The Bicycle Thief 1475 Lower Water St, Halifax Italian • $$$

“Absolutely one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. Waiter, Kosta, was phenomenal. He was training Sammy and she was learning from the best. Attention to details is second to none. Food was DELICIOUS! Beautifully prepared and presented. I will dream of that butterscotch cake and weep that I live so far away. The energy in the restaurant was infectious and lively. This was our 26th anniversary and what a memorable one it was. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“We had excellent service on Canada Day 2024 with our friendly waitress Pal. She was very helpful and kept checking on our party of 12 ages from 3 to 80, to make sure everyone had what they wanted. She put treats on the Robot and had the children go get their treats off the tray on it, which was a highlight for them. We could tell she enjoys waitressing because she does it to perfection. The food was delicious and plated appetizingly, too!”

He stood in the rain and named all the drinks I could choose from, then went and stood in the drive through to get my drink to bring it back over to me. He was apologetic again and was so cheerful with his “have a great day” to me. I was so tired and just wanted to get the heck home, but that was great service and he made me smile. Thanks”

“If you would like an amazing culinary experience then you should definitely try the Barrington Steakhouse! From the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty. The staff were absolutely incredible. The host, the server, the bartender were all so great and made our dinning experience unforgettable. The food though, was definitely where the term “chef’s kiss” must have originated from. It was quite evident, that the chef takes pride in all of the dishes. The Beef Wellington well exceeded my expectations. Definitely 5 star rating!”

Tasty Kitchen 1222 Henry St, Halifax Chinese • $

“We had a great experience at Tasty kitchen which is a cantonese Chinese eatery. Simon is the owner and it was a pleasure speaking with him to understand how he started the eatery. The food is delicious and is priced very reasonably as it caters to students and locals nearby. I am glad we found the place and it is no wonder the reviews are excellent.

We ate there on two consecutive evenings. On the second night we bought some fresh seafood (scallops and fish) and Simon has offered to cook them for us. Now how often do you get these type of personalized service?

I highly recommend this place if you are in the Halifax area. I will definitely return the next time I’m in Halifax.

Thanks Simon!!”

PHO MANIAC 1252 Hollis St, Halifax Vietnamese • $

“Went for lunch today and had the Pho and the "Banh Mi" (meat bread). The good: The broth of the Pho is easily the best in HRM, great flavour and mouth feel and you can actually see some liquid fat floating there. The noodle were well cooked and the portion of beef was good. The baguette of the banh mi was excellent as was the meat. The not so good: The choice of meat for the Pho was very basic. There are many of us out there that would like very rare beef, beef ball, tendon and even tripe. I've never seen this option offered in Halifax and would be very impressed if I did. The Pho also needs more accompaniments, I got a small segment of lime, an ample supply of mung bean sprout and one piece of cilantro. I want to see Thai Basil and bird eye chili, and more cilantro and lime. The "Banh Mi" has one option for filling and while it is very good, I would like to see a variety of options. Cold cuts, pates, pork belly slices, satay beef should be a standard variety of options. I'd also like to see it offered as a banh mi sandwich with kewpie, pickled daikon/carrot, cucumber, cilantro and chili's. The Verdict: I will be back. The Pho and meat bread, while basic are very well done. I would be back even more frequently if some of my suggestions about were added. There is a real need for solid Pho and Banh Mi on the peninsula and Red Satay is the closest yet and it wouldn't take much to elevate it to a weekly must go.”

The ambiance was chic and it was decorated in classy high end furnishings. I choose a both, yet still had a great view of Halifax harbour. The Braised Short Rib Pappardelle was cooked flawlessly and the sauce was tasty delicious. I look forward to the steak on my next visit. Mixologist Abi is amazing and pours the best tasting cocktails the city has to offer. His drinks please both the eye and the taste buds as he has a few tricks up his sleeve. Thanks again to everyone at The Cannery for a tasty meal and tasty drinks. See you all again soon. Cheers”

Salt + Ash Beach House 1741 Lower Water St #170, Halifax Seafood • $$

“Busy place, but was able to walk-in and sit at the bar. Bartender was friendly and quick. Atmosphere was tasteful and warm. Lots of surfboards once you look around.
Food was incredible and after 3 drinks, 2 apps and 1 main...$88. Holy F. So cheap! Obiv if you get mains and cocktails it will be more, but I was so happy and full when I left.
I've already recommended them to friends visiting.”

“A must try place for varieties of options from Apetizers to entre to main course.
Pricing can be a little better. Service is top notch. The portion is good enough for 1 person only. Not shareable. Must try indian restaurant. Kids friendly item can be an advantage. It lacks items for kids under 5 years of age.

Kid-friendliness: No kids menu or kids friendly items

Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair accessibility”
