The Grounds Cafe — Restaurant in Portugal Cove - St. Philips

Nice staff, great space with high ceilings and lots of natural light, vegan options . Had the ham sandwich and garden salad. The portions were small, but the taste was exceptional and worth it! The sandwich is built on a biscuit, served piping hot with carved ham, a little honey muistard aioli and smoked cheddar. The salad had very fresh greens with ricotta and a tasty vinaigrette with hints of ginger. Very enjoyable food. Shared some almond chocolate cake for dessert. The cake was delicious and not too sweet, the almond flavour was baked throughout the cake. Two minor improvements I'd like to see would be some noise dampening and better coffee.

Looking forward to the salads later in the summer when the freshest produce...

I had to log into my online banking to show the transaction. At this point I was annoyed and very hungry! I took half my order to go and left the soup. Disappointed to say the least, and won't...

We visited Ground Murray’s Café in Portugal Cove about a month ago and really enjoyed the atmosphere—it’s such a nice and cozy spot. We ordered the strawberry flaky, cheesecake, the Ground omelette, and two dark roast coffees. The food was tasty and fresh, and the cheesecake was a real highlight! The only thing we found a little disappointing was the coffee selection. They only serve brewed coffee (self-serve with milk, cream, or sugar), so I couldn’t get a latte, which I would have preferred. For the price, it would be nice to see more coffee options on the menu. Overall, it’s a lovely place to stop by, with great food and a...
