Top Best Seafood Restaurants in St. John's

"Ranked as one of the top ten best new restaurants in Canada by enRoute Magazine in 2015, Adelaide Oyster House’s tiny sliver of a dining room continues to overflow each night with friendly foodies. Chef Chris Mercer has worked at Adelaide Oyster House since shortly after its inception, starting out as an oyster shucker and line cook to taking on the role of Executive Chef. The popular restaurant in St. John’s also has a unique cocktail program, featuring some of the most talented mixologists on The Rock."

"While the Adelaide Oyster House is known for shucking the best oysters from across the continent, the reverence for its tacos is what made it one of the most popular eateries in St. John’s. The tuna taco and fish taco are worthy of your time, as are Kobe beef lettuce wraps with Japanese “mac” sauce, housemade kimchi, and rice puffs (which have been on the menu since day one). Expect a trendy ambiance: the lights are low and the music is loud, while the space is laden with dark clapboard and wood tables."

"Don’t let the name fool you, SJFX is one of hippest St. John’s bars with patios with a great location right along the waterfront with a modern patio overlooking the harbour. True to the ​“Fish Exchange” moniker, SJFX features a menu of fresh, authentic Newfoundland seafood including oysters, mussels and lobster. The drink menu also has many nautically themed cocktails, including ​“Saltwater Joys” and ​“The Old Hag."

"This Water Street mainstay offers gourmet comfort food in a cozy, relaxed, and intimate setting. For brunch, Oliver’s Breakfast Banana Split with granola, mixed berries, fruit, yogurt, and maple drizzle is a must-try. Hoping for something heartier?"

"Ches’s Fish & Chips is a true Newfoundland tradition, and has the best fish & chips in town - this is a locals' favorite place, and there are several locations in town.
