Heartwood Vegetarian Restaurant

Partner and I went on Sept 22nd to get take out as we are both Vegan and wanted to see if Heartwood had improved since opening on Charles St. Perhaps the dine in experience is better and you get treated better. The woman on the phone seemed complacent, but we chopped that up to maybe a new employee? I got the Veggie Curry Burger and the peanut butter cookie for dessert. This was what I saw when I opened the box upon arriving home. Just so disorganized, and also so little food for spending $18+tax, it looked like the fries and salad were half eaten before they packed it up. The food tasted fine, but the taste was definitely not worth the price. The worst thing about it was their cookies, $3 for sand held together with glue. I mean really bad cookies, unless you like eating sand held together with Elmer's brand glue, which is totally cool if that's what you're into. I am not a fan of that. If you're a vegan, there aren't many places to go in Halifax, but I wouldn't recommend going here.

Ordered the tofu peanut bowl. Got rice instead of noodles. Called to nicely inform them. Could hear the girl in the phone giggle to her manager while she’s telling him the complaint. Very unprofessional. Manager said if I want to go there I could get a free bowl. No other offer to send one out. The food is good here by the service was awful. Sorry girlie.. the words rice and noodles look very different!! Go back to school. You don’t get to laugh at me for your mistake.

The restaurant was so nice and clean. The atmosphere was so relaxing and peaceful. We went out for our late dinner on Saturday and ordered Traditional Heatwood Bowl with sweet & Spicy Tomato Sauce and Green Poutine. They both were so tasty and made us feel so happy and comfortable after eating. Even though we arrived after 9 PM, the server was so friendly and welcoming. If you are a vegetable lover, this is a perfect restaurant to go. They have vegan and gluten free options as well.

New location is very nice! We went at 12pm on a Friday with family 4+1 toddler. Sat us no problem and food came quickly. My husband order was wrong but he would never make a fuss. He ordered a peanut bowl with rice and got the curry bowl instead but we all loved our meals! The kids quesadilla was adult size with veggies. However it could use a dip like marinara/red sauce! The pomegranate juice was delicious! Thank you!

Love this place. Great vibes and awesome food! Pictured is the green poutine, and my wife had peanut noodle bowl. Strawberry cider and peanut butter cookie to round out an excellent Sunday night meal!

Heartwood is a heartwarming place with delicious food! I have been going here since 1996 as my primo spot to get healthy vegetarian food and baked goods. Carrie has been very generous to me and gave me my favourite kind of cookie today. The food is always great, the atmosphere is chill, and you can count on great customer service and the best veggie food in HRM!

Service was not great, they completely forgot my coffee even though in between waiting one of there employees came out to ask us, we had to confirm with them two times for them to finally make it for us. The cookie s taste is good but texture is a bit off. Burrito was not wrapped properly, and has a taste of an old storage room.

I visited Heartwood for the first time since they reopened, and it was amazing! Both the host and the server were so friendly, and the food was exactly how I remember. I will totally be back!
