“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!”
“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”
“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!”
“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.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I just had a culinary adventure at Edna’s in Halifax that was nothing short of spectacular. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, I felt like I was dining with my own personal food guru! And the food? Insanely good—like if flavor and perfection teamed up for a gourmet showdown. We devoured lobster toast, beet salad, braised beef grilled cheese, and beef tartar. Each bite was a flavor explosion that left my taste buds in a standing ovation. We will be back!”
“Cocktails are epic.
Was surprised by the wine. If i win the lotto, there will be signs. Like they will be sold out of their togo bottles. Smart selection.
Shrimp dumplings, just so good, like I hope to dream about them tonight.”

“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.”

“Dined in for my birthday and it was amazing all around! The food was absolutely to die for (specifically the calamari and the tagliatelle--omg). It tasted so fresh and flavourful. The service was equally as good. The staff are very professional, attentive, and thought of everything. The restaurant itself is very quaint and intimate which makes for a perfect vibe. I have lived in Halifax for years and enjoy dining out and this was the best restaurant I have been to in recent memory. Definitely a hidden gem. I will be back!”

“The staff and server were very friendly, and appetizers and desserts are free for orders over $25 at the table. (We chose spring rolls and chocolate ice cream.) The food tasted great, and I will visit again with a friend.”
“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!!.”

“Had the most delicious brunch today at Pur n Simple - the service was fast and very friendly. Will definitely be returning very soon!
Dietary restrictions: My two roommates are Celiac and they were very accommodating and cautious about how the food was prepared.”
“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!!”
“Memorable night! Liam was super friendly and kind—we are visiting from out of town and he took the time to give his recommendations around town in addition to helping us with the games and great food/ drink service. The games themselves were fun, and there were plenty of options for just two people as well. The other staff members were just as helpful, patiently explaining the games and checking in on us. Highly recommend The Board Room!”
“On a cozy Nova Scotia evening I went out for dinner at this recommended restaurant, after a while of doing donuts to find parking we finally found a spot and got in early for our reservation.
The restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere and is well decorated on theme, the staff were mostly friendly and welcoming. The food was fine, a bit overcooked and less spiced, definitely a bit underwhelming for the recommendations of the restaurant but still an enjoyable dining experience.
If you’re in Halifax for a short amount of time I probably wouldn’t have this on the top of your list, but it’s not a bad option in anyway.
Parking: If it’s a busy night in Halifax (like a hockey game or etc) don’t expect to find parking right away”
“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”

“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”

“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.”
“This mcdonald's is my absolute favourite. The fries are always ALWAYS fresh like the platonic ideal of mcdonald's fries. These sweet workers remade my wrap after i had ordered it wrong, they were so sweet. The workers here make the location and they deserve a raise!!”
“I always go to this location on my trek to work. The staff is always friendly and some know me by order and name. Sometimes there's a slip up with an order but everyone is kind and understanding and quickly remedy the mistake. It's is a crazy fast paced environment and I see how some assholes treat the foreign staff, makes me sick. Have some patience ffs”
“I just want to say thank you for being open @ 4am. I was hungry and made the trek from the harbour and was so excited that you were open! People can complain about a lot of things but you were there when I needed you. Again, I appreciate the service and the much needed food, thank you.”
“I can't handle the big meals like a big mac. I get the happymeals because it's just enough food for me. They offer grinch ornaments in them. I give them to my grandson as he loves them. My fave is the chicken wrap. It's vg

“Drive-thru visit with a buddy on the way home. The property is well lit with ample parking. All areas have good signage. Ordered at the drive-thru speaker and it was seamless paying with my payment method on the app. We had a couple of burgers and fries, an Oreo Blizzard, an ice cream cone and a Fruitopia. All was as expected and fresh. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good visit.”
“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 go to the Mumford McDonald’s multiple times a week. The staff - particularly the drive thru girls, are amazing, personable and patient. Treat your people with respect and they return it. They know my order and my dog loves them. McDonald’s food is McDonald’s food, but the people make it.”
“We treat ourselves 3 or 4 times per year at Amano...always outstanding food & service. Never had just an ok experience....very nice.”

Takeout Restaurants
“We stopped in here for lunch before heading to the airport to go back home. What a great restaurant!! The owners are absolutely wonderful, the food was so good and flavourful. They have some vegan and vegetarian options as well. My partner had a vegan arepa and loved it. I had the chilaquiles verdes with chicken, it was amazing!”
“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!”
“This place is INCREDIBLE!! If you're thinking about going, DEFINITELY DO! We spent the year in Portland, Oregon (a vegan wonderland) and Wild Leek has the best vegan food I've eaten all year, and the best vegan mac and cheese I've had in my life. Amazing flavors, amazing textures. These folks nail it! Ocean was a wonderful host and kindly let us charge our laptops and get some work done over lunch. Support these wonderful women!
Dietary restrictions: Vegan and Gluten-free options.”
“Absolutely delicious food. Top tier service. Comfortable and clean space.
If you like sushi, they have it. If you want ramen, they have one option and it is perfect.
The takoyaki was exactly what I wanted. I had a bunch of salmon sushi and California rolls. Every piece was incredible. My husband had the ramen and it's some of the best we've ever had. Definitely the best we've had in the Halifax area.
I shop nearby fairly regularly and now expect that I'll just make sure those trips have enough time to stop in for a bite.
Literally cannot recommend this place enough. I'm in love.”
“Fresh fries. Steak n mushroom pie was good. Good options on tap. Like many restaurants nowadays I feel portion could have been a tad bigger for the price, maybe an additional side, but a common theme nowadays with shrinkflation. Always a solid choice.”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Have only been in once as I was passing by going to another business on the street. Service is amazing, friendly staff. Dirty chai latte is delicious. Didn't get food, but plan to next time. Nice cozy place inside a boxing business. Didn't see anyone boxing, but nice for day time coffee with one other person.”
“I wanted to take a moment to share how much I enjoyed our visits to your restaurant. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming, which really added to the overall experience.
I’d also like to give a special shout-out to Sunny, who went above and beyond in making all our visits memorable. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. Her positive energy and warm service truly made a difference, and we really appreciated it.
Thank you for a fantastic evening! I’m looking forward to returning soon and will definitely recommend your restaurant to my friends and family.”
“Was super excited to try this restaurant but it was not as great as I expected. The meals are extremely large in size and you definitely get your moneys worth! The lamb noodles were yummy and the quality of the beef short ribs were great! However, the ice cream was extremely expensive for just a few spoonfuls and I was a bit confused on why they would add mango popping pearls as it was brown sugar milk tea flavoured ice cream. As well, the shaved ice was an extreme letdown :( The ice was very chunky and was not shaved down at all, so instead of being creamy, the halo halo was very sharp and crunchy. The appearance of all the dishes were all so beautiful and the restaurant was so cozy? Overall, I would recommend coming here if you’ve been wanting to try it out, but for me personally, the taste of the food was a let down (especially the deserts). However, I would recommend this place for their main meals as the portions are generous and the atmosphere and customer service was great!?”
“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!”
“First time having BUD the SPUD today and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Food was fresh, hot and delicious! Staff were super friendly & customer service was excellent. 10/10 hands down best burger I have ever eaten - didn’t even have time to get a picture of it, so that speaks for itself.”
“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”
“I ordered Taylor Swift Cookies for my friends 30th birthday. It was kind of last minute and I'm located in Newfoundland. Halsey Cakes took my order and was so easy to deal with. The cookies were beautiful and my friend absolutely loved them. Highly recommend Halsey Cakes.”
“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.”

“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!”
“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. ⭐️”

Cheap Eats
“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 most amazing Indian Street Food! Great Service! Great Presentation and #AbsolutelyDelicious Will be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“On a day pouring with rain we all need a hot cup of coffee. This is the place to get it.
This little cafe is cute as a button and as expensive as one too, an easy place to just sit with a good cup of coffee and enjoy the atmosphere. The barista is very friendly and it was a joy to talk to her, I even missed her when it was time to leave. Overall good place to go if you need a quick on the go or done in coffee”
“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!”
“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”
“The service was terrific until near the end of our visit when we had to wait 20 minutes for a sushi roll after ordering it through their tablet. We also had to wait a while to get a server's attention for our bill. Overall, it was a great experience, and we loved the all-you-can-eat option.”
“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!”
“Amazing food!!! Freshest oysters I’ve ever had!!! Service was impeccable!! You won’t be disappointed!”
“A large selection of on tap and canned beers to choose from! We tried the Lucky Punk (sour ipa) and the Mango & Dragonfruit (fruited sour) beers. Both were great! I'm not a big fan of IPAs, but this one was interesting since it was a sour! The mango & dragonfruit was a beautiful dark pink color and the taste was smooth and fruity, very delicious!”
“My favourite Korean spot in Halifax! The bibimbap and bulgogi are soooo good, and the quality of meat and portion sizes for the kbbq are amazing. Really reasonably priced !”

“beautifully cooked steak, delicious cacio e pepe, fantastic service, great atmosphere.”
“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!”

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I LOVE THIS FOOD!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️????❤️??my favourite dish was the seafood risotto and the tuna!????❤️❤️????

“hands down the best chicken burger in town . will be making bliss a regular place in my travels downtown .awesome food and staff.”
“First time going today. Had the potatoe skins and 20 wing platter, shared with my wife. We both very much enjoyed every boneless wing we ate. The mini cheese cake was disappointing, the sauce was more jam flavored than anything and the main cake was very soft.
Service was very plesent. She explained how the menu is laid out and how to order our wings.
Atmosphere was nice, highly Aviation themed as you would imagine with their name. Seats were comfortable and plenty. We were the only ones there during our visit so it wasn't quiet.”
“We had the BEST dinner at Efes. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. We are definitely coming back.”
“Consistently delicious! Wish I was eating there right now!!!”
“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.”
“The lettuce wrap is great whether you get beef or chicken with it and the staff are super friendly.”

“First off i enjoy the beer and that's why I decided to vist the brewery. The tour experience was good and all the staff i met were friendly and helpful. They did give us four samples however you don't have to have any beer if you don't want. I did like the fact that they had a cheaper price for kids or people that don't drink. The last sample on the tour you could also opt for ice tea or lemonade. You can also buy beer on the gift shop. 10/10 i recommend.”
“Some of the best South Korean food I've had inside or outside South Korea. Cannot recommend enough!!!”
“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 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 beers are excellent and good recommendation from the Barman. The atmosphere is great with a great playlist! And the succulent smash burger and fries. I highly recommend after a good day visiting the city.”
“Fantastic food and even better service. We will definitely be 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!”
“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!”
“Feel like I’m back in England in a traditional pub with not a million tv s everywhere! Food options for gluten and dairy free make me feel welcomed as well….wow!!!”
“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!”
“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...”
“Thanks to whoever recommended them. Their gluten-free egg Benedicts are delicious. The staff is knowledgeable about Celiac, making it a great overall experience. Kudos to Miel et Beurre Breakfast Cafe. Miel et Beurre Breakfast Cafe thank you so much ♥️”

“Perfect little spot for a bite and a beer! Food and beer was great, and the service was impeccable. Special shout out to our waiter Brownie for being welcoming, attentive and just straight up good at his job (he literally knew the regular customer’s order by heart!). 10 outta 10 would recommend”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“The cocktails are fabulous and unique and it’s great to watch them prepare the drinks and food with such expertise and finesse”
“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.”
“Great location, nice atmosphere, friendly staff but food was just ok. I wanted to love it because it’s such a cute spot. I even went back two more times, but the food was unfortunately just average each time.”
“Went for breakfast. A very calming atmosphere. Sit by the window for nice views of the courtyard and harbor. Great service. Blueberry pancakes are very good and you can order just 1. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Would go 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!! Signed Tina from Ottawa”
“Firs time in after the renovation and rebrand it was nice and open. Tori was our server and was excellent and answered all my questions about the menu. The staff was polite and friendly. It was nice to see new menu items but the classics were also still available as the garlic bread has always been a family favourite. Food and service was great.”

“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.”

“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”
“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.”
“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”

“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.”

“Had a fantastic dining experience for my daughter's birthday! The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. Enjoyed the steak and chicken fajitas—both were flavourful and perfectly cooked. The staff was incredibly friendly, even wishing my daughter a happy birthday, which made the evening feel extra special. Plus, we were surprised with a complimentary dessert that was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this place for great food and warm, welcoming service!”

“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”
“The most amazing Indian Street Food! Great Service! Great Presentation and #AbsolutelyDelicious Will be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“5 star for service is a insult to how amazing the service was 100/5 to date the best service we have ever had at a restaurant. Hates off to the staff!
Food was excellent, recommend the calamari. They have a very elaborate wine and cocktail menu, the cocktails were mind blowing. The menu is limited in size but in a good way.
The restaurant is multi level so even though it was full it still felt intimate.
10/10 will dine again.”
“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.”
