We walked past this restaurant so many times on our way downtown but never stopped in until it was recommended to us as one of the better restaurants in St. John’s. We are very glad we came!
The ambiance upstairs is nice enough, but we eventually moved downstairs and ate at the bar which we enjoyed
We got a reservation here on a whim and were pleasantly surprised with the food and cozy atmosphere. The charcuterie board is a must get and they even have a small storefront inside which sells the meats and cheeses individually. I did find the cod too be on the saltier side, though.
Our best meal while visiting St John's for the weekend. The Grilled meat board for sharing was exceptional, as was the goat cheese dip. Definitely one of the better restaurants in the city, especially for pork.
Absolutely perfect experience. John was an exemplary host who could teach a master class in serving. The charcuterie board for two was amazing and the oysters were beyond fresh. Can't say enough good things about Clinched. Pork, pork, pork for the win baby. Oink 🐷
Food has always been good, and I gave it a 5-star rating 4 years ago. However, I am back to change it to a 4-star rating now because I feel really hurt. I have celebrated my birthday three times here in the past, but this year, I am extremely disappointed. We made a reservation a week before my birt
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
Our experience at Chinched was absolutely delicious. We shared a small charcuterie and cheese board (had a pancetta, summer sausage, aged cheddar and brie) - the meats were so flavourful, the apricot compote was a great addition, and the spiced nuts were good on their own or with the meat and cheese
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.
The dill pork ears are seriously good! Also, I cannot attest others experience but the waiter is super super nice. One of my friends forget the stuff and one of the waiter chased us to ask if we lost our staff. Going well and beyond the service and didn’t accept any appreciation tip at the end. Will
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 eve
Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere. I ate the pan fried cod and it was amazing. I’ve had an incredible amount of fish living in Newfoundland and this has been one of the best. Very flaky and just the right amount of salt. I would recommend this restaurant to ANYONE. Such a great
Great restaurant in St John’s, unique menu, fresh local foods. Oyster were super fresh, fun way to eat pig ears and the Cod was delicious. Cheese and meat board was well made.
Adequate service, though no very personal, we still felt taken care of.
Definitely recommend this place.
Great refined dining in the heart of St. John's. Chinched bistro's staff is friendly and personable, which made the entire experience that much refined.
Prices are high when compared to other restaurants in the area, but the food is worth a visit for a special occasion. The mussels and fried seafoo
Absolutely an amazing restaurant that we stumbled upon during our trip to St. Johns. The food was the best we had during our trip - the Bao and Potato Wrapped Cod earned them 5 stars in its self. Our server was one of the best I've ever had, he was so personable and attentive - he even provided us w
Really nice place! The service was great and the food was tasty. It was the best restaurant that I've tried during my trip.
Amazing food and service. Had the curry fish cakes and a cheese plate, which were both incredible. Cocktails were also some of the best I've had! Would recommend for anyone visiting newfoundland looking for great food, atmosphere and service.
Had an excellent time at Chinched. We ordered the crispy pig ears, the mushroom oyster pizza, some oysters, the cheese board, and a few drinks. The food was excellent, the pig ears were the only thing we were not impressed by. The server was very friendly and made good suggestions. Easy to book
Our first stop and food in Newfoundland and it did not disappoint. Danny was the best bartender and made us feel welcome and excited for the rest of our trip. Cool atmosphere and even tried pig ears which are a must try🤍
