As a vegetarian visiting St. John's I was bit concerned about food selections for myself but Nook and Cannery was such a delight. The vibes were immaculate and the food was incredible. They offer many ways to adjust meals to suit vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free folks. My favourite meal during my trip!
I do enjoy the deli environment but the layout here is absymal and it's never straightforward to order deli items and or pay for them.
The gluten free rice Kaiser is decent but a bit crumbly so plan accordingly. Dining in at a table is very pleasant if available.
My favourite sandwich is the curry chicken salad. Get the olives, carrots and pickles on the side.
The modest selection of cheeses is decadent. I look forward to bringing a wedge or two home.
Do not visit this place if you are in a rush. But overall, it is worth the bit of chaos.
Had breakfast here twice during our week in St. John's, and it was worth it! So many options, and the fact that they can serve most options gluten-free (i.e. on a gluten-free bagel) was great. Unfortunately, they do not have a dedicated deep-fryer, so I wasn't able to get any of the unhealthy stuff that everyone else had, but that's okay...I appreciated the fruit substitution for the hash browns!
I go here everytime I'm in town, which is a couple times a month for work, and I've never had a bad drink here. There's a huge variety of drinks hot and cold and they always have interesting seasonal drinks as well. I always get a sandwich with a gluten free bun when I'm here, my favourites are the pesto chicken and the cran-apple chicken sandwiches, the gluten free bun is very good, and doesn't fall apart like other gf breads tend to.
There's a gluten free version of most everything on the menu. Penne as a gf pasta, all of their sauces are gf, and most of their toppings. It's very good to not feel limited for choices.
Lovely restaurant with a delicious gluten-free burger (the Amelia burger, with a GF bun) and the best bacon-wrapped scallops (also gluten free) I've ever had. The server (Kim) was very helpful and seemed knowledgeable about celiac and concerns about the potential risk of cross-contamination with wheat flour. Strongly recommended! 👍👍🍔 🤤
Wide selection of gluten free options and alternatives that can be offered; I believe only 3 or so menu items they said couldn't. Our server (Brianna?) Absolute gem and very cautious about making sure it was celiac friendly. Been 24 hours, no gluten reaction.
Had a great time! There are many gluten-free options that you can choose from. The sandwiches and soup were very well made and fresh. The atmosphere was cozy with a lot of seating.
I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant located within the Delta Hotel in St John's. The staff are very friendly, the atmosphere is open yet cozy and there were meal options that suited my gluten free preferences. I was lucky enough to enjoy a 1.5 lbs steamed lobster with vegetables before there were no longer any available. It was steamed perfectly and the vegetables were seasoned just right. Breakfast the next morning included an egg white omelet which also hit the spot and fueled me for my journey to Cape Spear. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're visiting St John's. One more thing: try the gluten free carrot cake. You won't regret it!
My Husband was so appreciative for his gluten free meal. He felt it was the best roast beef sandwich with mushroom gravy that he had ever had!!! Thank you to all the staff!!!
Celiac friendly
