13 Best Wine Bars in Halifax

“Went here with some girlfriends, amazing little spot. Great service, excellent food & wine. Overall we really enjoyed our time. Out server Emma was lovely & super personable & kind. 10/10 recommend this place, so sad they’ve been having a hard time with starfish construction. A really wonderful place in downtown!“

“This was our second time at Bravado, the first being an impulse drop in for a glass of wine as we were walking by sometime last summer. Both experiences we've had were fantastic. Wonderful service, delicious food. The design and small, intimate vibe give the space such a great feel. It was quiet during our first visit and we got chatting with our server about an upcoming vacation. She had actually lived where we were going and took the time to write out multiple pages of recommendations. We pretty much did everything she suggested so she basically curated our whole trip. I only mention it to underscore the next-level service and personal touch. Our recent visit was for Valentine's Day dinner. It was menu fixe and we opted for the raw scallops option. The scallops were served on a creamy bed that was almost like a whipped feta but our server described it as something else (I can't remember what). This dish also included sliced grapes, which was not something I'd have ever expected to be paired with scallops but so, so good. They have a scallop dish on their standard menu that doesn't seem to be quite what we had but I could be wrong. One of the desserts we got was a chocoloate mousse with flaked salt and drizzled with olive oil. Again, totally unexpected with the olive oil but it very much worked. Overall, both our experiences at Bravado were 10/10 and we will absolutely be back.“

“1st time we have been to the Peacock Wine Bar,but it won't be the last. Great wine , food and service. We had the fondue. Been a long time since we had one. Delicious and fun. Great variety of food to dunk. Maddie our server's recommendations for wine were spot on.“

“I would gladly fight a larger-than-average house cat if it came between me and the seared scallops. Five stars for the citrus and butter sauce alone.“

“Best lounge I’ve been in Halifax thus far!“

“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.“

“The cocktails are fabulous and unique and it’s great to watch them prepare the drinks and food with such expertise and finesse“

“My husband and I went to Sapori a couple of weekends ago and had the absolute best time ever. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite of food, and the drinks but this review is about the service. Top notch, can’t be beat. We were treated to a couple of little extras hand delivered by the chef himself. He went out of his way to make sure we were having a great time and enjoying everything. The waitress was also incredible. We felt so spoiled, and we want to let all of our friends know how delicious the authentic Italian food was. We started with the Antipasto Italiano which was incredible, and followed in perfect time with Aranici which was crispy and tasty. For our man course we had Chicken Parmigiana & Fettucceine Lemoine both devine and delicious! Somehow we managed to fit in Tiramisu for dessert which was fantastic! We really enjoyed the Limoncello as well. Incredible food and amazing service. Thank you for a wonderful night. Looking forward to the next!“

“A Hidden Gem!

Reta's is a delightful spot where every dish bursts with flavor and the service is always warm and welcoming. From the first bite to the last, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. It's a quiet, cozy place that lets you truly enjoy your meal and the company you're with. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing dining experience with amazing food!

I wish the plating of the duck dish would be a bit different. We couldn't enjoy the sauce much without ordering the sourdough bread. Also if spoons were provided without asking as the sauces go to waste and we cannot enjoy them with the fork so the amazing sauces are wasted.“

“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!“

“Lunch time for our last meal before heading back to Edmonton. Excellent food! My husband Paul was wowed by his steak sandwich, and I thoroughly enjoyed my calamari and mussels. Great food and fantastic service.“

“Great place for a drink. Martinis are amazing.“

“great spot for cocktails.“
