Restaurants in Paradise

“Best fish n' chips I've had in on the Avalon Peninsula, honestly. Fish was unbelievably fresh, thick chunks of beautiful flaky cod, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Lady behind the counter was a sweetheart too!”

“The food and service at Pur & Simple is always 10/10. It's been a great addition to the area & the restaurant is gorgeous. Jennifer & her team are so welcoming. My go-to is one of the Egg Benedicts & a Latte Bowl!”

“Excellent vibe. I have enjoyed every time I've been to Banished.”

“edit: had the dinner for 4 and of course BBQ pork dim sum and it was DELICIOUS and so much food. Will definitely be back. Just posting here. Jin Dragon ran a contest for redesigning their logo and I was one of the chosen winners. I just want to say thank you so much for the thoughtful little gift. A handwritten letter (no one really takes the time to do that anymore) and a lovely wearable dragon pin ( I was born in the year of the dragon 🐉) and a wall calendar. Also their BBQ pork dim sum is to die for. You will not regret it.”

“Job well done, team Paradise.”

“Excellent breakfast! Good quality donuts. Nice prices. We love this place.”

“Beautiful, relaxed atmosphere with live soft piano music made the evening enjoyable! The food was great and although it was quite busy, the service was wonderful!”

“This is the best Chinese food I've had in the St. John's area. My husband, who after many years of living here has never liked any of the Chinese food that he has tried, also said that it was really good. The chicken balls were fluffy with tender pieces of all white chicken in them...just the way chicken balls should be, none of that greasy batter stuff that you usually get at other places. Other dishes that our table tried and enjoyed were Beef and Broccoli, Chicken Soo Gai, Lemon Chicken, Vegetable Noodles, rice, and egg rolls...all excellent. The food was fresh and just salty and flavorful enough without being too salty....most definitely not bland. The service was okay...neither the best or the worst. I don't usually go to a Chinese restaurants for the atmosphere so no comment there. Overall it was great, and I think we found our go to Chinese place.”

“The best Subway in town! I just want to tell the owner: if you want your business to be truly respected, ensure that your female employees receive the best salaries and the respect they deserve.””

“Was very impressed with the quality. Since I've become a regular, I've gotten to know the owner and i found out that it's actually a small family owned and run business, albeit a franchise. (This explains the terrific quality). The husband and wife and both of their beautiful daughters all work in the shop.(Both are full time MUN students, but still find time to work in the kitchen).Hardest working family I've ever met, and the hard work explains why this location has the best pizza and service in the entire city. I'll never go anywhere else for pizza.”

“It was really good and we didn’t have to wait long.”

“New place. Staff are friendly and the place is clean. I like the fact they have a sink so you can wash your hands instead of having to go to the washroom to do so.”

“Great team. Convenient and fast. Tonight was Halloween, and despite only having two staff at first, they were courteous.

My only recommendation would be for them to call out the names of pickup orders if it’s busy.”

“Love the blizzards, turtles is definitely my favorite!

Parking: There are only 3 parking spaces in front of the door. The rest is on the other side if the drive thru which can b3 dangerous to cross if people aren't paying attention.”

“Recently visited for a Take Home Margarita Kit. They were unable to make it for me after I had paid and was sat down waiting for it. Of course, I was so sad I didn’t get to have margaritas at home, but they handled the situation absolutely perfectly! We have visited this location plenty of times, and always have incredible service. Thanks for all you do! Keep up the amazing work!”

“Had a very tasty birthday cake from your place this evening! It was very moist and delicious and the icing was so good, not sweet. Thank you so much!”

“Amazing food and friendly staff. Worth checking out!”

“I really like this particular Starbucks. It has a good team as of spring 2024, clean & organized, good tunes (varied genres), and most importantly they remember my order :)

“Fantastic coffee and sandwiches (cookies/treats also looked great). This location is not as scenic/comfortable as the downtown location (in a strip mall to be fair) but same great food and drink. Friendly staff as well!”

“a nice clean quiet place with very friendly helpful staff I would recommend it to anybody”
