We thoroughly enjoyed this quaint Gastropub on an unassuming corner of Duckworth street. We…read morehappened to arrive right when they opened at 11am, and we were able to select from their brunch or lunch menu. Hubby and I both ordered from their lunch menu. I had my eye on the PB&J burger that I had seen on Yelp, as peanut butter is my favorite thing ever! This burger did not disappoint. While the combo sounds strange, the flavors were well-balanced with the brie cheese, caramelized onions and bacon. The meat was cooked to a perfect medium and the hamburger bun was soft. I chose the kettle chips for my side, and they tasted house made. Very delicious! The only thing I didn't like about this burger was the price tag = $22. Hubby had the seafood chowder for $17 and it was enough for a full meal. He said the chowder was very flavorful and full of seafood. He was in heaven! We both ordered a Quidi Vidi 1892 amber ale on draft. They only had 7 beers on tap and I wished that they had a medium or dark beer, but this area doesn't seem to be big on that. They do have Guinness in a can, if that's your thing. Service was friendly and the food came out relatively fast. The booths were comfy and the pub reminded me of a cozy neighborhood bar. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

Some of our favorites were the curries and garlic naan - it doesn't get much simpler yet oh-so-comforting than that! The interior is dimly lit so it sets an intimate ambiance - perfect for a special night out.

In search of something different than pub food, we went to India Gate for vegetarian fare and were…read morenot disappointed. Mains don't come with rice, but a single order of rice plus plain naan was more than enough for our two dishes. Flavorful and a good amount of spice, plus friendly service made this a good dinner decision.

I didn't realize this was a hotel restaurant when I booked the reservation, and I'm glad for it…read morebecause this place was so much better than I expected. We went for the "let the kitchen cook for you" option and had an utterly memorable meal. My favorites were the snow crab (pre-cut impeccably for easy eating), razor clams, lobster salad, NF welks (small sea snails), and the pavlova dessert paired with tart rhubarb and sorbet instead of the usual whipped cream (plus a few AMAZING perfectly ripe strawberries for our off-menu option). But the quail was also perfectly seasoned and the beef tongue was literally melt-in-your-mouth... seriously, I've now listed most of the meal, it was all really delicious. For drinks, I had a mocktail with surprising complexity and then followed up with an alcoholic "something nice" -- you can be as vague or specific as you like and the bar will make you something interesting. I got a delicious floral drink made with lilac syrup that was exactly the vibe I asked for.

Also many thanks to the staff for accommodating our request for a slightly different chair which made such a difference to our comfort. They really do some innovative things with both the food and cocktails here. It really was a great experience. Definitely a special occasion spot! We probably overdid it on the amount of dishes, but it was seafood season, so we could not help ourselves. We shared everything. The lobster was a particular fave, as was the crab cake. But the halibut and mussel salad were also great. Modern vibe. If you end up in the middle of the restaurant you may end up looking into the kitchen. Wonderful dining experience. Would have rated 4.5 stars if I could.

The bagel is a bit on the smaller side than what I am used to, but it still hit the spot. The interior is a bit eclectic, and there are some picnic benches you can sit at outside.

The Battery Cafe seems to be sort of a landmark in St John's. It's right at the corner where people…read morewho are driving to Signal Hill must pass by. We walked to both places so driving and parking was not a problem. Interestingly there were a lot of classic vehicles going by. You can order beer, cocktails, soup, sandwiches and even coffee. We sat outside at the deck. It was really nice to sit and watch the people, cars and motorcycles pass by. The sandwiches ar interesting and not oversized or over priced. There is secure WiFi although it seemed to have difficulty reaching the deck. If you walked to Signal Hill you should stop at the Battery Cafe because you'll walk right past it and you deserve it. The Newfoundland sundae with jam and ice cream is worth ordering on a warm day.

My only issue is the food, the pasta was thick and glubby. The pizza was so thin I couldn't actually pick it up so much so I had to eat pizza with a fork and knife which just felt wrong. One last thing: these guys definitely know what mozzarella cheese is, maybe not how to use it.

Includes cheese, lettuce, sour cream, tomato and refried beans. Was everything you could want in a taco and in late night munchies food. Can't recommend this place enough!
