The prices are a little high but the portion sizes are large. Try the touton breakfast sandwich, you won't regret it.

Good local music every night of the week and pub food on the menu. Always a time.

The Merchant Tavern is actually a great restaurant but I like going for a drink, sitting at the central bar, and people watching. Try a gin & tonic made with locally made Third Place Tonic water.

Sightseeing

This is the spot to get those classic 'from above' shots of St. John's. Also, the place where Marconi received the first wireless signal. If you have an hour, hike the North Head Trail that connects Signal Hill with the Battery.

They have the best selection of locally designed t-shirts. Way cooler than typical souvenir shirts.

The Rooms is our provincial archives, museum, and art gallery all rolled into one. They also served a fantastic brunch in their cafe, with stunning views of the harbour.

Parks & Nature

I love having the East Coast Trail so close to home. This path is challenging but worth it. Trail heads are by the Marine Centre in Logy Bay and in Quidi Vidi.
