Restaurants near St. John's

“Chinched is a special place in St. John's. It delivers an amazing dining experience that leaves a lasting impression. From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere.The menu prioritizes local ingredients while bringing world-class bistro vibes. We were there during the Chinched x Rabble pop up.The attention to detail extends beyond the food, with attentive bartenders and friendly service that enhances the dining experience. Chinched is more than a restaurant; it's a St John's culinary experience”

“Right across the street from my hotel. I had a wonderful cup of hot chocolate and enjoyed meeting the cats and kittens. If you live/work in the area I highly recommend spending some time here.”

“Ordered with Doordash, the food was so fantastic I had to go out of my way to give it a good review on Google and on the app- cheap delicious food that reminds you of home- you cannot go wrong if you want a filling, cheap, honest meal. My personal recommendation would be the meat potato pie- but the grilled cheese is definitely as good as other reviews say. The menu is also definitely much more inspiring than many other similar restaurants and cafes- while again having better pricing.Vegetarian options: There are a ton of vegetarian options, grilled cheese you can’t go wrong with, especially with the added flavour of their speciality grilled cheeses such as basil and grilled onion.Kid-friendliness: Lots of simple kids options, including grilled cheese that even assures parents/guardians that it’s just cheese and a very small amount of spice- there was also another kids option that had the description that it was not at all spicy.Dietary restrictions: Every option on the menu states if it’s gluten free, vegetarian, etc”

“I love a good mocha, and so far in st johns had only found satisfactory ones, but not a truly great mocha....until I tried Madras. this is one of the best mochas I have ever had. can't wait to try more items from the menu”

“We went during the day before our flight left. The service was good and the beer cold. They have two VLT machines and we actually both won a nice little pot o' gold lol.”

“Absolutely beautiful restaurant! As soon as we walked in we were greeted with a smile and a hello. Food was excellent. Store was very clean. Great service, great staff!”

“Nestled in a cozy corner, Jumping Bean offers an inviting atmosphere that exudes cleanliness and warmth. Upon entering, you're greeted with a sense of comfort and relaxation, making it an ideal spot for catching up with friends or enjoying some alone time.The service at Jumping Bean is top-notch, with attentive staff members who are always ready to assist you with a smile. Their dedication to ensuring a pleasant experience for customers truly sets them apart.However, the food, while decent, doesn't quite justify the hefty price tags attached to it. Although the dishes are okay, they lack the wow factor expected from such a pricey establishment. Despite this, the coffee manages to shine with its robust flavor and satisfying aroma, making it a redeeming aspect of the menu.In conclusion, while Jumping Bean offers a delightful atmosphere and excellent service, the value proposition falls short when it comes to the food. If you're looking for a spot to enjoy a quality cup of coffee and soak in the ambiance, Jumping Bean delivers. Just be prepared to splurge a bit for the overall experience.”

“The musical atmosphere was too dominant: it was difficult to talk to each other. Otherwise everything was very pleasant and we will return to your place, but perhaps we will ask to be seated away from the speakers.”

“Excellent fast service, top quality food, beautiful relaxed safe atmosphere, wifi available, comfortable seating friendly staff. I recommend. the poutone was a large serving as well, it barely fit into the box, Thanks!”

“My fav restaurant in the city. Amazing for delicious authentic Mexican food and also for treats and a large variety of grocery items! They have convenient pre made meals which are perfect for anyone on the go or on a lunch break! Their rice pudding is to die for! To top it all off, the service here is the best. Some of the most kind and accommodating humans.”

“Nice quaint little cafe with a pretty view outside! loved my cortado, super tasty espresso! and the bagel with salmon was also really good. Customer service was excellent! I would make this my regular coffee shop if I were from here! :))”

“My absolute fave spot in St. John’s. Very affordable. Great service. Inclusive and welcoming space for all. And the first spot I bring friends from away toAlso def get a custard cone”

“Classic Cafe Duckwoth St, St. John's is a real gem. The food is delicious, reasonably priced and great service. They serve a NL favorite Toutons, ps. They are huge, they also serve fish n brewing and fish cakes as well as all the regular breakfast favorites.”

“Always going above and beyond their services. If you are looking for authentic Filipino infused with Canadian taste food and excellent service, highly recommend Sinaing.”

“Rj Pinoy’s is a restaurant I recently discovered and easily a new personal favourite! The food is is very good and is always piping hot. The portions are also quite large. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the building is noticeably very clean. I would 100% recommend this place if you typically enjoy Asian food! ?Kid-friendliness: They only have two official child meal options but they offer non spicy options though out the adult menu and the adult portions are more than enough to share.”

“What a great place! The man that runs it is fantastic, very nice and accommodating. The sushi is in my opinion a step above anything else you can get on the island. 10/10 would recommend”

“Best cinnamon bun I’ve had in ages. Delightfully light and crispy croissant with the acidity from the blueberries and the sweetness from the cream was a wonderful combination. Friendly staff, definitely not judgmental considering I walked out with about 10 different pastries. lol… but they are for sharing, and sharing is caring …. However much I just want to eat them all.”

“Absolutely outstanding Ethiopian food. Flavourful, spicy and very satisfying. Price and portion are great. I have eaten Ethiopian in Toronto many times, this is far better!”

“I know this isn't the most up to date of reviews, but I visited The Ship several times when I was in St. John in about 1993 and still have fond memories of it being one of the friendliest pubs I have ever been to.”

“Best sushi in town! Good bang for your buck, However every time I order takeout I never get the spicy mayo that’s supposed to be on the “spicy rolls” which is honestly a big reason I get it.”

“Always amazing service and food. Excellent with kids and affordable prices with the amount of food they give and the quality is amazing.if your having a hard day the servers there will make it better with there smiles and attitudes. You never leave hungry plus they make all there food gluten free if you need it with still the same great taste”

“This is a message, not a complaint, but this is my go to place for bubble tea. However, lately their quality is dipping, got a couple of drinks with brown sugar bubble, they were rock hard. Plus, their memberships gave us something to save in terms of money, but now not that too. Getting too expensive.”

“One of the best places to hang out if you want to enjoy some local atmosphere and get a custom drink. My favourite here is their Chai latte, taking a sip while watching traffic out is truly heaven.”

“This gem situated near Sheraton Hotel is a fun and cool place to hang out with friends or hustle alone. The staff is friendly. The fried tofu and drunken noodles are one of the best here. Besides, they serve glorious light roast coffee.”

“It was our 1st time at Piatto. Service was fabulous. Food was pretty good. The noise level was quite high with music level pretty loud. It was difficult to have a conversation over the noise”

“Great authentic baked products. Electronic payments? The cat sitting on the floor is maybe an authentic touch that could be reconsidered. Overall for bagels and bread cannot be beaten.”

“The bakery is absolutely phenomenal. It's as if I've been whisked away to a charming European bakery with exquisite food, drinks, and ambiance. Every item I've sampled has been outstanding, particularly the bagels and their apple flips – the best I've ever had! The atmosphere is enchanting, and I adore the thoughtful design of the space. If you visit and the leather chairs are vacant, do yourself a favour and claim them – they're incredibly cozy! I'm utterly smitten with Postmaster's Bakery.”
