50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Halifax

“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!“

“EDNA is fantastic! Absolutely delicious food - both the brunch and dinner menu - with friendly, helpful and attentive staff, despite the incredibly busy numbers. Cocktails are amazing, with unique, refined flavours. You will not be disappointed! It can get noisy, due to the folks who flock there for Sunday brunch, so a little extra sound-proofing might be nice, but it's great to see this a gem of a restaurant receive such a vibrant clientele!“

“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“

“Amazing spot for drinks and food!!“

“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 😊“

“There truly isn't another restaurant in the city with a vibe like this. The Ostrich Club feels like something you'd stumble into in New York—effortlessly cool, intimate, and thoughtfully curated in every way. From the moment you sit down, the service is exceptional: attentive, warm, and never rushed. You're encouraged to settle in and enjoy the experience. The food is consistently phenomenal—creative, interesting, and perfectly suited to the tapas-style, small-plate format that makes it ideal for sharing. It's equally perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. Every dish feels intentional and exciting! The wine list deserves special recognition: incredibly well curated, with lots of local and lesser-known bottles that even longtime locals might not have tried elsewhere. On top of that, the themed cocktail menus are always a standout—so creative, balanced, and fun. Huge shout-out to Lindsey, the mixologist behind them, whose vision and execution elevate the entire experience every time. Despite being a small space, it never feels too loud... The energy is amazing, the music is always on point, and the atmosphere feels alive. No detail is missed at this gem... from the music, to the pacing, to the care put into every element. It's hands down one of the best spots in the city and a perfect choice for a memorable night out!!“

“Love the Stubborn Goat. Have been there for drinks and on our recent trip to Halifax, we ate there as well. Great food, drinks, people and atmosphere. Will definitely make it a “go to” when we are in Halifax. Maggie our bartender was amazing!“

“Really enjoyed our dinner and service here. Cozy, fun ambiance, friendly and knowledgeable server, creative and delicious drinks and an excellent round of plates. The design, lighting and music created a great atmosphere. The room wasn’t over crowded or loud. It was just perfect. Best tuna tartare I’ve ever put in my mouth.
Kudos“

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

“Our server was very helpful with directions about Halifax. She was not put out at all and seemed genuinely kind. She was prompt and attentive. The chicken wings were tasty, the margarita was far to sour, in my oppion. Very much an irish pub menu.“

“Jason was a great server and his recommendations were perfect.“

“Your food always looks so colourful and exciting!! I know 100% it is super tasty too. Your love for community and fellow man is admirable.“

“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.“

“The other people on here are right about the Tonkotsu Ramen. This probably exceeds most ramen-only shops. I don't usually drink the soup but I find myself almost polishing it off. It's light but filled with umami flavor and the grilled pork is amazing too. They didn't take any shortcuts with the onsen egg too, it has the shoyu flavor it's supposed to and just slightly underdone. The atmosphere is chill and homely and service is quick. You can leave in 15-20 minutes or stay for however long. Definitely coming back and trying other stuff on the menu!“

“Just had an early dinner with a friend here, and it was AMAZING! My first time eating fresh sushi in a restaurant (only previous experience was eating California rolls from a supermarket), and it was a thoroughly pleasurable meal. Fast/friendly service, delicious food…they even included an extra platter of sushi on the house! Highly recommend!!“

“Good price and good tastes. I liked all dishes that I choosed. Staff are very kind and nice.“

“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...“

“woke company. if you don't agree with them they will delete your comment.“

“Sooo happy I discovered this place today! Excellent customer service! Will be back 🤗“

“They host a lot for CycleHalifax. Great beer selection.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and I would say the best Thai food in Halifax. Very authentic and rich flavours.“

“Awesome, friendly service and amazing food every time. Uber messed up an order and Talay went over & above to make it right. When we're craving Thai food, it's our first and only call!“

“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. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️“

“Excellent meal with friends. The food was amazing and generous proportions. I was super hungry so no take-home food for me, but both my companions had lunch for the next day. It was busy, but we had good service. I love restaurants with decor and atmosphere to make it more of an experience, that’s the only area I don’t give a 5-star rating.“

“Meilleur steak et service en ville, je vous le conseille fortement 😍“

“My husband and I were visiting from Ontario and wanted to try this place out, the food was amazing! Our server was also so friendly and service was prompt. I am allergic to gluten and there was lots on the menu that worked with my dietary restrictions.“

“What a customer service I had it was so welcoming. Amazing mouthwatering pizza. My favorite destination when exhausted with work. Nova scotians do your self a favor and support this Small business I bet you won't regret.“

“Very good bowl of ramen. Had the Dan Dan, which was advertised as spicy and numbing from Sichuan pepper but was very mild. Barely any heat or Sichuan peppercorn numbness, but it was still a very flavourful and plentiful bowl of noodles. Excellent pickles, and good bite on the noodles.“

“This was one of the tastiest sandwiches I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

The staff accommodated my request to serve half a meatball hero and box the second serving.

Half of the sandwich was more than enough for a quick lunch.

The service is great, the restaurant is interesting, and the food is awesome.“

“Amazing live music atmosphere!“

“This food is amazing. The service is friendly and helpful. They serve you enough food. Shrink-flation doesn't seem to have diminished their portions. I just ate nachos and they were saturated with fresh vegetables. I feel nourished. 10/10 folks.“

“Lovely meal and very quick service even on a Holliday. Always a good experience“

“Finally tried here on an overcast Saturday in January 2026 (had been to the Quinpool location a few times years ago, never the Hydrostone location, and kept forgetting about their latest move to the old enVie location on Agricola). Arrived maybe about 11:30 and was the only customer at that point. Greeted immediately by staff and told I could sit wherever, so took a table in the small lower section when you first walk in. Cute, little casual spot. Seating total capacity I would guess could be for 25-30, including other dining section, up a few steps, lots of natural light coming in. I had looked at the online menu and seen a few great-looking brunch options. When I got there, there were no brunch items on the hard copy menu, but the staff said he could custom make anything I wanted, so suggested the Bean Burrito with a scrambled egg added. That sounded good to me, and it was! The plate arrived with a side salad, serving of Sriracha, corn chips, scoop of flavored rice with salsa on top, with a hot grilled delicious burrito that had lots of visible spinach. I was very full at the end. Got to chatting with the staff over the course of the meal, when two other customers arrived. Very friendly owner, it turns out. I definitely will be back to try a lot more of their menu! (FYI vegetarian restaurant with vegan options).“

“The 5 Fishermen restaurant was amazing! The food, the atmosphere and the staff were all great. The manager even went to every table to check on the customers…to me, that is over and above service. We had the prime rib that was melt in your mouth fantastic. I know it will definitely be on our list of places to eat when we return to Halifax.“

“Great Donairs!! Very filling! 😊“

“One of the best ramen I've had.“

“The flavour, the atmosphere, everything was 10/10. Amazing. My husband and I plan to visit every time we travel to Halifax. Thanks to Richard for treating us to an outstanding meal!!“

“We came to Montana’s for lunch last week and had such a great experience thanks to Kayla and Darcy! From the moment we sat down, they were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They checked in at just the right times, made sure our drinks were always topped up, and were quick with anything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. You can tell they really care about giving good service — they were upbeat, professional, and made the whole lunch feel relaxed and enjoyable.
It’s always nice when good food is paired with even better service. Kayla and Darcy definitely made our visit extra pleasant. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“Great spot to try out bouldering. Have been there a few times with my teen and pre-teen. Facility is awesome, staff are very helpful and patient.“

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

“Excellent homemade food! Filled our bellies with healthy homemade breakfast! Staff made us feel so welcome and have huge warm hearts. Left feeling full in our hearts….. excellent way to start our day!“

“Our server was great! Carly was friendly, she had a warm smile for us and very patient with some of our group coming in late.
She kept the drinks flowing and checked in often. I wish all servers could be her!!
Thanks Carly for the great service. We will look for you next time!! 💕“

“Easily one of my favorite pizzerias in Halifax, with a long established history as well. The specialty Euro pizzas are excellent, but I still often order the thicker crust traditional offerings. The crust is excellent and not greasy. The owner is fantastic and definitely cares about his customers and his pizzeria's reputation.“

“Great spot to try out bouldering. Have been there a few times with my teen and pre-teen. Facility is awesome, staff are very helpful and patient.“

“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“

“great meal and great service today. My son had a yummy grilled cheese“

“Food was great as usual. Service was excellent. Our server, Jenna, was so pleasant, knowledgable and attentive. The food came out quickly, even quicker than a Tim Horton's drive-thru or in-house at any "fast food" restaurant. Very impressed.“

“My wife and I have gone to Canton Gardens for almost 30 years. The food is excellent and they use quality ingredients in all their dishes. Their stir fried dishes are made only with fresh vegetables such as broccoli, zucchini, carrots, snow peas, and onions. None of the vegetables are frozen. My wife and I both love their kung po chicken, chicken with black bean sauce, and curry chicken. They also make delicious spring rolls. The restaurant is highly recommended.“

“Beautiful spot to eat, the hand painted walls were beautiful. The food sizes were plentiful, and everything tasted so so good! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful <3 I recommend to anyone and everyone! I got the all you can eat pork. The meat was delicious and cooked in front of you, and the sides were free with the all you can eat and SO SO GOOD“
