Canadian Restaurants near Bedford, NS

“Had a delicious meal tonight at the Larry Uteck location with my family. Portions were very large and great taste. But what made our night is the incredible server we had who was both witty, charming, funny while also very professional. He made my parents and grandmother all smile and laugh which was really appreciated. It is excellent service and quality staff which make a resteraunt not just the food and clearly Morris East knows this.“

“Holy smokes. Where do I start? Thanks to the entire Canteen family - and I say FAMILY purposefully as you feel the family atmosphere as soon as you arrive - for hosting our team for dinner last week. We booked out the whole restaurant and they did just what we hoped for: Maritime hospitality, wonderful, genuine service and knock-your-socks off food. The team from across Canada went bananas over the Crobster sandwich. The special welcome from the owners was a lovely touch. The guests raved all the way back across the harbour on the ferry about the wonderful meal from start to finish. It’s a lovely space that is not pretentious and puts an emphasis on fantastic food and exemplary service, with a genuine smile. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food and service is incredible 🌯“

“Sunday morning after nine turned out to be perfect timing, no wait at all and the kids could actually be loud without anyone glaring at us. We split the lobster benny and a stack of pancakes and both plates got demolished, which never happens with my picky eater. Our server kept the coffee coming and even brought the little ones some crayons without us asking, which bought us just enough time to eat while it was still hot. Easy to find parking nearby too, so loading up two toddlers afterward wasn't the usual circus.“

“great food and best prices in halifax“

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

“The chowder and jambalaya were great .!!!!!!!“

“A Hidden Gem!

Reta's is a delightful spot where every dish bursts with flavor and the service is always warm and welcoming. From the first bite to the last, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. It's a quiet, cozy place that lets you truly enjoy your meal and the company you're with. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing dining experience with amazing food!

I wish the plating of the duck dish would be a bit different. We couldn't enjoy the sauce much without ordering the sourdough bread. Also if spoons were provided without asking as the sauces go to waste and we cannot enjoy them with the fork so the amazing sauces are wasted.“

“Ohhhh my god I had to be rolled out I was so full. Best oysters I've ever had. Sat at the bar and chatted with the chef non-stop. 5 stars“

“We ordered empanadas, arepas and black beans for lunch. Everything was extremely delicious. Try the cheese and pork empanadas, and the pork arepas with extra cheese. wow!“

“So good!

A bit pricey (but we had the most expensive item on the menu), I also dont mind paying for quality food and service. Most places are expensive and they do not deliver excellence. We were pleasantly surprised at how delicious our meal was.

Portion sizes arent huge, which we appreciated as it left us feeling full but not like we were over stuff or being wasteful.

For dinner we had the NY striploin steak (4oz as we wanted dessert) with a red wine reduction sauce. Well.... Let me tell you, best steak ever! Vegetables and potatoes were cooked to perfection, plus the steaks came topped with garlic butter and huge portion of onions and mushrooms on the side made in the same garlic butter! The Keg used to be good, and we've been so disappointed the past few years, that were thrilled to find a place that can create a delicious meal for a fair price (comparative to other restaurants)

For dessert we each had a big piece of coconut cream pie, which was unbelievable.

Spent $170 overall with tax and tip included. Considering we eat out a couple times a year, this was very fair considering what we received.

The next morning we each had Eggs Benedict, which was also great!

Hats off to the chef and the staff!“

“We went to Moxies for the very first time. We had fast service, staff was extremely nice. The food came quick and was absolutely delicious. I would definitely go back again.“

“are you looking for a home cooked style meal without all the messy clean up after then Kempsters is the place to go food is awesome portions generous are you looking for a friendly environment where staff are cheerful always smiling and taking time to answer questions and enjoy their job then Kempsters is the place to go, it is a family friendly place to go they even have a party room for about 20 people I give them an 11 out of 10“

“Our server Victoria G. was very pleasant and helpful ..very nice to be able to eat without loud music blasting ...And the Canadian Eh Burger was delicious ....“

“One of the best dining experiences I had in Halifax. Everything at Drift felt thoughtful, from the beautiful waterfront setting to the genuinely warm and attentive service.

The Atlantic salmon tartare served in mini waffle cones was creative, fresh and beautifully presented. The Nova Scotia lobster hushpuppies were exceptional, crispy, rich and perfectly balanced by the citrus aioli. For my main, I had the roast chicken with rappie pie. The chicken was incredibly tender, and the rappie pie was comforting and full of flavour. It’s still chicken at the end of the day, but this exceeded every expectation I had.

The cocktails were also outstanding: distinctive, well-balanced and made with exactly the right amount of alcohol. The biggest surprise was a complimentary bite from the chef a delicate cracker which may genuinely have been the best bite of the entire meal.

Excellent food, creative presentation and 10/10 hospitality. Drift offers a real taste of Nova Scotia rather than simply another upscale restaurant meal. Absolutely worth visiting.“
