The way to my heart...

1. The Bicycle Thief
I don't think words can describe how much I enjoyed my first meal at The Bicycle Thief. Five stars? Not enough. Not only was the food divine, but the atmosphere of the restaurant is very hip and relaxed, yet still classy.
I began with the baby…More »
2. Da Maurizio Dining Room
Da Maurizio is one of those popular Halifax restaurants that I've always wanted to try, but didn't have the chance until recently. Now I can't wait to go back.
First of all, the service was outstanding. We were eating rather early (probably around…More »
3. The Carleton
Where to begin with The Carleton? Music? Food? Atmosphere? This place is a serious triple threat.
But let's talk about food.
You haven't lived until you've eaten the white wine risotto. I recommend ordering the stuffed chicken breast, which is…More »
4. Il Mercato
If I ever end up on death row, I want my last meal catered by Il Mercato. It is by far my favorite place to eat in Halifax. The prices are excellent, especially considering how delicious the food is. My biggest problem with eating at Il Mercato is…More »
5. Chez Tess Creperie
I'd heard a lot about Chez Tess before I finally got around to trying it on Saturday night. I was worried it wouldn't live up to the hype (I'd heard good things) but I found it to be a lovely dining experience.
We arrived early, around 6:30 p.m. on a…More »
6. 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!
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. Mezza
This is one of my favorite places to go in Halifax, especially if I'm with a large group. The key is to order in pairs or groups and try lots of different things. The phyllo cheese rolls are my favorite, and I enjoy their desserts as well.
On a side…More »
9. Bistro Le Coq
I recently stopped into Bistro Le Coq for drinks and a bite to eat before a show at Neptune - it's position on Argyle Street makes it a prime location for such a thing.
I ordered the small cheese plate (which was quite a lot for one person) and it…More »
10. Pipa Restaurant and Bar
I've only ever been to Pipa for drinks and apps, but damn do they do those well.
OK, the special Brazilian drink they made? Amazing. It's called a Caipirinha and is basically rum and sugar. It is heaven. Go on 2 for 1 night.
My favorite app is the…More »
11. Cafe Istanbul: Kebap & Meze House
The best thing about Cafe Istanbul is the combination of stellar food and reasonable prices. It's the perfect place to go when you're in the mood for a delicious meal in a restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, but you don't necessarily want to break the…More »
12. Ela! Greek Taverna
Opa! is one of those Halifax restaurants that I'll never tire of. Some of my favorite menu items include the stuffed mushrooms (seriously, I'd fight someone for one of those), the stuffed tomato & pepper and the stuffed chicken. Their desserts are…More »
13. Café Chianti
I'd been to Cafe Chianti a few times in years past when it was located on South Street, and I was excited to return to the new location on Barrington for a friend's birthday this weekend.
The food was as wonderful as I remembered, and our waitress…More »
14. The Press Gang
I tried The Press Gang for the first time a couple weeks ago with a lovely group of fellow Yelpers. We each ordered a dish and then spread the food love, trying a little of each thing. It was a great way to be introduced to a restaurant I'd always…More »
15. Onyx
After visiting Onyx a few times recently, it's become one of my favorite places in the city. So much so, that I need to start thinking of excuses to visit more often.
I've always been a fan of their Monday (mojitos for $7) and Tuesday (martinis for…More »
16. Luckett Vineyards
I stopped by Luckett Vineyards during a trip to the valley on a chilly fall day and it ended up being the perfect way to end the afternoon.
The grounds are beautiful - there's a big red phone booth in the middle of one of the vineyards that will let…More »
17. Saege Bistro
Saege, I'm a fan. I've had various things at Saege - pastas, pizzas, sandwiches, and I've always been impressed with the food and service.
For pizza, I'd definitely recommend the pesto pizza - roasted garlic, caramelized onion, poached pear, walnut…More »
