Halifax, NS B3L 1A3
(902) 425-2808
5.0 star rating
  1/11/2010

This is the best all vegetarian restaurant in Halifax. I'm so glad they switched from that pay-by-weight format that drives me crazy at places like Le Commensal in Toronto.

Heartwood is vegan-friendly and has great baked items you can get to-go. The…More »

5.0 star rating
  1/11/2010

Jane's on the Common is head and shoulders above all other restaurants in Halifax. Their menu is thoughtful, creative, fresh, local, and most importantly tastes amazing.

For brunch I recommend the vegan banana french toast. It's made with coconut…More »

I always enjoyed my meals here. I'm never disappointed or amazed rather I see it as vegetarian comfort food. Unfortunately it's new location in the north end of Halifax is less convenient than where it used to be on Grafton Street but if you have a…More »

Category: Sushi Bars

4.0 star rating
  11/27/2009 First to Review

This cheap lower food-court sushi outlet in Spring Garden Place(the place with the Roots on the corner) otherwise known as 'Basement Sushi' is the best sushi deal in town.

Why?

Halifax is expensive whether you live there or are visiting. Ko-Doraku…More »

1649 Bedford Row
Halifax, NS B3J 1T1
(902) 422-6153

Category: Chinese

4.0 star rating
  1/11/2010

Really decent Chinese food in the 'fax. Not the best I've ever tasted, but for the vegetarian that craves Chinese in the province of NS you have few other options. Most Halifax Chinese places are dirty and scary dungeons and have menus that haven't…More »

 7. Morris East

5212 Morris St
Halifax, NS B3J 1B4
(902) 444-7663
5.0 star rating
  12/8/2009

In a city overrun with truly awful pizza, this place a beacon of hope. Morris East makes authentic Italian, thin-crust pizza in a woodfire oven the way it's meant to be and far, far away from those disgusting donair/doner spits.

On my first trip to…More »

4.0 star rating
  12/7/2009

Great little market with a pretty decent selection of organic specialty goods. They have a little fresh produce area with organic foods from the world over with a few local items like potatoes. They carry Toronto Sprouts for all those ex-TO…More »

Category: Bakeries

3.0 star rating
  1/11/2010 First to Review

In all the years I lived in Halifax, this place was never open when I went by. I should add I'm not a morning person and it is a bakery but I always bought their stuff from Planet Organic just up the road. The huge veggie samosas were pretty good. I…More »

Recently updated lists from Val G.

Vegenomics (14)

Some good learning on veg restaurants in the Big Smoke. These places are generally easier on the heart, wallet, hips and mind.

Veggie Brunch (9)

Catchline: 'Must munch on veggie brunch.' Everyone loves brunch, even people who've seen pure joy in a pig's eye and given up on eating their new friends as an artery-clogging  breakfast food. You don't have to sacrifice anything - a life or flavour, to enjoy this all important weekend meal. These fine establishments all serve up excellent vegetarian and vegan brunch options.

Furniture, furnishing and much more (8)

Urbanites: Don't waste your money on an apartment filled with Ikea prop furniture that you can't pronounce the name of and will collapse the moment you find someone to sit on it with. Suburbanites: Don't fill your cookiecutter builder's box out in the sprawl with oversized, overstuffed Brick/Leon's furniture giving your house that much dreaded funeral parlour chic. Dare I say there are better places to suss out furniture finds in this city.

Shop Local, Eat Local, and support your community (16)

These businesses, charities, farmers' markets, parks and other organizations are small, mighty and worthy of your support.

Featured Reviews (9)

I'm on the verge of remaining this list: Sunday's Vegetarian ROTD.

Sleepless in Sarasota (15)

It's cold, it's raining, it's Florida. What to do when laying by the pool is no longer an option.

My Good Deed (6)

Every now and then I try to be a decent human being.

Veggie Eats all over the Yelp World (8)

Vegetarian and vegan restaurants I've visited and frequented outside of Toronto in the wide Yelp-iverse. All these restaurants are 100% meat-free.

U-Pick Berry Farms (3)

Picking your own berries can be a lot of fun.
