Halifamous

In their words

Why The Narrows made their lists

It feels like you're walking into someone's well thought out, cozy home. Me and my boyfriend walk there once a week for a cider and dessert. I love the laid back friendly service as well.

Immaculate vibes. No mics, just a bunch of burly guys and long-time buds singing old country/bluegrass. NO PA, NO PROBLEM.

An incredible pub. It's everything you want in a classic pub but with a slightly higher-end vibe and more unique feel to it. It's cozy. It's where I want to be in winter.

It's not uncommon to have a traditional band playing beside the fireplace in one of the rooms. You won't be out of place if you show up with your kids, your grandma or your date. It's inside a large heritage house on Gottingen Street and the service is incredible. Did I dream this place up?

Ria MaeRia Mae's Halifax

Nothing says Nova Scotia more, or tastes I should say, than objectively the best restaurant in the city. No resos because we like the pace of things a bit slower around here so order a hot toddy while you wait in the lobby. Dutch Mess or Chicken Fricot for your main and make sure to leave room to share a sticky toffee pudding for dessert.
