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.”

East Side Mario's 186 Chain Lake Dr, Halifax Italian • $$

“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!”

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 Five Fishermen 1740 Argyle St, Halifax Seafood • $$$

“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”

Toridori 1715 Lower Water St, Halifax Asian

“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!?”

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!”

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.”

“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.

“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”

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.”

“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

Da Maurizio 1496 Lower Water St, Halifax Italian • $$$

“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.”
