Let me introduce myself: I'm Janet Davis, an artist and entrepreneur living and working on the North side of Bonavista Bay, on the island of Newfoundland in Eastern Canada. There are many challenges to running a business here in my small rural hometown, and there are many wonderful benefits too. This blog is where I share some of those challenges and triumphs, and share what it's like to live in this part of the world.
Central Perk: after-hours at Norton’s Cove is back for Christmas!
Get together with your FRIENDS and enjoy special Christmas treats made by Amanda along with Duke’s famous nachos! Janet is making eggnog this year, along with the usual drinks menu.
The kitchen magicians at Norton’s Cove Café are starting the week out with some excitement as Amanda works her first shifts in the kitchen with Ted. She’ll be starting full time hours when the summer season hits us full on. We are thrilled to welcome Amanda aboard!
Specials this week:
A cup of Roasted Pepper & Tomato Soup as a vegetarian appetizer option.Try it with a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch! Also available in ‘bowl’ size portion.
Our hearty soup this week is Seafood Chowder. This is available in a cup or a bowl, for lunch, an appetizer, or supper. Shellfish is added at the last minute, so if you have a shellfish allergy, let your server know and you’ll get your chowder with cod and salmon as the only seafood ingredients.
Ted’s Shrimp Diane available this week for $18. A little bit spicy, a lot of flavour!

Great big thanks to fellow blogger Victoria Wade for posting this super positive blog about my restaurant!
So happy to see this on a day with almost no customers and a feeling of dread weighing heavy on my shoulders. It’s so hard to run a business in a small town, and equally as easy to feel like I probably shouldn’t have started this in the first place. A notification came to my phone telling me about a blog post this evening and saved my day! It’ll be alright. Tomorrow is another day…
