About Mallard Cottage

Mallard Cottage is a restaurant located in St. John's that offers a tasting menu and wine pairing. The restaurant is known for its outstanding service, with a sommelier who is open and honest with his recommendations. It features a variety of dishes, with standouts including bluefin tuna and bread made in-house. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and cozy, providing a lovely contrast to the typical "upscale" vibe of tasting menu restaurants. The food is of exceptional quality, beautifully presented, and includes locally sourced options, with vegetarian choices available, though the menu is limited.

The restaurant also offers a substantial breakfast menu, including options like baloney bacon and brisket. While on the pricier side, the bread and butter, as well as the coffee, receive praise for being worth the cost. The historic building adds to the charm, and the staff are described as friendly and attentive, creating a beautiful experience for guests. There may be a short delay for a table, but the dishes and overall experience are said to be worth the wait. Recently, diners have enjoyed special treatment and memorable moments, including fresh samples of tuna caught that day, making their visit truly special.
