"This intimate cocktail bar and restaurant in the North End is the reservation to snag in Halifax. Since Bar Kismet opened in 2017, its garnered national acclaim for its inventive cocktail list, sparkling seafood crudos, and expertly made pastas, served in a charming, dimly lit space." - Gabby Peyton, Kaitlyn McInnis
"Halifax’s Bar Kismet (No. 49), which was named the Ketel One Sustainable Bar." - Devorah Lev-Tov
"Newcomers Bar Kismet and the Spanish-inspired Highwayman boast equally well-curated wine lists and fresh sharing plates."
"Remove from the equation the once-coveted stools at the bar and cut back by 50 per cent the seating in the small intimate dining room, and you’ll find that the prospective figures for operating dine-in at Jenner Cormier’s Bar Kismet to be wanting. So, last June, Cormier and his wife, chef Annie Brace-Lavoie, took a pass on Halifax’s controlled reopening and stuck to their highly popular takeout."
Rank: #20 "Bar Kismet is refined, relaxed and a little bit retro. Chef Annie Brace-Lavoie oversees a menu with influences drawn from Mediterranean and French regional cuisines. Handmade pasta is a house specialty. Seafood and vegetables are charred, grilled, braised and torched."
