Guidebook for St. John's
Food Scene
This place is a must-do. Awesome spot for any meal of the day, but really shines during it's weekend brunch, esp sunday afternoons (fantastic, low-key live music). Make a reservation as far in advance as possible. Their beer garden is also a great place to spend a sunny afternoon. Family friendly

Japanese fusion. Awesome drinks, incredible sushi, and hands-down the best steak in the city. Place typically moves at a slower pace, so best to make sure you're not in any rush if going there. Always a great meal.

Probably the best hidden gem in St. John's. Nothing fancy, just absolutely fantastic Indian food for a very reasonable price. Good take-out option, although hours are limited, so maybe best to call ahead. Highly recommended.
