We started off by asking for a mocktail. The server made us her special mix which had a tropical/peachy taste. Personally not a fan of mocktails, but I would order this one again from how good it was.We got a Schezwan Chicken Katsu for appetizer. It was phenomenal. Surprised it's an appetizer and not a main dish. Would give that an honest 10/10. Star of the night 100%For the mains we ordered donair gnocchi and the burger with fries.For the donair gnocchi, it was very flavourful. The sauce wasn't too sweet which we really loved. The gnocchi was very soft and fresh.The burger was worth the price for sure. I feel like the caramelized onions with the mayo i added for a personal preference made a great pair in the sandwich. I asked for the same mayo they put in our Chicken Katsu appetizer. (Yes it was that good)We ended it off with a brownie. It had a dark chocolate flavour and was rich. The raspberries on top were not overpowering it, I personally don't prefer fruits with my chocolate but i surprisingly liked this pair.In general the food was an easy 10/10.Service was outstanding (sorry I don't remember her name, but she was great and understood how we wanted our food and drinks made). 10/10Bathroom was clean and tidy which is always a good thing to see. Well done and definitely coming back again for the Chicken Katsu!

Really tasty brunch spot! It's not a big place so you can make a reservation to make sure you'll have a spot. The shakshuka was really good, also the donair breakfast.

Stopped here for brunch - interesting menu for a brunch place - Eg Korean dishes along with your typical chicken and waffles. I really liked the food and the service was great. The portions were a bit small but a lovely visit nonetheless.

The food here was so so so good. I loved how small and intimate it was for a yummy brunch! The only thing that will make me think twice before going back is the server. She was... well... kind of scary.
The servers were very unwelcoming, almost like they didn’t want us there, while the owner sat at the bar and read out loud all the reviews he could find about his restaurant online. The floors and bathroom were very dirty and the place in general was just very unappealing.The only thing worth coming back for was the hospitality and friendliness from the head chef, and the food he made was very good, I had the donair gnocchi. Other than that don’t waste your time going downtown Halifax just to go to afrite while there are so many other great restaurants in Halifax.

Held a private event here. Everything was outstanding. The food and cocktails were delicious. We had a spread so we got to sample most of the menu - all great. The hummus and donair, and the chicken and waffles were highlights. The staff were professional and accommodating, and service was quick. The owner (Andrew) and the team were very helpful, and set up the restaurant really well so we could have a relaxed and enjoyable evening. I look forward to going back to aFrite for dinner. Highly recommended!

One of the best meals we have had in a while. The kimchi poutine was such a great combination and the donair gnocchi was so flavourful. Great service and cool atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back.

Have a bad taste in our mouths and we didn't even get to eat here.Checked online to make sure they were open, arrived at 7:30pm on a Monday to find the doors locked but all the lights on including the patio lights. Initially excited quickly turned to disappointment and frustration.Not sure we'll be back to try again if their posted hours are inconsistent.

The servers were very friendly and attentive, the food was good, they gave us the drink but we waited more than 40 min to have our food :( The restaurant was full and the staff was not enough to serve everyone. You have to go with a lot of time in advance to avoid hunger stress because it is a long
