Restaurants in Halifax

“I would gladly fight a larger-than-average house cat if it came between me and the seared scallops. Five stars for the citrus and butter sauce alone.”

“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.

“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!!.”

The ambiance is so unique and inviting.We went for breakfast and it was an absolute delight! The banana bread was heavenly — the aroma and taste were just perfect. We tried the Egg Benny and the Beef Naan Wrap, and both were incredibly delicious. To top it all off, he even offered us a gut health drink after the meal — such a thoughtful touch!

“My wife, daughter her husband and I dined here last evening.Immediately upon entering we were struck by the decor and lively buzz of the patrons.
The service ( thank you Alana) was the BEST we have recd to date, we even had a short visit from the chef ( Moira Murray)!
Our cocktails were expertly prepared by Lindsay and the chef put together a tasting menu ( 10+ dishes) for us!! Everything was SO delicious, each dish elegantly prepared with unique flavor profiles.
What also stood out is that you can clearly see how all employees work seamlessly together to provide an excellent dining experience.
We will be back and we’ll be telling our friends as they’re missing out on Halifax’s best restaurant.”

“After a long night and a hangover we came looking for a cure (delicious food). When we got to pure and simple we were greeted by Kate, who had great energy and brought energy we need this morning! Oh and the food was delicious”

“The food at this restaurant was absolutley delicious. The server we had was gregarious, friendly, polite and knew excatly when to come by and when to leave us alone. The only set back was the crowed nature of the restaurant. The popularity of the place ment that you had to skilled at reading lips in order to communicate with your table mates.”

“Our first time at gio was fantastic, we will be back. the staff was very friendly. Thank you.”

“We had a wonderful date night. The food was excellent service was amazing. Such a great place to go.. highly recommend”

“We had an outstanding dining experience at The Press Gang that was enhanced by our server, Lindsey. We started with oysters and yellow-fin tuna. Both dishes were scrumptious. Our mains were the Tuscan Atlantic Salmon and Seafood Risotto. Both were excellent and Lindsay suggested the perfect wine pairing. This was by far one of the best dining experiences we have had!”

“Best chai latte I ever had”

“Had an absolutely incredible meal at Au Liban in Halifax! Every single dish was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented — from the tabbouleh and hummus to the grilled halloumi and sujuk in pomegranate sauce. The warm pita was nonstop and perfect with everything. Amazing food, great service, and such a welcoming vibe. A masterclass from their culinary team. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Favourite restaurant in Halifax. Consistently exquisite meals and incredible service!”

“hands down the best chicken burger in town . will be making bliss a regular place in my travels downtown .awesome food and staff.”

“If you're craving authentic Indian flavors, The Adda Indian Eatery is a delightful spot that doesn’t disappoint. We tried their chole bhature and a cup of chai, and both were a hit. The chole was rich, well-spiced, and perfectly balanced—not overly oily, which is often the case elsewhere. The bhature came out hot and fluffy, with just the right amount of crisp on the outside and softness inside. It’s the kind of comfort food that makes you feel right at home. To top it off, their **tea** was just as impressive—brewed strong with aromatic spices, slightly sweet, and served piping hot. It paired beautifully with the meal and rounded off the experience nicely. The ambiance was cozy with a casual, homely vibe, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you're in the mood for a hearty, flavorful Indian meal, The Adda is definitely worth a visit. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️”

“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’m selling 4 Lil Tecca Tickets for tonight show October 15th at Marquee Theatre - Tempe, AZ. If anyone interested in buying please send me a message ASAP unfortunately we cannot attend anymore. Willing to transfer them via Ticketmaster”

“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.”

“The staff here is fabulous, there is one team member Anju, that works here and every morning she makes me smile, and starts my day off great. She is always smiling and wishes me a good day or weekend! Thanks for making my day start off bright!! The food is always fresh and well presented. This is the absolute best Tim's ever.”

“The restaurant is predominately consistent with my orders. The food is usually fresh with their spicy meat being the best. Employees are friendly as well and they will help you if there was a mistake with your order on their side. One of them being Baljeet Kaur who always greets me whenever I enter. The music the staff plays also adds to the atmosphere making it cool spot!”

“and of course their coffee... yummy..”

“Since Covid most Burger Kings have gone way down hill such as Tacoma drive food is crap 90% of the time. Well today I stopped here and had a whopper meal and to my surprise WOW it was the best meal I’ve had at a Burger King anywhere in ns. Fries were hot and crispy the burger was hot and the cold side cold not soggy and dripping crappy everywhere. It was worth the stop. It was so good I had to ask for the manager and give them credit. Hope you folks keep up this quality it’s how you fix your poor rating. Quality Quality!!”

“I ordered online from subway app, but i by mistakenly choose wrong pickup time and a guy name MIKE was really helpful and he made our order really nice and quick.
really appreciated,Thank you very much Mike.”

“Bathrooms were the cleanest i have seen even in a nice restaurant. For fast food i was imoressed. Everything was hot and fresh, i mean fresh cooked as we know mcd is not really fresh but for what it was, it was a good experince.”

“An excellent Don's, one of the best in HRM in my opinion. I find the staff all friendly and quick. My order is always made promptly, correctly, and warm. This McDonalds is typically very clean, with plenty of parking. Location isn't ideal for walking, but great when you're driving around the area.”

“They messed my order up at first, but were able to fix it with no further issues. The guy even told me to check it before walking away, to ensure I didn't waste my time going to sit down again if there was another issue.”

“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.”

“This location has the most friendly staff, that works extremely hard. I've never had any issues with my orders, and the wait time usually isn't bad. I love coming in here, you should too.”

“I visit this place every now and then, and it’s one of the cleanest McDonald’s I’ve ever been to. The cafe is spacious, with many tables and seats to choose from, and you can also sit outside. My sister Daria and like the fact that there’s a strong glass between me and the road, making me feel safer and more comfortable while eating.

I always order from the pad, and my orders have always been correct. The best food here is probably the French fries and caramel ice cream.”

“I visited Wednesday late night at the Drive thru and had the best experience I ever had from burger King. The staff was very nice and polite and quick, great customer service. Your late night crew deserves a raise. She also made sure I had hot and fresh food.”

“I stop here most mornings before work. Quality people - energy is tangible and they glide through (seemingly) effortlessly even when slammed. Appreciate them.”

“We went for Mother’s Day brunch today, it was so good!!! The service was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious! We are already planning our next visit. Thanks for the great experience 😊”

“amazing! came back twice while here on business”

“Mozza sticks as big as your dinner fork & crustless cheesecake whipped to perfection - a true 10/10 !”

“Love the Stubborn Goat. Have been there for drinks and on our recent trip to Halifax, we ate there as well. Great food, drinks, people and atmosphere. Will definitely make it a “go to” when we are in Halifax. Maggie our bartender was amazing!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ !! The Prospect Road location is going to be such a well loved location - so much so that, I don’t think the staff realized how much of the community would flock there. They’re BUSY, and out of ingredients, but the staff there were HUSTLING around, smiling and getting orders out that they could. I expect delays at the beginning. They never expected so much traffic, give them patience folks and expect a mess up in your order possibly or wait until they are fully loaded and in the flow with the area. Otherwise incredible sub (despite picking off a couple things I didn’t ask for), the bread was amazing, still 10/10 would go back, and didn’t even care it was chaotic. Inside though although small, its essentially a novelty convenience store with local goodies. They have a little bakery section with homemade stuff, the moon mist fudge was incredible and a must try! They also had a bunch of “Jones Soda” flavours that I’ve never seen before anywhere around here - even at the big candy stores, (like s’mores and the fallout edition one) which was pretty cool!! They still have ice cream and everything that was at multi scoop - just with a lot more options and delicious fresh options to go. Something for ANYONE at a really reasonable price. Prospect needed this so much - thank you, and good luck with your continued success! 🎉♥️”

“The best, real espresso. Love it.”

“There’s not a single thing on the menu that I don’t love here… Everything is made with care and skill. The restaurant itself has a few nice little tables to sit at, and the takeout and delivery options cover everything as well.”

“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.”

“Hands down the best Korean food I’ve ever had in my life, not even lying whatsoever. The meat was so good, especially the karaage—which I devoured four orders of BY MYSELF. The staff are awesome and kind. Overall, you should definitely visit!!”

“Johnnys is a classic. An old school diner that keeps it simple good food, good service, good price, fast and fresh. A lunch time go to for us at our office. I take our out of town guests all the time they love it and want to go back when they are back in town.”

“I don't get there nearly as often as I would like, but it's one of my favourite coffee shops in Halifax. Great food and drinks, lovely staff, and cute decor!”

“Our server was very helpful with directions about Halifax. She was not put out at all and seemed genuinely kind. She was prompt and attentive. The chicken wings were tasty, the margarita was far to sour, in my oppion. Very much an irish pub menu.”

“Your food always looks so colourful and exciting!! I know 100% it is super tasty too. Your love for community and fellow man is admirable.”

“Great service. Good coffee and food.”

“Great atmosphere, great food and service. I would come back for sure.”

“Service and food were stellar as always. Wine list is versatile, yet approachable. Music and overall din were very loud, making it difficult to hear my dining companion.”

“Amazing spot for drinks and food!!”

“Visit Friday December 5, 2025. Mobility impaired persons should be aware of stairs. Dinning Room located on main floor and pub located downstairs. Great authentic vibes, great menu selection of beverages and dishes. Food ordered was great, and suggested beer by staff was spot on. Would recommend. Bit of a cold draft downstairs despite the lovely fireplace.”

“Nice place to relax, great food and pastries. Great customer service! Kids friendly. Dog friendly. Must try anything with Ube.”

“Our family dined at this fabulous restaurant a number of times and what a truly amazing experience it was. The food, the atmosphere, the service was excellent. They treat every customer as special. We definitely will be back to enjoy their wonderful food. We order online as well, prompt delivery - awesome.”

“Amazing breakfast sandwich!”

“love this little place! it is truly a labor of love and feels like you’re sitting in the living room of a friend that is a coffee expert. the vibe is cozy and you know you’re gonna get a delicious cup made with care and intentionality.”

“Terry and I just had the most amazing anniversary lunch at Tarek's. We had the dinner for two. Words cannot even come close to how delicious this meal was. It was great seeing Tarek and his wife. Everyone needs to eat here! THANK YOU Terek”

“My first time here today and it was amazing!!! we got the Tteok-Bokki and the Dak-Gangjeong and both were very tasty. and spicy. service was fast and polite too! will be coming back again soon :D 10/10”

“Just had an early dinner with a friend here, and it was AMAZING! My first time eating fresh sushi in a restaurant (only previous experience was eating California rolls from a supermarket), and it was a thoroughly pleasurable meal. Fast/friendly service, delicious food…they even included an extra platter of sushi on the house! Highly recommend!!”

“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.”

“Got takeout here and our broth container broke so they offered us a new one. They repackaged our entire meal and gave us a pot of green tea while we waited. The tonkatsu ramen was delicious, highly recommend. And having books in the restaurant is really cute”

“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 ;)”

“Best breakfast sandwich off the charts excellent service coffee is always perfect. Soup is always guaranteed healthy. Non-dairy completely tasty. It’s a place you can trust. The baked goods are deadly. Really good place!!”

“Meilleur steak et service en ville, je vous le conseille fortement 😍”

“We celebrated our 40th anniversary over their Brunch buffet. Truly amazing fusion of flavours and spices. Highly recommended and the staff made our experience memorable. Thank you alcon.”

“Peacock is a beautiful restaurant with a lovely ambience and it's a great place to enjoy happy hour. NS bubbles are $5 off per glass before 6:00 and there is a nice range of bar snacks. The other great thing about happy hour is that the restaurant is lively, but not so noisy that you can't hear the other people at your table speak.”

“Very classy! A great place for a solo date or a romantic date or professional date too. Meals are also not exorbitantly priced.

Will be coming back!”

“Lunch time for our last meal before heading back to Edmonton. Excellent food! My husband Paul was wowed by his steak sandwich, and I thoroughly enjoyed my calamari and mussels. Great food and fantastic service.”

“Had an amazing experience at Nespresso The customer service was truly exceptional, and I want to give a special shout-out to Mrunalini. She was fantastic—super helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made the visit truly enjoyable. Great customer service!”

“Tried the chicken bahn mi tonight and it was exceptional. The bread was fresh and the chicken was delicious. Friendly, fast service as well.”

“all the foods here is great”

“The environment was really nice I just sat in the corner doing my homework, and it felt so cozy. It was my first time trying the matcha cheesecake — it was good, I also got the matcha latte to go. I prefer sweeter so I added 5 pumps of sugar — it was super delicious!”

“Freshii Halifax never disappoints! I ordered the Chicken Parmesan bowl and also tried the “Create Your Own” option — both were super fresh, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. The ingredients tasted really clean, and the staff were friendly and quick to serve. The place has a nice, welcoming vibe and is perfect for a healthy lunch or quick bite. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Halifax for a fresh and satisfying meal! 🥗💚”

“Good price and good tastes. I liked all dishes that I choosed. Staff are very kind and nice.”

“Some of the best cheesecake I’ve ever had”

“Friendly staff and delicious drinks/food. Very glad it's so close to my workplace so that I can walk over every day that I'm in office 🙂”

“By far the best sushi in Halifax! The employees are all very friendly and polite, service is quick, location is very clean, prices are great and the food is delicious - highly recommend! All the stars and thumbs up for Tokyo Roll Halifax 💕”

“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”

“Amazing food and service - we will definitely come back!”

“First visit. Had breakfast sandwich and coffee. Both AMAZING!!”

“I wish I had a picture of the milkshake I ordered. It was literally the best milkshake I’ve ever had, and I’m over 40 years old so that means something. I’ll be going back, maybe just before I see a movie. 👏”

“We tried Chicking tonight after hearing others rave about it, we were not disappointed! The chicken was AMAZING and the king sauce super delicious! We will absolutely be back!”

“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!”

“Delicious latte and blueberry oatmeal muffin, great service and atmosphere.”

“the customer serivice s was great when i walked in and tryed to order he had asked me waht it was i wanted i would give therese guys 1 10 out of 10 not only do they have great food but a great cook that wants to taKE THE TIME TO GET IT RIGHT THanks guys your the best im caling now”

“Our server was very helpful with directions about Halifax. She was not put out at all and seemed genuinely kind. She was prompt and attentive. The chicken wings were tasty, the margarita was far to sour, in my oppion. Very much an irish pub menu.”

“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!”

“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”

“Food was great as usual. Service was excellent. Our server, Jenna, was so pleasant, knowledgable and attentive. The food came out quickly, even quicker than a Tim Horton's drive-thru or in-house at any "fast food" restaurant. Very impressed.”

“The food at this restaurant was absolutley delicious. The server we had was gregarious, friendly, polite and knew excatly when to come by and when to leave us alone. The only set back was the crowed nature of the restaurant. The popularity of the place ment that you had to skilled at reading lips in order to communicate with your table mates.”

“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.”

“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...”

“I had a piece of birthday cake from Susie's it was my sons girlfriends birthday she brought us a few slices of Vanilla with buttercream icing it was to die for so sweet and delicious. I have to say I was impressed I generally go for Chocolate but I have to say I would order it myself. Can't wait to stop by and try the peanut butter Cup cupcake looks so yummy!!!”

“Hey guys... Remember when we used to get Donairs as a kid that were so awesome? These guys sell it! It's the exact same thing. Absolutely amazing. We only order from these guys now in Halifax because they never let us down. Always the same consistent awesome food.”

“This food is amazing. The service is friendly and helpful. They serve you enough food. Shrink-flation doesn't seem to have diminished their portions. I just ate nachos and they were saturated with fresh vegetables. I feel nourished. 10/10 folks.”

“Best breakfast sandwich off the charts excellent service coffee is always perfect. Soup is always guaranteed healthy. Non-dairy completely tasty. It’s a place you can trust. The baked goods are deadly. Really good place!!”

“Our family dined at this fabulous restaurant a number of times and what a truly amazing experience it was. The food, the atmosphere, the service was excellent. They treat every customer as special. We definitely will be back to enjoy their wonderful food. We order online as well, prompt delivery - awesome.”

“Nice place to relax, great food and pastries. Great customer service! Kids friendly. Dog friendly. Must try anything with Ube.”

“We arrived a bit after 4pm. Waited to be seated by a friendly hostess. The service was good all did I have a bit difficulty understanding what was said. The food was very good and fast. The bourbon burger tasted good. The only thing I would like to say is that we found the restaurant very cold. We were seated next to the kitchen and we could feel a cold draft. We told the server and she said she would ask the manager. Of course we didn’t stay long enough to feel the difference so I hope for the other guests it got warmer. We thought the price for one burger with fries was a bit on the high side. But we ate there on a Wednesday night so received the second (same) meal half price.”

“Very classy! A great place for a solo date or a romantic date or professional date too. Meals are also not exorbitantly priced.

Will be coming back!”

“Very fast service and polite staff.”

“We decided to go out for lunch because the holiday decor was simply magical, but in the end I was completely won over for life by my experience. I recently discovered that I couldn't have a certain ingredient, so I was new to ordering in restaurants. The chef came to our table and kindly went through everything I could eat. He was so understanding, and even though I had to omit some ingredients, I absolutely loved my meal. I had the mushroom birria tacos, Brussel sprouts, and guac and chips, and they were incredible! I just want to say thank you for your kindness, and I’ll definitely be back. I think this is a hidden gem in plain sight. Please go for a festive holiday lunch with friends, or just any lunch!! so fun, and delicious.”

“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”

“Everything was great except how we booked ahead of time yet we were seated in a cramped corner back to back with another table of 6? And when inquired about changing the table we realized there was atleast 5 other tables we could switch to that were nicer with bigger space so big question mark to the host?? Otherwise food was great and service was fair.”

“My favorite place to eat when I visit the city from fresh salads to pot roast soup to the chicken tacos everything is top notch. It's the best! And don't forget the mouthwatering steaks and ribs are on a whole other level”

“If you're craving authentic Indian flavors, The Adda Indian Eatery is a delightful spot that doesn’t disappoint. We tried their chole bhature and a cup of chai, and both were a hit.

If you're in the mood for a hearty, flavorful Indian meal, The Adda is definitely worth a visit. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️”

“Wide menu with good value for the portions. Classic diner-style spot — casual and a bit outdated but cozy. We tried the lobster roll, fish and chips, and clam chowder. The fish and chips were the standout, great flavor and crispy fries. The chowder was rich and creamy but a bit cold, and the lobster roll was good but not amazing. Overall, a solid place for a casual meal, though not sure it’s the best representation of Halifax seafood.”

“great spot for cocktails.”

“We dined after a busy day at work & it was DELISH & great service, atmosphere , food and views ! We'll be back ! 😋”

“We go anytime were in Halifax. The foods great and service is always amazing. Even during the lunch rush he makes sure everyone is served in a very timely manner. There must have been at least 20 'kids' in there today when we went in and he still made sure that no one waited more than a few minutes. Always impressed with service and the foods ALWAYS worth stopping for. Never been anywhere that cares as much about the quality of service AND food they offer as Tony's does!”

“Nice food, prices on par with other food places at uni but the quality and quantity is waaaay more worth it! The staff are very nice too! say hello to them when you swing by :D”

“I could not be more thankful for the staff at the lower deck. While shooting an event, my bag was stolen and not only did the event coordinator help me sort things out on the camera, but Mike the bouncer actually FOUND my backpack AND all of my gear (minus bank cards) in a nearby lot!! I could not be more grateful for the AMAZING staff who not only kept me calm, but no joke, FOUND ALL OF MY GEAR AND SAVED THE DAY!!! Mike, Steph, and Laura seriously deserve an award for how above and beyond they went last night. 10/10, thank you does not say enough”

“Exceptional food and ambiance will definitely return.👌”

“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!”

“I drop by this wee bakery cafe every time I go to the warehouse market - it's my sweet treat for loading up on veggies. Sometimes I have to wait cause they're often super busy, but it's ALWAYS worth it! Friendly staff remember my fave drink order (strawberry yuzu lemonade!!), and the fact that I always buy a madeleine for my mom :). A thoughtful, kind crew that produces the best in-house baked goods in Halifax! Esp love the almond and cinnamon rolls, basque cheesecake, and Mum's madeleine (ANY flavour). Give them some LOVE!”

“Love that this place is totally plant based. Wish it was more obvious. Also wish they had some more gf options. That said the food was great and the coffee is well made.

Very chill atomosphere. Cute space with good amount of tables and good use of the garage door. The staff are chill”

“This place is one of a kind! Authentic Caribbean grandma recipes. When they say it's spicy, believe them!

The place here is Caribbean vibes. Your food comes to the table as it's ready. No specific order. Not all main dishes are served at the same time and that's great. If you want to get in and out, this is not the place for you. The plates have just the right amount of food, full of flavor and authenticity.

They have rum flights from all over the Caribbean. They have the most amazing jerk chicken. When the owner comes to see how you enjoyed your meal, you feel like you've found a little piece of the Caribbean right here in Halifax!”

“Nice clean cosy feeling restaurant with friendly attentive staff. Dosa, curry, rice and naan were carefully presented and very tasty, mango lassi was especially tasty. Highly recommend.”

“My experiences at Mystic have been exceptional. Once with a small dinner group and once hosting an event. The food, atmosphere and service are next level. The bar is set high here. Bravo.”

“Hands Down the Best Shawarma place in Halifax !!

I’ve been to City Shawarma many times, and every single visit has been consistently amazing. The food is always incredibly fresh, flavorful, and made with real love and pride. You can truly taste the tradition in every bite — from their perfectly seasoned shawarma to their crispy falafels, fluffy rice, and fresh, vibrant salads.

The restaurant is spotless, the service is always friendly, and you can tell the team truly cares about what they do. My friend Ahmad Qadoomi, recommended this place to me, and I have to say — what an amazing recommendation! He was absolutely right about how much pride these guys take in their food and how authentic their flavors are.

City Shawarma has easily become my go-to spot in Halifax for authentic Middle Eastern food. Highly recommend!”

“Delicious! Had a veggie burrito with refried beans, mushrooms, rice, guacamole, etc - sooo good. And fast! Dartmouth location.”

“Three guests in our party. Ate lunch there enjoying the Broccoli and Cheese Quiches with coffees and a hot chocolate. Quiches were very light, flavourful and incredibly filling. As we were celebrating a birthday, a dessert was selected by each of us: a chocolate cheesecake square, a peanut butter square with chocolate layer on top and an apple dessert as big as your head made with puff pastry and sweet apple filling. Verdict? Delicious!”

“Fine pizzas by Yeah-Yeahs. A solid variety of their beers, as well as non-alcoholic beverages. They've initiated a good Sunday night acoustic guitar session, but unfortunately, the sightline from the majority of the seating is blocked by a low partition. It also affects the clarity of the music.”

“I love the ice cream window during the summer. They carry Moon Mist!”

“Ample space to stay and work/study. Nice playlist. The counter staff was unwelcoming which was surprising. The barista was friendly. Menu seems varied I can’t comment as I only had a flat white. I had requested extra hot and it came lukewarm and not full. I’m not appreciating the mandatory minimum 15% tip option.”

“We went here on a whim because we found the name of the restaurant to be a bit comical. We had no idea how absolutely incredible the food and service would be. The food was absolutely outstanding. All of it tasted amazing, and it was very reasonably priced. We were thoroughly impressed throughout the entire service. It was very difficult to pick our menu items as everything sounded delicious. We really enjoyed our time and can't wait to come back again!”

“Great sandwiches. I had the Bella Roma. It was a pure and delicious Italian sub. Honestly surprised that a sandwich shop like this even exists in Halifax. Strongly recommend for a really good sandwich in town. Hoping that they can lengthen their hours so that I can go on the weekends and for dinner.”

“Yes to Bravado! One of my new favourite places. The service? Top tier! The food? Absolutely smashing! The atmosphere? Welcoming and cozy. I highly recommend and will be one of my staple venues, especially when hosting friends.”

“I always order my Starbucks through DoorDash, and honestly, the team is amazing! 🩵 Every time, I call after placing my order to ask for extra ice in my pink drink they always do it with such kindness and good vibes. Even on the days I forget to call (since DoorDash doesn’t have an option for extra ice), they still remember to add it! 🧊😭 That kind of attention and consistency means a lot. Thank you to the whole team you’re absolutely adorable!”
