Walking inside around 7pm on a Monday in July, I got a table for one right away. Within minutes, I was ordering a flight of four different sour ales. (They have six or so on the draft menu.) My favorite was the guava sour ale! To eat, I got the shrimp salad, which was really tasty! It comes with two skewers of shrimp, each with five pieces of grilled shrimp.

We swung by in the early afternoon, just after the lunch crowd at most places would be easing off, but Bannerman was impressively going strong from when we arrived through to our departure! We were seated at one of their picnic-esque tables near the back of the room, taking in the high ceilings and the lovely work done to reuse this historic fire hall. I snagged a half pint of one of their light and refreshing lagers, while my wife partook in their caffeinated offerings. It's nice to be able to get both, and the warm, communal feeling of the space was a nice contrast to the cold and clinical vibe that can sometimes come with Third Wave places. Wanting to refuel after a dizzying hike on the North Head Trail, we ordered the mushroom flatbread, steamed buns, and pierogis. My wife's mushroom flatbread arrived first, with the not-pizza leaning heavily into savoury, earthy flavours with sauteed, locally harvested mushrooms, shaved truffles, and smoked gouda. While I fundamentally disagree with arugula being on pizzas and their brethren, its peppery bite helped cut through the otherwise rich flatbread. While I certainly shared my two apps, I was glad to have them mostly to myself! The food in general isn't inexpensive at Bannerman and $17 for two steamed buns was a bit of a pill to swallow, but the quality was thankfully there to back its price tag. Succulent, shredded pork was jam-packed into the pleasantly-chewy, folded buns, and topped with the contrasting tastes and textures of slices of white onion, crispy onions, and micro greens. The pierogi of the day had a lentil filling, and the savoury legumes lent themselves well to these deep-fried dumplings. The ultra-crispy exterior easily gave way to the doughy interior and the lentils within. Almost stealing the show was the onion confit sour cream, whose velvety smooth airiness had the perfect amount of caramelized onion flavour. Bannerman could/should sell this stuff on its own! Even after just one visit, it's easy to see how Bannerman's combination of craft beer,top-notch coffee, creative bites, and a beautiful space in an award-winning adaptive reuse has made for a place that's more than the sum of its parts, and has become a destination for locals and tourists alike.

The food is heartwarming, flavourful and fresh, taking nods from Serbia and Turkey in the use of spices and the kinds of food on offer. Phyllo pastry pies, beef sausages, tomato, cucumber and feta salad... it was all beautifully prepared and delicious. Dessert was a light and beautiful berry and yoghurt cake. Only item that wasn't perfectly presented were the potato and onion, and spinach and feta pies - they were heated with a microwave, so the phyllo was a bit soft, instead of being crisp. But flavours were pretty wonderful! Looking forward to seeing where this place goes. Bring your family and friends, you won't be disappointed!

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, and they have some ingredients that aren't otherwise readily available in St. John's.

As a vegetarian, the only thing I've tried from the takeout is chana masala. Tasty, but I like mine a little more zippy on the spice mixture.

Great name for an ice cream shop!…read more I was told by a local friend this is the place to come for ice cream. Lately I've been enjoying different ice cream flavours so I was looking forward to testing out some Newfoundland Ice cream! The evening we came here was slightly cold and a very windy night (typical windy NF night). When Its super cold it's not really the mood for ice cream but I have had ice cream in colder weather! The store location is just up the hill from downtown. My local friends mentioned that the specialty is the turtle cheesecake ice cream. Also mentioned was the soft serve is really good and different from your regular soft serve. So, the choice was one scoop turtle cheesecake on a waffle cone. Delicious, creamy and not too sweet. A great finish to the evening after dinner. They also have containers to take home if you just need some moo moos!
