Review from Shannon K.

Flavor had been a Sydney staple restaurant for me for the last three years.
This small bistro style restaurant has a lovely eclectic menu.
I enjoy ordering from the entree section because it allows you to choose two sides with your meal, and really, it makes Flavor the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' of dining experiences.
On my most recent visit, the restaurant was on their last full week of the summer menu before transitioning to new offerings.
For my entree, I ordered the Caribbean Shrimp (Coconut & Cilantro Crusted Shrimp with Pineapple Cream), with sides of Lemon Herb Risotto and Roast Garlic Potato with Chive Butter. Right. Think about that for a few minutes. Okay, now back to the review.
The risotto was a tad al dente for my personal liking, but the flavour was wonderful. And while the pairing of the potatoes with the shrimp and risotto may have been a little unusual, it was my choice, and all three dishes hit the spot.
I finished the meal with a chocolate coconut square and a great conversation with my friends. We stayed right until closing, and while we remained mindful of the time, we never felt rushed by the staff.
Keep in mind: the dining area is small, just a handful of tables and bench seating along the window, but it greatly lends to Flavor's cheerful yet relaxed personality. -

I've been to Flavor twice, and I've been so impressed with both experiences that I'll be making this a regular destination every time I visit Sydney.
One might think that Sydney wouldn't have much to offer in the vegetarian/gluten-free arena, nor would most people assume that you'd find something so creative and fresh in little 'ol Sydney. Have no fear, for anyone looking for a hip, bistro experience that feels down to earth, Flavor will more than satisfy.
My favorite option is the trio of salads. All of their freshly made options are on display, so by being allowed to try three at once (servings are generous, but never overwhelming) my tastebuds are never bored. Other options include delectable desserts, fantastic mains, and on my last visit they had whipped up a daily special that AM that was wowing the lunch crowd so much that there was a lot of chatter about adding it to the menu!
The space is small, but it's 100% worth any wait time. -

I ate here in July 2011 and was so impressed that I came back three more times before the end of August, driving two hours each way from my cottage to dine here. Great restaurant with a very diverse menu. Lots of vegan, vegetarian and healthy options that are still delicious. The roasted cherry tomato & fresh basil toasted crostini is out-of-this-world amazing. I took my kids and niece and they also loved it (so great for kids). I live in Halifax and would love for the owners of Flavor to open a restaurant in Halifax -- please!!! One of the best restaurants I have eaten in in Canada.
