Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in St. John's

"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."

"Shaun Hussey and Michelle LeBlanc first opened the doors of Chinched Bistro in 2010. Skip into Chinched Bistro and you’ll find a chic bar, deli counter, petite patio and seating for 65 in a dining room split between two floors. The popular St. John’s restaurant’s interior was designed by Sam Follett of Plank Design."

"Piatto Pizzeria + Enoteca’s eateries (there are two in St. John’s and four throughout Atlantic Canada) are the only pizzerias certified by Naples’ VPN east of Montreal. Expect affordable Neapolitan-style pizzas, great Italian wine and cocktails in their signature red and black dining rooms decorated with full-size red Vespas. The wood-fired pizzas range from a traditional Margherita to “the Stephanie” with goat cheese, prosciutto crackle, caramelized pears, and balsamic reduction — a pie that has reached celebrity status in St. John’s."

"This is a chain, but well worth visiting for the thin crust, wood fire stove-baked pizza. Intriguing toppings, friendly atmosphere, and delicious food. Go for the Pizze Bianche Pollo Barbeque – swoon!"

"Hidden on McMurdo’s Lane between Duckworth and Water Streets, the Duke of Duckworth is an iconic watering hole that serves up some of the best pub grub in the city. Pints of Guinness and local beer flow endlessly at this small, always bustling bar, making “the Duke” everything a local should be. The fish and chips are iconic, but the huge bowls of chowder are one of the best-kept secrets in the city."

"For a taste of classic pub food head here to enjoy the cozy and traditional pub atmosphere. I’ve read in multiple places that the Duke of Duckworth serves the best plate of fish n’ chips in the province and after tasting it for myself I couldn’t argue. There have a ton of local beers on offer and plenty on tap."

Officially opened in 1891, St. John’s popular urban park was named after Sir Alexander Bannerman, Governor of the Colony of Newfoundland between 1857 and 1864."

"The largest municipal park in St John's has a very British feel, with its manicured lawns, shady trees, surrounding brick buildings and general green good looks. There's a playground and walking trails on-site,..."

"Greensleeves is an Irish pub with a surprising number of beers on tap, and their Happy Hour is 4-6PM everyday. There’s a really excellent martini bar upstairs called Loose Tie as well. It doesn’t have drink specials as far as I know, but it’s a good place to run to when your life is falling apart."

"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."
