Chinched

The food was great, delicious and fresh. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had Potato wrapped Cod, special item Duck,pig eras and Oysters and all were great. Highly recommend.

Ouuuu baby was this restaurant good! We got the Lamb chop, cavatelli with mussels and cod dumplings, all of which were fantastic. The dumplings might have been the best $18 I’ve ever spent. The cheesecake for dinner was solid. Ambiance was great and the service was top notch. I’ll be back if I’m ever in the city.

Great food, friendly staff, nice ambiance. We had candied walnuts, the boards combo, grilled charcuterie platter, herb roasted beets, and cheesecake as the final touch. All were excellent. The charcuterie for both the boards and the grilled platter were outstanding. The selections of cheese fit my taste buds very well. Just love the place. There were parking spots but unlikely to handle all the guests. Fortunately we went on a Saturday and street parking spots were not too hard to find. The front entrance has several steps. Wheelchair customers'd better check if there is another entrance. Parking: Parking spots yes but unlikely to handle all guests. There are many street parking spots though.

Had a nice dinner experience at chinched! The staff was very friendly and welcoming and seem to enjoy what they do. The food was so so for me, got try the local oyster, the merasheen bay oysters with house hot sauce which were food, the cod dumplings were ok and the tuna putanesca ok, excellent risotto but unfortunately the tuna was quite salty.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Amazing music and atmosphere. I started with the strawberry fields cocktail special created by Danny best bartender ever!. I had pig ears with buffalo sauce. Sooo crispy + good. I tried the duck. Delicious! Had the punch cocktail SO YUM. Overall just so so impressed by the taste and presentation of everything the cocktails had dried flowers, so cute and the PEOPLE! Such lovely staff and the owner Michelle is such a down to earth sweetheart! You must come here!!!!

We stopped in at Chinched for a light supper on a recent trip to St. John’s, we were extremely delighted with the experience. This small inviting restaurant has an inviting glow, very cool and dark, while staying warm with a traditional feel. The staff were great and accommodating, and provided top notch advice on the menu. We tried a few drinks, the oysters and a charcuterie board. The oysters were some of the best we have had in the St. John’s area, and all the other foods were fresh, full of flavour and made in restaurant. Would highly recommend if in the downtown area, great place for a nice a date night.

The charcuterie was good. But the sausage and grilled boards were over the top stunning. Probably the best cooked sausage have ever had. The bar has a dozen local taps, same for the bottles. Wines are more limited.

It's my worst dining experience in recent 5 years for sure. I am surprised nobody said how pretentious their food was! Appetizer portion for entrees and we had to buy soup and instant noodle on the way home after dinner so we won't go to bed hungry. Had the food been any good, the small portion and price would not be an issue as we were ready to splurge on our last meal in Newfoundland, but unfortunately what we ordered gave us no confidence in ordering more from Chinched. Maybe we were unlucky with menu that night, here is what we ordered: lamb shank stay away! flavorless and chewy, I didn't know you can mess up lamb so bad, cod dumplings somehow i assumed it's American dumplings my bad, but it's 4 pieces of Asian potsticker with cod filling, not much flavor, avoid, potato-wrapped cod highly praised by waiter, tender although a bit salty for my taste, but $26 for 2 pieces of nugget-size cod was not my idea of entree, crispy pig's ear quite good, the only item met our expectation. The waiter was pleasant and courteous, but food left us wanting.....At the end of day we three so wished we had repeated our tapas experience just a few blocks down, we would have been much happier.

Been here twice now and must say that not only is the food incredible but also everyone who works here is so friendly and attentive. This team really knows how to serve great food and keep things fun and interesting at the same time. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing! From the service, to the presentation, to the taste every aspect of our visit was phenomenal. Danny is in every way, shape and form the best bartender to ever grace this island! Thank you to all of the staff!!!
