Lexy Grace 103697 Report post Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) I've lived in Halifax all my life and I'm sure there are places that I haven't eaten at or that have just newly opened. I'm looking for your suggestions on great places to eat, preferably not a place where their main selling dishes are shellfish (deadly allergy:shock:), fish is fine but no shellfish. That was not nice of me to exclude the shellfish lovers, I love shellfish but I just can't eat it. Please do include all great food places, that everyone can enjoy. Thanks in advance for your help!

Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted April 13, 2013 I am anxious to see the responses. I was born in Halifax but moved away from Nova Scotia at the age of 6. My grand mother did not live in Halifax so we rarely went there when visiting but occasionally we would take a day trip to check out our old house in Dartmouth. I am hoping to get there this summer and would love to hear about the great spots to visit! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest C**Tra****er Report post Posted April 13, 2013 It can be difficult to find restaurants in Halifax that don't serve some kind of shellfish. Here are some of my favorites: MacKelvies on Bedford Row, seafood primarily Saege Bistro on Spring Garden, Italian Ela in Bayer's Lake, Greek Hamachi Kita in the Hydrostone, sushi Brooklyn Warehouse on Windsor Street Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reddog2402 2221 Report post Posted April 13, 2013 If you want to head out of town a little bit, Rhubarb Cafe in Indian Harbour (near Peggy's Cove) is fantastic. Fresh, locally-sourced food, and their menu is constantly being updated to include whatever is in season. Also a fantastic atmosphere - it's right on St. Margarets Bay, and they have a great patio overlooking the water. On a nice summer night, you can't get a better spot to watch the waves while enjoying a glass of wine. Definitely worth the trip. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ventrue 120 Report post Posted April 13, 2013 Is good Japanese restaurant. I'v only had the chicken teriyaki there but it's half the price of one place that disappointed me and it tasted better. Oh I have eaten there once with someone from Japan and he thought it was very authentic. Only drawback to the place is no parking. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redmana2 2754 Report post Posted April 13, 2013 Another vote for McKelvies, my favorite, just watch the shellfish. Vinnie's Pasta Bar - great affordable Italian Talay Thai - favorite Thai food, wide menu Fireside - casual fine dining, great cocktails Onyx - fine dining, even better cocktails Rock Bottom Brewery - on spring garden, great microbrew, pretty good food and atmosphere Henry House - on Barrington near morris, great pub food 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
