Storm Brewery Newfoundland
I just tried the Storm Coffee Porter at The Duke the other day. Life changing. I am not a beer connoisseur , sadly, but this has some amazing qualities, not too coffee"y" not bitter, smooth round mouth feel. I could make this my new favorite breakfast drink, meal replacement ...LOVE IT!
Lunch at Gypsy Tea Room
A bottle of Carpineto Dogajolo Bianco. Perfect for lunch. Medium bodied, in between a Chardonnay and a Savignon Blanc perhaps...not oaky, not too tart. The Goldilocks of whites? :)
Chicken wrap special with sweet potato fries
Sea Scallops with Dill Dijon Cream
Cod Chowder with vegetable cream sauce and garnished with mussels
Chinched
I don't know what else to say about this place except I love it. I've been in St. John's less that 3 months and have eaten here 3 or 4 times now. Love the bar menu. As someone that dines alone a lot but loves to sample several things...this place is heaven! Love what they are doing. Local, homemade, lots of love goes on to their plates for sure. Great service as well. Just go already!
House made Charcuterie. Divine.
Cornmeal Crusted Chicken Livers, Smoked Tomato Mayo, Bacon Marmalade
Korean Braised Pork Belly with Kimchi, Coconut Sticky Rice and Cilantro
