Really solid food with friendly service. Only complaint is that toppings (sour cream, etc) aren't included and I didn't realize until I got back. Also liked the Patychok.

Great place to grab a quick bite. Food is very tasty and the burrito mojado is a decadent treat.
This is a UNESCO World Heritage site that demonstrates evidence of continental drift. As such, there are a broad variety of terrains and drastically different landscapes. There are tons of beautiful hikes and other outdoor activities available. The drive in was gorgeous and it only gets better from there.

If planning a trip, I'd plan around closures (such as the Gros Morne summit being closed to protect wildlife in May and June this year). Even if certain parts of the park is closed, there are still plenty of things to do. I'd start every visit at the Discovery Center, where you can learn about the different geographical features of the park.
I would consider this one of the must-see sites in St. John's. The hill was the location of the last battle in the Seven Year’s War in North America and was later the location where Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal.

Tangible sites include the iconic Cabot Tower and the various British military instalments around the hill, such as the Queen's Battery Barracks and the various canons which are scattered around. While you can drive up the hill, if able, I would recommend walking instead, as there are various interesting tidbits around the different walking paths, such as the ruins of the old canteen.
