A St. John's must. Superb all around.This was our first meal in St. John's the day we arrived, and we enjoyed it so much that we made a reservation to return for our last meal on our last night before flying out. Everything we had over the two meals was delicious: the oysters, pate platter, sausage platter, tuna, shrimp salad, potato cod, lobster brodo, and the preserved lemon cake. Good cocktails, beers, and wines. Dishes are very flavourful and well portioned for the price and upscale yet comfortable overall concept. The service was warm and on point both nights, making us feel very welcome and valued as visitors. Easily in the top 5 restaurants in Canada we've been to in 5+ years. If you have to choose between Chinched and one of the other popular restaurants in the St. John's area, don't make the mistake of missing out.
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.
What a terrific evening we had at Chinched. Everything we ate was delicious and the staff were attentive and knowledgeable. We bought some of their in-house sausages on our way out and they were delicious. We highly recommend Chinched - it is mostly a sharing style restaurant but this just means you can sample several dishes and experience them all together. We cannot wait to go back.
Fabulous food, great service, never disappoints.
It was ok. Portions are not really what i expected, like the bread, soup, glass of wine etc for the price however it is tasty...and good service!
I was there for supper with my brother and the food was tasty and creative especially the charcuterie boards dun up with there own cured meats and if you love oysters this is a place for you they offered three sauces made in house and don't forget about dessert we had the chocolate cannoli which was rich tasting and nice and light at the same time it was delicious but the over the top was the creme brulee just a classic but with a delectable twist you'll definitely want to try it at the end of your meal. At the end I can't wait to have another lovely evening at Chinched!
The service and food are great. We love the atmosphere too!
Out with friends and shared an eclectic variety of apps and mains. Very shareable menu. The cocktails were inventive and worth the price. Good variety of wines and local beer. Everyone told us to try the pigs ears which was interesting …. But a once only thing. All the meats on the charcuterie plate were cured there. Service was good and quick, which was great for a sharing meal.
Great selection of meats with delicious sides, fitting for all hungers offering small and larger plates (shareable and individual). Desserts are equally yummy!We tried duck, pork belly, pork medallions, vienna sausage, pavlova and creme blûlée - loved every single bit!
Great little spot to grab some yummy deli meats and pickles! Had such a wonderful service and they totally helped us build the perfect sandwich with recommendations on where to get the perfect bread to accompany our meat!
