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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
I went to this restaurant for a Deaf event. One of the servers new sign language and was able to serve the deaf people adequately and charismatically. As a gluten-free person, I had a delicious haddock taco and didn't feel the gluten-free options were any less delicious than the regular options! Prices are high, but fair for the overall experience. Will definitely be returning.
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.
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.

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.
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. 😁🍕

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!!
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.
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
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!
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!
Best steakhouse in Halifax, number 1 with a bullet.
I got the Cigar Tenderloin and the other half had a Coffee Aged Strip, served with a glorious red wine jus both of these steaks absolutely slapped, sides were delicious and plentiful, would order the Mushrooms again but probably skip the mash and sprouts next time in favor of something else.
They had a dessert menu but we didn't have it in us, next time!
The service was top notch and my dietary needs (Celiac) were taken seriously without making a fuss.
I cant wait to come back, I must have an anniversary or something coming up and if not I'll have to invent one.
Just went to Naan n Curry with my girlfriend. The food was tasty, the Naan portions were generous and overall it was a good deal for our money.
More importantly, we've had challenges finding good food in HRM because of her dairy allergy. The menu at Naan N curry specifically mentions if the option is gluten free, vegan or dairy free.
Very happy with our experience and will be back
What a great place! Delicious food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. As a bonus they had lots of gluten free options and seemed knowledgeable about cleaning procedures to minimize cross-contamination. I will definitely come again!
They have a separate gluten-free menu, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious. Their vegetarian rolls are just as good as the non veggie, and I find myself craving it regularly since my first visit.
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!
Bliss Caffeine Bar never fails to exceed expectation. Bliss was the ideal choice to host a social event for our local research conference (private event with 100 people). Jenna made the entire planning and social event stress free. Her and the staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Myself and a few other attendees have celiac disease or follow a gluten free diet and while they cannot promise cross contamination, Jenna went above and beyond and picked up rice crackers for the charcuterie boards (separate from the gluten free crackers). The food and drinks were delicious and beautifully presented. The venue is a first-floor level with no stair making it accessible for those with physical limitations. Thank you, Jenna and the Bliss Staff, for making our social event a success!
It is authentic Turkish restaurant very nice and warm ambience and décor, which make you feel you are in Istanbul. Great place for lunch with coworkers or dinner with friends or family. The menu has great variety of grilled kebabs and wraps in addition to nice selection of wines. This restaurant make you feel warm Turkish Mediterranean hospitality. I went with coworkers there for lunch and we had for a starters: delicious gluten free kiymali, which is warm hummus with spicy minced lamb, shrimp guvech cooked in eggplant tomato sauce, and halloumi grilled slices of Turkish goat cheese. For the main course we had delicious seafood kebab, kofte kebab and yogurt kebab with bottle of nice Villa San Martino Pinot Grigio. The prices are very reasonable for the great quality food. For desert we had Turkish coffee with yammy baklava. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who likes Mediterranean food. We are planning to come back with the team again and try other items on the menu.
I want to start by saying this restaurant is always so accommodating for my dogs we sat outside and my niece(dog) was able to sit on the couch with us we ordered chicken for her and staff came up and was petting her being so kind bringing water we felt so welcome. They came around with the coziest blankets when it was cold they were so amazing and friendly and kind about my dad who is celiac we got lobster rolls and they were fantastic so fresh the bun was amazing and the sweet potato fries were excellent the views were gorgeous and so comfy on the couches on the patio we loved our waitress she was a doll and so helpful
Fawn Offers lots of delicious gluten free and dairy sensitive options. We started with Oysters and the Tune Crudo with their sage and rosemary french fries. Followed by the spinach salad and the zucchini wrapped cod. Everything was very flavourful and felt satisfying without a ton of carbs. We finished with the lemon meringue pie that my friend described as the "closest she has ever come to bungee jumping". A great spot for a group gather or a private dinner for two.
We are in town for four days and have had poor experiences 2 out of 3 attempts at Tempo. On Friday we had a great experience, the food was tasty, the waitress was great and the service was quick.
On Saturday, when I went down for brunch they were closed. After a phone call, I learned that they where closed early due to staffing issues.
Today, my wife and I, went down for breakfast. After placing our orders; bagel and cream cheese for her and Eggs Benedict on gluten free toast for me, we received our juice and coffee. Then we waited, and waited. After three or four couples who were seated after us had ordered and gotten their food, we stopped the waitress and asked about our orders. Five minutes later, she walked by and said "It's being taken care of now." She didn't stop to talk to us, and she certainly did not apologize.
A few minutes later my wife stopped her a asked to speak to the floor manager. Our waitress replied "I guess that's me". She continued to say that it was taking time to bring the water to a boil to poach the eggs.
It was nothing but deflections and avoidance of ownership of the problem. An honest apology would of calmed my wife a great deal.
My wife then said she wasn't sure if she to have breakfast any more and the waitress indicated that if we didn't want to stay, it was fine.
We chose to leave. In all a very dissatisfactory experience that left my wife in tears back in the hotel room.
Cute little place with amazing food!! Best bacon I've ever had, too! Everything is made super fresh and homemade style!
They knew all about cooking for celiac people, too, like my mother. It's always a relief when she can eat in confidence that she won't react!
Both Annie and her helper Kahleah are both super friendly and knowledgeable! With beyond normal courtesy! I can't recommend this place enough you have to eat here!
Placed an order through Uber eats and both pitas were made incorrectly. Ordered a chicken pita add bacon and no tomatoes and a beef pita with no bacon and extra tomatoes is what was received. Gluten free pita was over microwaved and one whole side of the pita was hard and inedible. Never eating here again.
I have gluten and dairy allergies so it's hard to find restaurants that do a good job cooking a delicious meal without those two staples. The Harbourstone far exceeded my expectations.
While other restaurants include gluten-free options, the Harbourstone is the first I've seen in HRM to include both gluten-free options (GFO) and dairy free options (DFO) throughout their menu entire menu. They substituted the dairy with yummy equivalents rather than just taking it out and making the meal plain. Our meal was so good we went back the next day and had lunch.
Great Job Harbourstone!
Amazing restaurant. They have a really nice patio on the harbour and excellent service. A gluten free menu was offered which is amazing. Food prices were as expected and decent. Definitely recommend.
Found this place with our noses when we walked the boardwalk a cold rainy day. Inviting atmosphere, friendly and engaging staff and warm comforting pasta. Gluten free penne with cream sauce was excellent as was the penne with Bolognese sauce. Finished the meal with an Americano and Tiramisu (to die for). If we ever get back to Halifax we will definitely stop in again!
Dry friendly staff, great menu variety, gluten free options available(ask and don’t go by the menu gf labels), nice patio and view.
Not Spanish and authentic. It is a Mexican adaptation of Spanish food.
Had a phenomenal experience at Cable Warf. Kelsey and Carter our servers were awesome and our meal was so delicious. I have Celiac Disease and I felt I had so many options and felt safe based on our servers knowledge.The incredible view from the patio was an added bonus.Would highly recommend.
Great outdoor eating by the sea. Prices are a bit high but quality is here! The service is perfect and the decor is lovely. There are some great chefs behind the counter and the sushis are just incredible. The chowder by the way is delicious. Many gluten free options! One can have fire on the tables outside, really neat when the evening is chill or just for fun! A must try !
Celiac friendly
