Rocky Harbour Waterfront Dining“You're approaching Rocky Harbour's waterfront, where dinner can come with a harbour view. Fisherman's Landing on Main Street has a broad menu, but I'd look for the Newfoundland dishes: cod tongues or fish and brewis.”

Guide
This Rocky Harbour shop pairs Sweet Rock Ice Cream with Aunt Sarah's Chocolate Shop on Main Street North. It's a quick dessert stop, not a meal stop: get a scoop of ice cream or sorbet, then add a chocolate to take along. That combination makes it an easy treat between park drives or after time outdoors.
Expect ice cream and sorbet, Newfoundland-inspired flavours alongside familiar classics, daily-made waffle cones, milkshakes and chocolates. Non-dairy, vegan and gluten-friendly desserts are also listed, but exact choices change. Sweet Rock says its ice cream is made from scratch in historic Trinity, using local ingredients whenever possible. Visitors often praise the creamy texture and distinctive flavours; a few find the selection small compared with larger chains, so choose it for a local sweet rather than a huge lineup.
Find it at 41 Main Street North in Rocky Harbour, convenient if you're staying in town or driving Gros Morne's west side. The outlet is seasonal, with its listed operating window running roughly mid-May into October; hours and flavours can change, so check before making a special off-season trip.
