this was a completely accidental find, as we were headed through grand falls-windsor on the way…read moreback to st. john's from gros morne and wanted to grab some coffee for the rest of the drive - we headed to another cafe, which had already closed, so we asked a passerby if they knew somewhere else we could check out. they recommended the third place, which has a very pretty view of the salmonid interpretation centre nearby (which also looked really interesting but we couldn't check out since we had to get back on the road). there's abundant seating both indoors and outside, a great menu, and - most importantly, for us - great drinks! we ended up getting blueberry lemonades (if my memory is correct), which made me want to turn back to get another one once we arrived back in st. john's and my cup was empty. my friend and i had also been let down by some smoothies/lemonades earlier on in the trip, which this completely made up for, so i will always remember the third place fondly. if you're driving through, i would definitely, definitely make the detour! it's a pleasant oasis with some great drinks and friendly staff.

You would never know what this place was from the outside. It's the basement of an apartment…read morebuilding. You're not in the wrong place! The menu is written on a chalkboard and you can order before you sit down. You can tell they love what they make, vegan options as well as gourmet grilled cheese and BLTs. I got the vegan curry rice bowl. It was delicious. Definitely not what I was expecting when walking into the place. Super eclectic vibe. Decorated with antiques and you can buy local honey and stained glass pieces along with some used books. I would definitely go back and try everything on their menu.

It's amazing how many Chinese restaurants there are in Newfoundland, as even the smallest towns…read morewill have one & the largest communities will have three, four or five. It's with this, that it's a crap-shoot when it comes to Chinese consumption in Newfoundland. Nevertheless, we were in Grand Falls for the night & I liked how the outside of Tai Wan looked; so I decided to give the inside a chance. I was very happy that I did. The food came quick and it was fresh & delicious. We didn't have anything elaborate, but you can tell when something has been sitting in the back for 3 weeks & when something seems like it was bought recently. I also had a Manhattan, and while I question how often people get Manhattans here by how long it took, I was very happy with the Manhattan and the cool tiki glass it came in! In addition to the awesome tiki glasses, the interior of Tai Wan is also very elaborate and neat. (Although the wallpaper in the bathroom makes you glad you didn't drop any acid before visiting Tai Wan.) A lot of the Chinese places in Newfoundland feel like bland food that are just helping you reach your calorie requirement; but not Tai Wan - the food was actually enjoyable & I will definitely return one day.

This was a solid Canadian Chinese restaurant. Despite the name, it's not Taiwanese food. And it's…read moreopen on Sunday evening when options are more limited. The menu is pretty standard for a Chinese restaurant and the decor is pretty stereotypically Chinese. The food was, however, quite good. We ordered the ginger beef (which is what you'd expect) and the Dai Dop Woey which is a mix of various meats and veggies served on a sizzling plate. The only criticism was that the rice was a bit starchy. Overall, what we had was solid and service was decent.
