Bangbelly Bistro is the brainchild of Chef Ian Sheridan, and Co-Owner Caitlyn Terry,  who met while working at the famed Fogo Island Inn as Sous Chef, and Marketing Associate, respectively. Sheridan and Terry are both transplants from Ontario, though they first met on Newfoundland soil.  

Since its inaugural season in the summer of 2018, Bangbelly has evolved from a small mom-and-pop coffee shop to a full-fledged, full-service bistro offering multi-course dining, Chef’s menus, and a curated cocktail list.

Its newest endeavour, Punch Buggy Pizza & Coffee Co. Is a welcome addition to the culinary scene on Fogo Island, and provides a solution for those in need of a quick bite or a coffee fix. 

Bangbelly Bistro is open annually from Mother’s Day through to Canadian Thanksgiving, while Punch Buggy’s Grand Opening is set for June 1, 2023. Service at Punch Buggy’s convenient new takeaway window will continue through to Labour Day Weekend.
