 1. Fiasco Restaurant

Halifax, NS B3J 3S7
(902) 429-3499

Category: Canadian (New)

5.0 star rating
  6/9/2010

Fiasco is my favorite restaurant in the world.

Quietly regarded by those who know their shit in Halifax as the place to go- it's not cheap- but it's worth whatever it costs.

The menu is meat heavy- not a lot of choices for vegetarians who aren't OK…More »

2394 Robie St
Halifax, NS B3K 4M7
(902) 431-5683
5.0 star rating
  8/18/2010

One of the best spots in Halifax; no question.

Whether you want a nice brunch or dinner - not right downtown, this is the spot.

Unlike most nicer restaurants in Halifax, Jane's doesn't accept reservations-  brunch is reallllllllllly busy. Tables are…More »

Categories: Greek, Mediterranean

4.0 star rating
  7/27/2010

I started going to this place constantly after it switched from the The Greek House a few years ago.

Heather and Stefano are both friendly and make sure you're happy.

95% of the time I get the bacon-eggs-coffee breakfast special for under 6 bucks.…More »

This is a cute spot.

Definitely my go-to Viet/Thai place in HFX.

As Joseph H. mentions, they've got some good lunch specials - different colors on different days. Usually they come with a spring roll, some jasmine rice, and a cucumber salad.

The lady…More »

5750 Atlantic Street
Halifax, NS B3H 1G9
(902) 422-6497
5.0 star rating
  12/30/2011

I'm definitely a fan of HGS. I think when you're comparing it with the public options in the area, Grammar certainly has its perks. One of those perks is that your teachers are all excellent and most of the students are fairly docile (you're not…More »

5650 Spring Garden Rd
Halifax, NS B3J 1H4
(902) 422-2866

Category: Italian

4.0 star rating
  6/9/2010

If you live in Halifax and eat food then you know il mercato. It's been a mainstay in both Halifax + Bedford for a long time. It's italian, very reasonably priced, loud, busy, and fun.

Went with a group of 7 on a Saturday night- although it took a…More »

Goffs, NS B2T 1E4

5.0 star rating
  12/29/2011 First to Review

Was so happy to walk into Stanfield airport tired, hungry, and hungover and see the glistening lights of the Chicken Burger sparkle as I stopped heading towards security and started thinking about what to get on my sangwich.

I decided cranberry and…More »

Category: Hotels

5.0 star rating
  12/22/2010

Nice rebranding of this classic Halifax hotel. This is purely commentary on the F&B department which I've had for several catered events as well as dining in for Holiday brunches / having a drink in the lounge. Staff friendly, decor cozy- but…More »

 9. Mary's Place Cafe II

5982 Spring Garden Rd
Halifax, NS B3H 1Y7

4.0 star rating
  12/22/2010

Having been a fan of Mary's I on Robie for several years, I was excited to see how Roy would expand on the hole-in-the-wall/cramped quarters but great value food on Spring Garden.

Firstly, the size of the place is about 4x Mary's I. Lots of varied…More »

215 Waverly Rd
Dartmouth, NS B2X
(902) 434-7600
3.0 star rating
  12/29/2010

The Heart of Dartmouth.

You want an unhealthy meal? Maybe a steak wrapped in bacon, some hard fried eggs, and some more fried taters for 13.99? This is the place. There is no pomp, lots of poorly dressed patrons, friendly staff (I get the feeling they…More »

Impressive value at Phil's. Big open space. Air conditioned. Attentive and cute staff.

Got the large fish and chip (haddock) and fried shrimp as an app.

The batter was that crumbly kind- not the layered fried most often associated with fish n'…More »

(902) 455-1133
2.0 star rating
  8/16/2010

For Halifax, the pizza is pretty good.

Please only do take out - they have not yet mastered the art of customer service and you'll probably wait a long time if you don't get up and be a dick.

We split a large meatball hero, a small ceasar salad, and a…More »

Category: Middle Eastern

2.0 star rating
  8/14/2010

I was originally a very big fan of Tarboosh when it opened. If you're in the South End, it certainly stands out as being unique with it's offerings...you can walk up from SMU and back during a lunch break no problem.

If you're driving, usually…More »

Category: Coffee & Tea

3.0 star rating
  1/5/2012

Best espresso I've had in Halifax (a city that is missing out on quality coffee). They've got a few different roasters- both local and international. I'm a fan of Chicago's Intelligensia Black Cat roast which is usually profiled (and priced a little…More »
