Creative seafood entrees, oysters, and inventive cocktails served
"Touted as the watering hole for people serious about cocktails, this North End Halifax favorite shakes and stirs innovative, seasonal drinks that incorporate local ingredients like pineapple weed, spruce tips, and pea-shell liqueur, all served at a burnished wood bar. A thoughtfully curated wine list spotlights Eastern Canada and complements a weekly rotating menu of dishes such as handmade parsnip and gruyere ravioli and local cod steeped in a chanterelle and parmesan broth." - Chloe Berge
"A nine-seat counter bar and restaurant that champions Atlantic Canada through housemade pastas, coastal-inspired drinks and a menu that changes weekly to spotlight seasonal local seafood and native botanicals like pineapple weed and spruce tips. Founded by alumni of prominent Toronto venues, the room mixes retro charm with a refined, sustainable ethos (recognized by a sustainable bar award) and an explicit, mindful cocktail program that lists each drink’s ABV. Intimate, relaxed and focused on regional producers, it’s a destination for thoughtful, comforting fare." - Ksenia Prints
