- SSusanGoldAtlantic Canada •19 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe loved absolutely everything about Snow White Laundry. Our group of 7, all first time guests, enjoyed various dishes including the cod main, Denver steak, bao bread, cod fritters, snow crab gnocchi, pease pudding dumplings and dessert of the evening as well as several cocktails/mocktails…..10/10 on every bite and sip! We look forward to our next visit to try more of the menu, both food and drink. I have to say that what stood out as much as the incredible food was the vibe/ atmosphere and service. We felt so welcomed from the moment we entered and our servers were personable, helpful and really added to our experience. The other diners were obviously also enjoying their meals and there was a feeling of camaraderie in being together in this wonderful space. We love the backstory of how the restaurant name was chosen as well, so heartwarming. We will be back….soon!More infoSnow White Laundry$$$$• Contemporary Canadian• St. John's•4.8
