“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!”
“The pizza Lou Fada and Lou Buou were delicious. Our server Solana was lovely, informative and obviously enjoyed serving. It was so nice to see Cedric chat with patrons at the tables and check on his guests. A great dinner. Thank-you.”
“I’ve eaten here twice and both experiences were absolutely incredible. The dishes are so beautifully and thoughtfully composed. Ingredients are second to none. The kitchen’s attention to detail, execution, timing of courses and overall quality is truly impressive and so appreciated. Service has been delightful. Both servers were the same both times and just as kind, welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu, drinks, wine and describe the dishes perfectly every time. Halifax is lucky to have this incredible gem of a restaurant. The Ostrich Club would stand up beside some of the best restaurants in every major Canadian city. It’s a privilege and a pleasure to enjoy a meal here.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“This is a more upscale restaurant and reservations are encouraged. First off the service was impeccable and the ambiance quite nice, including the dishware. As for the food: we were 4 people and 3/4 had amazing meals. They were accommodating of all our dietary restrictions, both celiac and allergies. One of us ordered the steak which came out cold but they immediately replaced it. Even the second time the steak wasn't quite the cuisson ordered but at least it was warm. The appetizers were all fantastic so were the desserts. If it weren't for the one main. This place would have gotten a perfect score. I would give it 4.5 if I could award half points.”

“The super cosy space was very busy when I popped by. They were able to fit me in as a table of one, and I am so glad. The food was scrumptious, really really. And the staff were warm and wonderful.”
“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”

“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!!.”
“Had the most delicious brunch today at Pur n Simple - the service was fast and very friendly. Will definitely be returning very soon!
Dietary restrictions: My two roommates are Celiac and they were very accommodating and cautious about how the food was prepared.”
“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 thoroughly enjoyed the signature lobster dinner as well as the Tuscan Caesar salad and Crispy Maitake mushroom appetizers. Our server Jane was absolutely fantastic! She provided attentive, friendly, and professional service. The ambiance is lovely. This is a great restaurant. Highly recommended!”
“The staff and server were very friendly, and appetizers and desserts are free for orders over $25 at the table. (We chose spring rolls and chocolate ice cream.) The food tasted great, and I will visit again with a friend.”

“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.”
“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 just want to say thank you for being open @ 4am. I was hungry and made the trek from the harbour and was so excited that you were open! People can complain about a lot of things but you were there when I needed you. Again, I appreciate the service and the much needed food, thank you.”
“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.”
“A beautiful atmosphere! Very attentive staff and scrumptious food every time!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ !! 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! 🎉♥️”
“Back for another visit with a friend. Lovely quiet spot that allows for relaxed dining and conversation. I had the Pain Perdu (French Toast)... the best French Toast I have ever had... very decadent with ice cream and whipped cream and maple syrup. I'll be back for more soon!”
“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.”
“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!”
“We treat ourselves 3 or 4 times per year at Amano...always outstanding food & service. Never had just an ok experience....very nice.”

“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”
“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”
“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 ended up here on the hunt for a place to eat, and what an amazing surprise. Everyone in our group of 5 people loved every bite of their meals. Sooo delicious. We will definitely be going back the next time we are in Halifax.”
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!”
“After an uncharacteristically unfortunate dining experience, Peacock was back in its stride as an exceptional dining spot. Our Sober Island oysters were luscious, burrato decadent, the doppio ravioli intensely flavourful and the trout fresh and done perfectly. Our server, Mattie, was also exceptional and well versed on the menu and wine. We left feeling well looked after and savouring still all the flavours of the evening! Thank you, Peacock!”
“As brief visitors to Halifax, we went with recommendations from our conference organizers and boy are we glad that we did. Drift was amazing, from the fantastic and next level servers to the wine, and then finally to the seafood tower. The oysters on half shell, the mussels, the lobster and crab salad, the scallops ceviche and everything else included was just what we were looking for. What a great experience, and one we could not leave Halifax without having. We won't forget this dinner for a long time.”
“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!”

Cheap Eats
“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.”
“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. 👏”
“On a day pouring with rain we all need a hot cup of coffee. This is the place to get it.
This little cafe is cute as a button and as expensive as one too, an easy place to just sit with a good cup of coffee and enjoy the atmosphere. The barista is very friendly and it was a joy to talk to her, I even missed her when it was time to leave. Overall good place to go if you need a quick on the go or done in coffee”
“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.”
“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!!! Freshest oysters I’ve ever had!!! Service was impeccable!! You won’t be disappointed!”
“A large selection of on tap and canned beers to choose from! We tried the Lucky Punk (sour ipa) and the Mango & Dragonfruit (fruited sour) beers. Both were great! I'm not a big fan of IPAs, but this one was interesting since it was a sour! The mango & dragonfruit was a beautiful dark pink color and the taste was smooth and fruity, very delicious!”
“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!”
“Amazing. Delicious. Has the Reuben and it was unbelievable. Juicy but not sopping, rich flavour, perfect. High recommend. Partner’s rigatoni was incredible, too.”
“beautifully cooked steak, delicious cacio e pepe, fantastic service, great atmosphere.”

“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.”
“Top tier food and service. Jonathan and Matt were great!! Love this restaurant ❤️👌🏻”
“We had a great time. There was live music. The staff were amazing. They kept our drinks flowing and the food was great. Perfect atmosphere for an evening out.”
“This is quite simply my favourite restaurant. The service, food quality, and experience is never less than 5 stars.”
“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!”
“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 ;)”
“woke company. if you don't agree with them they will delete your comment.”
“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!”
“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 🤩”
“hands down the best chicken burger in town . will be making bliss a regular place in my travels downtown .awesome food and staff.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Some of the best South Korean food I've had inside or outside South Korea. Cannot recommend enough!!!”
“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!!”
“Fantastic food and even better service. We will definitely be back.”
“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!”
“The lettuce wrap is great whether you get beef or chicken with it and the staff are super friendly.”
“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.”
“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”
“First off i enjoy the beer and that's why I decided to vist the brewery. The tour experience was good and all the staff i met were friendly and helpful. They did give us four samples however you don't have to have any beer if you don't want. I did like the fact that they had a cheaper price for kids or people that don't drink. The last sample on the tour you could also opt for ice tea or lemonade. You can also buy beer on the gift shop. 10/10 i recommend.”
“Great set of pinball machines, great staff and amazing drinks :)”
“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!”
“Great service, food was fantastic it was our first visit but certainily not our last. Lots of options on the menu.”
“Great set of pinball machines, great staff and amazing drinks :)”
“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 ♥️”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”

“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.”
“Great location, nice atmosphere, friendly staff but food was just ok. I wanted to love it because it’s such a cute spot. I even went back two more times, but the food was unfortunately just average each time.”

“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”
“Popped in for a bite to eat after a very long humid day.
Food is always tasty. Drinks always cold.
Highly recommend this location.
Sam and Sophia were amazing in the bar area.”
“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”
“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!”

“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!”
“We had the pleasure to discover Lara Cafe during our vacation in Halifax with our 3 children. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the creamy oat milk lattes and colourful lemonades and we found ourselves retuning to the Cafe every day of our vacation. We had the opportunity to meet Lara, the owner, and it was immediately clear why this Cafe is so tastefully decorated, why the atmosphere is so enjoyable and the menu so very delectable. Thank you for adding much delight and fond memories to our family vacation! We will be sure to return every time we visit the East Coast! Merci beaucoup Lara :)”
“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 !!!”
“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. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️”
“I've been here a few times. Normally satisfied but today a little disappointed.
Today we went for brunch. I ordered the mushroom Benny. Their hollandaise is awesome so I really wish they offered a standard eggs benny because all their Benny options featured very strong and overpowering ingredients, masking the sauce. I found the truffle cream cheese to be overpowering in the mushroom Benny masking all other flavours. Other reviews say the same thing about other Benny dishes.
As other reviews warned, the poached eggs came out hard and dry despite being ordered as soft poached. I chose not to say anything.
No espresso based coffees which would be a nice addition to what is otherwise an upscale brunch menu.
Tater tots are awesome. Service is great. Vibes are nice. Prices are reasonable considering the location.
While I wouldn't recommend any of their eggs benny dishes due to the overpowering ingredients (shame to hide their incredible hollandaise) I will be back again.”
“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!”
“We had a great lunch for Dine Around and are still full hours and hours later.
The flavours were wonderful and the staff were so good! They had a special soup for this month long event that I hope they make permanent!
Dishes: Elote Riblets, Poblano pepper sopa, roasted pork sandwich, churros!
Kid-friendliness: We brought our toddler and the staff were wonderful with him. His curiosity, his food, all around felt great bringing him to
Lunch.”
“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”
“A must try place for varieties of options from Apetizers to entre to main course.
Pricing can be a little better. Service is top notch. The portion is good enough for 1 person only. Not shareable. Must try indian restaurant. Kids friendly item can be an advantage. It lacks items for kids under 5 years of age.
Kid-friendliness: No kids menu or kids friendly items
Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair accessibility”
“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. 👏”
“The food was fantastic and Costas provided great service and enhanced our dining experience!”
