How is Chinched rated?

Out with friends and shared an eclectic variety of apps and mains. Very shareable menu. The cocktails were inventive and worth the price. Good variety of wines and local beer. Everyone told us to try the pigs ears which was interesting …. But a once...only thing. All the meats on the charcuterie plate were cured there. Service was good and quick, which was great for a sharing meal.More

Interesting place to eat

We enjoyed our visit to Chinched. It was rather expensive but the food was good. The beet salad was yummy but very rich. The seafood soup was great. The deep fried pigs ears was an interesting dish to try. I’d do shared plates if I...went again.More

Great place!

My boyfriend and I had a great experience for our first time at Chinched! The food was great and the service was even better. Reasonably priced food, however, the alcoholic beverages were a little overpriced (but worth it, yummy!). We will definitely be back for...more.More

Eat here soon

Given the covid conditions I worry about some of my favourite restaurants. This is one of the best and I have eaten well in over 60 countries. We have been twice this week. Always good, always as local as possible. My son who has cooked...in restaurants from Vancouver to Halifax agrees that chinched is the business. Inventive cocktails, great pasta, fantastic meats (their real strength), local beer... Support your local eatery !More

Another great evening!

Once again we had a great time and amazing food @ Chinched. The ever changing menus continue to offer very tasty and unique plates. The Yaki Onigiri was SO good! Don't let the description of the dish scare you! The SPAM is not from a...can! We will be back again soon!More

An Incredible Experience!

Cannot say enough about how much we loved the perfectly tasty, balanced, and specially crafted small plates at a supper out one night when we lived out east. Gorgeous dark chocolate and a most excellent server (an owner of the restaurant too, I believe--something wonderful...to see) ended our meal on a perfect note. Every course from start to finish was mouth watering, and we left thoroughly impressed. A must do if in St. John's! Will never miss returning for a bite when back for a visit!More

So Many Delightful Surprises!

If you’re into sharing smaller plates, this restaurant is definitely for you! While we didn’t go for the popular charcuter board offerings, we did try several other dishes and a variety of cocktails. Each was delightful! The Shag It cocktail was especially surprising, and contains...mustard of all things. Don’t be shy; it’s delicious! The nightly special Kentucky Blonde was also spectacular, as was the service. The squid ink pasta was easily the best squid I’ve ever had, and the pork belly arrangement was expertly prepared, even if untraditional in presentation. Book it now and let this little gem surprise you!More
