Reviews of Quidi Vidi Village Plantation (Painter)

Phil Wilson

Great concept and a great location. It was closed when I got here on Sunday but the view from the wharf was amazing. Got to talk to some local fisherman bringing in cod. And the close proximity to the brewery helps as well.

Many artists working and selling art. Interesting to watch the process. When we went and spoke with a lovely artist (who I can't remember the name of) from BC. We bought some of her art and art from another artist. Recommended.

Tim Foulkes

Great location

Racquel Heron

Great place to see local artists at work.

Paul Nault

Great

Kathy McKay

Small local craft businesses. Lots of synergy.

Jaehong Jin

this is the souvenir shop. artists reside in here and you can talk to them, watch their work and buy form them. Unique and valuable items. you can't get the same one from elsewhere.

Alec Reilly

Cool concept, like an indoor flea market for various local crafter's and artists. I bought a mug.

Thomas Erskine

pretty little harbor, but there are lots more where you can find somewhere to park. minimal craftspeople, only six when we got there. the only reasons i can see to go there are to hike the trail or visit the brewery.

Tania Castilhos

First we ended up in the neighborhood. A nice upscale -for the island. Then we went to the crafted for the tourist little place. A nice gallery with beautiful display and done Crafters working. It feels like you entered a painting. The falls, the boats, the colors... All feed the eyes with beauty

Brian Carey

Great location for artist!

Bobbi Evans

Very unique beer with a great taste and a beautiful space for an event. Staff are very friendly.

The Best Brewery in St. Johns....Great Beer & Help

Jan Timmers (VE7JBT)

Nice location - it wasn't open when I got here - it was on Sunday. But what a quaint place to visit and walk the narrow streets. I was told it is one of the oldest fishing villages in the new world. Lots of history right there, yo!

Jan Willem

Nice old phishing community close to St. John's. Visit the brewery and walk back to the city via 'Ladies lookout', Signal Hill and The Battery.

Rebekah Heinrich

It was an absolute pleasure to meet with artist Jennifer Morgan (Morgan's Printing) and discuss her pieces and process. Made owning a piece of her wonderful work all the more meaningful. We even took our piece on a little photo shoot outside ;)

Quaint fishing inlet. Filleting cod while I was there.

Melissa Gregory

Gorgeous little plantation on a gorgeous scenic backdrop. The vendors up stairs have something unique for everyone. A must if staying in St. John's. Loved the view so much I got married here!

Paul Gooch

No restaurant just a food truck. Do servers. Serve yourself.

bob griffin

Over all great spot to visit great newfoundland art for sale there

Donald McKay

Upstairs, the Plantation features resident artisans and craft people who make and sell products from their individual 'shops'. You can watch them create and speak with them to learn about their art/craft. Downstairs can feature itinerant crafts people who are not based out of the Plantation.

Leanne Watt

Pricey but a nice idea for local artisans.

Helena Dang

This nice 2-story "mall" worths a stop. Shops typically runs by local artists who showcase their products here. Most of the items there are locally made, some even made on site. You can chat with them, have some ideas on how the products are made, etc.

Nelson Jackson

Perfect

Debcar Jackson

A Sunday visitation to check local artisans as well as special opportunity for other artisans to set up a table to display their creations. Great venue, well managed, keeping current Covid-19 regulations in check, making for a great experience.

Alex Bihlo

Wonderful community space

Sheila Feliciana

I love it

Kathleen Laycock

Picturesque

Samantha Kristoferson

Really loved the selection of artisans. The building was beautiful. It was a great spot to sit outside and watch the harbour.

John Hamilton

Great crafts one of a kind items

Jeremy Kurtin

Very Quant village but go in the morning as it is very busy in the afternoon.

Jocelyn Alarie

(Translated) Peaceful place out of time.We can see the fishermen who prepare the fish. Nearby there is a small shack where you can enjoy fish & chips and even poutine with its Quebec cheese curds. Pleasantly surprised by the discovery of beautiful spaces in Newfoundland. Do not get me wrong Newfoundland is much bigger than we think, we plan to go back there to discover it, people are very friendly. (Original) Endroit paisible hors du temps.On peut voir les pécheurs qui préparent le poisson. À proximité il y a un petit shack où on peut déguster des fish & chips et même de la poutine avec son fromage en grains du Québec. Agréablement surpris par la découverte de très beaux espaces à Terre Neuve. Ne vous m"éprenez pas Terre Neuve est beaucoup plus grand qu'on le pense. On prévoit y retourner pour la découvrir. Les gens y sont très sympathiques.

Olivia El

Loved the concept of workshops and local artisans being able to showcase their work. It’s great to see people crafting in a small town like this one. I would highly recommend a visit here!

Duane Quinlan

You have to wait for your food outside which is okay if weather is good. Table service was awful and left without even a sample. Parking is atrocious but Live music was good however.

Charlene Carr

Lovely spot to visit local artisans and then enjoy a walk along the Quidi Vidi waterfront.

Lisa Jacobs

Loved the plantation! The artisans were very nice people and informative. I wished I could have more time there.

Jennifer Holmes

It's a little small but we were there after a cruise ship docked in Saint John's harbour. Lol friendly staff and a flight gives you the opportunity to try several Quidi Vidi beers. Lots of fun. O

Jennifer Vincent

We had an above-and-beyond experience at the QV Village Plantation last weekend. The artisans were welcoming and keen to tell us about their respective crafts and unique, high-quality creations. We all had a memorable time with the artists, and my daughter was inspired to make some leather creations, thanks to the kindness and encouragement of Stephen from Modjūl. I left something "key" at the plantation, and the receptionist was kind enough to find me, which saved us a lot of trouble. The space itself is glorious, with magnificent views of a picture-perfect village, like the ones below.

Sarah Best

The artist's working here were all so nice! They answered questions about the techniques they were using. Its amazing to see all the action of how the beautiful craft is made. Each artist was doing something completely different and unique to make exquisite pieces of art. Some the art you can even wear! A must see if you are in the St. John's area.

Jim Deal

This building is located right in the historical Village of Quidi Vidi. There are a number of local artisans working their art. You can watch them work, ask them questions and even purchase what they have created. There is also workshops running a different times. There are washrooms inside the building along with a nice sitting area that looks out into the active small harbor.

Olivier Murgier

(Translated) Very nice place, local artisans. (Original) Très bel endroit, artisans locaux.

James Stenson

Just wonderful! Amazing location and wonderful craftspeople

Jeff Ku

Great space showcasing local artists. Can pick up unique souvenirs to bring home to friends and family

Karen MacEwan

Parking is tough to find & not many booths selling goods.

Darryl Hollett

Great Artist work

Susan Blanco

Local crafts. Beautiful building on the water.

Scott Quilty

Beautiful Place and must see

M R K

Parking and attempting to drive in the village was difficult. Looks like some construction going on right in the middle. Artisans building nicely done with market style stores. Irish wood carver, Simon Collins, was awesome! Jacobean bean-to-bar chocolate was delicious. For artisan shopping, a good destination. However, for a picturesque fishing village, I prefer Petty Harbour/ Maddox Cove (20 minute drive south of St. John’s).

Rosemary Flynn

A wonderful quaint place to visit

Tim Godin

Cute boutique workshop incubator thing, right beside brewery, definitely two places worth visiting together while you're in St. John's.

Gary Thomas

Very nice great crafts

Tom Murphy

Regular daily customer.

KAR

Interesting but so expensive.

Donny Moore

Nice to see the artisans working at their craft while you look around this quaint little harbour.

Christine McCormick

Terrific place to catch a handful of artisans at work! Knitted wooks, wooden spoons, leather purses t-shirts and baby clothes

Deborah Hartery

This is an incubator for local artistans and is situated in the heart of Quidi Vidi Village. Just beautiful!!

Meghan Fahey

There is nothing quite like this space anywhere else in the world. It’s so interesting to see the products being made by the artisans, chat with them about their process and hear the stories behind their work. Not to mention the views of Quidi Vidi harbour are second to none.

Steve Giac

The beer tasting was an excellent event. Eric, our leader was brilliant and funny and there were many excellent beers to sample. What a bargain for $10!

Aidan Leach

Neat stuff, a good part of the visit to a neat fishing village close to town.

Jennifer Williams

Quiet place tucked in the heart of Quidi Vidi where you can shop for locally made goods. They have baby items, leather goods, wood working, sketching, etc. Each artist has their own space on the 2nd floor. Well worth taking a look for unique hand crafted items.

Antje Springmann

Very much worth a visit. The Plantation is an incubation space for emerging artisans. You can watch them work and see their products on display, and for sale, of course. Fabulous rainy day option.

Blair Hammond

Picturesque village. Get souvenir iceberg beer in blue bottles.

Martine Mongrain

(Translated) Very nice little fishing village, but, not easy to drive ... (Original) Très beau petit village de pêcheurs, mais, pas facile circuler en voiture...

Ernest Stapleton

A shared venue for artists and artisanal craftspeople. The views are spectacular. There are walking trails nearby that will take you over the hills, where you can pick berries, take a seat and view the Atlantic Ocean, or hike farther along the trails. Bring proper footwear and clothing, the weather can change in minutes.

Kris Ross

Fun little craft fair

Shauna Lynch

Great place to see the amazing work of local artists. Not to mention, the space is stunning.

Jordan Hodgson

Visited Quidi Vidi, the craft store is very nice but the highlight of the day was the brewery. Awesome beer and the fish and chip truck out front is worth checking out, good place.

Justus Cohoe

Go here now for a view of a typical Newfoundland fishing village at the head of a gut. Development is proceeding at a great rate.

Sara Chicconi

Take the North trail and get lost with breathing views. Pick some blueberries and look the Ocean. Go down to the mountain and discover the quidi Vidi Village Plantation. Fall in love for this beautiful fishermen place, talk with local people and enjoy the life toasting with the local beer.

Michael Dawe

Fabulous place to purchase Newfoundland craft beer at its finest.

Michelle Usher

Did the tasting tour and it was quite good. We recommend the Oktoberfest beer! Iceberg beer is neat too and quite mild. Beautiful location. They even feed the ducks!

Mei-Lin Wong

Peace and quite fishing village

David Cline

Amazing artwork that helps local artists. Really nice space to walk around. Watch out, you may end up spending quite a bit of money on the beautiful artwork.

Athar Noman Khan

Could have been more interactive ...

Teresa Fortin

Great tastings and very friendly staff!

Janet Davis

A wonderful place to visit to see/purchase new art by new artists.

Bernard Gasiorowski

Really nice scenic place. The shop has a lot of local art for sale.

Anthony Penney

This is an awesome place located in Quidi Vidi village, excellent for all Newfoundlanders as well as tourists. Information can be obtained on the main level as well as use of washrooms, the upstairs boost small but efficient cubicles for artists to make and sell their products. There's amazing culture from pottery to string art, inks and paints to leather products, from babies wear to puffins, wonderful artistry. A must see if you're in the village.

L Kay

Cute little place to purchase some hand made crafts. Also check out the brewery which is nearby!

mike bardell

Nice collection of artisans and wonderful location

Doug M

Variety of crafters and painters. Great spot.

Barry Buckle

Amazing incubator for local craftspeople

jonathan hill

Awesome beers and the upstairs bar is a great spot to enjoy them, wicked view overlooking the gut. Check out the growlers to enjoy at home.

Sonya Richmond

Great place, great location.

Bruce Welsh

Very picturesque.

Linda Banks

It's in St. John's. Recommend it.

Mad Murphy

Beautiful scenery, nice place to have a lunch/dinner. Great walking trails to explore.

Rodger Mootrey

Nice heritage store

Andrew Pollard

Worth the short drive from downtown . A beautiful little spot

Christine Bugler

Beautiful!

Wendi Jiang

Nice spot

Vikas Manocha

Great tasting beer and love music when we visited

Bev Fry

This place is awesome. Artisans have individual spaces where they actually make and sell their products.

Dennis Doodan

Great hand crafted items

Tom Forsey

Beautiful place

Jason Manley

Their Iceberg beer is magnificent, and if you'll pardon the pun, it really is just the tip of the iceberg. If you're in St. John's, make sure to take a trip out to Quidi Vidi and try a few of their fantastic brews!

Craig Cook

Beautiful spot. If you can, be considerate of those with accessibility issues, park at Quidi Vidi Lake and walk in. Not many places to park, within. This 500 year old fishing village confined in a small harbour wasn't built with car traffic in mind, of course :)

Steven Johnstone

NICE QUIET SPOT TO DO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

bryan lynch

Great place to get handmade crafts made on site.

Peter Morgan

Lovely building and worth a visit. We went to something advertised as a weekend Christmas market. We didn't really see anything Christmas about it (no decorations, Christmas crafts, etc) so it was only okay. But we might try again sometime. Wasn't a bad excuse for a drive to scenic and historic Quidi Vidi.

Aaron Adamack

Interesting local artists. There are about 8-10 small workshops upstairs where local artists are working/selling their work. Make sure to check their hours ahead of time as they seem to be open weekends only in winter. Also, a good spot to take pictures of Quidi Vidi. To try and avoid struggling to park, try parking at the "Sugarloaf Path Parking" and taking the short, wheelchair accessible path/bridge over.

Barry Dawe

Fantastic maker's market at plantation today ... sat dec 19th. Lots of great stuff and we bought plenty! Well worth stopping by to have a look at some unique and fabulous locally made things. Please support local this year!

Nice little village. Didn't have enough time to climb the hill on a walk but those in our party who did said it was great. The craft house wasn't much to speak of.
