The 10 Best Brunches In St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador
"Chinched Bistro serves up the best in seafood and meats, with options like potato wrapped cod and Point Leamington suckling pig with cheddar grits, bacon braised greens, apricot compote and a pan-dripping vinaigrette. The menu changes seasonally. You’re bound to leave happy, so make sure this bistro is on your list when heading out to Sunday brunch."

"Turquoise walls and a gallery wall of pig-themed art sets the tone for this relaxed dining room and deli, where house-made charcuterie flies off the shelves and the happy hour’s pig ear fries are a favourite. The seasonal bistro menu is also decidedly meat-heavy with small plates like rabbit poutine and Southern-style fried chicken livers."

[UPDATED 2020] Best Restaurants in St. John's Newfoundland
"Ranked as one of the top ten best new restaurants in Canada by enRoute Magazine in 2015, Adelaide Oyster House’s tiny sliver of a dining room continues to overflow each night with friendly foodies. Chef Chris Mercer has worked at Adelaide Oyster House since shortly after its inception, starting out as an oyster shucker and line cook to taking on the role of Executive Chef. The popular restaurant in St. John’s also has a unique cocktail program, featuring some of the most talented mixologists on The Rock."

The 17 Essential Restaurants of St. John’s, Newfoundland
"While the Adelaide Oyster House is known for shucking the best oysters from across the continent, the reverence for its tacos is what made it one of the most popular eateries in St. John’s. The tuna taco and fish taco are worthy of your time, as are Kobe beef lettuce wraps with Japanese “mac” sauce, housemade kimchi, and rice puffs (which have been on the menu since day one). Expect a trendy ambiance: the lights are low and the music is loud, while the space is laden with dark clapboard and wood tables."

"Like many of the best parts of Newfoundland, the Gypsy Courtyard opens up when summer finally hits St. John’s. Walking quickly down Water Street you might miss the entrance to this place, but once you’re inside it’s easy to feel transported to a small European square. Mojitos, daiquiris and beer towers pair with wood oven-fired pizzas, fresh mussels cooked in white wine and crispy chickpea salads."

Prices: $2.75 to $5.75 Must-try: The Chai Latte ($5.10) made with their own chai syrup, which is loaded with spicy cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, ginger, star anise and tea extract Pairs perfectly with: One of their homemade Montreal-style bagels with miso maple butter for a gourmet version of this staple breakfast"

"Nothing needs to be fixed about this cafe in downtown St. John’s. Fixed Coffee & Baking serves some of the best caffeinated drinks in town, typically using beans from Nova Scotia’s Laughing Whale Coffee Roasters, but have recently gotten into pouring their own blend from the owner’s offshoot Bonavista Coffee Company. Delicately slowed-poured coffees and lovingly pulled espressos are sipped by regulars as they munch on amazing breakfast bagel sandwiches, fresh pastries and local farm salads."

"With a warm and welcoming ambiance and a traditional pub-style feel, Bridie Molloy’s doesn’t just serve cold beers. Bridies hosts a delicious menu that includes mouth-watering sandwiches like the BLT, thick, juicy tomato, crisp lettuce, and thick bacon all piled high on freshly toasted bread. Try the French onion soup, a rich, red wine and beef broth simmered with caramelized onions and finished with crispy croutons and melted mozzarella cheese if you fancy something lighter."
