Went for the Nutella noodle cheesecake (March 11-5, 2025 only) and left with the peanut butter cheesecake too. Sweet Hereafter is an adorable cheesecake and coffee/tea restaurant, perfect for a date, catch up, late night dessert or to take out. It’s a ‘Ma and Pa’ business, locally owned and operated and the Pa makes all the recipes. And they have gluten free options. They’re closed on Sundays and Mondays so plan ahead. So glad it’s on my dessert choice list now!
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!
Such a fun place to eat. Celiac safe (in my experience) and most of the menu can be made gf. It tends to be noisy so if you're not into that kind of thing it's something to be aware of. It's a cozy spot and the service is always top notch. Once a dish wasn't what I'd hoped and the server inquired why I wasn't eating much. I didn't want to complain but after I told them I wasn't into it they brought a free dessert after offering to replace the whole meal (I was already full so I didn't want another). The one time I didn't love what I got they more than made up for it with the service. That same day I ate a bunch of another persons pasta and theirs was excellent, I think what I had was a one off and have gone back with 0 issues since.
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.
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.
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

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.
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!
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!
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
Enjoyed an excellent brunch at Drift on the weekend. Great food and service. Gluten free options were easy including toast! Their waterfront patio is lovely on a warm summer day.
I have had the pleasure of esting at Darya twice now and both experiences were wonderful. Amazing food and great service, such a beautiful restaursnt and you can't beat the location overlooking the harbour. One thing I love about Darya is that everyone can find something to enjoy on the menu, whether you are gluten free or vegan etc you aren't just stuck eating the one option for your needs on the menu, everyone is able to choose from a variety of dishes at Darya.
I LOVE The Soup Place. Ann’s soups are exceptional which is why I go to the Seaport Market every single Sunday to buy several soups for every week (see picture). What drew me to her booth was how outgoing but not aggressive her manner was offering samples. Ann is extremely personable with her customers; always friendly and willing to have a chat if she has time.
Being Celiac, I admire that the different kinds of soups are gluten free. However, there is the option of adding rice or pasta to your soup if you want it. I have tried them all (except the chicken noodle) and they are all fresh, delicious and clearly NOT from a can.
I despised lentil soup before trying Ann’s and quite possibly the only lentil soup I will ever eat - it is that good IMO. I hear everyone raving about the rolls and wish there was at least one kind that was gluten free so I could try them.
Also, the prices are definitely a deal considering the portion sizes and it is a delicious and healthy lunch (or any meal LOL).
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.
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.

I celebrated my birthday tonight with my mom and we both were given a complimentary drink and dessert. Very accommodating to my moms gluten allergy as well. We had a very good Waiter named Ethan and excellent service. Thank you again for the great experience and birthday dinner.
Nice place, good music. Gluten-free option. I had a cheesebuger poutine, it was very good! Fries with all the ingredients of a cheeseburger (except the bun) with a cheese sauce. My partner had the Smoked bacon mac and cheese served with toasted buns, delicious.
Really good lobster roll, recommend the half and half. Market price at the time was $29 per roll, no markup for a gluten free roll. Recommend the half and half!
This place is a vibe.
The front of house staff was amazing at greeting us and getting us a table quickly. He was funny and incredibly good at his job.
Our group ordered various Seafood dishes.
We have a Celiac friend in our group and they quickly brought us a menu that was all gluten-free options.
The food and drinks were great.
The patio was very charming.
I would recommend thjs restaurant for everyone!
Their cider is fantastic, and their food is also super great! Amazing service, great conversation and extremely helpful when it came to the tables gluten intolerance!!
I have now dined at Mappatura twice and just wow! The service was outstanding both times and the food was sooo good! Lovely Italian wine selection as well. Although the kitchen might be unsafe for celiacs due to the flour in the air, they have taken every other precaution to ensure my meals were prepared gluten free and I didn't get sick either time. Cannot wait to go back!
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 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!
Recently visited here for my birthday, spoke to some folks before hand about accommodating our dietary restrictions (vegan and gluten free). They were lovely and thoughtful, the chef seemed more than happy to create some ideas off menu to ensure our needs were met. The food was delicious and service was attentive. Would definitely visit again.
It is so hard to find upscale vegan dining in Nova Scotia, and that much harder for gluten free so this was really special. Would definitely recommend. ♥️
The atmosphere and ambiance is absolutely beautiful. I’ve been a couple times now, the food is fine, I do enjoy their coffee and pastries but there aren’t many options for pastries (more so sides as a restaurant than a café). The menu does allow for some gluten free substitutions which are celiac safe.
Featured is the Lunette special: egg, potatoes, mushroom, pork belly; toast
Matcha Latte, Almond Croissant (chefs kiss)
Great Easter brunch buffet. Lots to eat and tasty as well. Needs more gluten free options, when asked, the chef steered me through it. Special thanks to the gluten free desert he brought out to me later.
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.

Tried the burger week burger here with the double patty and spicy goat cheese. It was SO delicious and the gluten free bun was fluffy. I would definitely.come back to try other things on their menu. Server was friendly and food came out pretty quickly.
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!
One of the best experiences in Halifax restaurants. Certainly the best tasting seafood. I had the risotto and my friend had the chef Bryan scallop both were so delicious and gluten free.
The atmosphere is charming with real candles and stonewalls. The service staff were so friendly and professional. Julia our waitress was courteous and alert.
The menu options seemed somewhat limited and the prices are not cheap.
I will visit again for oysters 🦪
The atmosphere is great. The decor, music and overall vibe is very appealing. The acoustics are a bit off so it's hard to hear at the other end of the table.
Started out with the Garlic Lebneh, very refreshing and you got quite a bit of it. Also got to try the grape leaves and I liked that as well. Others had the Baba Ganoush and Hummus and really enjoyed those.
For mains a few at the table got the Kefta kebab (myself included) and chicken tawok. There were mixed reviews, with some enjoying it and others being extremely underwhelmed. I was thoroughly disappointed at the lack of flavour. Nothing about anything on that plate wowed me at all and I've had my fair share of Middle Eastern cuisine. Sad to say that it was barely a step up from Mezza, and for $36 I expect more than just 2 kebabs, 1/2 an onion, 1/2 tomato and 2 jalapeños. Some of us couldn't have the fries because we needed gluten free and there would be cross contamination and there was no real effort to supplement the portion with additional veggies, which really didn't matter in the end because they didn't taste of anything. Two of those who ordered the chicken Tawok expressed severe disappointment in how lacking in flavour their meal was.
Regarding drinks, one friend tried the mojito and thought it was disappointing. Another had a glass of wine and loved it.
Service was ok; the staff was very friendly but things did get a bit slow. It was almost an hour and a half before we got our mains.
I have no problem paying for quality meals, and this just did not deliver.
We attended the Valentines Prix Fixe event at Anemone. I am gluten and dairy free, my husband is not. It was easy to see which menu options were available to me before purchasing tickets, was prompted to note food allergies when purchasing, and received an email confirming this afterward.
The venue itself was so lovely and cozy. Parking was easy, even on the holiday. It truly feels like you are at a private dinner instead of a number at a restaurant.
A friend asked me afterward what my favourite part of the meal was - I couldn’t decide! Everything from the welcome snack to the caramel sauce on the dessert was excellent. The staff verbally confirmed (without me ever needing to ask) each of my GF/DF plates as they brought them to me, which made me feel confident that I was eating safely. At no point did I feel my meal was “less” than my husbands (I’ve suffered many bunless burgers and plain baked potatoes elsewhere).
We left happy, full, and looking forward to returning. Thank you Chef Dany & the Anemone team.
Excellent options and there were some gluten-friendly dishes to try here! Loved the calamari and lobster appetizer. The beef tostada was next level and full of flavour! Although we didn’t have oysters there seemed to be many people ordering them so they are probably quite good! Worth a try if you are in the area.
Celiac friendly
