“Went through drive through today around 3:10pm (Thursday). The staff there at the time were excellent! I was super clumsy and spilled my ice cap(s) tray of 3 all over my seat and the worker said, oh be careful, but I wasn’t lol. Just the way they helped out by offering to make another one was very kind and they made it super quick. Thanks for being thoughtful and kind in the drive through. Excellent customer service - keep being you:)”

“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.”

“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 Love Mappatura. I’ve been dining here for years and I’m always telling people they need to as well. The calamari is amazing, as is the Lemon Tart. I tried the Chicken Piccata for the first time the last visit and I have to say, it’s probably the best chicken I’ve ever tasted. I literally couldn’t shut up about it for an hour afterwards. Great wine selection and wonderful owners and staff make any visit to Mappatura an absolute pleasure. ♥”

“YiLan has amazing staff and wonderful food. Our server went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed. It had a very cozy family-run atmosphere and it's clear to see the love that goes into their food. Highly highly recommend!”

“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!”

“Excellent food and service!”

“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 🥰”

“owner is fantastic. love the ice cream and the baked goods were Devine. Definitely go back.”

“Amazing spot for drinks and food!!”

“Hands down some of the best pizza we’ve had! The crust was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside, the sauce had amazing flavor, and the toppings were fresh and plentiful. Everything tasted homemade and carefully prepared. We’ll definitely be back — highly recommend trying it!”

“Best meal I had for a long time in the portions are beautifully and big, waitress could use a little bit of etiquette.. kind of leaned over our plates and our coffees , but otherwise fantastic service fantastic meal”

“Wonderful breakfast spot! Service was unparalleled. Every dish is carefully and masterfully crafted, with a lot of love from the chef who served us with a smile and great recommendations when we couldn’t decide. The plantains were roasted to perfection — gooey on the inside, crispy on the outside. The sassy croissant was absolutely scrumptious: perfect ratio of smoked salmon to cream cheese, lovely caramelized onions and the perfectly poached egg on top! The jerk chicken crepe was also delicious. The rose water digestive after we finished our meal was a lovely touch and the perfect way to finish off brunch. Would definitely recommend if you’re in Halifax! Skip the tourist madness for a homey meal.”

“Everything was excellent! The food was divine and splendid. I’m moving back to Montreal and I’m so sad to leave that tuna tartare and that Mackerel dish. Sophie was the best server anyone could’ve asked for. Polite and informed, recommended the best food and drink pairings. A delight throughout the night”

“We had an awesome lip smacking dinner today. Authentic desi Chinese main course and great tandoori for appetizers. The masala fries was a sweet surprise which is a first time for us in halifax restaurant menu. Hope you keep serving great food like this thanks”

“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!!.”

“Was my first order and it was so delicious! I will order again!”

The mac n cheese, butter ckn, the cookies, the deserts, the cheeses and dips... all awesome. One of my fave places in Halifax. Right at the top of the list. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!”

“Sunday morning after nine turned out to be perfect timing, no wait at all and the kids could actually be loud without anyone glaring at us. We split the lobster benny and a stack of pancakes and both plates got demolished, which never happens with my picky eater. Our server kept the coffee coming and even brought the little ones some crayons without us asking, which bought us just enough time to eat while it was still hot. Easy to find parking nearby too, so loading up two toddlers afterward wasn't the usual circus.”

“Delicious!! Excellent food, and a wonderful woman running Aster Cafe. Come and support this beautiful restaurant, you will love the food.”

“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.”
