Reviews of Bernard Kavanagh's Irish Loop Restaurant (Zoo)

Lynette Stamp

Excellent food! Service was friendly! Had clubhouse and fries.

Benjamin Tretter

Great take out. Very fast service

Doug Crummey

If you're in Ferryland around meal time you'll want to stop here. Classic homestyle Newfoundland food - they mean it when they say the best Fish & Chips on the Irish Loop. Oh and did I mention the million dollar view? They've got a beautiful spot overlooking the bay and we were lucky enough to see whales blowing and breaching in the bay while we ate. Awesome service.... Highly recommended !

Nick Hart

Nice spot to stop for lunch on the loop. Or Even ice cream and snacks. Not many places you see the owner on dish duty, but here you will. The people make the place and especially true here

John Luong

Had fish and chips. Average small pieces.

Graham Young

Food was very good and all orders where made from fresh products

Christine Gillard

Very quick service, clean and friendly too!

Alexis Letrotteur

(Translated) A great discovery. We took the fisherman's plate and it was very good. It's not haute cuisine with coulis and other stuff. But it is a restaurant where you eat very well (varied menu) and the staff are very friendly. (Original) Une belle découverte. On a pris l'assiette du pécheur et c'était très bien. Ce n'est pas de la haute gastronomique avec des coulis et autres trucs. Mais c'est une restaurant où l'on mange très bien (menu varié) et le personnel est très sympathique.

Phil Adams

Food is awesome and view is worth a million for sure. Going to bring some family there in the next few weeks. Pricing a reasonable.

Michele Mitchell

Renée F MacDonald

Exceptional service, food was slightly okay. There are no vegan or vegetarian options on menu so I opted for nachos but was told nachos only came with bacon, meat and peppers. When I asked if they could only put veggies on it, server asked me some vegetables I liked, I suggested tomato and onion along with the peppers which they were able to do. They even made a suggestion of lettuce which I appreciated very much. When served my nachos, server asked me if my nachos looked okay before eating. I thought that was very kind. Though the nachos appearance was bland, the nachos tasted pretty good! The peppers especially gave them a nice taste and the cheese was perfect. The salsa that it came with was okay and sour cream was good. I also tasted my brother's poutine which he ordered. The fries weren't fresh tasting and the gravy was near tasteless and salty. I also tasted his orange creamsicle smoothie which was not a smoothie but a milkshake or more so an orange creamsicle float which consisted of hard vanilla ice cream. The beverage was good but not my personal liking but it was good especially if you like an old fashioned style taste. The restaurant itself was beautiful! Clean, spacious, decorated lovely, plenty of seating indoor and had an outdoor patio overlooking the ocean and landscape of Ferryland. They played music that was easy to listen to at a comfortable level. The restaurant sold a few local crafts, mainly welcome signs which were lovely. The service was fabulous! Very accommodating and polite.

Trudy Veitch

Delicious fish & chips. Spectacular view. Clean. Friendly staff!

Tim Reynolds

Great hamburgers and fish and chips

George Ayoub

Fun place. Food is very good for Newfoundland standards, however for those From Away it is the ambience and stodgy food you are going there for. Great location.

Bill Strange

Great fish and chips with a billion $ view and the down home hospitality to match. A must stop if you are doing the Irish loop or Ferryland.

Neil Macleod

Fabulous view of bay including humpback whales. Food was good fish and chips. Staff extremely friendly. Great place to stop for early evening dinner.

Truly a million dollar view! Food is comforting and good. The seafood chowder is delicious! Friendly staff and easy comfortable atmosphere.

K Janes

I never actually went.

Amanda M

The food is pretty good, but you really go for the view! You can often see whales while eating your meal. Even if you dont, the view of the water if fantastic!

Mark Ryan

Exactly what you would want and expect from such an establishment. The fundamentals are delicious - good fries, good gravy, good burger, good soft-serve vanilla-chocolate twist ice cream, good service.

Athar Noman Khan

Lovely scenic views ...

Bill Allen

Great Place Really Good Food Down home friendly Service! Try the Chowder or the Fish and Chips!! ????????

anne marie Martin

Good food, good service, awesome view

Balazs M

It may be a million dollar view but it doesn't make it up for the food... Nice view from the terrace but the food is awful... Almost everything is deep fried on the menu. My fries were very dark brown, probably the frying oil needed to be changed. The chowder was good... Still, I wouldn't recommend it for the food.

Sheila Barta

The food here is fresh and excellent, the service great, and the price a nice surprise! I bet the view is spectacular when the fog lifts!

Greg Pp

Great fish and chips! Fries were really good and fish batter was perfect! Passing through during our trip and decided to stop here.

Sonya Richmond

Cool location, great views. Friendly staff and good food.

Alex Beck

Excellent if you're in the mood for fish and chips or similar, waitress was very kind

Stopped here for the seafood chowder and it was the best I have ever tasted. Great view and the other food looked fantastic. A must for lunch or dinner if you are doing the Irish Loop.

justin halliday

Awesome food, awesome people!

B K

Great food. Professional Service. Million dollar view.

Keith Hynes

Excellent meals at great prices. Our waitress was a grandmother who ran back to the kitchen to pick up orders as they were ready. Young people in the industry could take a page out of her book.

Great lunch. Met the owner and had a great chat with him looking out over his million dollar view. as advertised it was a million dollar view but the chat was more valuable.

Mark Orth

Reasonably priced.

Edmund Hayden

Good food and service, great view of bay

Glen Boutilier

Onion rings were horrible, hard and very greasy. Service was terrible, it took eons before our food came. Club sandwich, scallops and fresh cut fries were good.

Oslpsk Doowron

Wonderful view, good meal, friendly staff.

Diane Hunt

Stopped in for a lunch while driving the Irish Loop looking at icebergs. An added bonus was that there was an iceberg right outside the dining room window in the bay. Had a fantastic meal. Simple, but expertly cooked and extremely tasty. I would recommend this place for a filling meal using quality food, and deliciously cooked. The staff was extremely friendly. We will definitely be back.

Linda W

Cannot beat.. Ice Cream with a view! The lady's are always amazing!

Jocelyn Kelland

Service was fine, but the food wasn't very good.

Chris Major

Sat waiting with a hungry toddler for 20 minutes and no one ever came to say hi or take an order. There was only one other table and 3 people serving plus another guy who looked like the guy in the picture. Our child started crying she was hungry and at that point still no service so we had to leave. Font waste your time if you are hungry.

Julia WarrSquires

Excellent service, great tasting food!

Robert Snyder

A lovely, picturesque place to have a casual lunch.
