Bacalao Nouvelle Newfoundland Cuisine

Service and food excellent! Merci!

Atmosphere, clever menu, top notch service, creative bar. Have come here on business annually for past 3 years, experience always consistently positive. One of my top 5 fav restaurants in the world. Really! Put yourself in their hands and you will have a great meal experience.

Not a menu for the indecisive: so many options are tempting here. Very much locally inspired dishes prepared exquisitely with what can only be really fresh ingredients. Fish and seafood dishes were fantastic. Interesting wine line also with several Canadian options

Lovely atmosphere and fantastic food. Service wasn't the most attentive (some members of the party wanted more drinks but waitress never returned during our meal), and since the place was mostly empty this seemed a bit off putting. However, overall I generally enjoy visiting this restaurant and will certainly go again.

After being in St John's now for ~6 weeks I must start leaving reviews because 4 & 5 starts are consistently handed out here to underwhelming restaurants. Bacalao is one of them. Went in early for Sunday brunch, table for 2.The good: place is cozy. My dish (George Street special) was fine but that's about it, nothing spectacular.The bad: Cappuccino was average (much better coffee can be found elsewhere in STJ). My GF ordered the omelette of the day and it was mediocre (and missing the mushrooms). We make much better omelettes at home! Finally, we had to wait ages for a waitress once we wanted to get the check. It was early and few tables occupied so no idea why the long wait. Lastly, almost $60 for 2 egg dishes and 2 coffees (including tip) seems overpriced considering the quality/taste.I suggest you go somewhere else for brunch.

I came for lunch on a Friday. Our server was friendly, attentive and just lovely. Our food came quickly, and it was absolutely delicious. The portion size was just right for lunch. Overall a great experience, I'll definitely be back again in the future.

Went with a large group. Staff didn't seem prepared to handle 18 people. Food to close to an hour to arrive. Portions were small, price wasn't! Dishes arrived with no plate appeal. Just meals no garnishing and folks that got meals first were done eating by time last plate arrived. Complaints of over salted was common. Establishment could use some decor and decorations that consist of more that painting hung on wall with for sale stickers along side...Overall not pleased with lunch menu choices. Though supposed to be inspired by worldly dishes it seems to be more Mediterranean sprinkled with local options.Expected better.

Great food and service! Try the seafood carbonara

We enjoyed a wonderful meal. Gary the server was friendly and very helpful. This restaurant truly has a variety of Newfoundland dishes and the pan fried cod was as fresh as one could ask for. The restaurant could use a more extensive wine list.

Wonderful Newfoundland dishes, exquisitely prepared and presented, using locally-sourced meat, fish and game. Interesting and delicious cocktails! Renovated from an older home with a collection of cozy smaller dining rooms, adorned with beautiful artwork by amazing Newfoundland artists. A wonderful way to spend an evening with friends!
