“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!”
“Service was amazing such a friendly and professional atmosphere. I had a couple questions with regards to the menu and they where so accommodating. The food … absolutely amazing what a treat for my taste buds”
“The pizza Lou Fada and Lou Buou were delicious. Our server Solana was lovely, informative and obviously enjoyed serving. It was so nice to see Cedric chat with patrons at the tables and check on his guests. A great dinner. Thank-you.”
“me and my brother have been coming to the narrows since they opened once a week great food, amazing staff awesome place to sit and chat and enjoy your night out.... thank you Narrows.... everyone should experience this atmosphere”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“This place is a gem. Local neighbourhood small resto vibe with world wide cuisine influence and a spectacularly wide wine list for a small shop. Food is excellent and inventive while service is attentive and polished. A “go to” spot for sure that is nestled in the North End of Halifax.”
“We had an amazing meal here for our 25th Anniversary . Our server was fantastic and they went above and beyond to make sure our evening was wonderful. I would definitely recommend.”
“We had gone out with friends for a lunch and tried all the different menu items. We thoroughly enjoyed each and every meal, be it the beef pockets, noodles, dumplings but the best one was the fried rice. The flavours are authentic, meal portions are great and the ambience is amazing and the best part is it’s all halal. If you are in downtown, I highly recommend trying this restaurant!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“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.”

“This is such a nice place to dine at. The food is delicious, the portions are not grotesquely huge, just enough. The service is superb! Friendly, efficient, intelligent and not invasive. We were the 4 with a birthday girl, and we look forward to seeing you next year. If we didn't live in Ottawa we'd probably be here once a week! Good Job!”
“We had an awesome lip smacking dinner today. Authentic desi Chinese main course and great tandoori for appetizers. The masala fries was a sweet surprise which is a first time for us in halifax restaurant menu. Hope you keep serving great food like this thanks”

“I have been creeping on real fake meats for awhile and thought there's no way it can be as tasty as it looks. finally got to try it today and it was mind blowingly good. I had the Benny (small portion, which was by no means actually a small portion). wow. my son had the grilled cheese and fries and he loved it as well. amazing food, amazing service, this will definitely be a stop for our halifax trips!”
“The patacon was delicious and the service was great! I like the online ordering system. I didn't add avocado to my beef patacon but I think I will next time as I suspect it would take an already delicious dish to the next level.”
“Le meilleur restaurant marocain en Nouvelle-Écosse. Abdo le propriétaire est extrêmement serviable.”

“Food was amazing!! The carrots and crab were surprisingly delicious.
Service left a bit to be desired… maybe they were short staffed? We ended up sitting at our seats with our dirty plates in front of us for 20 mins before we were able to pay”

“My hubby and I have eaten breakfast at your restaurant two different times and both times enjoyed it very much. However, I have a question. As you go through the door u see the sign Canadian Owned and also Truly Canadian. Then why are you not using French's catsup instead of Heinz. In our home we use only French's and it is Canadian. Thank you!!.”
“We treat ourselves 3 or 4 times per year at Amano...always outstanding food & service. Never had just an ok experience....very nice.”

“The fact that it was hard to find parking shows how popular the place is! Service is excellent, and fast, staff is friendly. The food was excellent had egg Benedict, it certainly not a coffee place, as the coffee was ordinary. It is a little pricey but I would definitely recommend this place. Enjoy your breakfast!”
“I can attest to three offerings that were excellent: the duck confit, the tomato soup with rice and lentils, and the risotto primavera. Well executed and presented with layered flavoring.”

I really liked how two player games were bolded on the list and how they were organized. I'll definitely stop by again on my next trip to Halifax.”
“From the second I walked into Gio I immediately felt comfortable. The chill atmosphere is amazing! The staff are ALL friendly and professional, Oscar and the lovely Kiwi hostess are both ROCKSTARS! The menu is both delicious and innovative. I started with the smoked scallops (get the sourdough bread for the stunning garlic sauce!). For my main I ordered the trout that was super fresh and so flavorful. Loved the seared skin and choice of fabulous herbs and spices. All-in-all the best dining experience in Halifax!!”
“We brought two friends with us to Au Liban to celebrate our anniversary and was the perfect choice. We scored a nice table on the patio and enjoyed a variety of shared plates and a spritz tower. The plates are easily shared and there's ample consideration for dietary needs (we had different vegan and gluten free folks at the table who all ate til their heart's content).”
“Just returned home from a wonderful date night at La Frasca! The food was amazing as usual, drinks perfect and our server Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic; efficient, knowledgeable and such a sweet and pleasant person. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our evening and look forward to our next visit. Tracy & Chris Ryan”

“I love coming to Obladee. Excellent and unique wine list, great food options - I love how much the food menu has grown over the last bit. But most of all, the staff are phenomenal. Extremely knowledgeable and kind, they never lead you astray!
Also - the espresso crème brûlée is to die for!”
“Jason was a great server and his recommendations were perfect.”

Vegetarian options: We loved the veggie options! Sooooo good.
Kid-friendliness: They offered our 7yr old son practice chopsticks. It was so thoughtful.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“Stop letting all the muscle cars park outside your store till 10pm or later. They all rip out of your drive way and down the highway making so much noise waking up the neighborhood and driving irrationally. I assume the Tims owner is a car guy. But this needs to stop and complaints have been sent to corporate.”
“Vegetarian options: Would like to see more vegetarian options
Dietary restrictions: Would like to see less fat and less sugar and less salt products
Parking: It's generally good
Wheelchair accessibility: Good”
“The staff tonight were great!! My husband and I met one staff outside throwing garbage away and he’s thick tall and dark with pink lips. We asked him a question and he spoke to us nicely and gently. He’s a gentleman and should be doing the drive throughs all the time a very soothing voice to be heard by all customers. The roadhouse king meal tasted super good. Will always come make my order on Friday nights.”
“The self-order kiosks were down, which was a little annoying. But my 2 orders of "Sausage and Egg McMuffin, no English Muffin "were not placed in plastic containers, which is a huge plus in my book.
Dietary restrictions: The McMuffins are keto if you remove the english muffin. Most burgers too, if you remove the bun and ketchup.”
“We were looking for a new car and ended up at mc D because it was around noon and we where hungry. I tested the parmigian bacon quarter pounder which i really liked!”
“I go to this place almost every day. The guys who work here are great! They always take their work responsibly, everything is always done efficiently and quickly, thank you!
Also, many thanks to the cleaning ladies for the cleanliness.”
“Got 3 mcflurries and 2 pops at the drive through. Service at this location is amazing; the staff are incredibly curious and friendly, a type of service I have to say you don't get at very many places anymore. I hope the staff are treated well by the owner, because I was very impressed at how they spoke and did their job. We got our order quickly even though they were steady. Easy 5/5 stars for me.”
“I was in the drive through this morning after night shift, and placed my order, and they had asked me to pull over to the side at #1. I waited a bit for my food (a good 10 mins) and the guy who brought it out to me (in the rain) was so nice and apologized for the wait and they didn’t have apple juice at the moment (what I ordered with my meal). 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”
“A Great McDonald's. Every McDonald's from Larry U tech to Digby are expertly run and operated. Consistency was spot on. The New 5.79 Value Pick is priced well in these times.”
“This is such a nice place to dine at. The food is delicious, the portions are not grotesquely huge, just enough. The service is superb! Friendly, efficient, intelligent and not invasive.

Takeout Restaurants
“We love this espresso bar. The food is delicious, both sweet and healthy treats. The staff are so friendly and attentive. The coffee is the best in the city. Whenever we meet visitors wandering downtown looking for coffee we recommend Weird Harbour!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience at Le Bistro by Liz! I went for the first time with a few co-workers this evening and everything from the food to the atmosphere was stellar. ⭐️”
“Elias and his family are wonderful hosts and the food is next level! The Beef naan bread breakfast wrap was like nothing I have ever tasted. Awesome place. Can’t say enough.”

Kid-friendliness: Options for everyone of all ages!”
“First time visiting today with my husband, and all the food was delicious! I had the chicken enchiladas, and we tried elotes for the first time. The food was fresh, nicely seasoned, presented well. Our server (Rachel) was a delight who gave friendly and super-helpful service! We came from out of town, but this place will absolutely be a restaurant we return to the next time we're in the city!”
“Nice venue in downtown Halifax just off the waterfront. Friendly staff. They’ve been around since 1997, so they’re doing something right. Good variety of beers to fit almost any taste. Not my favorite beer in Nova Scotia, but very drinkable. I had the seasonal wheat and she had the Lil Juicy, a little hazy, but not juicy.”
“Had the most amazing night with some friends! Becca was the nicest and considering person, she took her time and was lovely and willing to explain and answer our questions throughout the night. highly recommend stopping by for a cider or beer!”
“We had the pleasure of eating at Bird’s Nest today, Chicken Club Sandwiches (and we have our usual cup of coffee everyday there too) The food is outstanding, based on fresh seasonal ingredients clearly put together by a chef that has a true passion for food! The service was fantastic as always, and their staff is so friendly, and they know our usual orders by now. Really recommend this Café to anyone - family, couples and business lunches, Bird’s Nest Cafe make everyone feel a part of them. Thank you Beatrix (Bonni) and Morne’ Botha”
“We stopped in for some Sushi while travelling from Newfoundland and were not only surprised on how great the food was but also the service. We will definitely be back!!”
“Elias and his family are wonderful hosts and the food is next level! The Beef naan bread breakfast wrap was like nothing I have ever tasted. Awesome place. Can’t say enough.”
“The Henry House is a Halifax gem, offering a cozy and historic setting that’s perfect for a relaxing meal or a casual drink.
The real highlights here are the amazing cask ales—expertly crafted and always fresh—and the delicious British pies. The hearty, flaky pies, paired with a pint of their signature ale, make for an unforgettable dining experience.
With its warm ambiance and attentive service, The Henry House is the ideal spot for anyone craving traditional British comfort food and a top-notch beer selection.”
“The fact that it was hard to find parking shows how popular the place is! Service is excellent, and fast, staff is friendly. The food was excellent had egg Benedict, it certainly not a coffee place, as the coffee was ordinary. It is a little pricey but I would definitely recommend this place. Enjoy your breakfast!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“First time trying this place - I was just walking home and thought I would stop in and wow! The drink I got was amazing!! And the service was even better. I believe his name was Sardeep (sorry if that’s wrong!) but he was very kind and made my visit there so special. I can’t wait to go back!”
“Lakshmi who works here gives the best smoothies and suggestions. She’s always has a smiling face when we enter the shop. Feels good to see her working there! Kudos to her!”
“Went through the drive thru and the food was ready for me when I drove to the window, ordered a poutine which was delicious and a great portion, the man working at the window was so kind, I was having a bad day before I came through and he totally turned that around! 5 stars all around”

“it a nice little place and the staff are nice as well. really good dark roast coffee.”
“Best pizza ever. The sauce is delicious and they put lots on”
“Easy access from the Halifax hotel. International tourists should know the McGriddle is syrupy pancakes not bread. Took 1 minute to cook, easy to grab at a pinch.”
“Love the menu. Everything I get I'm always very satisfied with however, I would never stay in and eat . The staff serves me well yet speaks any language but English when addressing somebody other than me. I understand it is easier to speak in your own language as someone who speaks five yet in service once to speak the language of the customer base when working.”
“Food was ready when got there, and staff was awesome
Dietary restrictions: There is a lot of salt in the food but you can make some changes to food to be able to eat”

Fine Dining
“Fantastic fine dining experience! Excellent interactions with each staff member, especially Jonathan. His touch delivered much comfort in our experience AND the Food and drinks were delicious.”
“After an uncharacteristically unfortunate dining experience, Peacock was back in its stride as an exceptional dining spot. Our Sober Island oysters were luscious, burrato decadent, the doppio ravioli intensely flavourful and the trout fresh and done perfectly. Our server, Mattie, was also exceptional and well versed on the menu and wine. We left feeling well looked after and savouring still all the flavours of the evening! Thank you, Peacock!”
“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!”
“What a wonderful comfortable atmosphere! We loved going to check out all the amazing beers & seltzers they are canning IN HOUSE! We love local craft beer!”
“Amazing food!!! Freshest oysters I’ve ever had!!! Service was impeccable!! You won’t be disappointed!”
“beautifully cooked steak, delicious cacio e pepe, fantastic service, great atmosphere.”
Cheap Eats
“The most amazing Indian Street Food! Great Service! Great Presentation and #AbsolutelyDelicious Will be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Excellent food and the service was spectacular. Highly recommend!”
“First visit. Had breakfast sandwich and coffee. Both AMAZING!!”
“There's a reason why this place has such a high rating. Absolutely delicious. I ordered a large Chili Dakgang-Jeong and probably could have eaten another (though, food coma for hours afterwards probably). They made the best Korean Fried Chicken I've ever had. I'm sad that I don't live in Halifax so that I can buy some every day (though it probably wouldn't be good for my waist line!)”
“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!!”
“Absolutely adore this little shop. I live in the North End and frequently make the trek to Coffeeology on the weekend, it is that good.
Kay (the owner) is such an incredible person as well; very warm and easy going.
The shop is small, but very inviting.
I look forward to visiting every time I go. ????”
“Everything was perfect. 100% recommended.
Wheelchair accessibility: It has an elevator for wheelchair. Although the bathrooms don't have.”
“Love the amazing treats, hot chocolate, croissants, poke bowls, Asian noodle salad,... Haven't had anything I didn't like. Very friendly staff.”
“She loved it! Coffee was great. Cider was great and sandwiches were awesome.”
“Delicious latte and blueberry oatmeal muffin, great service and atmosphere.”
“Super Reliable kausap lalo na pag dating sa oras! Masarap ang lumpia siksik at ndi puro hangin at wrapper. We like their pansit, ndi dry at luto ang gulay ndi matigas. We like their BBQ super malambot! keep up the good work, Ala Eh Eatery Crew. wag kayo magbabago kahit dumami customers nyo. Dont sacrifice you quality. More Customers to come!”
“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.”
“Me and my Daughter and my Grandson were in for breakfast this morning we all had steak and eggs it was absolutely delicious. keep up the great work, highly recommended.”

Also - the espresso crème brûlée is to die for!”
“I'll start off by saying my wife is Korean and no not from the North. The Korean BBQ was great 4 of us and still had leftovers. We normally went to Busan now this is our new spot just great all around”
“This is always a pleasant spot to come to. Love the pizzas, especially their dough/crust. My daughter who now lives in UK always makes sure to stop by when home to get a hero.”
“Jason was a great server and his recommendations were perfect.”
“This sushi spot was fire! The variety and flavors were on point. The only problem was that dessert wasn't included in the all-you-can-eat menu. You had to pay extra for that sweet stuff.
Vegetarian options: Lots of delicious vegetarian options”
“Consistently delicious! Wish I was eating there right now!!!”
“We live local - there's a few succulent sushi places around but once we found this one - its answered all the needs. Veg tempura, spicy crab salad, and sushi salmon pizza are the go tos...but we've liked it all. Folks making it all happen are wonderful too!”
“The food is delicious. We ordered buttered chicken, lamb biryani and samoza.”
“I had a Great experience at Walter's this weekend.
My friend and I sat at the bar. The bartender (Nolan ) was super welcoming, he had great banter and makes an amazing cocktail.”
“Fantastic fine dining experience! Excellent interactions with each staff member, especially Jonathan. His touch delivered much comfort in our experience AND the Food and drinks were delicious.”
“Stopped in with hubby and the doggies for lunch. Was thrilled we could have the dogs with us at the table on the patio and that there were water bowls provided. Service was a little slow and unfortunately our order got lost and it took a while to get our food. Kitchen tried to rush the meal to make up for the delay and our spinach dip was still cold in the middle. Overall the food was good and I would return to try the food again.”
“Have been going here for exactly 20 years now, authentic, super delicious made with care and family run. The best! (I have only ever ordered from their Korean menu though I should add). Best kimchi always too!”
“We went on a busy weekend morning, but the service was super quick and efficient. Their white sangria is amazing! I really loved the çilbir as well. Great place!”
“We had been to this restaurant a few years ago, so we got a reservation for our first night in Halifax. We had a lovely dinner - trout and a very tasty chicken dinner. The next afternoon we went to happy hour for a drink and CA$1.50 oysters!! The next night we went back for dinner again, and we each had filet mignon with pepper sauce. Our server was very professional, and we enjoyed talking with her. One point for dinners - the menu has limited wine selections, and you need to ask for another document. The ambiance in the larger upstairs dining room is well done. One small complaint was the music selection, but that is just a matter of taste - others may have enjoyed it. We would go back for certain.”
“Excellent customer service, food was delicious”
“This is my favorite place in the city, my crippling pinball addiction may have something to do with this. They also have very tasty beverages on hand, super helpful and pleasant staff. Their pins are meticulously maintained along with the contemporary and classic arcade games they keep. Sunday and Tuesday are free play days at $10 flat. Awesome deal. Spend your time and money here.”
“Beautiful spot, great service. Food was cooked well and tasty.
The music was unpleasant, and did take away from being able to fully enjoy the restaurant.”

The place is nice. The beer is bitter. It’s really bitter. You may not be used to it. There are also beers that are a little sour. I can’t try them. Hahaha.”
“INCREDIBLE experience. Leonardo the owner, and Samantha, our waitress were both so kind! It felt like we were the only people in the room, very affirming and joyful. Can’t wait to go back!”
“We had the fish cakes with cesar salad, and bangers and mashed (so good we shared), delicious and the presentations were amazing. Price was affordable. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Live music was very relaxing and entertaining. A young lady named Kayla Mason was singing and playing acoustic guitar. Beautiful voice.
Great night!”
“They are seriously the nicest people ever! The place is just excellent, and let me tell you, the burger was absolutely amazing! It's definitely one of the best burgers I've ever tried! The cannoli was good too!”
“The best authentic Chinese cuisine in Halifax and among the best we have had anywhere. We had the sour fish soup with pickled vegetables, the Szechuan beef stew, stuffed wonton and crispy potstickers, accompanied by barley tea.”
“This is quite simply my favourite restaurant. The service, food quality, and experience is never less than 5 stars.”
“This is the best ramen shop in the province! We’ve been to every one we can find, and these guys take the cake! We drive all the way over from Eastern Passage, more often then I’d like to admit, just to get a bowl! We’ve been doing this since 2016 :) Try the Hokkaido ramen! Extra spicy if you can handle it ;)”
“The food was fabulous, the flavor made me want to order a second helping . I had their Scallop pasta. The service was second to none. Quick friendly and informative all in the confines of a big Smile. Enjoyed our first of many visits to come . Thank you for the memory of great food service and taste.”
“Absolutely excellent!! Lovely staff and a lovely owner as well. It's not very attractive inside, so I would hesitate to bring friends - because atmosphere matters to me...”
“After an uncharacteristically unfortunate dining experience, Peacock was back in its stride as an exceptional dining spot. Our Sober Island oysters were luscious, burrato decadent, the doppio ravioli intensely flavourful and the trout fresh and done perfectly. Our server, Mattie, was also exceptional and well versed on the menu and wine. We left feeling well looked after and savouring still all the flavours of the evening! Thank you, Peacock!”
“Summer vibes at its best! Good choice of lightweight beers, ok-ish food though nothing fancy, of course. People are super nice and chill. Perfect for hanging out with friends.”
“We had absolutely fantastic service tonight from Adam T. He was friendly with a great sense of humour and very much on the ball. The best server we've had in a very long time! Thanks Adam! The food was also fantastic!”
“We were the only ones in the restaurant for the first half hour, only two more people came in and we waited an hour for our food. Too focused on doordash as their priority. Food was delicious. Servers were friendly.”
“The cocktails are fabulous and unique and it’s great to watch them prepare the drinks and food with such expertise and finesse”
“Had lunch with family members visiting food was good, service excellent and even if we were tucked in a corner the noise was making it hard to carry out a conversation without much effort .”
“Fantastic food and even better service. We will definitely be back.”
“Wow so so impressed! My dinner was amazing!!! There was a small issue with my butter for my lobster and it was replaced immediately and my dinner was taken off my bill! I didn’t ask for any discount it was just automatically done on the bill! Unexpected and surprised! Thank you will highly recommend!!staff were lovely! Great job keg Halifax downtown!!

“A nice place to either grab a snack or a meal. The food was good and the place is clean with inside and outside ( when the weather is good) . Will visit again as good eateries are in Short supply .”
“The food is fairly standard but I sometimes find it lacking in flavour (perhaps salt?). That said, it's a good location and not bad for a relatively inexpensive dinner.”
“The very best around. We love Shige and Aya.”
“11/10. Absolutely phenomenal experience. They are SO patient and SO experienced. Nothing is out of the question as they can make anything possible. Your booking includes set-up and tear down by the staff, HUGE win. The staff were all so lovely and helpful. And obviously the space is GORGEOUS; very little decorations are even needed in the romantic moody room. We did our ceremony on the roof and it was SO special. Food incredible. We did a standing cocktail dinner and we had more than enough and continue to received compliments over the menu. This is SUCH an awesome spot!”
“We had our small wedding group here for dinner post ceremony. It was the perfect space (the Rhino room) and fit all 27 of us. Booking was easy, the staff and food was fantastic and delicious. And they were so accommodating to our guests with allergies. Cannot recommend it enough!”
“The food is always great and the portions are large, staff are friendly and accurate but the place/ restaurant itself is not very warm and welcoming. I miss the great buffet this place had a few years back.”

“I've heard several times about how good the Seoul Chicken is so I decided to try it today and it was superb! Not too sweet and not too spicy and the texture was terrific. I brought it back to my office and let a co-worker try it and she immediately changed her lunch plans and headed to Scotia Square to get some herself.”
“Tried the Canadian Classic and Small Donair. It was Amazing ? Staff are very friendly and service was quick.”

“I love their fish and the coleslaw. Beyond.that everything is just OK. Service is always friendly. HOWEVER the fries never takeout well and they are just ok as well. I ordered a coconut cream pie. By accident they gave me a chocolate pie. Drove all the way back to make the exchange. I was really craving coconut cream pie. Got home AGAIN Opened the box. Took a bite. It’s more than half whip cream. Fake not real and I could not taste any coconut. At all. Except the sprinkle of roasted coconut on the top. Not good at all.. Tossed it out! Not worth the calories. The absolute best coconut cream pie that I have had at a restaurant not a bakery is from The Armview! Homemade and absolutely delish. And worthy of the calories . Sorry guys. Just a big disappointment!”
“We had the pleasure to discover Lara Cafe during our vacation in Halifax with our 3 children. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the creamy oat milk lattes and colourful lemonades and we found ourselves retuning to the Cafe every day of our vacation. We had the opportunity to meet Lara, the owner, and it was immediately clear why this Cafe is so tastefully decorated, why the atmosphere is so enjoyable and the menu so very delectable. Thank you for adding much delight and fond memories to our family vacation! We will be sure to return every time we visit the East Coast! Merci beaucoup Lara :)”
“Pay NO ATTENTION TO BAD REVIEWS We live in Claton Park and found the ChineseVietnamese food the best we have ordered since moving here from Ontario a few years back. It was a little expensive but more than made up for that in quality. We had the order delivered in a bad rainstorm and a little girl showed up the credit card machine in hand looking like the wind would blow her away My wife and I are pretty old, and we were both impressed with the food We have ordered from quite a few places but Fon Sing is definitely the best”
“We treat ourselves 3 or 4 times per year at Amano...always outstanding food & service. Never had just an ok experience....very nice.”
“Group of work crew got together for a meal and then a Moose game on February 29th and not only enjoyed the food, the layout of the restaurant, but the waiter (Brandon) was amazing and made the whole experience of our first visit the best experience and we'll definitely return.”
“Been coming to Jim's regularly every week for years. Never been disappointed by food or service. Great menu at reasonable costs. Highly recommended.”

“My hubby and I have eaten breakfast at your restaurant two different times and both times enjoyed it very much. However, I have a question. As you go through the door u see the sign Canadian Owned and also Truly Canadian. Then why are you not using French's catsup instead of Heinz. In our home we use only French's and it is Canadian. Thank you!!.”
“This was my first time at The Cannery, Bedford Row in downtown Halifax. I was greeted by friendly staff and my first thought was of the cleanliness of the restaurant and the staff were sharply dressed. 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”
“An opulent environment with outstanding service and high-quality dishes plated to perfection. I highly recommend Mera for a romantic dinner date or groups looking for an amazing overall experience. PS - The Mera Martini is fantastic!”

“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”

“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.”
