1. Saskia Roch Aesthetics
I just noticed Saskia Roch now has a Facebook page with prices and services listed: https://www.facebook.c... AND they accept debit/credit etc! 5th star achieved.

10/1/2011 First to Review
Saskia Roch Aesthetics is located in Foxy Moon Hair Gallery. It's not a large space, and it's not… Read more »
2. Dartmouth Veterinary Hospital
I haven't had much experience with vets, so it's hard to review properly. I had a dog growing up, but in my small town there were no vets. In fact, the idea of going to a vet was some sort of fancy-pants nonsensical luxury on the same level as owning…More »
3. Tim Hortons
This location is minutes away from my doorstep, so I visit a lot. I'm not usually pulled together enough on weekdays to get out of the house on time to pick up a coffee on the way to work, but on weekends? I dig that I can jump in the car (in my…More »
4. May Garden Chinese Food
This is my go-to Chinese take out place when all I really want is comfort food, rather than authentic Chinese cuisine. My usual order is Combo 6 (sweet and sour chicken with rice) and an extra egg roll. The portions are quite generous, so it makes 2…More »
5. The Bargain Shop
This location of The Bargain Shop is incredibly convenient for me as it is mere steps away from my office. They recently did some much-needed renovations and changed much of the store around completely. The selection has definitely expanded as a…More »
6. Atlantic Superstore
This location was recently renovated and as a result the shopping experience has much improved. It's lighter, airier and better organized. Frankly it was a dim and depressing place before.
It generally meets my needs and is the most convenient spot…More »
7. Fiddleheads Kids Shop
Dartmouth, NS B2Y 4J2
(902) 405-8801
Categories:
Toy Stores,
Baby Gear & Furniture
Whenever a kid in my life has a birthday or other special event, Fiddleheads is my first stop. Here's why:
- I feel fairly confident I'll hit a home run with both parent and child with any gift from this store: the toys are fun, educational and…More »
8. Old Port Pub & Grill
Awful. Just awful. I've only been here once, but that was way more than enough. I'd heard their brunch was pretty good, so I ordered eggs benny. First bite? Rancid. Putrid. Had to spit it out. The home fries were edible at best. Service was not great…More »
9. Wok Box
My personal Wok Box philosophy is this: it's a fast food version of Asian cuisine. Don't come here ordering a red curry for example, and then proceed to compare it against authentic Thai food. Apples and oranges. Wok Box is lower on the scale, smack…More »
10. Frenchy's Used Clothing
This is a Halifax gem with treasures to be found throughout if you're willing to hunt for them, especially if you're looking for footwear. This location has tons of shoes and boots - TONS! You can find some great handbags here too, both new and…More »
11. Humani-T Cafe
I have struggled with reviewing this cafe for some time. Some aspects of this place deserve a 4 or 5 star review, while others rate only 1 or 2 stars.
Let's start with the good shall we?
First of all - the space and atmosphere is fantastic and worth 5…More »
12. Irving
Convenience is the key for me, and this definitely hits the mark. Lots of pumps mean you rarely have to wait for gas even though this is a busy spot. I generally pay at the pump without issue, but if I need to pay inside service is friendly and…More »
13. Tim Hortons
This location of Tim Hortons gets it right. It's an incredibly busy spot, but the staff keeps things moving at a good pace, both in-store and in the drive-thru. Most importantly, the coffee is consistently good here, as is everything else.
14. Chilly Willy's Ice Cream Barn
This is an old-school style ice cream barn that serves Scotsburn ice cream. Nothing fancy, just good quality ice cream in a decent selection of flavours, including many old favourites like Moon Mist, Tiger and Mint Chip. I almost always get a kiddie…More »
15. Silver Dragon Restaurant
I normally get takeout from Silver Dragon - usually as part of a group order. I've tried a few different dishes, and my favourite is the orange chicken. It's so tasty with just the right amount of heat to balance the sweet. The egg rolls are good…More »
16. Obladee Wine Bar
I heart Obladee Wine Bar. This place was so needed in downtown Halifax. It's so lovely to head down for a glass of wine after work or start an evening there before heading out to dinner. They have an excellent selection of wines by the glass,…More »
17. Citadel Halifax Hotel
Meh. I haven't stayed here so I can't speak to that experience or the rooms, but I've been on course here a few times. The meeting rooms are adequate, but nothing special. The chairs are not at all comfortable. We had coffee, muffins and pastries…More »
18. Coast Tire & Auto Service
Since this location of Coast Tire is just up the street from my office, it is super convenient for me. I can just drop it off in the morning for my oil change, MVI, tire change, or repair, and pick it up on my way home after work. I can usually call…More »
19. Lady Luck Boutique
Fun, fun, fun! First of all, this shop can be found in one of the best neighborhoods in Halifax (Canada, in fact according to a recent article): the Hydrostone Market. This boutique is chock full of fun, feminine accessories - everything from jewelry…More »
20. CMYE: Tour-around Thursday!
So the plan for tonight totally flopped due to the rapture or whatever you would call today's weather. And then Ben's brilliant Plan B also flopped due to circumstances beyond anyone's control. But the hastily chosen Plan C of prosecco at Il Mercato…More »
21. Love, Me
I love this shop. I always find the most amazing and unique handmade items here. I love that I'm supporting both a local independent retailer as well as a Canadian (if not Haligonian) artist when I buy something here.
The space itself is perfect -…More »
22. Fujiyama Restaurant
Oh Fujiyama, I heart thee.
This is hands down my favourite sushi joint in the city. I crave their sushi. My favourite roll is the crispy spicy salmon roll. Deep fried spicy salmon roll with spicy mayo and honey wasabi? It is the stuff sushi dreams are…More »
23. Chives Canadian Bistro
I've been to Chives a couple times now, and I must say I'm very glad Halifax has a place like this. I'm struggling between rating it 4 or 5 stars.
My first Chives experience was the summer before last. I had wanted to try Chives for years, so I…More »
24. Hamachi Kita
Hamachi Kita is consistently consistent. Great spot to grab a sushi lunch, though it's a wee bit difficult to get in and out within my allotted hour lunch break.
The Bento Box lunch special is a crazy good deal, and there are lots of options for…More »
25. Jean's Chinese Restaurant
Jean's Chinese Restaurant is our office go-to for Chinese delivery. It's not my favourite, but it's adequate. The food is good, but nothing to write home about, and the prices are quite reasonable. Jean's does a couple things well that help them…More »
26. Backyard & Veranda
I could (and probably have) wander(ed) around for hours in here. I love Backyard & Veranda. I want my place to BE Backyard & Veranda. A lot of stuff here is out of my price range, but I can still find plenty to tempt me within my range - everything…More »
27. Pete's ToGoGo
Pete's to Go Go is a convenient spot to grab lunch downtown. Great space, tons of fresh and tasty options, free wifi, convenient location - what more could you want? I was here last week with a couple coworkers and enjoyed a delicious broccoli salad…More »
28. CMYE: The 'C' Stands For Creepy!
This was a blast! I had such a great time tonight - lots of laughs, stories (ghost and otherwise), and creepiness on many levels.
Always the accommodating host, Ben was in costume for the event so Jill M wouldn't be the only one (she was heading to a…More »
29. Sephora
I've been a Sephora fan for many years and have been lucky enough to visit a few stores around the world. I actually got kicked out of a Sephora in Malaga, Spain. It was siesta time and bitch don't mess with beauty sleep.
But, back to the Halifax…More »
30. Tim Hortons
What is it about my hood that makes it impossible to get a decent cup of coffee? I decided to branch out from my usual Tim Hortons up the street in hopes I could find a better option for my weekend coffee fix. Alas, it was not to be. My coffee is…More »
31. Alpha Strike Laser Tag
Loads of fun! I've been here a few times now and have had an absolute blast every time.
The last time I went was for my birthday, and since most of my group were 30-something newbies, they let us go in the maze by ourselves, so we had the run of the…More »
