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!“

“The food was outstanding. I focused on local items where possible. Oysters, that I eat with no trimmings, were fresh and tasty and perfect with Lightfoot and Wolfville sparkling rose.
Staff were efficient and friendly, most importantly, non-intrusive; reading the customer (me) perfectly. A great place to eat. Would thoroughly recommend whether you are local or a visitor. Well done you!“

“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“

“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 😊“

“Amazing spot for drinks and food!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“This place was fantastic! We had seen lots of recommendations for it online, and decided to try it out during our two days in Halifax. We were lucky to get a reservation; make sure to book early, they were packed by 5:30pm and stayed packed the entire evening.

Food and service were both wonderful. We knew we wanted to try the raw scallop and the ahi tuna tartar, and our server was able to recommend cocktails to pair with our food. We also tried the incredible perch they had at the time. For an upscale restaurant, the portions were more than fair. The scallop was more of an appetizier, but the tartar and perch were both full meals in and of themselves. Everything was well cooked, the atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming.

Definitely a great time and worth booking a 5pm dinner reservation just to get a taste!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolutely Unforgettable Dining Experience!

If you haven't been to the Ostrich Club yet, stop what you're doing and make a reservation right now. This place is a gem, and our visit was nothing short of extraordinary from start to finish.

We were lucky enough to be served by Alana Steele- who we later discovered is the owner herself. That says everything about the warmth and hands-on hospitality this place radiates. Alana was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about every dish she described. You could feel the love she has for this restaurant in every interaction.

Now, the food. Where do I even begin? The shrimp dumplings were delicate, perfectly steamed, and packed with flavour — an ideal way to set the tone for the evening. The maitake mushrooms were earthy and beautifully prepared, the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate it. The chicken was succulent and expertly seasoned, and the tuna was fresh, elegant, and absolutely stunning — the highlight of our savoury courses.

The cocktail program deserves its own standing ovation. Innovative doesn't even cover it — each drink was a conversation piece, creative without being gimmicky, and perfectly complementary to the food. The whole cocktail menu was themed to the TV show the ‘The Office’ and was whimsical and fun. Really loved that Sherry was prominently featured in the recipes.

And then came dessert. The donuts and the Banana chocolate was without exaggeration, one of the best things I have ever put in my mouth. Warm, indulgent, and finished with such care — the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Super stoked to see an interesting Whisky collection as well and was fortunate to have a Weller Full Proof dram with dessert.

The Ostrich Club is the kind of place that reminds you why dining out is one of life's great pleasures. We will absolutely be back, and we'll be bringing everyone we know.“

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

“all the foods here is great“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Locally sourced produce with an organic flair, food was solid.
We had the bruschetta to start and the salmon for main. Finished the meal with the apple tart.
The salmon was the highlight of the meal. The tart was undercooked and chewy not light and crispy.“

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

“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...“

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

“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!“

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

“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. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️“

“Mixed feelings about this spot! 🍜 While the manager was super attentive to my celiac needs, ensuring a safe, gluten-free meal, the overall service fell a bit short. Waited a while for my ramen setup after my food was brought out. Delicious food though, and no celiac reaction to the food, I'd feel safe eating here again.“

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

“The weather was finally nice, I was on my lunch break and was really craving mango juice. Cha Baa Thai hit the spot. The juice was deliciously sweet, the stir fried ribs were juicy & tender, and then you can never go wrong with a couple veg spring rolls. It’s not pictured here, but we also tried the masaman curry — highly recommend! A nice lunch spot if you’re around citadel and want something quick but delicious to eat.“

“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.“

“If you want delicious wood-fired pizza for a good price look no further than Salvatore’s. I split two small pizzas and paid for a whole bottle of wine for 76$, taxes and tip included. The pizzas themselves were scrumptious and the half-and-half option lets you try two different pizzas for the price of one.“

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

“Stopped in last Saturday afternoon after wandering the waterfront, and Heartwood immediately won me over with the warmest, most welcoming vibe I'd encountered all trip. I ordered the mushroom toast and it was genuinely one of the best things I ate during my whole time in Halifax, simple but perfectly done. The staff were so friendly and patient while I figured out what I wanted, clearly regulars love this spot too because there was a real community feel to the room. If you're visiting from out of province like I was, do not skip this place - it's the kind of cafe that makes you wish you lived nearby.“

“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.“

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

“My son and I attended the John Prine Tribute Show Saturday night; the talent was spectacular and the food was delicious. Unfortunately, during the music break, I became ill very suddenly (non alcohol related), and got sick as I tried to reach the washroom. I was so embarassed and upset, but a lovely customer and the owner were incredible. Emma and Karen made sure I was well taken care of, cleaning me up, calming me down, rubbing my back, getting me water and wet/dry cloths. I can't thank you both enough! Karen, I will definitely be back for another show; you were so kind. Emma - if you see this - your students are very lucky to have you in their corner. You both rock!! Tracy“

“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.“

“I can’t recall the last time a customer service experience impressed me. The manager and the staff today were outstanding. It was a first for my 8 year old and he enjoyed himself immensely and asked when we can go again. Thank you! Well done team Dartmouth for making everyone feel included and comfortable.“

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

“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.“

“Euro pizza is our go too take out restaurant, this evening we had large donair and a cheese pizza and although we have had donair before this evening they were exceptionally good, lots of meat and delicious sauce and toppings and my grandson said the cheese pizza was the best he has ever had. Pleas keep up the great work“

“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.“

“We celebrated a birthday at Montana’s and had a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect for our celebration. James was an amazing server & helped make the occasion special and ensured everything went smoothly. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend Montana’s for birthdays and family gatherings! 🎉🎂🍽️“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food and service!!! Highly recommended!!! Burgers are delicious!!!“

“Super Fresh food , Great Customer service“

“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.“

“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“

“always friendly always good food“

“Best, most authentic tacos I’ve had outside of Mexico. Perfecto!“
