discovery. Houses on stilts popping out of the water surprise you around the water’s edge. Colourful fishing huts can be spotted a mile away. And old fishing equipment is strewn about like sprinkles on a cake, haphazard but seemingly a method to the madness

Still to this day, the people in the area make their living on the water fishing for cod. Almost any time of day as you explore the village you’ll see fishermen cleaning their lines, bringing in the catch of the day or repairing their boats for the winter.

One of the best ways to get in touch with nature around the village is to go on a hike. The nearby Cuckold’s Cove and Signal Hill Loop is a great introductory trail. It spans 6.9 kilometres and loops up into the hillside and around the Quidi Vidi Lake. It will take about 2-3 hours, depending on your fitness level or how often you stop to take scenic pictures! During the late summer and early fall, there are many berries to be picked along the trail. And in the springtime, it’s a great place to collect wildflowers.

Quidi Vidi Charters

Since Quidi Vidi’s history is steeped in the fishing industry, there is no better way to get acquainted with the waters than on a boat. Where you can try your hand at fishing for yourself! Quidi Vidi Charters takes small groups of people out on the water to teach them the time-old traditions of cod fishing. While out there you’ll also hear charming historical stories and local legends. They run tours from January to September when cod is in season. The tours last about three hours and cost $150 per person. Keep your eyes peeled for whales and seabirds on your journey out on the Atlantic. After bringing in your catch of the day, the guide will even show you how to clean and gut a fish! Plus, you’ll be able to eat your catch right there on the wharf. Nothing could be fresher!

The large yellow trimmed building facing the harbour is the Quidi Vidi Village Plantation . Inside is a collection of local artists who are hard at work on their craft. You can just wander around the halls, watching the amazing creations in progress. But you also can buy some of these awesome handmade creations directly from the artists. It’s a great way to see what local creators are being inspired by here in Newfoundland.

You’ll notice rocks covered in crochet blankets all over the town. They are so adorable to spot along your journey and all the knitting is done right here! As a means to bring visitors into the plantation.

Where to Eat

Mallard cottage.

One of the best ways to start or end your day is with a visit to Mallard Cottage . The historic green and white cottage was built in the 1840s by the Mallard family. They had immigrated from southeast Ireland to make a new life here in Newfoundland. The cottage’s style was typical of the period, inspired by Irish cottages, with low hipped-roof and a large central chimney.

The Mallard’s passed the house down from generation to generation, eventually selling it off in 1950. Because it was so well cared for, it remained in pristine historic condition. Today, it is one of the oldest wooden buildings that remain in North America. It changed hands multiple times over the years and in 2013 was purchased and restored to become a five-star restaurant. This is no doubt the finest restaurant in all of St. John’s , let alone Quidi Vidi.

Walking into Mallard Cottage is what I imagine an old-fashioned inn from the middle ages would have felt like. Furs hang on the walls along with taxidermied moose and deer heads. Plus seems to grow out of the woodwork giving the room a breath of fresh air. The room is dim, lit throughout with candles and chandeliers. The kitchen is open to the room. Guests can sit at the bar to watch the chefs at work. The flames roar in the background, and the sound of excited chatted simmers in the air. Mallard Cottage is open Wednesday to Saturday for dinner, and an exclusive reservation is available for Sunday Brunch .

Their dinner menu consists of seasonal fare sourced in Newfoundland and Labrador. The menu changes along with the months, so there is always something fresh and delicious on the stove. The dinner menu features a Family Style option of $90 per person. It is a multi-course meal and includes one alcoholic drink.

The Family Style meal comprises a myriad of their favourite menu items. It is served “family style” on large platters brought to the table to share amongst your party. I would go with this option every time . We couldn’t decide what we wanted and figured this was the best way to sample a bit of everything. And it was A TON of food! Come hungry!

Their brunch menu is just as impressive! And the $45 prix-fix includes one main, two sides, a non-alcoholic drink and access to their breakfast cake table. You can grab whatever you want from their incredible dessert table, whatever can fit into your cake box!

The Wharf at Quidi Vidi

The old wharf in Quidi Vidi Harbour has been reinvented into an incredible, modern event space! The Wharf is a new pop-up event featuring food vendors, artists and locally brewed Landwash craft beers. It’s a Newfoundlander beer garden by the water. The company is a non-profit helping Stella’s Circle ‘s Clean Start program. Since Quidi Vidi is such a small village without much parking, they even offer a free shuttle to help with congestion.

The Sweet Spot is one of the popular spots on the Wharf. They serve delicious ice cream, baked goods, and hot coffee right off the dock. Their elaborate sundaes are the real star of the show. Such a perfect cool treat for a hot day near the water.

Where to Drink

Quidi vidi brewery.

In a huge green building dominating the harbour is the Quidi Vidi Brewery . This old fish plant was transformed into a local brewery in 1996 by David Fong. Over the years, he has created one of the most beloved breweries all over Newfoundland. They brew over 25 different kinds of beer, including the infamous blue-bottled Iceberg Beer . The Iceberg Beer is made with 20,000-year-old iceberg water, harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland. Walk into any restaurant, grocery store or liquor store in Newfoundland, and you’ll find their brightly coloured cans.

But if you are looking to sample a bunch of their different brews, then head over to their taproom. You can get a flight sampler made to your preferred taste. Their fantastic beer hall and outdoor patio is brimming with energy. Live music is usually on every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There is nothing better to pair your beer with than a gaunty tune played by some local Newfoundlanders.

Although there is no food on offer at the brewery, not to fear! If you’re looking for something to eat, you can head outside to the Quidi Vidi Fish Company truck . This is parked outside the brewery and acts as their defacto restaurant. There are a small set of tables outside where you can eat on the water.

The Inne of Olde

Tucked away on Old Quidi Vidi Road is one of the mainstays of village life, the pub. The Inne of Olde is better to know just as “Linda’s.” Linda is the owner and heart of the establishment. Walking in the door, you are immediately struck with the waves of personality that Linda has decorated the pub with. There are families photos all over the walls, trinkets, keepsakes and of course, seasonal decor. If you are looking to chat with a local, there is no better place than the Inne of Olde. You can find some real characters in here and the later the night gets the more stories they are prone to tell!

Quidi Vidi really makes for the perfect escape and feels like a village out of time, just minutes away from the centre of downtown St. John’s. Hopefully, this guide enlightened you into the incredible things to see and do here. You make a point of visiting on your next trip to the Maritimes.

Great beer and wonderful setting. A must when visiting St. Johns. Parking might be an issue so plan accordingly

Black current Ginger sour

Lively brewery with great views overlooking Quidi Vidi. Everyone here seemed to be enjoying themselves. Outdoor seating was plenty and are covered and heated for comfort. Beer selection was fun and we ordered two different flights and got to sample 10 varieties to compare tastes. The best part is is attached to a food truck where you can order the fish and chip special. It's a cool place to hang.

Fish & chips and wings order

Beer tasting flights

It was our first time in St.John, Nfld. My husband enjoys trying local breweries. He read Quidi Vidi Village had a brewery so we thought we'd check it out. The beer was good. We shared an order of fish and chips and I ordered the daily special soup, roast pepper and tomato soup. The temperature of soup was tepid and bun was hard. Fish was mushy inside the batter and fries were also tepid. It's a great location but don't expect much for the food.

First, get the fish and chips! Best I've tried in Newfoundland. Second, 99 cent wing night is Wednesdays, starting at 4:00 p.m. Good food, variety of beer and the most lovely deck to sit and enjoy the scenery. Their Iceberg Beer is made from actual iceberg water and is smooth, crisp and lift. I also enjoyed their Iron Cherry sour. Not to sour and very flavorful.

Iceberg Lager

This was the most advertised brewery in St. John that we had read about, so we decided to stop by to check out their beer. We had no intention of staying for food, but we ended up doing that anyway. First off, they have a wide range of beers, both on draft and in cans. The artwork on the cans are awesome! I'm not sure who the artist is, but you almost don't want to throw the cans away because they're so pretty. I got their Imperial Coconut Porter which came in a can, and I was in heaven! Very smooth with coffee notes. Hubby got the 1892 Amber beer and enjoyed it. We also split the Octoberfest, which was refreshing! For food, they have a little truck outside of their brewery with a limited menu. Hubby got the fish & chips and I got the poutine. Hubby said his fish & chips were good - not the best he's ever had, but decent. I really enjoyed the poutine with the cheese curds and delicious gravy! It went very well with the beers. The atmosphere is very chill and they have a beautiful view of Quidi Vidi lake and village. They have seating both inside and outside. Service is friendly and fast. I'd recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

Wonderful service, beer selection and food!! The chowder is awesome. Views are incredible from the outdoor patio. A must if in the area. Also had some cute merch but card only for retail purchases. Not sure why. Squeeze box IPA was crisp and fruity not too heavy on the hops. Great job!

See all photos from Renee J. for Quidi Vidi Brewery

Good selection of brews. Flights available. Had the nachos and they were great and fed all four of us.

I did not go for the beer, but wanted to go for lunch with a friend. Our waiter was rude. The fish in the "fish and chips" was thin and old. I received a piece of deep fried beer batter. QVB is an excellent place for brews, but try "By The Beach" for excellent fish and chips. The cod is thick, fresh, and snowy white. And the wait staff are super friendly!

Newcomer in St. John's I took bus 15 to get here Anyway, Dined here alone. Staff are very nice and approachable. There iceberg beer is superb and the fish & chips. Will definitely come back!! Thank you folks for making me feel welcome!

Iceberg beer & Fish and Chips

Service was first rate. The beer, I ordered, Squeezebox, was a decent IPA. Chowder was bland, and scanty for the price. Do not make the mistake of assuming that the locale, a precious old timey fishing village, has anything to do with the food: through the magic of refrigeration, a pub in Alberta could do as well.

A Day in Quidi Vidi

This quaint fishing village located just in the east end of St. John’s will transport you to a different time. From the idyllic cottages dotting the roadside to the wharf lined with colourful fishing stages, Quidi Vidi, pronounced as Kitty Vitty or Quada Vida, depending on who you ask, offers a glimpse into the quintessential island outports of Newfoundland & Labrador.

A Morning at Sea

You’ve just arrived in Quidi Vidi and now it’s time to head back out again (on the water this time!). Witness the sun’s first rays hitting North America as you travel by boat to Cape Spear . Passing St. John’s Harbour along the way, this two hour fishing tour with Quidi Vidi Charters will leave you breathless as you watch whales, eagles and maybe even an iceberg pass by. As you troll for fish you will learn about the history of St. John’s dating back to 1497 and, with help from the seasoned captains, you’ll jig for cod.

After everyone has tried their hand at jigging, you’ll head back to the wharf where you will learn to fillet a fish and enjoy it right on the dock. If you are a late riser not to worry, you can still hop on board later in the morning or for an afternoon treat.

A Pint with a View

After working hard for your fresh-caught lunch, you’ll likely want to wash it down with a refreshing brew. Head to Quidi Vidi Brewery , a former fish plant turned brewery, situated just down the road from the fishing charters. Relax, enjoy the view, and sip on some delicious local craft beer. If you’re looking for a bit of local entertainment, the Quidi Vidi Taproom has live music every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday!

Twacking in the Village

The large yellow building on the edge of the harbour is where you can take your turn at twacking, also known as window shopping, after you snap some classic shots of the sheds and twins lofts of course.

The Quidi Vidi Village Artisan Studios is the perfect place to window shop or pick up gifts for friends, family, or maybe a little something for yourself. Housing studios for up to ten emerging craftspeople, the Artisan Studios gives you the opportunity to meet some of our province’s talented and delightful makers, learn about their creative processes, and find out what makes their handmade products so special.

Dinner in a Cottage

Shopping has a way of making you work up an appetite so it may be time to refuel at the quaint and welcoming Mallard Cottage . This award winning 18th Century Irish-Newfoundland vernacular style cottage focuses on presenting Newfoundland ingredients in an approachable and comfortable environment while providing a unique dining experience in one of the oldest wooden buildings in North America.

A Touch of Olde

Speaking of heritage, what better way to end your day in Quidi Vidi than at the The Inne of Olde, also known as Linda’s. This unassuming parlour/pub is tucked into the hill at the fork in the road.

Keepsakes, family photos and trinkets coat the walls, giving you the best eye-spy game you could ever find. Here you are guaranteed to find something new to look at every time you visit. Linda’s is truly a local treasure and a must visit for a taste of real Newfoundland pub culture. Be sure to have a chat with Linda as you sip a pint and hear a few tales from the regular patrons.

St John's

Over Signal Hill, away from town, is the tiny picturesque village of Quidi Vidi. Check out the 18th-century battery and the lakeside regatta museum, but make your first stop Quidi Vidi Brewery , which whips up Newfoundland's most popular microbrews. Located in an old fish-processing plant on the small wharf, it's a scenic place to slake your thirst.

Nearby there's one of the oldest cottages in North America, the 1750s-era Mallard Cottage , a restaurant that serves Newfoundland comfort food. Nearby is the Inn of Olde Pub , a dive bar located in what is not the oldest cottage in North America, but sure feels like it. Also in this vicinity is the Quidi Vidi Village Plantation , an arts center that hosts a rotating collection of local creatives.

The 1762 Quidi Vidi Battery , atop the hill end of Cuckold's Cove Rd, was built by the French after they took St John's. The British quickly claimed it, and it remained in military service into the 1800s.

Inland from the village, Quidi Vidi Lake is the site of the St John's Regatta . The Royal St John's Regatta Museum is on the 2nd floor of the boathouse. A popular walking trail leads around the lake.

Quidi Vidi is about 2km from the northeast edge of downtown. Take Plymouth Rd, go left on Quidi Vidi Rd, then right on Forest Rd (which becomes Quidi Vidi Village Rd). For the brewery, bear right onto Barrows Rd. For the battery, veer off on Cuckold's Cove Rd. For the regatta museum, take a left off Forest Rd onto Lakeview Ave. You can also walk from Signal Hill via the Cuckold's Cove Trail, which takes about 30 minutes.
