Raymonds
95 Water Street, St. John’s, N.L. A1C 1AS
Raymonds, located in downtown St. John’s, is blessed with
access to some of the world’s best seafood and wild game.
It sources locally grown ingredients and uses independent
purveyors to bring the freshest ingredients to your table. A
collaboration between head chef Jeremy Charles and one
of Canada’s top wine experts, sommelier Jeremy Bonia,
Raymonds was recognized by Air Canada’s enroute.ca as
Canada’s Best New Restaurant in 2011 for its tasty menu items
like fresh roasted rack and braised shank of Newfoundland
lamb with Jerusalem artichokes and the Arctic char or
Gilthead Sea Bream platters. So if you are driving up the
East Coast of Canada be sure to stop in for a seafood
feast that shouldn’t be missed.
Bistro 22

According to Chronicle Herald food critic Bill Spurr,
“Bistro 22 is well worth the drive,” to Truro, the ‘Hub of
Nova Scotia,’ with dishes like haddock chowder and
the mixed green salad with a cider vinaigrette that he
operated by native Nova Scotian Chef Dennis Pierce,
the bistro offers homemade bread, cakes and even ice
cream. The restaurant is renowned for having the best-mashed

out, but Bistro 22 has guests making their way to the small
town to catch Chef Dennis’ homemade creations. It’s at the
intersection of every major highway so it’s easy to get there
from Halifax or just about anywhere.
