Unpredictable yet amazing

Their a small family business so their hours can be erratic and sometimes they have to turn away folks at the door for dining in or even takeaway orders if they’re busy, which they can get pretty quickly, but it’s worth it. It almost has the vibes of going to an uncles house where they just want to feed you too much in the best way possible. Everything they serve is immaculate plus you get complimentary soup and tea right away and some of the tastiest sauces to go with the dishes, as well as complimentary fruit for dessert.

Pros: Everything is amazing

Cons: Not guaranteed hours

Great food and service

A restaurant operated by an older couple. Extremely good service but very limited seating inside. Takeout is a good option. The hours are not exactly those written on happy cow (opens at 12:30 today for example). The food is really great and full of veggies for a reasonable price.

Soup and sauces are offered on the house. The host also offers a clementine ( or a tangerine, not sure) for dessert. Great place to visit if in Newfoundland.

Pros: Taste, Service

Cons: Unpredictable hours

Excellent Service, good food

Very good and filling food. Unlimited tea, sauce and a clementine as a dessert/present.
I recommend going early (5pm-ish). They go in "Take out only"-service when they are too busy - totally understandable (See description), but good to know

Super friendly and tasty

The owner here is super friendly! He gave us free samples to try, unlimited tea, and talked to us about veganism and the history of the dishes we ordered. I highly recommend eating here and supporting this restaurant.

Very good

The service was very friendly and we felt well looked after. The food was delicious, but we both found all of it somewhat oily.
Update: only the deep-fried food is oily, which is pretty normal. Our second meal was great!

This fully vegan place is run by an elderly couple. He’s served and she cooks and every bite is satisfying. Definitely support! Plus so cozy and comforting on a rainy day.

EXCEPTIONAL! Must go!

The whole experience was amazing, Paulo, the owner, was so kind, he made us feel like we were in his home the whole time. He kept refilling our tea and appetizers, which he gave us as soon as we sat down, with soup. This was free of charge! He made suggestions to help us choose the main dishes, talked about Macau and some traditions. His wife cooks and he serves, everything is fresh and prepared earlier in the day. What an amazing experience. Everything we tried was so tasty and delicious. At the end he also gave us some oranges! Unforgettable!

Pros: So many choices, Tea, soup, amazing sauces - all before the meal, BBQ seitan meal

Amazing food and service!

We went for lunch. The owner is lovely. His wife cooks. The service was so great; they love what they do. You get free green tea and appetizer of TVP in a curry style and it’s sooooo good. They also give you free oranges for dessert. So well priced and you get so much food. You can taste the love they put into their good. A must try. We are going again before we leave

Exceptional service and food

Kind, friendly and helpful server that prioritised customer experience over profit. Delicious food with very large portion sizes, we all ended up taking back our own take-out box full of food from leftovers!

Chinese vegan restaurant

Great Chinese vegan meal. If they ask if you want spicy beware! Maybe say medium if unsure 🫤

So much good food!

Had an amazing noodle dish, packed with vegan 'pork' and tofu and veggies. Limitless homemade sauces on the side (the spicy one is incredible). Amazing complimentary soup to start and endless tea to wash it all down. Don't think I can really fault this place - I'm very much looking forward to tucking into my leftovers for tomorrow's lunch!

Pros: Great value, Very friendly owner, Lots of complimentary additions

Amazing Macau Vegan Food

I absolutely LOVE Peaceful Loft, it is my happy tummy place in St. John’s (NL). It’s a family run business and you are served by the owner who’s the sweetest person.
The dishes are all amazing, and their tvp sauce is mind blowing delicious (I still hope one day they’ll sell it in jars).
The ‘loon’ and the ‘bbq sauce fried rice’ are my favourites; they’re both tofu based but I super recommend trying their seitan dishes because their game is A+
All meals come with free tea that the owner keeps refilling at no cost. Also free fruit as dessert. It’s a place full of love, really 💚🌱

Pros: All vegan food, Free tea + refills , Free fruit dessert

Great food, and super friendly service

The food here was amazing and is a great spot for 100% vegan fare. It's a husband and wife team and they do such a great job! Such a gem for the community, and most of the items you probably would never know they are vegan.

Pros: 100% vegan, no guesswork, Exceptionally friendly, Delicious

AMAZING!!

This restaurant is my my favourite vegan restaurant in St. John’s. It is delicious, well priced, amazing portions. It is owned by a sweet man and his wife. I never mind the wait time because the food is worth it and they work so hard. If there is a wait, it is worth it to try!! Please go you will not regret it 😁

Pros: Good price, Big portions, Locally owned and fully vegan
