a must go for anyone, vegan or otherwise. wonderful little shop very friendly owners.

The owner is awesome, and the food even better. I had the squash spring rolls and the king oyster chicken dish. Both were outstanding. Loved the hot sauce. Best I have every had.. more of a medium/mild heat. read more

At first, you may be caught off guard with the pure kindness and generosity but have no fear. This HAS to be the BEST combination of quality food with outstanding service. It felt like a friend invited me over to dinner. This was my second visit and I just had to come leave a review. Thank you Paulo for this memorable experience! I was too busy eating to take pictures of the food but here's a picture of the homemade sauces provided at no charge. (Also the green tea they serve is probably the best you'll ever try) read more

Neither words nor pictures will do justice to this small family run restaurant! Owners are very personable and friendly, food is simply AMAZING! I will definitely be sure to visit every time I visit St. John's. read more

The service is impeccable. Our server greeted us with green tea (leaves from Taiwan), soup, and three delicious sauces for our meals. He also explained the menu and gave suggestions; he was incredibly kind. There are six tables and they will switch to take out only if they're busy so call ahead. We were a bigger group and split everything; it was all outstanding. Patron this restaurant! read more

Do not bother I walked a mile to eat there during their posted business hours. I walked in and was told "take out only" despite the fact there were two tables of people eating there They are liars, hypocritical and unethical read more

What an amazing dining experience, it is like nothing you will ever experience, and the food is top tier. Paulo is such a lovely man. His service goes above and beyond anything I've experienced. I can't wait to dine with him again. read more

Peaceful Loft Vegetarian Restaurant - Singapore noodles - Vegan Near Me - Saint John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

Lots of delicious vegan food choices and great hospitality and service from the restaurant owner. Highly recommended!

Stop by after tour at St. John's, what a great restaurant! the peace roll is a must to have, BBQ port, fish curry, gong bao tofu, and pineapple rice just are the best vegetarian dishes you can image. Taste is so good!!! Staff is super friendly. A lot of dishes were created by owner themselves, they are unique and delicious. so much passion and creativity they put into the food. read more

Delicious food. Everything on the menu is 100% vegan. It's a macau-chinese style restaurant Even meat-eaters will love this place. Fantastic textures, complimentary soup and TVP topping with every order and green tea for dine in. A small operation. Just husband and wife so takeout or dine in is limited during busy periods but is absolutely worth the wait even then. Very reasonable prices and delicious food with top notch service. A must have for anyone who loves good food, not just vegans, though it's a must have for them too. Menu subject to ingredient availability and occasional changing specials. read more

I loved this place, the food was great and the service awesome. If you are vegetarian you have many options and in the menu indicates if there is gluten in the dish. They give you hot tea and soup when you arrive, I really appreciated that because of the cold outside. Is a small family owned restaurant. The owner is really nice, he took the time to talk to me and suggested places to visit in the city. Is definitely my favorite!!! read more

Fantastic little spot. The owner was welcoming and didn't hesitate to answer our questions. This was my first time here and will definitely return before my week is up St. John's. I had the king/enoki mushroom dish and it was amazing. A nice squash soup to start and endless green tea. I would recommend this place to everyone. read more

One of those little hidden gems in saint johns is the peaceful loft. Family owned, family run. We were met by a delightful man who was so friendly and so attentive. He was the waitress, the host, the everything guy and then we asked him who he was and he explained he was the owner. He was very friendly, very attentive and very interested in his customers happiness. The food was delicious. I ordered the African chicken (not real chicken-vegan) but I couldn't tell the difference. The peaceful roll is their staple is an appetizer (go figure). The prices are very good and everything is made fresh daily. The only fault I must comment on is the decor. It's rough and tumble looking lol... it's overdue to clean the place up and do some improvements. I like the food a lot. I like the owner and I will definitely be back. read more

This place was an unexpected surprise! Companion and I were looking for something not deep fried after a long day of travel but wanted to prepare for our meetings the next morning. We stumbled upon Peaceful Loft and were lucky to have done so. Service was great, portions were huge and so very tasty! I'll go again! read more

My friend recently moved towards a Vegan lifestyle so she asked if a group of us would check out Peaceful Loft with her. I was very pleasantly surprised. The owner serves all the customers making it a very personalized experience. Everyone gets free soup and tea and he even threw in some chinese candies. "Vegan" meat tends to be made with gluten so a majority of the plates I couldn't eat, but there were enough choices that it didn't really matter. I had the jumble bean balls and the stir fried noodles. The noodle dish looked bland but once I started eating it it had a very nice smoky flavour. The value for what you get is also amazing compared to other restaurants in St. John's, which is always a plus! read more

Tried it for the first time today. Everything was so flavourful and delicious! Tried the Peaceful Roll, 'pork' dumpling, barbecued 'pork' with 'duck', and a variety of other tofu and noodle dishes. Everything was fresh, tasty, and filling. Absolutely must-try if you're a vegetarian living or visiting St. John's! read more

Top notch service and food. The owners are hospitable and this is some of the best food of this cuisine we've had. We had the kung pao and African chicken, both were excellent! Went back the next day and had that plus the Singapore noodles. Great restaurant! read more

Delicious !! Welcoming atmosphere, host was friendly and very informative. The tea and soup at the beginning were tasty ! My first time but I'll definitely be back !!! read more

I am giving this restaurant a 0 star but there's no 0. My husband and I have eaten at this restaurant several times over the past few years. But - We had just arrived in St John's last night and were hungry. We walked into a half empty restaurant and the owner looks up from the cash register across the room and very rudely shouts at us "we are full." The restaurant has plenty of tables and no one was waiting for a seat. The diners all looked up from their meals to see who he was shouting at. We are middle age people and are not used to being treated so rudely especially when walking into a restaurant to eat. The owner coud have said politely the tables are reserved (they were not) or sorry we will be closing soon (it was 7:00 and the restaurant closed at 8:00)- anything but yell at prospective customers especially customers who have given this very nasty man their business before. I am so outraged I will never return and choose to give my business to a restaurant that knows how to treat people politely. Mr Macau - you may have good vegan food but you really need to learn how to act like a human being!! read more

after a year of longing to try this place out, my friend and I finally went recently. we were greeted at the door, seated quickly and served free soup and house made sauces (which were delicious ps!) I can't tell people enough about the excellent experience I had. despite the place being completely full, we were served right away and the owner was so attentive. my water and tea were never empty before they were refilled. my food was fresh, flavorful, and not at all greasy. prices were beyond reasonable. I left feeling really happy about my first visit. the place is small and humble, which matches it's owner perfectly. I'll never forget the wonderful service I had there, and look forward to trying more dishes there in the future. read more

My husband and I aren't even vegetarian...yet, but we loved the food here. Good food and good conversation with the owner.

I don't seek out vegan restaurants since I'm not, but I was intrigued by the reviews and frankly a little desperate since virtually all other restaurants I tried were closed on Sunday!? The good news is I was wowed by this place - it's quirky - lots of handwritten notes on the wall with menu items and notes letting people know that it's just the two of them in the restaurant - the husband as waiter and wife as cook. It was delicious - stirfries mostly with all homemade sauces and lots of veggies and optional tofu or seitan with different flavors they make themselves. Not to be missed! read more

This is a new restaurant in town....opened only last fall. It's a modest little spot but the food is very good and the owner/operator very friendly and welcoming. I've been there several times already. There are few options for vegetarians in this city so I was thrilled to find this. The owner/operator serves you himself with a lovely cup of tea and bowl of soup as soon as you sit down. The Peacefull Rolls are better than any spring rolls I've had....very different from the norm and delicious to boot. They make everything, including sauces and dips from scratch and they really add to the meal. All the flavours were delicious! Quantities were excellent! Not sure of the names of the other dishes I've had, but they were all great. I'd really recommend this place and wish the owner all the luck in the world. read more

Offers some of the best authentic Chinese food in town, which happen to be vegetarian. The choices of dishes may not be many, but they are truly delicious. The spring roll and the soy chicken easily match the best ones I ever had both in China and in North America. Highly recommended. read more

I like this place. Macau style Buddhist vegan food. Super friendly proprietor, fast service eat-in or take-out.

This was my favourite food experience while in St John's. I am vegetarian and was surprised by how good this restaurant was. Reservations are recommended as the restaurant is small and busy. The service was amazing as this restaurant is a husband and wife team. The food is very tasty and has great flavours. We tried 5 dishes and left very happy. Our party consisted of vegetarians and non vegetarians and everyone was pleased. read more
