“Do yourself a favour and try this place!!

Food is amazingly delicious 🤤 and the customer service is nothing but the best. Greeted with a smile, helped me pick something based on time because any food being made fresh is worth the wait. Never waited long at all. He even asked how it was when he saw me take a break ☺. It was soooo good!! Toasted to perfection 🙏

I highly recommend this place 100%.”

“Absolutely LOVED everything i’ve eaten so far! Can’t wait to continue trying more of their items. Delivery AND pick were both fast and efficient. Food is always hot/warm. The inside of the shop is so warm and welcoming, also very clean. Affordable prices. Staff are AMAZING and super friendly. 10/10 recommend!!”

“Good family restaurant with very sweet staff.
Very good and fairly priced classic breakfast, made fresh to order, would definitely go back! Less than $10 gets you two eggs cooked beautifully, two big sausages, buttered toast, and homemade French fries with a coffee or tea included. Great value.”

“Popped in here after a day at the shops in Bayers Lake for a late lunch/early dinner at 3:00 pm with my husband and 4 year old son. The waitress was super friendly and sweet with my kid and her son of a similar age was around as well. Good family vibe here. Not a fancy place by any means but comfortable.

We ordered Egg rolls, Cream Cheese Wontons and Dumplings for appetizers! All were EXCELLENT and very fresh and flavourful. Some of my favorite Nova Scotian style egg rolls I've ever had with the meat inside flavoured really nicely.

The the kid got chicken balls with fries (very affordable little kid's meal version). We got fried rice, Beef and Broccoli, Honey Garlic Spare Ribs and General Tsao's Chicken. Here again, everything was so fresh, flavourful and just very well made, not too greasy.

This is my new favorite Chinese place in the HRM and I will definitely be back.”

“Best vegan pizza I've ever had. This will be our new pizza spot!”

“very good”

“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. ♥”

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

“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 🥰”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!!.”

“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”

“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”

“RFM is fabulous! I absolutely love the vegan eggs benny breakfast.😋 The burgers are delicious too. in fact, everything is delicious. 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 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Food and service is incredible 🌯”

“I stop here most mornings before work. Quality people - energy is tangible and they glide through (seemingly) effortlessly even when slammed. Appreciate them.”

“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”

“The food is so good! I found Simply Asian by chance while visiting for work, what a gem! It was so good!”

“The service was super fast and friendly, and the food was delicious at an extremely fair price, even with alcoholic beverages. The brisket and shrimp spring rolls served with peanut sauce were so fresh and tasty - highly recommend this new menu item! The shrimp vermicelli bowl served with fish sauce was absolutely delightful, and my husband had a dish with pork, rice, vegetables with a fried egg on top served with a sweet sauce. He loved his meal! If you're into spicy drinks, try the tamarind margarita - it has a real kick and is so good! Great restaurant - can't wait to return! :)”

“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 😊”

“We had a lovely hot pot lunch and the food was great! The staff was so sweet and helpful, and food was worth it for the price. Hot pot was perfect for two people, and the matcha was the best I’ve had in a while!”

“Amazing!!! We took mainly sweet potato rolls and all of them were so yummy! The chicken ramen was also delicious, the meat was tender, the broth was tasteful! Too bad I'm not from here or it would have become my new go to!”

“Staff are friendly & attentive. My husband and I had the boneless 1/2 chicken & rice bowl & it was both beautiful and delicious. Outdoor patio is lovely. Bring your friends & enjoy a great meal out!”
