1. Heartwood
I went to Heartwood today and of course it was delightful.
We went at a quiet hour- only a few peeps in the restaurant. Undivided attention, hello! I ordered the broccoli & red cabbage salad which was good... but maybe a little too much cabbage. Pre…More »

I heard about Heartwood in passing, but it wasn't until reading such rave reviews on Yelp that I… Read more »
2. Morris East
Morris East is the best pizza I've had in Halifax by far. Its fresh and inspired with its combinations of toppings & spices. Pizza is cooked on in a wood-fired oven, creating heaven in bread form. Not too soft, not to crisp- its just right!
The rest…More »

Fantastic dinner at Jane's the other night.
Lucky for us, it was a quiet Thursday evening and there were no line ups to stifle our appetites. I was out with a few friends from out of town who I hadn't seen in a while, so it was somewhat of a special…More »

4. The Wooden Monkey
A much needed reaffirmation of my love for the Wooden Monk.
I set sail to this resto for a first date (ooh!) just recently. Points to my new friend for suggesting such a lovely setting, as it had been too long since I've graced its confines.
It wasn't…More »

5. Pete's Frootique and European Delicatessen
Grocery shopping is one of my favourite activities of life in general. I actually should've entered it into my Yelp profile. That's just the way I roll. So to live just a 7 minute walk away from Pete's Frootique, you can imagine why this is a more…More »
6. Fred Salon Cafe & Gallery
Halifax, NS B3K 4C8
(902) 423-5400
Categories:
Hair Salons,
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
I finally made it to this North End hotspot, and it was everything I'd envisioned and more. Fred's fusion of Cafe / Salon / Gallery is a well executed vision with the big city buzz.
Its quarters bring an energy that's unique to any spot in the city.…More »
7. The Grainery Food Co-op
This is a fantastic little spot to support our own. The Grainery is a co-op, so everyone involved is strictly volunteer based. The woman I spoke to was helpful in relaying their focus, and provided a charismatic energy to my visit. I discovered that…More »
8. Elephant's Eye Decor & Cafe
Elephant's Eye speaks a language of decadent delights. Lunchtime is the best time to soak up its offerings of good food and charming decor.
Its a small spot with a real feeling of intimacy. What a fantastic lunch date this would be. Its calm and…More »
9. Satisfaction Feast - CLOSED
Satisfaction Feast was the first vegan / vegetarian restaurant I tried in Halifax. Since my initial visit, its moved locations but maintains the same calm and reflective atmosphere in its North End venue.
Treats and heartfelt dishes to fulfill most…More »
10. Rawthentic Chocolate
I purchased some Rawthentic for the first time at The Grainery on Agricola Street. The idea of chocolate treats with health benefits is undeniable for a choc-o-holic such as myself. And the purchase proved to be a good one...
Rawthentic is a smart…More »
11. Just US Café
Just Us is consistent, kind and community oriented. There is a certain sense of flow throughout its staff, product and venue that makes this place a real stand out.
Fair trade/ organic/ eco friendly is the main schtick so rest assure that its all…More »
12. DAVIDsTEA
David's is the new downtown haven for tea lovers. Those who like it loose, varied and less than ordinary can stop into this Canadian owned chain for its wall of opportunity.
