Classic Cafe East - St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

This is a very nice breakfast and lunch spot. They do only have about 12 tables and it took us an hour and a half to get seated and get our food. There were only about 2 waiters who were working as fast as they could work however. REALLY great ... food on both the breakfast and lunch menu. The wait was worth it for a nice group brunch. There is patio seating but it wasn't open when I was there. Read more

A very typical diner style restaurant. They had a number of Newfoundland specialties. I had a breakfast with eggs and bacon. The bacon was well cooked and the eggs fresh. The homefries were just OK. Most important was the service was excellent. The waitress was very patient as the "tourists" asked ... lots of questions on our first morning in Newfoundland. A reasonably priced place serving good food. Read more

The place was very packed when we arrived and the service was slightly slow. In their defense, there was one waiter and a lot of people were coming and going. I decided to order the classic breakfast and it was quite standard fare. The actual standout thing was the bread. ... It seems like their bread was either homemade or freshly baked. Having very good pricing, local specialities, good bread, and bring nearby to the Hilton Hotel make this place a great spot to just get some quick brunch. Recommended Read more

Great diner! The hostess was super friendly and helpful. Great breakfast menu with some Newfie classics. And they keep the coffee running as all good diners should. Among the best touton I’ve ever had! Be careful with the hungry man breakfast though, that portion is huge! Would definitely recommend!

Great classic east coast diner! Solid portions and really tasty stuff. Simple fare but perfect after or before a long hike. Staff are super friendly and the place is always full. Probably the best Touton in Saint John’s!! Prices are super reasonable. I highly recommend the fish and brewis for a ... classic dish. Would fully recommend!! Read more
