Guidebook for Halifax
Food scene - Restaurants/Cafes/Bars
I’ve added places here that are all within a fifteen minute walk from our house, with a few favourites that are a little farther afield.
One of the best restaurants in town. Creative dishes and great atmosphere inside. It used to be walk-in, but I think they have switched to reservations and you will need to book well in advance.

enVie A Vegan Kitchen
5775 Charles StA great little vegan restaurant around the corner from our house.
Chain-Yard Urban Cidery
2606 Agricola StLocal cidery with decent pub fare and light meals.
Excellent food. The only place in town I’ve ever found halibut cheeks on the menu. If you’ve never had them, they are to die for. Seasonal, so they may not have them all the time.

We like this place because it is down-to earth. If you want some pub fare and a beer without a long trek home. It is a block and a half from our house.
