South End Favorites
See All Lists
1. Morris East
Best pizza in Halifax! It says "no" for takeaway, but they actually do do orders for pickup. Just peruse their menu online, order a little bit in advance and take home your favorite pizza to enjoy with a glass of wine!
2. Talay Thai Restaurant
Talay Thai is a staple of the South End, and just writing this review reminds me that it has been way too long since I stopped by. Talay Thai is the most fun when you and a bunch of friends order a lot of dishes and share, so grab some adventurous…More »
3. Vinnie's Pasta Bar
I have two words for you: Rice. Balls.
If I'm being completely honest (and I almost always am), I don't love Vinnie's selection of pastas. I've had two that I found bland and one that I found too spicy. But I do enjoy their pizzas, and I LOVE their…More »
4. The Wired Monk Coffee Bistro
I would punch a toddler in the face for one of their brownies.
Seriously though, they have delicious baked goods and drinks and the atmosphere is great. It's a gem of the South End when it comes to coffee.
5. Point Pleasant Park
I grew up in the South End, and thus spent many a summer afternoon during my childhood wandering around the forest, roasting marshmallows on public BBQ pits and biking with my mom and sister. I freakin' loved it. Unfortunately, and I hate to say…More »
6. Uncommon Grounds
There are very few better ways to spend a warm spring morning than strolling through the Public Gardens with a caramel latte (or whatever your expensive yet delicious coffee-based drink of choice may be) in hand.
Not only are all of Uncommon Grounds'…More »
7. Stories Fine Dining
OK, let's be real: I wouldn't have eaten here if I'd been the one paying.
But if you can afford it, this is a Must. The food was sublime. I don't usually get excited about salad, but with goat cheese, apple and walnuts, I could have eaten three…More »
8. Gingergrass
There are a lot of reasons to visit Gingergrass, but only one matters to me: Crab Rangoon.
Crab Rangoon is an appetizer served at Gingergrass that is described as "Deep fried Thai pastry filled with crab meat, green onion and cream cheese in Thai…More »
9. Downtown Digital
I've never purchased anything from Greenlyph, but oh man can I vouch for their repairs. My laptop contains my entire life (and I suck at remembering to back up my files) so I panicked on the dark day when I was greeted with the Blue Screen Of Death.…More »
10. The Drawing Room
The Drawing Room is one of those places that I kept meaning to check out, and once I finally paid it a visit I couldn't believe I hadn't been there earlier.
The atmosphere here is what makes the bar. It's cozy, intimate and sophisticated without…More »
11. Halifax Seaport Farmers Market
OK, let's get this out of the way first - I did really like the original market in the Keith's brewery. I was a longtime fan and frequented it often. But y'all? I'm all about the Seaport now.
It's so easy to navigate, I can inspect produce easier…More »
12. Boneheads BBQ
I've only eaten here once, but I'd go back in a heartbeat. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the staff made great recommendations when it came to their desserts.
13. Darrell's Restaurant
This is a classic Halifax restaurant. The peanut butter burger is legendary, and I can't believe it took me five years to work up the courage to order it. They make one of the best milkshakes in town, and I would give anything for them to serve their…More »
14. Uncommon Grounds
Let's be honest - location has a hell of a lot to do with where you buy your coffee. And yeah, I like Uncommon Grounds because it's a 30 second walk from my house. But there's so much more to it.
I've never encountered better or more friendly staff at…More »
15. The Henry House
Need a restaurant that will please a large group of people? Need a place to take your parents? Just looking for some good ol' fashioned food? Then The Henry House is where you should be headed.
The food at The Henry House is good - not outstanding,…More »
16. Bearly's House of Blues and Ribs
You haven't lived until you've been serenaded/humiliated at Bearly's karaoke on a Wednesday night. Whether I'm being wooed with "Angel is a Centrefold" (yeah, it was weird) or am belting out "Stop" with a bunch of girlfriends, Bearly's is always a…More »
17. Atlantic News
If you're a voracious magazine reader like I am, then you need to pay a visit to Atlantic News. The only thing that could make me happier than wandering around this store browsing through dozens of interesting mags would be if I could actually afford…More »
18. Allie's Boutique
Allie's is the kind of store a girl could get lost in.
No no, it's not big. In fact, it's quite tiny. But it's so jam-packed with merchandise that you could spend all day browsing, not to mention chatting with the owner about her latest finds. There…More »
