It's almost unheard of in Newfoundland: full-on
vegetarian food. So savor your marinated tofu burger, walnut-pesto-melt sandwich and
brown rice poutine (fries served under miso gravy) before leaving town.

Yes, many tourists eat here, but it's still a swell place to soak up harbor views and fork
into Newfie standards like toutons, fish 'n' brewis, seafood chowder and fishcakes, plus
omelettes and sandwiches.

Chinched is St John's first real foodie restaurant, the kind that offers mega-quality
dishes but without the white-tablecloth pretense. So belly up in the warm, dark-wood
room for octopus tacos or Newfoundland wild mushroom risotto. The meaty menu
changes regularly. The young chefs' creativity extends to the singular desserts (say, wild
nettle ice cream) and spirits (partridgeberry vodka) made in-house.
If you don't want to commit to a full meal, the bar menu lets you sample dishes for $6
to $7.
