“Myself and my partner went there for brunch this past weekend. It was our first time and it will NOT be our last. Wow is all I can say. 10/10.”

“When I was living in St John’s I was so grateful for Peaceful Loft, it’s 100% vegan. It’s an independent business and all of the food is made with love. It’s one of my favourite vegan restaurants in the world 🩷 The owners are so kind and the food is delicious! The Splendid Tofu was often my go-to option but I always enjoyed every meal I had at the restaurant (or as a takeaway/takeout). I would suggest bringing along a pot for leftovers, but they will also provide if needed, as portions are large… they are very generous 🤓 Updated from previous review on 2026-02-04”

“Amazing food, beautiful decor, attentive and friendly staff, generous portions, and I’ll definitely be back! The fesenjoon was sooo delicious! Thank you for a wonderful evening.”

“The food is pretty good actually.”

“Just came out of Majestea and wow 😊 loved it. The taste was amazing, the hospitality felt so warm, and the management is truly inspiring. You can tell how much heart they put into everyone . Wishing the whole team the very best. Also students, they’ve got a buy one get one deal right now so don’t miss out and grab it soon 😄”

“Amazing fresh sushi and very knowledgeable with gluten free! Highly recommend!”

“Thank you, Sinaing, for accommodating us for my son’s birthday and baptism! We first tasted your food during the summer, and I immediately told my husband that we had to celebrate here. Even though our family couldn’t be with us, your food made us feel right at home. The dishes were not only delicious but also carried that comforting, home-cooked flavor that brought back so many memories. Thank you for helping make this special day even more memorable for us!”

“Had a couple nights at the Embassy while in St.John’s. Great spot!! Staff was awesome and friendly, while somewhat “saucy” (Joe and Tracy)! 😂 Locals were fun and made me feel like part of the group (Ally, Chris & Jeff, who talks too much)!! Local talent was awesome and can definitely sing and play to keep everyone entertained!! I will be back!!”

“Delicious! Brought me back to life after a long day”

“I ordered the BBQ wings with sweet potato fries. The wings were decent, but the BBQ sauce was a bit too heavy on the molasses for my taste. About half of the sweet potato fries seemed like they'd been cooked twice and were overdone, which was disappointing. That said, it was wing night, the prices were very reasonable, and the service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. With a bit more consistency from the kitchen, this place has a lot of potential.”

“Bought a large size Belgian white loaf. INCREDIBLE bread! Soft and airy; incredible taste as well. HIGHLY recommend. Hope they start making sourdough soon - I’d buy it.”

“Went there for a Screech In, it was an amazing time. The host was funny and his Newfy steak pretty good. Highly recommended!!!!”

“Had a raspberry chocolate tart and a latte, both were amazing and the staff were very friendly. Will definitely be visiting again when I’m back in St.John’s.”

“Best sandwich I had in a very long time and very affordable. I highly recommend! Delicious!”

“We stayed for 3 nights for our daughter's wedding. Our room was first class with w.c., large bath and large walk-in shower. It was quiet, facing the rear of the building. The front pedestrian way can be a bit noisy with revellers. Spotlessly clean, with aircon and fridge. The restaurant offered a varied evening menu, and the cuisine was superb. Likewise, a good choice for breakfast, and large portions. I had the 2 egg breakfast, and the eggs were cooked precisely to my instructions. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. This was my second visit, and I look forward to my third.”

“Best bake good ?”

“The absolute best fish & chips on earth!! Their gluten free batter is unmatchable⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Fabulous!!!!! What a great hidden gem ! Service , food and atmosphere was wonderful! I highly recommend this great place ❤️”

“walk in a total stranger but leave as an old mate. just a fantastic place with awesome food and tons of character. (and characters)”

“We are on our honeymoon and this was our first stop in St. John’s. The fish and chips were so good! Staff were friendly. Great energy! We’re stopping back in for another meal before we head home.”

“I loved eating at Poyo & the Sprout, when I lived in St John’s. It’s a wonderful independent business, with a great variety of vegan options! I highly recommend trying the burrito 🌯 it was also great to be able to try poutine, as a vegan from the UK 🤓”

“First time ordering Noodles Express and it was 300% worth it! We did a dinner for 4 and we had enough left for left overs the next day! By the time you take a portion of each thing you’re filling your plate and then some! The beef in the beef and broccoli would melt in your mouth, it was so tender! If you haven’t tried Noodles Express, you’re missing out!”

“We just had the pleasure of dining at The post Taphouse this evening, New Year’s Eve. The decor was so cozy and intimate, music at just the right volume to allow conversation, server was friendly and very professional. The food…can’t say enough good about it. Fabulous! Nowhere in St. John’s area tonight could food be any better! Compliments to the chef and staff! Thank you for a memorable experience!”

“We recently ordered a custom made Black Forest cake for an event. The presentation of the cake upon pickup was spectacular! We followed the verbal and written instructions. The cake was amazing, it was moist , icing was not sweet & it looked beautiful on the plates . Our guests really enjoyed it and several people took cake home ❤️ I was very happy with cake & would order again Thanks”

“Had brunch there today. Not only was the food delicious but the server was fantastic!! So cheerful and an absolute delight!”

“We went there around 6pm and had a great experience! Our server Mymuna was super friendly and patient, always checking in on us. There was a small misunderstanding when we were paying (totally our bad!), but she explained everything so kindly.
Mymuna totally made our visit much more enjoyable! We'll definitely visit again.”
