“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!”
“me and my brother have been coming to the narrows since they opened once a week great food, amazing staff awesome place to sit and chat and enjoy your night out.... thank you Narrows.... everyone should experience this atmosphere”
“We had gone out with friends for a lunch and tried all the different menu items. 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!”
“We had an awesome lip smacking dinner today. Authentic desi Chinese main course and great tandoori for appetizers. The masala fries was a sweet surprise which is a first time for us in halifax restaurant menu. Hope you keep serving great food like this thanks”

“Food and cocktail are just next level. You won't be getting the same old thing here. Menu and drinks change monthly and there is an excellent selection of non-alcoholic cocktails”
“Some of the better food I have had in Halifax.!I was with someone whi has travelled the whole world and she thought it was outstanding. Top notch service, highly adaptable and friendly but professional. The halibut cheeks are extraordinary. Not all fine food is found in the boardwalk. I would say that i prefer this over some of the higher priced restaurants. Anthony Bourdain would have gushed over thus place I think.”

“So good! I had the (already) gluten free crepe and fruits And the keto breakfast 10/10
The crepe was huge and full of fruit.
Blueberries, strawberries, bananas, pineapples, grapes, kiwis!!! Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal.
Cindy was an awesome server :)
Pricey but I definitely feel like we got our money’s worth! If I lived in the area I’d be a regular.
Potatoes are made in a shared fryer so I didn’t get to try those.”

“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!!.”
“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. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️”
“We came to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and man oh man, was it ever amazing. From the service to the food, everything was incredible. Thoughtful combinations of flavours (raspberry and oysters!? Who knew) and the staff really went out of their way to make us feel special. Laura, you are a GEM, I wish we could've stayed all night. Thanks sooooo much for everything”
“just had the most amazing dinner we've had in a long time. from start to finish service, presentation everything was on point. highly recommend!! 💯 percent Scrumdiddlyumptious”

“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!!”
“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.”
“Clean restaurant, good food, and fast service. But today when I was over for dinner there was someone yelling at the polite kid who took my order while he was packing orders in the back, it sounded very uncomfortable. Had to cheer the poor little guy up when he handed my food over to me cause he looked sad. The staff should learn to be more kinder and cordial to each other.”
“I can't handle the big meals like a big mac. I get the happymeals because it's just enough food for me. They offer grinch ornaments in them. I give them to my grandson as he loves them. My fave is the chicken wrap. It's vg
Dietary restrictions: I've had part of my colon removed so I can't handle the regular size meals anymore
Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking & handicap friendly entrance”
“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.”
“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.”
“Updated review 5/5 stars: thus location has really gotten it's act together. There was a management change some time ago and I've not had any issues since. Props to this location for turning it around
Old review 1/5 stars: Recently has changed to a very rude staff. Wife and I avoid this place at all opportunity”
“I go to the Mumford McDonald’s multiple times a week. The staff - particularly the drive thru girls, are amazing, personable and patient. Treat your people with respect and they return it. They know my order and my dog loves them. McDonald’s food is McDonald’s food, but the people make it.”
“Since they are fixing the building or something. It took me a while to find it. They had the Scaffolding all along the sidewalk. But I eventually found it when I went across the street. They are amazing workers they are fast, and quick. There were so many customers with students, workers were busy. I got my food right away. They need to make that place bigger. I don't like to be in crowded places, but I was hungry. Lol”
“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.”
“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 😊”
“Bar Kismet is a beautiful hidden gem. This place knows how to highlight fresh seafoods in their raw tapas without overpowering their delicate natural flavors, and their house cocktails all have a maritime flavor profile that pairs well with seafood regardless of your choice. The atmosphere is charming as they repurposed the old architecture really well, and it is a perfect date night spot. We will definitely come back to this place in the future!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ !! 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! 🎉♥️”
“RFM is fabulous! I absolutely love the vegan eggs benny breakfast.😋 The burgers are delicious too. in fact, everything is delicious. The mac n cheese, butter ckn, the cookies, the deserts, the cheeses and dips... all awesome. One of my fave places in Halifax. Right at the top of the list. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!”
“Food was delicious but what really made this place special was our server, Maggie!
She made the place feel very homey and was an amazing server:) thanks for having us!”
“Two appetizers were amazing and the brown rice risotto delicious. Overall atmosphere is nice but if you’re looking for a place for conversation it’s an open space and a little noisy.”

“I've been loving cafe taiakiy since they first opened and I'm overjoyed there still thriving. and absolutely delicious and unique treat in downtown halifax and in i will always reccomend them to anyone looking for a nice expirence and sit down. extra points of course for dietary options for both vegan and gluten free batter, keep on rocking yall!!”
“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.”
“Old friend brought me here for a quick to-go lunch while I was visiting and I had to come back for lunch the next day. Their special spicy chicken sandwich was phenomenal, staff were very friendly and their seating area on the side was casual with a diner type of aesthetic that left us happy and full. I will dream of their Mac and cheese until I’m back in NS”
“We came from Montreal and saw how amazing everyone was talking about the food. Well my family and myself of five enjoyed everything we gave it 9/10 the Alfredo jerk chicken was delicious. I will definitely be coming back no regrets”
“The best restaurant we ate at in Halifax. Such a cute English style pub, great beers on tap and great pub food- Get the sticky toffee pudding, I promise it is unreal!!”

Fine Dining
“I personally am not one for expanding my cuisine, so it was my first time having authentic Mediterranean. The meal was pretty good but was a little bland. However, I was generally pleased with my chicken shawarma and halloumi fries! I would recommend if you're looking for Mediterranean cuisine!”
“Food was pretty good for the most part. We particularly enjoyed the brown bread and pork belly and scallops. The hodge-podge was decent, though I thought the fish cake was underwhelming and the included brown bread didn’t match too well with the dill cream sauce. Note that the hodge podge is also quite rich and heavy due to the cream based sauce.
Service was pretty good except it took much longer than expected to get the bill. Once the patio space filled up, I think the lone server could’ve used some back up (maybe another team member to help).
The space is beautiful regardless if you sit inside or outside, no complaints there.”
“If you would like an amazing culinary experience then you should definitely try the Barrington Steakhouse! From the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty. 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!”

“The dragon potato was the bomb! This is the best vegan restaurant I've tried in Canada. That was the star 5/5. Burger was 4/5. Wild bowl 4/5. Felafel 4/5. Rigatone 3/5”
Cheap Eats
“Johnny’s Snack Bar is right at the top of my list of favourite places to eat in Halifax. It’s a true North End gem that’s been family run for over 40 years ! You can feel the love in every part of it. The food is consistently perfection, no matter what you order. From old school flat top burgers and breakfasts to daily specials, pork chops, fried chicken, and their incredible pan-fried haddock, everything is done right, every time.
The atmosphere is classic old school diner feel & always busy. Chris and Tasso, along with their sweet and hardworking parents, make you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The service is genuine, the portions are generous, and the prices are more than fair.
Although street parking for Johnny’s has been terribly affected by City installing of bike lanes, you can find parking at the forum.
This place has it all, comfort, value, flavour, and heart. If you haven’t been, go. You’ll understand why it’s such a beloved local spot.”
“What a wonderful place! The staff were all so sweet, one of them explaining all the specials and the ordering process to me, checked in just frequently enough, and the food was absolutely fantastic! I didn't realise how much I'd missed miso soup until I had it here. The prices are very reasonable, too! Great value for an excellent experience!”
“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. 👏”
“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.”
“4 out of 5, would of been 5, however, the wonton soup recipe changed a few months ago, it is now a lot sweeter. Not a huge fan of this change, much preferred the savoury broth with loads of vegetables. Service and atmosphere are impeccable.”
“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!”
“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”
“Visiting on a cruise ship…visited Garrison after our excursion at the advice of our guide. Excellent beer and very friendly and helpful staff. The wheat peach, tall sail and Deja Moo were all excellent.”
“Amazing food!!! Freshest oysters I’ve ever had!!! Service was impeccable!! You won’t be disappointed!”
“After 7 days of poutines, French-Quebec cuisine, and cruise food, the spicy Korean food was a welcome change of scenery. Halifax is a beautiful city and Gangnam BBQ is an asset to the local foodie scene. The entire staff was friendly and the service was awesome!”
“We visited Au Liban for a friends 40th bday. The service, atmosphere and food was beyond words. We cannot wait to go back and taste the more off this incredible menu. Thank you for the amazing evening!”
“Enjoyable tour! Lots of history and great sense of pride demonstrated. All staff were engaging and hospitable. We enjoyed the entertainment portions of the tour.
Our 7yo son was not as engaged until the section with the games. He enjoyed his many samples of lemonade though!”
“hands down the best chicken burger in town . will be making bliss a regular place in my travels downtown .awesome food and staff.”

“Exceptional! Pizza is perfectly cooked, Caesar salad had perfect amount of dressing, while being light and not filling before the meal. Fantastic meal, and looking forward to going back to try different pizzas.”
“beautifully cooked steak, delicious cacio e pepe, fantastic service, great atmosphere.”
“Top tier food and service. Jonathan and Matt were great!! Love this restaurant ❤️👌🏻”
“Sitting 🪑 at the bar with Donnie serving us was a great experience. Great recommendation of the seafood chowder sir! We will be back before heading home at the end of the week”
“We live local - there's a few succulent sushi places around but once we found this one - its answered all the needs. Veg tempura, spicy crab salad, and sushi salmon pizza are the go tos...but we've liked it all. Folks making it all happen are wonderful too!”
“The service was terrific until near the end of our visit when we had to wait 20 minutes for a sushi roll after ordering it through their tablet. We also had to wait a while to get a server's attention for our bill. Overall, it was a great experience, and we loved the all-you-can-eat option.”
“Fantastic place that has become my go-to for a fresh pint and bar food downtown.
Josh (and others) behind the bar always provide fantastic service with personality and menu knowledge.
The atmosphere and music are also always on-point.
Check it out!”
“This is quite simply my favourite restaurant. The service, food quality, and experience is never less than 5 stars.”
“My friend's and I recently had lunch at La Piazza. The food was absolutely delicious, the service exemplary and the atmosphere is very cozy. The cheesecake is delicious but a tad over priced, as were all the deserts, in my opinion. All in all, a very nice experience and we will definitely be going back for our monthly Ladies Lunch.”
“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 ;)”
“What a wonderful comfortable atmosphere! We loved going to check out all the amazing beers & seltzers they are canning IN HOUSE! We love local craft beer!”
“Went to this restaurant a few weeks ago. The Pho spring rolls and rice wrap was incredible! First time ever trying pho. I can’t stop thinking about it and can’t wait to go back. I think it’s my new fav place in the city. The staff were so kind, sweet and very attentive too. The restaurant is lovely. 5 stars for me 🤩”
“Nolan and Rob are both extremely personable and talented bartenders. Always have amazing cocktail recommendations and the seasonal food and cocktail menus are always high quality and tasty.”
“Great wine bar and restaurant recommended to us by curated food tours, I had the gnocchi which were absolutely spot on, it's one of my favourite childhood dishes, there is an excellent choice of wine by the glass we had the white Rioja.
It would have been 5 starts as the services as very good, the noise level was fine initially however the music was turned up twice, restaurants and bars are social places were people come to talk, music is fine it's just the level. I would go back”
“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...”
“Great service and lots of delicious and creative sauces to choose from!”
“I ordered Moussaka, with Greek roasted potatoes and a salad. My Mom had two types of souvlaki, with potatoes, rice, and salad. Compliments to the chef- EVERYTHING WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! We ordered fresh Rice Pudding for dessert which was the best!! Hats off to “Jimmy” for making our night special and our server “Dimitri” (I believe that was his name), who made our experience great!! I would recommend this dining establishment 100% ! I can’t wait to come back to the city because this place is now definitely in my rotation in my Halifax restaurants!!”
“seeing mice run at our feet and waitress agreeing and explains the have exterminator in every night, very upset after spending 500+$ in 3 visits while living at iwk prior tow Stewart and friends”

“Cass was amazing! Super friendly and gave us great service. She was especially sweet with my kids and really made the whole experience better. My 5-year-old even hugged her twice 🤣
Thank you, Cass!”
“Some of the best South Korean food I've had inside or outside South Korea. Cannot recommend enough!!!”
“Absolutly the best all you can eat sushi in hrm. The nigiri is exceptional. All the rolls are perfectly balanced and tasty. The tonkatsu is crisp and juicy. Very welcoming staff with exceptional service.”
“Great set of pinball machines, great staff and amazing drinks :)”
“Absolutely amazing Italian food, a beautiful restaurant and delightful service!! I couldn't recommend it more highly!”
“The cocktails are fabulous and unique and it’s great to watch them prepare the drinks and food with such expertise and finesse”
“11/10. Absolutely phenomenal experience. They are SO patient and SO experienced. Nothing is out of the question as they can make anything possible. Your booking includes set-up and tear down by the staff, HUGE win. The staff were all so lovely and helpful. And obviously the space is GORGEOUS; very little decorations are even needed in the romantic moody room. We did our ceremony on the roof and it was SO special. Food incredible. We did a standing cocktail dinner and we had more than enough and continue to received compliments over the menu. This is SUCH an awesome spot!”
“No hostess at the front to greet people walking in, waited 10 minutes and still nothing, server walked by us looking clueless and did not bother to help, called the restaurant from inside the restaurant, still no answer, then finally 2 hostesses came at once and we were finally seated at our table. Very poor start to dinner but the rest was flawless: food, service, atmosphere and value. We almost left, but glad we didn't. Way to recover, that was a close one!”
“Me and my boyfriend visited here on June 2nd 2025,as we don’t get to get out much and it was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming and it was very quiet when we were there it wasn’t busy at all which was very nice. Our server was amazing she made sure we had everything we needed and was super nice with our suggestions and questions about the food and drinks. I’m not really a person who likes to sit down places and eat but this place was very nice and we will for sure be attending again. I got the breakfast skillet and my boyfriend got the chicken club wrap with poutine. It tastes great 5/5”
“Thanks to whoever recommended them. Their gluten-free egg Benedicts are delicious. The staff is knowledgeable about Celiac, making it a great overall experience. Kudos to Miel et Beurre Breakfast Cafe. Miel et Beurre Breakfast Cafe thank you so much ♥️”
“Great service, food was fantastic it was our first visit but certainily not our last. Lots of options on the menu.”
“We stopped in at The Wooden Monkey while travelling from Calgary & Vancouver last weekend and had an incredible experience. Even without a reservation, we were seated right away and warmly welcomed.
The whole team was great, but Hannah truly stood out—friendly, funny, knowledgeable and so genuine. She brought the whole farm-to-table concept to life with such passion.
The food was outstanding so flavourful and thoughtfully crafted—especially the kale Caesar, lamb ravioli, and seafood pasta. As Italians we were surprised by their take on bruschetta but it was a delicious and creative rendition on their house made focaccia. If only we lived closer so we could come back regularly. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent food, service, wine, and ambience. Staff paid close attention to my food allergy to ensure I had a safe and enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommend!”
“Great set of pinball machines, great staff and amazing drinks :)”
“We had absolutely fantastic service tonight from Adam T. He was friendly with a great sense of humour and very much on the ball. The best server we've had in a very long time! Thanks Adam! The food was also fantastic!”
“I consider this to be the best Swiss Chalet in HRM. Great consistency and quality. Marci was our fantastic waitress. She was engaging, polite and efficient. Thank you for being yourself Marci.”
“Summer vibes at its best! Good choice of lightweight beers, ok-ish food though nothing fancy, of course. People are super nice and chill. Perfect for hanging out with friends.”
“This is the spot! Food is incredible, guacamole is fresh, burritos are hot, and the margaritas hit. So glad to have this gem in our neighbourhood. Get out of downtown and check this place out.”
“Friendly staff (with great memory;).
Excellent weekend brunch menu.
Spacious; I never waited for seating.
The Eggs Benedict with the Citrus Salad is the best I have ever eaten.
I have tried, in the past, to pick a different brunch menu offer, but I always come back to this choice, although the Sunshine Salad is also great! (Nice to have a 5-star backup choice ;)”
“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”
“I always enjoy ordering the lamb vindaloo with naan from this restaurant — it's full of flavor and made just the way I like it, especially since I don't eat butter. They always accommodate my preferences perfectly. The staff are genuinely friendly, especially Jayshree and Kritee who made me feel welcome. Great atmosphere and consistently delicious food. Highly recommend!”
“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've heard several times about how good the Seoul Chicken is so I decided to try it today and it was superb! Not too sweet and not too spicy and the texture was terrific. I brought it back to my office and let a co-worker try it and she immediately changed her lunch plans and headed to Scotia Square to get some herself.”

“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”
“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.”
“Before I go to work , I stop in at Tim Hortons at Mumford Road. One employee stands out for me, a gentleman , who I believe his name is Sahil. He goes out of his way every night , to make sure my order is right. One night stands out for me, I was late getting there, and the doors were locked. This exceptional employee ran to the door, and passed me my regular order. He is exceptional, and I think everyone should know about his above normal customer service!! He works the evening shift. I hope I spelled his name correct!! Thank you !!!”
“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!!!”
“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”

“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. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️”
“Came here for the lobster eggs Benedict and it did not disappoint! Tons of tender lobster and tasty $3.50 mimosas to go with. On top of this the service was phenomenal and our waiter even gave us some tips on local shops, markets and fun things to do. Don't miss out on this place!”
“Ok, I know, picking the “best” donair in Halifax is tantamount to declaring war, but Tony’s was fantastic. The sauce, the meat, the value, man, this was an incredible donair. I’d hold it up as the benchmark, which allows for other suggestions, but establishes Tony’S as the one to beat!”
“I came with my family for brunch. The place is beautiful, the service was ok, and the food was nice.
The four breakfasts were delicious.
I have only two complaints, first I asked for a Mimosa and the amount of prosecco is very small, I corroborated it when I saw how it was prepared for another table. Second, the waiter tried a few times to avoid our table.
I am not a brunch person, but the experience was nice.”
“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!!

“If you love, like or want a margarita get your bottom over here! Bar sofia has one of the best margaritas Halifax has to offer, they nailed the spicy to fun ratio. Absolutely delicious!
The restaurant pays homage to different latin cultures beautifully with their fusion of foods such as the bravas Brussel sprouts. We had a hard time deciding what to order as everything sounded spectacular! We only tried appies for food, they were yummy, however the toppings for most the appies we got are around the same.
The atmosphere is fun and colourful, right at the heart of the new waterfront.
This restaurant is in the waterfront so there is parking nearby in the big lots. You might just have to walk a little bit. Plenty of sitting inside and in their patio!”
“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 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 ALWAYS love the Bicycle Thief. Thank you to EVERYONE, Maître’Ds, servers, and super kudos to the chef(s). You made our celebratory dinner extra special!!! ❤”
