The Sweet Spot
See All Lists
1. Heartwood
I haven't stopped thinking about my brunch since I left here yesterday. I came with a group of yelpers and we all had intended on getting peanut bowls and peanut butter cheesecake but because it was a Saturday they were serving brunch and the pb bowl…More »
2. Freak Lunchbox
This is a beautiful, bright cheery spot on Barrington street. It always makes me smile walking by.
The staff are friendly, but the real draw is the candy. They have all your classic retro favorites, British imports and more. The prices can be a…More »
3. Da Maurizio Dining Room
My favourite spot in Halifax, so so good!
I had noticed on Twitter that DaMaurizio had been tweeting about a new menu coming out on the 26th. After a few exchanges and when I realized pumpkin ravioli was on the menu, I made a reservation for my…More »

My favourite high-end restaurant in Halifax. Because it's in the brewery market it can be slightly… Read more »
4. Sweet Hereafter
While I haven't eaten in, I purchased a groupon for a cheesecake. I called in 24 hours in advance as required and service over the phone was friendly and very efficient. I stopped on the next day and the cafe is decorated as a cross between a tea…More »
5. Gleneagle Bakery - CLOSED
I've enjoyed Glen Eagle's baked good since I was a child. My mom doesn't bake so often when we had company over she would pick up dessert from here. One of my grandmother's loves the vanilla cake with lemon filling and the other is a fan of…More »
6. The Bicycle Thief
It was a beautiful late summer day, so my mom and I decided to go for lunch at the Bicycle Thief. We were first seated in the inside. and the restaurant looks as beautiful during the day with the sunlight, as it does in the evening. Inside it was the…More »

I tried the Bicycle thief for my dad's birthday. Overall the experience was great, a welcome… Read more »
7. Susie's Shortbreads
This is a 3.5 star review, after mulling it over, I just couldn't give Susie's 4 stars, maybe after a few more visits trying more items, I will give it a bump. I've been thinking about how to write this review, and I think the best way is to divide…More »
8. Cafe Beaujolais
If I were ever to open up a restaurant, it would be based off of Cafe Beaujolais. The interior is quaint and beautiful, I was so in love with the colour of the walls that I emailed them and asked for the paint colour, and they happily emailed be…More »
9. Fid Resto
Under the Radar
So what I love about Fid is that during Open City, when demand was higher than expected and they sold out of sandwiches, they adapted, switched it up and started offering their awesome Pad Thai. What I love even more about them is that…More »

I've had both brunch and lunch at Fid, and although I had enjoyed both meals I had yet to eat dinner… Read more »
10. Bouchon Bakery
What is there to say that hasn't been said before? So many treats, too many calories to try them all at one time. After eating at Bouchon we decided to skip dessert at the restaurant and head to the bakery instead. I sampled their classic chocolate…More »
11. Gio Restaurant
I celebrated my mother's birthday recently at Gio, and the experience was as lovely as it has been for lunch. I liked that while there was music playing, it was at a low enough level that I could still clearly hear what my dining companions had to…More »

This is a review for the lunch at Gio.
My mom was away for mother's day, which secretly made me… Read more »
12. Humani-T Cafe
I fell in love with gelato when I was on a high school trip to Italy, and eventually settled for the fact that I could only get this delicious version of ice-cream on my trips to the Continent. I was so happy to see Humani-T Cafe, in my neighborhood…More »
13. Two If By Sea
I love Two if By Sea, and even though I live on the Halifax side, I love that what they are doing for the Dartmouth community. You can tell that the staff really loves their jobs. I like the sense of community that the cafe has, with the large table…More »
14. Crumbs
A bright spot in my dark, delayed day at Newark Airport. I had a Red Velvet cupcakes, it was delicious. Typically, I find most cupcakes from bakeries to be too dry, and have too much frosting. This cupcake was super moist and had a great…More »
15. Della Fattoria
A small, popular spot but they do take reservations. Their lavender lemonade is delicious. I also really enjoyed their citrus salad, although there may have been just a splash too much dressing. My favorite of all was the Myer Lemon Rosemary bread,…More »
16. Costeaux French Bakery & Cafe
I wish my hometown of Halifax had a place like this. The space is bright and airy, with a small amount of large tables. We stopped for lunch, and I had the grilled PB&J, that also had kettle chips in the sandwich. 8.50 for a large sandwich, with…More »
17. Snowbunny Yogurt
Yum, stopped in here while in Healdsburg on vacation, and it started my love affair with frozen yogurt. I had their original, which was delicious. I ordered the small, and was pleasantly surprised about the size, great value for my dollar.
18. Morris East
One of my favorite restaurants in Halifax. It's a small neighborhood eatery, with a cozy, inviting atmosphere. They have the best servers in the city, warm and professional. Their menu is on the small side, but changes are made to it monthly. They…More »
19. Ristorante a Mano
I have to confess, I don't think of this place often, but I always end up having a good meal here. Owned by the Bertossi group, you're in good hands.
The restaurant is dark and always busy, and fairly noisy too. Service is usually fast and friendly.…More »

What a great spot, I knew I had to visit after David Leibovitz mentioned their pretzel croissants on his blog.
The bakery was located in a convenient district for me and I love the building lofty and airy with a nice seating area above. I purchased…More »
21. Madison Square Eats
Yelp May Day Review Party - Calorie Crazy
I was really excited to find that Madison Square Eats was on during my visit to NY. I loved the experience of it all, soo many booths to choose from, and I love Marimekko so I really enjoyed the umbrellas.…More »

Day #2 - Treat Yo Self
I've been wanting to try this place since I saw Jacques Torres years ago on Martha Stewart, and it did not fail to live up to expectations.
The shop in Rockefeller Plaza is small, but has many treat options. I asked for a…More »
