Heartwood, a beloved restaurant in Halifax, had to close its doors due to COVID lockdowns after serving loyal customers for many years. However, Heartwood Hut on Water Street remains open for takeout. This heartwarming place is known for its delicious vegetarian options, with dishes like the veggie curry burger, Traditional Heartwood Bowl with sweet & Spicy Tomato Sauce, and Greek salad receiving high praise. Customers appreciate the gluten-free choices and the chill atmosphere. The food continues to be praised for being delicious, healthy, and plentiful, with favorites like Green Poutine. Service remains friendly and attentive, making guests feel welcome even late in the evening. The restaurant also offers vegan and gluten-free options, appealing to a variety of dietary needs. Although the patio is under construction, the new location is nice and the overall experience remains highly enjoyable and worth visiting repeatedly. Many recommend the cookies and smoothies as great snack options, and the kids' quesadilla is noted to be an adult size with veggies.
