We had a great experience stopping by this family owned vegan restaurant during our visit in St. John’s. (We are not vegans) We found this place from online reviews about local favourites in town and this place did not disappoint. The owner Loi is so kind and generous and immediately served us with tea and soup upon sitting. We ordered the squash roll and shanghai noodles and a rice dish. Each dish was full of flavour and complimentary home made sauce was provided to add to your liking. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, vegan or not, local or traveller. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Peaceful loft has been a place where my boyfriend & I have come to for great food for over a year now.
BBQ duck is our favourite dish🤩 we love it!
This was such a wonderful experience in hospitality and delicious food! I brought three non-vegans and everyone enjoyed their food! I'm also allergic to gluten and the owner took excellent care and made sure I didn't taste any of my friends' dishes which contained gluten ❤️ I can't wait to eat there again!!
Coming from Toronto, I didn’t expect good Chinese food in Newfoundland. However, I have to give this place 5*!! The owner of this restaurant is super friendly. I can tell he loves what he does. He greeted us with a big smile, served us like we are his family. And omg…the food was super delicious!! No msg, high quality ingredients..what can I ask for more?!
it's a 10 out of 10!
Paolo was so sweet and interesting. We didn't had the time to sit and we already had a soup served. The portions were generous and so good. It is nice to have a restaurant 100% vegan and being able to order anything on the menu. Been there while on a trip to St John and I felt so welcome. It was an amazing experience. I recommend 100%

This may be the best Chinese food you will find in Atlantic Canada, let alone in St. John's. They make traditional Chinese dishes, while substituting meat with their own house-made meat substitutes made with soy, gluten, etc. The flavours are detailed and so beautifully rich, staying true to the flavours of the original dish - e.g. soy fish made with seaweed to give it an ocean flavour, or gluten marinated and grilled like char siu BBQ pork. You'll also get free house-made sauces which vary by the day, free soup, and free green tea. The portions are great, and the prices are great - less than $20 for nearly all dishes. All of this comes from the pure passion the old couple from Macau have for their art. The man (server) is a retired engineer in his 70s who opened the restaurant just to express his craft and not for any profit motives. The space is decorated with beautiful art and wise calligraphy, showing all that the couple has learned through their life. I have nothing but the utmost respect for them, and I highly recommend that everyone finding themselves in St. John's tries this food whether they are vegan or not!
Amazing food with an amazing manager and cook serving and explaining as you enjoy your experience
And their home made hot sauce 🔥🔥💯💯
This place was highly recommended to us to visit, as a vegan family visiting from Ontario. The owner was so friendly, offered soup, beautiful home made sauces, fruit for my children, warming tea from Thailand all free of charge. The owner explained all of the dishes to us along with his recommendations. The portions are very generous, 4 of us shared 3 entrees. He also provided us with some recommendations on attractions and places to visit while we are here. We can not wait to return to St Johns to visit again.
The owner is very nice, and the food is very delicious. I see a lot of people complaining about service, but what they don’t know, is that it is a 2 person business, with the owner being the cashier and waiter and everything downstairs, and his wife is making all the food upstairs. I also see people complaining about the seating, where the owner will say that there’s no room, but they see “empty tables”. Those tables are for the delivery food. All in all, this is one of the best restaurants in town, and anyone who complains about it doesn’t know what’s going on beneath.
I had a wonderful dinner here on my last night in St. John’s! I needed something different after too much fried food, and Peaceful Loft was nearby. The owners are so sweet, sharing delicious and fresh homemade sauces with us and generously pouring green tea. We were even given fruit at the end of our tasty meal. I’d happily eat here again when I’m in town next :)
