As an almost life-long Halifax native, I wish I had known about this place sooner! The interior is cozy and unpretentious. It's all about the food here - no extra song and dance necessary. Our waitress was very attentive and cheerful, and quick to…More »

Categories: Burgers, Diners

5.0 star rating
  4/25/2011

Guys, it's not a joke. Stop resisting the siren song of the peanut butter burger and just give in to its ooey gooey goodness. And while you're at it, shovel in a hand-full (or 5) of Darrell's fries. Your waistline might regret it, but the rest of you…More »

Nothing satisfies quite like Thai food, and Gingergrass serves up some pretty great plates. With helpful servers and the sweetest owner you ever did meet, Gingergrass sets an excellent example of how customer service should be. Whether you dine in or…More »

4.0 star rating
  2/24/2011 First to Review

I just concluded my first trip to "The Bicycle Thief", the newest restaurant from the Bertossi Group, and it was definitely a positive experience. The ambience is much warmer and more inviting than Bish, which previously occupied the space. The…More »

4.0 star rating
  3/4/2012

When it comes to good food, the Bertossi Group doesn't really mess around, which is why I will never say no when someone suggests that we head to A Mano for a meal. The salads are amazing - if you're an arugula lover, you better believe that their…More »

Vinnie's is a pasta bar/Italian restaurant in the south end of Halifax, and a great place for a casual dinner that won't stage an all-out assault on your wallet.  They don't appear to have a website, but they do have a facebook page: More »

4.0 star rating
  6/25/2011

It's about that time again. The time when Haligonians young and old flock to the patios of downtown Halifax to enjoy a burger or beer (or ideally both) in the sun. The challenge is finding a restaurant that provides ample patio real estate. Well,…More »

After a long weekend of moving (lift heavy box, repeat x 10000) I was JUST. SO. HUNGRY. We needed a restaurant, and we needed one asap. Enter Henry House, conveniently located only minutes from my front door. The 3-level restaurant (plus patio)…More »

Halifax, NS B3J 1B4
(902) 444-7663
5.0 star rating
  1/12/2012 ROTD 3/25/2012

When it comes to quality of food and quality of service, Morris East always goes above and beyond the call of duty. We showed up at 6:30 on a Friday night to a full house and were told the wait would be about 15 minutes. 15 minutes turned in to 20…More »

Category: Coffee & Tea

4.0 star rating

Great coffee and to-die-for baked goods in a chic but cozy environment. An example of a typical day's baked offerings: cheddar green onion and blueberry orange scones, and cranberry banana oat and blackberry white chocolate muffins - I want ALL of…More »

I walk on Lower Water Street on a regular basis, yet somehow had never stopped in to take a look around the Choco Cafe until last night. Well... I'm glad that oversight has been resolved, because Choco Cafe is a wonderful little spot. True to its…More »
