Jeanette McPherson

This was our first time here and we had 2 Celiacs and one gluten free person and we were so impressed with the gf pizza and risotto balls. Crust was one of the best we have had so we ordered another one to go! Service was amazing and server was friendly and informative. Can’t wait to go back.

DCAPA info

We were promptly greeted, and they are very celiac aware. Delicious gf fish and chips, the other dishes ordered by others in our party were all really good (as reported by the others). Great service, attentive family! Highly recommend this hidden away gem!

Eric Stcyr

Had an amazing dinner, the food and drinks were excellent and they were very accommodating to dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten free) in our group. The service was also outstanding and each person in our group received a fresh rose at the end of the meal. The ambiance was really nice as well. I highly recommend it!

Bob Villeneuve

What a great find!! Traveling in Halifax as a family with several food intolerances, we could not have been happier with the Gluten-Free, Vegan, and dairy-free options. Cozy spot, great service, and everything was very tasty. We've been in town two nights and had dinner here twice!

Jules Wood

We had a gathering of 16 people and Talay Thai put together our take out order flawlessly. The food was delicious, and they were very knowledgeable and willing to accommodate my gluten sensitivity.

Krista Wright

Ate at Krave numerous times when my husband was in the hospital! Delicious food for someone who eats gluten free - love the buns!!!

Theresa Burris

An exceptional dining experience. Very impressed with how serious food allergies are treated. Our server, who was excellent, guaranteed no crosscontamination of gluten and the manager Yamac, who was particularly personable, attentive and pleasant, discussed the method of food preparation, ingredient substitution prior to the meal being made and checked in afterwards to confirm everything was satisfactory. My partner and I enjoyed every bite of our meals. I had the Chipotle Mango Chicken, my partner had the Grilled Chicken Zen Bowl. Photo of the Chipotle Mango Chicken enclosed. The cheesecake was the best that we ever had. The service was excellent. Hats off and thanks to Moxie's a restaurant doing it right. We will be back.

Scout and Ellie

Amazing food, Becka went out of her way to make it a wonderful experience especially for our daughter with Celiac. She's the best server we've had in many years. Definitely a go to spot!

Valerie De Jong

We had a spectacular dinner at 2 Doors Down. A cozy atmosphere, excellent service and the food was amazing! My partner is celiac so was very happy they had a gluten free seafood chowder, and it was so good. Loved the biscuits with the butter and molasses as well. I had the scallop and asparagus risotto….definitely recommend!

JS Fletcher

Wow, I am very impressed! The food was absolutely delicious and I already know what I will try next visit. I had the Ultimate Club with delicious Dragon fries and a blueberry blast smoothie. Food is 100% vegan and very fresh. Great atmosphere, and the ladies working were very friendly and helpful. While I'm personally okay to eat gluten, they did have many gluten free options as well!

I wish this place had a more authentic Venezuelan decore but besides that its perfecto!! The Empanadas are super yummy and gluten free, in fact all the food is I believe. Great service and amazing owners and definitely a must reccomend when visiting the Waterfront of Halifax.

Amazing gluten free chicken sandwich

Dowobeha

A hidden treasure we just happened to find. Great place to meet up with friends in a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. The service was amazing, and the food was excellent. My husband has celiac, and not only did he have gluten-free choices on the menu, he really enjoyed the food. Best of all, he didn't have any negative reactions. We'll definitely be going back whenever we're on Halifax.

The interior is beautiful, romantic enough, cozy, but the light is too dim for me (but this is my subjective opinion). Location - the restaurant is located in the down town, i.e. in the city center, which, unfortunately, means the absence of its own parking lot and you have to look for it, and it is paid even on weekends. Food - not very many, in fact, menu items if we are talking about the main dishes. There are few gluten-free dishes, which, for example, was a problem for us. We had to order soup and salad because we have restrictions on the types of meat we can eat and therefore, actually, vegetarian soup is all we could order. It was delicious, I have no complaints, but it's still a pity that there is such a limited selection of gluten-free meat dishes. We ordered tea and I liked that the tea cup was warm (despite the fact that it was empty), and the tea was served separately in a teapot). Service - everything here was top notch, the girl who served us was as attentive as possible, she knew the menu and the composition of the dishes well, she could tell us what dishes we could order, taking into account the restrictions we had. But still, I deducted one star. I was out of paper towels. As always, in the restaurant there is a cloth napkin in which the cutlery is wrapped and which we put on our laps when we eat, but I cannot wipe my lips, for example, with that napkin, for this I need paper ones, but they were not on the table and no one offered . This is my humble opinion, it was uncomfortable for me. Well, the shortcomings of the menu that I wrote about above also played a role in the evaluation. And in general, I can recommend this place, we liked it.

Gluten free options, cute decor! Delicious desserts! Service was great!

Dia Orengo

Delicious food, great experience. The fried plantain and Jerk Chicken waffles are amazing! Gluten free/ friendly options too

Fay Rolfe

On vaycay from Vancouver B.C. doing the walk about at Pier21 and stopped into The BG. Beautiful location, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Huge beverage menu!! As celiac, it's challenging to find some safe eats away from home. I ordered the gf option Lobster Roll & fries and oh my lord.... fantastic 😋 Thanks for being aware of dietary restrictions for some 🥳 If I'm ever back out this way, will definitely come back.

Nestled at the Halifax waterfront amongst historical buildings, the A Mano is a beautiful Italian restaurant that serves traditional fares with great pairings of wines and the usual beers. Service is smooth overall, but we did have a small issue with a gluten-free order, which needed to be rectified. We were a group of 8 and a wide selection of food was ordered. The Schiacciata, Sgabello, Calamari Fritti were good and perfect for a chilly evening. As the main course, Quattro Carni, fresh Halibut with Shrimps, Lasagna, Lamb Shank, Seafood Stew and the Linguini were good. We were too full and ordered the share Torta Per Due cheesecake and were not disappointed . Overall, good restaurant and great vibes for a chilled dinner next to the water.

Fast, friendly service from Ashley. Gluten free bun was amazing, thank you

Laura Elisa

Hands down the best brunch in Halifax. I’ve tried 6 of their dishes and every single one was perfect. One of my friends is celiac and the menu had so many amazing options, truly a gem.

Tario Sultan

Absolutely love this place! The staff are super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The space is big, clean, and has a great atmosphere, perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed meal. I tried the smoothie and a burrito, and both were absolutely amazing. You can really taste the freshness in every bite. Highly recommend Harvest if you’re looking for healthy (vegan, gluten free), delicious food in Halifax!

Sonja Naugler

I placed a catering order for my office. The food was very good, no issues there. I ordered and PAID for gluten free pita which I did not receive. When I brought this to the attention of the restaurant I was told we will make sure you get it next time. Sadly this is not something that my office does often so next would likely not be until next year. I was very disappointed with this response. Honestly I likely would not have left this review but the restaurant asked for a review so Im going to be honest and say that I was not overly happy with this order.

Have wanted to try this place out forever after hearing about them having Gluten Free options. So glad we did today! Tandoori chicken fries were delicious and the Kashmiri apple fries should be illegal. The flavour and texture are crave worthy. So so good! Can’t wait to come back. Make sure you go check it out!!

Elizabeth Steel

Caryn was phenomenal. She knew exactly what options were gluten free and was aware of cross contamination (she is every celiac customers dream!!). The food was great as always and super kid friendly. Thank you!

Doreen Jardine

This is such a wonderful place. The pizza is delicious, had the Mediterranean pizza, veggies so fresh. My sister is gluten intolerant and said their gluten free crust one of the best. We'll be back again. 😁🍕

Sara Vandenbroek

This Boston pizza did not disappoint, as a new celiac they ensured I would be able to eat at their location without worry. The food was good! Service was great we had both the manager and a server who were both wonderful! The atmosphere was like any other sports bar, very nice, not loud and friendly!

They had gluten free options and were able to accommodate someone with celiac! The interior is really cute, our waiter was so sweet, and the food was delicious and a good price. Will be back soon!

Linda Newton

Cosy restaurant with amazing staff. Also a takeout area available. Huge variety of food & drink options, gluten free, vegetarian & vegan.

Taryn Cooper

I find it utterly ridiculous that to order a gluten free sandwich, I have to pay the same price as a regular sandwich but I am getting served half the amount of food. It is bad enough when restaurants charge extra money just for someone to eat a gluten free bun, but to be asking for that much money for that little food is disrespectful. Eating gluten free for many people isn't an optional lifestyle choice. It is medically necessary, and we shouldn't have to break the bank to eat out. What this is is ableism based in capitalism. The food here is sub par for the price I am paying. There are a few things that are definitely good enough that maybe the price is okay, but the vast majority is not. The kindness and skill of the staff is the one redemptive quality of the establishment. They are excellent servers and baristas. Every employee I interacted with was delightful.

Daniel Wilkinson

Very expensive but good food, good gluten free options as well accessible for wheelchairs. Service was great and they even showed us how to play. Wish we could've stayed longer!

Holly L

came here with a group as gluten and dairy free… they had a whole menu to choose from!! And the carrot cake was to die for! Such excellent service I had to come back for a full brunch and more cake lol

Rachel is an absolute sweetheart! She was so so kind, and GENUINE, which is rare to come by. A broken down vehicle happened us upon this little gem, and it was an extremely pleasant experience that made us forget our troubles. That's saying a lot. Going to drop a bunch of keywords for you now lol : they have gluten-free ( GF ) pizza crusts ! And vegetarian pizzas, and vegan options! Yes, they have vegan cheese too. And an outdoor patio. Highly recommend 👌🏼⭐ stop reading reviews, go eat there now! Nom nom nom

I had been wanting to go here since they opened and I finally made it on my birthday. I am happy to note that the service and food did not disappoint. Emily was super kind and lovely to talk to. I had the baked rigatoni and my mom had the beet and goat cheese rigatoni and both were so delicious. They have a few gluten free options to choose from as well! For the quality of food, the prices are pretty reasonable. I suggest making a reservation before you go because they are typically very busy. The atmosphere is warm and inviting in my opinion, and I will definitely be back again!
