We actually ate at Sansome's in July 2021, but the post wouldn't let me go back any more than a year ago. Sansome's is a MUST for anyone visiting Central NL. I'm a born and raised Newfoundlander, but I absolutely love doing tourist activities in...the province. I loved the entire experience at this restaurant. The seating on the wharf felt like such a unique cultural experience - I loved feeling like we were surrounded by the water. Our waitress was super friendly and seemed genuinely passionate about the cuisine. The table next to us had a large group of people visiting Newfoundland for the very first time, so my parents and I had a wonderful time discussing their itinerary and reactions to such fresh seafood. Cannot recommend this place more1More

We stopped in here for a late lunch on our drive from Twillingate to Gander and declared it the best meal of our trip. Great location on the water. Friendly serving ladies. And of course - the lobster! Cash only but there is an ATM...machine. Loved this place.More

We were on the island after lobster season, but Doyle Sansome was recommended to us outside of Twillingate. It was definitely worth the trip out of town to enjoy dinner. Would recommend this if you are in the area.

We keep coming back year after year because the food, service and atmosphere is second to none. The fish is the brightest white fish I’ve ever seen and perfectly cooked. We celebrate Father’s Day there each year and we just celebrated my Dad’s 86th birthday....Thanks for going above and beyond. The owner always makes her rounds chatting with the customers making you feel welcomed and eager to return.More

Great experience - friendly staff and nice atmosphere. The service was efficient. The food was tasty, homemade and fresh. We had the lobster meal and seafood linguine.

This restaurant is a small hidden gem. The entrance is deceiving as it is located behind two out-buildings. However when you walk through and enter the dining area you then find yourself on a wharf in the afternoon sun. The kids were entertained by the...fish swimming by under the wharf and the macarel scools vibrating the water surface nearby. The staff is super pleasant. Happy to tell tales and point you towards the mist sees in the area. The food is great and we devoured our fish cakes, fish and chips, and lobster. They let the kids check out the lobster pool. Very much worth the small detour off the highway to/from Twillingate.More

Doyle Sansome & Son's was recommended to us by a relative who lives in Newfoundland and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing and the portions were perfect. The service was outstanding. The view amazing. LOVED this place!

Amazing place a friendly luckily recommended. We sat on the wharf, which was beautiful. The service was great, but the food was the best part. We had the crab and lobster rolls and fish and chips. Even ordered a dinner roll as they looked and...were delicious.More

The perfect place for dinner just outside Twillingate. Delicious scallops and calamari appetizers, and great lobster dinner, which came with choice of salad, drink (non-alcoholic) and dessert. You choose the size lobster you want; I had the 1.5 pound and my husband had the 2...pound. Perfectly prepared, served with garlic butter and when I asked, they also brought me lemon. Rhubarb cake was delicious, too. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a great, casual experience with good servers, right on the water!More

Delicious food. Great staff. Beautiful location. We visited twice while in the Twillingate area last month. Highly recommend having dinner here.

An amazing hidden gem on the water, oozing with Newfoundland hospitality. Had the snow crab as takeout and it was delicious...so many choices, would definitely return!

We had to wait when we got there… no reservations… however u put your name down and they come get u in the parking lot…. Was raining the day when we were there so didn’t get to enjoy the patio…. But the view from inside...the restaurant just as beautiful…. I can’t say enough about the staff so friendly and personable, willing to give u knowledge about the local area…. They will even help the beginner lobster Eating with cracking it… Such a delicious meal and experience for a Fantastic price… when in the area it should be on the top of your list!More
