Ramen tastes really good. Serving size is just right with ample toppings on it. The tamago is really tasty too. Highly recommended for people who loves Ramen.

Safi and his family as very kind and gracious hosts. Their food is delicious, very reasonably priced, and their restaurant atmosphere makes you feel like your having a truly home cooked traditional Afghan dinner.

The Newfoundland Tea Co. Shop is a unique little shop in downtown St. John's with an absolutely beautiful aesthetic. Here you will find a large variety of hand-painted/crafted furniture, household items, some lovely games & toys for young children.

Very nice representative crafts of the province here. Most are of the higher end and quality. Not your normal t-shirt and trinket store. If you're looking for something special and unique, it's the best place to go.

One of my all time favourites in downtown st. John's. Great selection for tourists and locals alike, and has a lot of local works. Prices are good considering the stuff you're buying, and the staff are always the best.

They have so many wonderful things you don't see in your average store. Lots of items are locally made. Staff are friendly and the history of the building always gives me a thrill, knowing people from the past have been shopping in this building for many many decades.

Sightseeing

Great place to relax, smell trees and flowers, and let the kids enjoy a wonderful playground. There's parking nearby too, which is great. Highly recommend a visit to this park.

A stunning heritage property with vast grounds and beauty. Again a piece of history that one must view when in st. Johns. The Lt. Governors place should be on the list of things to see/do.

Bars and Pubs

A great little hidden gem of a place. Don't let it's location fool you; there's a lovely, friendly and fun local pub just off the main walk. The staff were friendly and the locals were great to chat and hang out with. Events here are also great such as the recent Folk Night, which was an absolute pleasure to be at. Highly recommended!

Amazing mix of rustic old downtown and modern charm. Beautiful exposed brickwork and salvaged stones built by the original Mason's 120+ years ago.
