Love everything about this place. Cool vibe, supporting local product and lot's of gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options.

Delicious food!! Atmosphere was crazy cool and an awesome view of the harbour. Also our server was absolutely awesome. A little expensive but definitely worth the experience. Also they gave me a birthday cake and it was very yummy. Very accommodating for someone in my party’s gluten intolerance as well.

Amazing baked treats. the sea salt chocolate cookies are amazinnggg

Jecca Currie

Great cocktails, delicious food. Selection of Gluten Free as well

David Robson

Always a great place to grab some food. Awesome Gluten Free options.

Francois Ruel

Delicious food, one of my favorite places. Many gluten-free options

Amy Mendleson

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 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!

The food was awful. Had the southern fried chicken. It was odd texture, a bit soft, and weird flavour and was cold in parts like it had been reheated. Definitely no hot honey on there but a very sriracha meets Dave’s forward sauce. I’m a big one who is not picky and I don’t look like I’ve turned down many a meal. I could not eat half of this and my friend couldn’t finish hers either. The fries were also unevenly cooked and a bit soggy. Both of us sent back almost full plates and waitress did not even inquire if there was anything wrong with our meal. Chairs are hard and uncomfortable. Some communal tables. It’s a good place for gluten free options so I’ll give a big plus for that.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

Brittany Lambert

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.

Service is always great. Very friendly staff. We had some espresso martinis, and some vodka sodas. Really love that their beer is gluten friendly. Patio space outside is great in the summer time.

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!

A Lavoie

Excellent traditional brekkie, gluten free toast made up for watching my friend devour the Montreal bagel with lox.

Patricia Coates

Very good food and friendly staff. Had a vegan burger and gluten free bun.

Kate D'Albertanson

Went with some friends as two of us are celiac. This is an extremely easy place to eat gluten free! We were very pleased with the options. Maya was our server and she was absolutely lovely, she was very educated about the menu and was able to answer all of our questions. It was clear that she took the allergies very seriously as well. The gnocchi didn't have a ton of flavour but admittedly we had to order it without the scallops, so I imagine that would change things. The kitchen accidentally made it with gluten but the mistake was caught before it got to our table and was very quickly remade! The rissotto was incredible, and is naturally gluten free already. We will definitely go back to try the gf creme brûlée. Thanks!!

Bulenda Attila

Gluten free options

Carmen Spark

One of the best gluten free pizzas that I’ve ever eaten. The dough was freshly made in house and was light and fluffy. I would highly recommend this pizza place when in Halifax.

Brittany Lambert

I love this place. I have celiacs disease and have never had an issue eating there. They always add an extra little treat and they're always very friendly! Nothing bad to say, such a great meal for the price!

Quincy Hiscott

Always a go to, just do it you won’t regret. Excellent gluten free options as well (just ask your server)

C Farion

We had gone to a different place but it wasn’t opened but then we spotted this place was opened so we went here instead - so glad we did. It smelt great from the outside and it was very cosy inside. We were welcomed by someone friendly and sat at a nice table in the window. The menu had a lot of variety and choice. Including vegetarian, gluten free, and low spice options. The person serving us was very attentive and kind. We were not too sure what something was so she got a little dish of spice from the kitchen for us. I ordered a dish I had never had before and it was so tasty and delicious! We were all asked for the spice level that we wanted and our dishes really felt like they were made for us. There was also complimentary popadoms with sauce. We enjoyed the experience and will be back! Great service.

Colleen

I am celiac and super sensitive. It was wonderful to be able to have a delicious burger wrapped with lettuce. Will definitely go again , thanks five guys

Ade Jeanne

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.

Simranjeet Kaur

It is so so awesome. We absolutely loved it. Strongly recommended. Their Gluten free chocolate cookie and gluten free brownie is so yummy. We also loved their honey bee cappuccinos.

Tracey Jardine

Great pizza, including an awesome gluten free crust that’s available. Fresh ingredients, custom options for the pizza and lots of other fare to choose from as well. Staff are simply awesome - friendly, helpful. Love having this restaurant in the neighbourhood.

Quinn Bazinet

This place is the most adorable cafe! My wife and I love to come here when we're in Halifax. There are numerous gluten-free and vegan options, and everything's absolutely delicious! The staff are very friendly as well, 10/10!

Anna Rychkova

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.

Danny Allain

Great meal. Gluten free.

Vicki Madziak

I ordered a large amount of empanadas for a holiday party and they were so delicious!! They also had gluten free options which was so helpful. The ordering and pick up process went really smoothly, too. I would definitely recommend them for your next party!

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.

Clifford Isenor

Amazing food service and vibes. They were over the top generous. The food was excellent. It was very busy but the line moved fast. They have a gluten free fryer so all of their chicken and fries are gluten free. The menus are not labeled with allergy warnings but if you ask the staff they are very knowledgeable. This will definitely be a staple for us.

Charlotte M

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.

Louise Christian

Really enjoyed our lunch at Real Fake Meats today. Very tasty. I had a gluten free vegan wrap. So filling!

Himadri Chowdhury

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.

Tammy Tom Hurshman

Fast, friendly service from Ashley. Gluten free bun was amazing, 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. 😁🍕

Alex B

Exceptional Vegan and Gluten free fare. Clearly marked menu indicating options for different dietary needs, and truly delicious offerings across the board. Service was excellent, and the food was delightful - a little oasis of allergen-free goodness.

Erin Code

Service was great. The atmosphere was welcoming and fun. I saw that they have live music but not while we were there. We had fish and chips. The fish was so crisp and not at all heavy. The gluten free requests were taken seriously.

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!

Donna Young

I was looking for a great cup of coffee and a bite to eat and noticed the good reviews and gluten free options. Sadly, I found the coffee underwhelming - very weak and flavorless. My GF breakfast sandwich tasted good and was delivered to the table by very personable staff but I found it to be expensive, for what it was. I also had a GF/vegan macaroon but it tasted nothing like a macaroon. It was very odd tasting making me wonder what I was ingesting. 🫢 Lastly, I wished I had not gone to the washroom; it was surprisingly dirty and did not appear to have been cleaned in a long while, a real turn off to eating there again. I thought I would like the place based on the reviews but there were just too many negatives for me.

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.

Tamara gross

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!!

Ian Lavoie

I came here with a group for lunch on the patio. The service was very friendly and helpful. The menu specified which options were vegan and gluten free. Some menu options were both.

Caitlin S.

Excellent gluten free options, especially the huevos rancheros and the Bibim-not!
