The Gypsy Tea Room

We were told that there were gluten free options on the menu but waited half an hour to be told there weren’t really any. Waited another 15 to pay for our drinks and leav

My wife and I stopped in here for dinner a few times this past week. I am severely allergic to shellfish, and touring within the eastern provinces of Canada can prove difficult when searching for a restaurant that can or will accommodate my allergy. The Gypsy Tea room's staff were very kind and super accommodating. We noticed there were many gluten-free and nut free options for everyone. I would say they can confidently add shellfish-free to that menu as well! A few things we tried from there include; Calamari.. lightly breaded, with red onions and a delicious house-made Tzatziki sauce. The Cajun chicken fettuccine - kept coming back for this one, probably one of the best pastas around. Oven roasted red pepper soup - absolutely perfect balance of salty and creamy/sweet. Topped with fresh crumbled feta cheese and some Chile oil... soo good.. chefs kiss! Even their French fries were done to perfection. Would 10/10 recommend trying this restaurant if your touring St. Johns and looking for something other then pubfare.
