We went at a busy time and the service could have been faster, but the dishes were all excellent and the recipes were unique. Had cod, peanut chicken and beet salad. Highly recommended. Some was getting the burger, and it looked good too.

I’m sure folks go to the Quintal Cafe for delicious food, and it WAS delicious! Two of us had chicken Alfredo. One of us had chorizo lasagna with wine. Each was made with homemade pasta and a delicious medley of flavors. With such awesome food, it’s easy to understand why this tiny café was filled to near capacity for dinner tonight. (I’d call for reservations for dinner.) They also had an awesome musician playing Newfie favorites along with a little classic country. But I do believe the Quintal Cafe has another special gift gift for all who enter: the beautiful welcoming gift of hospitality and fun. The owner and waitress helped to make the evening really special for us and our dinner guest, a new young Canadian resident, and it was her birthday. How very special they made her feel with their welcome, their Happy Birthday song, awesome birthday dessert and fun! One diner asked our fun-loving waitress to dance…and the fun began! We have a few more days in Bonavista. Hopefully, we will be available to stop in for lunch —— the lunch menu of sandwiches, wraps, soups and salads looked as awesome as our dinner choices. And everything is made from scratch. Also, I understand that the kitchen party music happens only on Friday evenings. Whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner - do not miss this wonderful little bistro cafe. They put the heart in the heart of Bonavista!

Ate there three times and food was delicious!! NOTE - famous sandwiches are not available on dinner menu. First time, solo at lunch, had the chowder served in a bread bowl, it was delicious, full of different types of seafood, not just 'milky' sauce, wish I took a photo. Second time, x5 family for dinner (July 1st wknd made a reservation), blackened salmon, chicken, were delicious and portions are generous!!!! Lasagna is served in a cast iron pan and the portion can be shared among several!! Desserts, all homemade. Third visit was in September, cool weather day, we needed a lunch soup and coffee. It's a small place so there was a lineup inside the door but, we didn't have to wait long to order or for our soup/sandwiches to arrive. Both were large servings and delicious!!! Patio tables outside are great option. Hope this place stays open all year!!

Went for lunch around 1 pm. Fairly busy but no wait for a table. Took a long time for the waitress to bring menus…that should have been our first clue. Finally ordered food and it took about 40 minutes to arrive. The worst part was that others who arrived long after us got their food first! We ordered standard items…soup for me and a wrap for my husband. No explanation, no apologies. Food tasted fine but was very expensive and not worth the wait. Won’t be back.

Stopped here for lunch before exploring rest of Bonavista and greatly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The restaurant has a cute, eclectic vibe. The sandwiches and salads were really delicious and there was a great selection of sandwiches to choose from. They offered hot drinks as well as a selection of beer from local breweries. The service was very friendly and helpful. Food came out fairly quickly and was very much enjoyed. They had a small selection of merchandise for sale, including pottery from a local potter featuring a drawing of their restaurant. The staff was even able to direct us to the potter’s shop! Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Upon finishing my breakfast here I don't think I could have possibly been any happier. As soon as we walked in I felt comfortable and at home. Our server acknowledged us immediately and as the place was full of guests she offered to create a table that would seat us. Everything on their menu sounded out of this world and it was difficult to choose one dish, however, they smoke their own bacon and bake their own bread so I knew I had to go with the big breakfast to enjoy both of those! I also had a latte and our server made the cutest flower Art on top! The breakfast arrived quickly with eggs cooked to perfection, bread extremely fresh and the bacon was out of this world! The next time we visit I want to go back for lunch or dinner and try the other options available. They also have the option to order meals to go, you can purchase house smoked salmon, homemade jams etc. A definite stop if you'll be traveling through the area! I cannot reccomend this place enough!!

Walked in to a clean lovely cafe style place with cute old fashioned chairs but tiny tables. Only one larger sized table there inside for a family but that was taken but eh we made it work. We sat at the table for about 12-15 mins before the three young ladies at the cash/desert/coffee counter stopped chatting and checking their phones to come to our table and ask were we ready to order. I stated we hadn’t received any menus yet (annoyed at this), she stated “ O we don’t have menus you just read the Chaulk board behind the counter and tell us what you want” ….O nice to know!!! Tks lol 😂 there was no sign to say so upon entering or nothing said to us by any host or servers when we were seated, 😠. I don’t think it’s a ideal covid situation to be seated get up look at menu and order and then seated again. Anyways, we ordered our food, no kids meals or options available here! I ordered bacon and French toast for my little one. Meals came, my sister meal had a hair in her eggs and toast and was sent back, easily happens, we understand, they fixed it and her meal was free. Great job on that issue. My meal was toutons beans and toast, toast was da bomb, best ever thick fresh homemade bread with lots of butter mmmmmmm we ate every piece of bread and I’m sure we had a full loaf delivered to the table. The beans yummy but toutons :( we’re not cooked raw dough in middle so sad 😞 they were not editable… my mothers meal she requested ham with her toast it was forgotten and everyone disappeared so no one to remind for like 10 mins time she got her jam her toast was cold.. she ate it anyways but simple thing like jam was forgotten. We were not checked on until our meals were finished and when the server seen my toutons she did offer to replace but everyone was done and i declined. They did reduce my meal by 50% because it was obvious they were raw inside. So I credit them for fixing their errors and would definitely recommend their toast ! :)

We had lobster stuffed mushrooms, lobster pasta, French onion soup, seafood chowder, etc etc etc. One thing was better than the next and every bite got better. A casual place with home made pasta and pastries and even some live entertainment. The staff feels like family at the first smile. Go here!

We enjoyed a lovely lunch at the cute little cafe. We ate indoors but some were eating on the patio. My husband really enjoyed the chili in a bread bowl. I had her avocado wrap but unfortunately it was made with cheese (not listed on the menu) and I am lactose intolerant. Our friends enjoyed the club sandwich (massive) and the turkey and cranberry sandwich. The service was quick and efficient.

Wow. Gotta say it was like going to your relatives for a meal. We went twice for breakfast and once for dinner and every meal was fantastic. I don’t eat bread or hash browns and they were quick to make changes to my order to my satisfaction! My parents were with me as well and they absolutely loved it. The food is hot, you don’t have to wait very long, the service is awesome. Even the owner came out to chat with us to make sure we were happy with our food. Best ba o. I have ever had! Our salmon dinner was amazing and the desserts are sinful. Lol. You will not be disappointed. We definitely were not. The place is very clean has a nice ambience and is very clean. I can’t wait to go back. Thanks so much!

I loved this cute cafe. We went there for dinner--without a reservation and were seated immediately in the upstairs, overlooking the entertainment. The singer/guitarist was a nice plus, although a little too loud for a conversation. The waitress was lovely. The food was excellent and presented so nicely. It was like a meal we would get in New York!

I've been coming to Bonavista for 8 years, and a permanent resident for two. It's great to see the evolution and improvement of food that's available within the community. Our meal tonight - appetizers of the mussels in wine sauce, and homemade smoked salmon, and then the main course of fresh Lobster Pasta was quite simply the best meal out that my wife and I have ever at a restaurant here. Everything was made fresh, a delicious combination of flavours, excellent presentation, and great service. And the chocolate cake for dessert was incredible. Our new favourite place to go for dinner.

We ended up here as another restaurant was full. I ordered the toutons and baked beans as my meal, both were delicious but I wasn't a fan of the syrup they had with the toutons. All the other people in my party ordered the croissant breakfast sandwich but they didn't have any croissants so the substituted with their homemade bread. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Oh, and the coffee was delicious, although it would have been nice to have more. There was only one server and the restaurant was fairly busy.

That house smoked bacon, wow! This cafe's food and drinks were great, the space was warm and felt homey, and it's owners and staff clearly put their hearts and souls into this place. While we were there, locals kept coming in and it's clear the community loves this cafe as much as the owners. Can't wait to come back whenever I visit Newfoundland!

Excellent cafe! Great food and service! This is a lovely cafe with excellent food. We ordered the chicken pesto and club sandwiches with a pea soup and beef soup. The sandwiches and soups were delicious. The server was very sweet and friendly. We will definitely visit there again.
