The Best Restaurants in St. John’s, Newfoundland | Eater Montreal

"If you make the smart decision and follow the menu’s advice to “let the kitchen cook for you,” Chef Matthew Swift will not steer you wrong. This relative newcomer to St. John’s (the restaurant opened in 2019 inside the ALT Hotel St. John’s) is now one of the best restaurants in the city and renowned across the country. It’s known for its close relationships with sustainable aquaculturists and one of the province’s only subsea foragers, which show up on the plates of scallop crudo in marigold cream sauce and halibut filet with maitake and sandwort." - Gabby Peyton

My partner and I chose Terre Restaurant as the spot to have our 15 year Anniversary. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and brought to our table within 30 seconds. Our hostess welcomed us and wished us a happy anniversary. Alex, our server arrived a few minutes later with two glasses of complimentary champagne and to also wish us a happy anniversary. We had questions about the menu and other options as this was our first time at Terre. We opted for the kitchen cooks for us. We were greeted with 14 mouth watering dishes, along with descriptions on each, locations, and other tidbits. Overall it was an amazing experience and I would recommend Terre to anyone looking for nice atmosphere, good vibes, and friendly staff.

We loved our experience! We did the “let the kitchen serve you” and it was plenty of food all excellent, fresh veggies/herbs and great seafood/meats. So tasty and delicious. Would recommend in a heartbeat!

The most delicious meal we had in St. John’s. Every dish was better than the last. Ingredients are super fresh and bring an explosion of flavours. Our server provided top notch service with sweetness and attention. I would come back to Terre on each trip I take to St. John’s.

Exceptional. Terre is a world-class fine dining experience. Everything was delicious. Some dishes were very innovative, others were more traditional and all well-executed. I had the "let the kitchen cook for you" tasting menu and received quite a generous amount of food including a wide variety of different amazing dishes. Worth every penny, I definitely recommend it. The ambience is very nice as well, and the service was excellent. Staff were friendly and kind. They were knowledgeable about the food and proud of the food, as they should be. Each dish was explained in detail with enthusiasm, that added to the fun of the tasting menu experience. I wholeheartedly recommend terre!

TLDR: Greatest dining experience I may have ever had, if you go here do yourself a favor and get the “Let the Kitchen Cook for You” To say that this was one of the most truly enjoyable dining experiences would be an understatement. Every aspect of this culinary experience managed to impress me more than the last, from the service, to the atmosphere, to of course, the beyond incredible food. I had the absolute privilege of enjoying the “Let the Kitchen Cook for You” meal service, and it did exceeded expectations in every way. Upon sitting down I instantly noticed that “Is this It?” By the Strokes was playing, and as a huhe fan of the album, the night was off to a great start, and the vibes were immaculate as they were playing it all the way through. Starting with an incredible fresh and delicious bread that had some of the better butter I have ever had, I knew I had made the right selection. The first appetizer plate then solidified that choice with some of the most creative, fresh, and delicious seafood appetizers I could have imagined. Perfectly portioned to give me a taste of three marvelous fine dining plates, I was able to try a variety of different items (I honestly could not tell you exactly what they were, and would hate to misrepresent and do a disservice to the chef by messing up). After completing the first round, I then was greeted with three more appetizer plates that only continued to blow me away. Fresh and land based with salad and poultry, it was an entirely different experience but nonetheless amazing. At this point, I was informed that the FIRST course had only now completed. I was already in awe. The next course was the seafood entree, which was some of the smoothest and best cooked fish I have had. The sides and puree it was accompanied by only elevated the incredible flavor and texture. Beyond impressed and after leaving not a crumb (through the whole meal so far), I then received the meat entree. Somehow the courses just managed to continuously impress me and give me a new appreciation for attention to detail and craftsmanship. Finally, after enjoying the third course, the absolute cherry on top was the delicious and creative dessert, that had some of the most vivid grape flavors with two different jams/purees in a medium I had never seen. All these courses coupled with exceptional bartending and service, while having great music playing solidified what was the best culinary experience of my life. Absolutely full, I discovered a pool table in the lobby right outside the restaurant, and enjoyed the rest of my night playing. I cannot thank the chef and restaurant staff enough for this opportunity and hope that I one day can return so I can relive this marvelous experience with whatever creative new dishes Terre decides to offer. Even weeks later this night still lives rent free in my head and I have absolutely 0 issues with that. Do yourself a favor and go here.

Well the last experience of Hospitality Taste and Flavours on the rock Newfoundland. Here at Terra restaurant with Chef Matthew Swift he and his team truly can cook. Just had a delicious delightful experience. So many interesting combinations and taste bites with forward friendly service. Her on the Rock from a traditional Jiggs Dinner to a seafood chowder to a super restaurant experience all so unpretentious. If you come out you have to try this restaurant also a GBC Grad. Matthew Swift who has mastered his craft. Chef John Higgins

Terre was an amazing experience! And that’s coming from one of the most staunch food critics you’ll hear from. Chef Matthew Swift and his team have got it going on! Humble and reserved, Chef Matt’s food does all the talking. Every plate competing for top spot. Bold flavors with balanced execution. The smoked mussels and tomato toast was like a pinpoint in time on my culinary journey. I am moved thinking of the love and thoughtfulness that goes into what comes out of this kitchen. All of their herbs and edible flowers grown in their on premise garden right outside and the smoked mussels and meats done in house, of course. To top things off, the staff is amazing! From Parker the host to the most delightful Delaney at the bar, they all are so conscientious in assuring a meaningful and memorable experience! We live in Florida so I’m not sure when we’ll get back to Newfoundland but this place is already beckoning for me…next summer??😉
