I had the Chocolate Tofu pie 13 years ago the first time I came to Halifax and it's still just as amazing as I remembered!!! (Actually I forgot just how good it was!!!) I love that it's gluten and dairy free! It's so good people without intolerances will love it just as much, finally a dessert that doesn't comprise on taste to be DF/GF!!!

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!

As someone who has severe food sensitivities (gluten & dairy), being able to eat here and 100% trust that I will not get sick is such a huge blessing! Studio East is one of the only restaurants (even ones that claim to have gluten free/dairy free items) that I can confidently recommend for anyone with similar issues. Thank you for going the extra mile to ensure safe options for your customers! I highly recommend this place.

Lovely staff and extremely accommodating to those with celiac - moreso than other smittys. We try to go once a week. Very affordable especially with the amount of food you get. Love their breakfast and nachos especially - somehow the only place I've reheated nachos at home and they were still edible too haha. (another reviewer mentioned it being strange they pay for coffee, but the cost for coffee is on the menu. And you pay for drinks at most restaurants)
