“Around 6:20am today, no wait and was served on the counter by a very nice woman who served not only a coffee, but got me to smile :)

Thank you :)”

“Holy smokes. Where do I start? Thanks to the entire Canteen family - and I say FAMILY purposefully as you feel the family atmosphere as soon as you arrive - for hosting our team for dinner last week. We booked out the whole restaurant and they did just what we hoped for: Maritime hospitality, wonderful, genuine service and knock-your-socks off food. The team from across Canada went bananas over the Crobster sandwich. The special welcome from the owners was a lovely touch. The guests raved all the way back across the harbour on the ferry about the wonderful meal from start to finish. It’s a lovely space that is not pretentious and puts an emphasis on fantastic food and exemplary service, with a genuine smile. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”

“If I could give a restaurant a rating of 10/5 stars, Mappatura in Halifax would get them all.

Half way between The Lord Nelson Hotel and Dalhousie University, I've walked by it a few times this week and it smelled amazing. Tonight I stopped. I am sooooo happy I did.

The vibe of this neighborhood Italian restaurant just makes you want to hang out there forever. It looks like a cafe Bistro but the service, and menu are upscale all the way.

I had warm olives with citrus zest and chilis... I'll never eat them any way again.

Thick cut fresh pasta tortelloni stuffed with goat cheese and mushrooms in a vermouth thyme sauce with balsamic? Orgasmic!

Yes it rhymes but when it comes to food? True.

It's not the waterfront, it's not lobster or chowder but if you're in Halifax, you need to try this place!

If I lived here, I'd be there every week.

Tomorrow I think I need to try the mussels. And maybe the spaghetti. Tiramisu?

I need to eat all the food. And the service? Top notch from start to finish. Olives to espresso.

10/5 stars, highly recommended.

“Hands down, the best meal we have ever had!! We were so blown away by every aspect of our experience, from the food to the service. Thank you for making our night!”

“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!”

“Yesterday we had the privilege of eating at The Narrows Halofax, Nova Scotia's #1 Public House and number #12 in Canada. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere and personable host made us feel like we were home! All of the waitresses were incredible and ours went over and above to make us happy and we truly had the best time. The food was to die for, they have a fantastic menu with a bit of everything on it. 100% highly recommend we will be back 🥰”

“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!”

Looking forward to our next meal there!”

“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!!.”
