“Good food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere!Coworkers and I stopped in for lunch. We are from out of town and chose this place because they had vegan options. I had the vegan hash with tofu and it was quite good! Coworkers had the fish tacos and smash burger and they really enjoyed their food! (I had to dock one star because the hash could have been crispy but I am nitpicking.)Our server was very friendly and the atmosphere had a relaxed vibe.I will add this place to my lift of vegan-friendly spots to eat in Halifax, as I return for work a few times a year.Vegetarian options: Vegan hash with tofu.“
“The Canteen had a cozy atmosphere. The menu had lots of delicious options. I was hoping to try their lobster roll but it was a seasonal dish. I had the haddock sandwich and soup. The sandwich was good but the soup was delicious. Service was great.“
“With a lot of enthusiasm, I ordered online and came to pick up today. The process of ordering online and picking up was smooth and timely. The dishes were packed neatly in branded plastic boxes, through which the food looked amazing. You can definitely notice the authenticity of the flavors, However, I had only two issues with the:De Patacon was incredible, but very hard to hold in my hands. Everything inside fell apart, and they had to eat the amazing ingredients separately.The beef empanada, although crispy, it is still deep-fried in the corn dill flavor, overpowers the taste of watching Side.I will definitely come back for another taste of the amazing Patacon, hopefully you’ll figure out how to eat it correctly“
“Went for a dinner with a friend at 7.30 on a Friday. It was moderately crowded. Became almost full within an hour. It is a very decent place in terms quality and size of portions. I ordered the chicken valley, and I surely recommend it as a full nutritious and delicious dinner dish. The waiters were responsive and very helpful and pleasant. The vibe was beautifully vibrant and the creme brulee is definitely a must. Highly recommended!“
“My partner recently took me to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday and let me just say.. they DID NOT disappoint. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the staff and our waiter, Oscar. Oscar was friendly and very professional. He did a phenomenal job explaining each item on the menu and making suggestions. It was clear that Oscar is a foodie and passionate about food and the pairings. He made it his mission to ensure we had an amazing dinner. He was meticulous in pairing our meals with the perfect wine and even took the time to explain why he recommended each dish or wine pairing. He asked the right questions to make the perfect recommendations and he was warm and welcoming the entire night. We were even wowed to find out that not only was he our waiter, but he also doubled as the bartender making the most amazing, delicious and refreshing cocktails. If I had a business of my own, Gios would be in a tough spot because I would hired Oscar in the spot lol.The food was amazing. Literally everything we had was 10/10. The appetizers were delicious.. to the point that some dishes like the snapper left us eager for more! We ordered almost a little of everything but my favorites were the parpadelle pasta, the wild boar and red fish. I absolutely loved the flavors in the pasta and the pesto was amazing. The boar was perfectly cooked and the portion was perfect and quite filling. The fish was well seasoned and absolutely delicious. I will absolutely be back to Gio because I have that burger on my mind and I’m yearning for more.Thank you for an amazing dinner & special thanks to Oscar for being the most amazing waiter I have ever experienced. It’s clear you are passionate, love food and take the time to learn and understand the menu in depth. The restaurant is absolutely lucky to have you on their team!!!“
“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.“

“All the stars.. if you want to have an old school diner experience then come see the gang here.. not many of these spots left in halifax. Take your piece of paper to write down what you want and don’t forget to put your dishes away you filthy animals ? just go grab a club and some onion rings.. have a milkshake and forget about counting your calories for a minuteParking: Lots of surround streets to park on“
“Absolutely love this restaurant in the heart of Halifax!Stopped in for a quick breakfast before catching our flight in August 2023.Service was on point, and the breakfast and lunch options were exactly what we were looking for!We opted for the western hash and a pulled pork sandwich. Both were bomb! The ham and potatoes in the hash were unique and flavourful and the eggs were cooked perfectly.The pulled pork Sammy was tangy and delicious with a healthy portion of pulled pork.One of the best breakfast experiences I've had.Well done team!“
“Being from Montréal, I love a good poutine. You won't be disappointed here! Real cheese curds (grated cheese is NOT poutine), they don't skimp on the sauce, the fries are like Restaurant Lafleur and the best part is they put it in a metal bowl. Stays HOT. Great service, too.“
“This is one of my favorite restaurants downtown Halifax. The food is delicious, no matter what I order. They are very busy but always quick to get your food. The staff are always friendly, polite and helpful. My favorite dish is the pork fried dumplings in noodle soup.“
“The Brooklyn Warehouse is a West End staple and at the heart of the food scene in Halifax. The staff are always fantastic at recommending options and pairing, the food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is relaxed and cared for. If you are looking for a great spot to catch up with friends over a drink and appetizers or a fantastic date night, the Brooklyn Warehouse has to be on the top of your list!“
“We had to rush and our server and restaurant were very accommodating. Our food came out at record pace once we notified them that we had to catch rebooked flight. It was too bad we couldn’t enjoy the wonderfully prepared meal at a more reasonable pace, but we will return in the future if we’re in Halifax again.“
“2 Doors Down has consistently great food and service. Conveniently located in the heart of downtown, it is a great spot for lunch or dinner. Today I got the Quinoa Salad with chicken and it did not disappoint. It was full of vegetables: chickpeas, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet potato, pumpkin seeds.Our server was very friendly, accommodating of food allergies and provided great service. Definitely recommend.“
“Ordered the butternut squash gnocchi and it was delicious! The portions are smaller for the price/cost but for what youre getting is a thoughtful take which reminded me of an italian dish, asian fusion flavours kick. Which i have not had a lot of until now. The gnocchi with the almost curry-like creamy sweet savoury sauce with the butternut squash gnocci paired so well with the stracciatella cheese with Seasame seeds.The harmony of the two was well composed. I also heard great things about the baos, trout and beef tar tar (also having a nice asian touch to it).What was more impressive was the kitchen/cooks were cooking for everyone in a very small section in the front beside the bar, using a electric stove top to prepare the food they did. As a cook myself, i really find this impressive for the quality and quantity they are serving at. Of course, keep in mind the food from kitchen to table, but trust me it’s worth the wait!Would definitely come back, but next time would love a seat by the kitchen/bar area to observe cooking processes.Compliments to the chefs ?“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“Stopped in while on an evening walk along the waterfront. Enjoyed ice cream in a waffle cone. Ice cream was good, but the waffle cone really elevated the entire taste. I’ve since been back twice and noticed that the ice cream flavors are not always available. Staff working the counter are friendly and offer generous scoops.“
“From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, the vibrant energy was palpable. Surrounded by eye-catching murals and a playful neon sign proclaiming “Drink More Apples,” the atmosphere was whimsically inviting, hinting at a menu with flair and creativity.Settling in, the dish that first graced the table was a colorful rendition of what seemed like an Asian-inspired fried rice. Topped with a duo of golden-brown fried chicken pieces, it was a dance of textures and flavors. The chicken was crisp on the outside, tender within, and each bite of the rice was a delightful mélange of savory spices and crisp veggies.Next came a plate that reimagined the classic fish and chips. Instead of the usual suspects, sweet potato fries accompanied the fish, their caramelized edges whispering tales of the grill they’d danced on. The fish, encased in a light, airy batter, broke away in succulent flakes—a testament to its freshness. A slice of lemon and a kiwi garnish were the perfect tangy sidekicks to this hearty main.Service throughout the meal was unobtrusive yet attentive, enhancing the casual, laid-back vibe of the place. This wasn’t just a meal; it was a gastronomic journey through familiar comforts presented with an unexpected twist. I left satisfied, already reminiscing about the flavors that had just waltzed across my palate.“
“Went down on Thursday evening to enjoy live music and the DJ, both were amazing and made for an amazing night of dancing.I heard about fresh haddock being served the next day so I had to come back and the food was just as amazing if not better!Over all a phenomenal start to my easter weekend“
“Dining at the Hop Scotch Dinner Club, I was blown away by one dish in particular. The scallops were just divine, seared to a perfect crisp on the outside while remaining incredibly tender and juicy on the inside. It's rare to find that balance executed so flawlessly. Then there was the 'nduja sauce and red lentils – oh, what a pairing! The sauce added just the right kick, and the lentils brought a comforting earthiness that grounded the dish. And those fermented carrots? Their sharpness and the skill in their preparation were nothing short of impressive. The dish was also a treat for the eyes, adorned with calendula petals and a drizzle of their oil, adding a splash of color and a hint of elegance. It was an unforgettable experience, a beautiful blend of flavors, textures, and visual appeal, all thanks to the creativity and skill of the chefs at Hop Scotch Dinner Club.“
“If you're looking for Fish'N'Chips in Halifax, you'll find the classic at Irish Alehouse. In a rustic atmosphere, air-conditioned, with live music, our evening was a complete success. Plenty of portions, nice and greasy and simply good.“
“Had such a wonderful experience with Grand Finales! The portions were very generous, the bread was fresh, great selection, and incredibly kind and friendly service. They made it so easy for me to change my order on short notice, and delivered it right on time. Can’t recommend them enough and can’t wait to order again!“
“We had the greatest experience, Mike was our waiter & the host was a pleasure! They have a duck scavenger hunt throughout the restaurant that keeps kids busy ! The special was fish & chips with coconut cream pie for dessert which was all fantastic ! ☺️“
