Saege Bistro $$$ ($21-$40)
5883 Spring Garden Road
Halifax, NS
(map)
429-1882
Saege is the culinary accomplishment of the Simensen food empire, owners of Scanway catering. Like all of their restaurants, beauty is found in the details---from the fresh, modern design to the sommelier-picked wine list to the seasonally-flavoured menu. The glass atrium overlooking Spring Garden and the Purple Saege dining room for private or corporate events give the customer two areas in which to enjoy a complex, skillfully prepared meal, or grab a coffee and a dessert to go.
Chives Canadian Bistro $$$ ($21-$40)
1537 Barrington Street
Halifax, NS b3J 1Z4
(map)
420-9626
Perhaps it's the careful use of local, in-season ingredients or the unique twist on Canadian cuisine. Perhaps it's the relaxed atmosphere, attentive service or the warm tea biscuits (a family recipe) served in tiny paper bags, but Haligonians love this bistro---Chives is a frequent winner in the Best of Food poll, for restaurant and its chef, Craig Flinn. The main dining room balances a cozy and private mood, as does the new dining room for larger groups, but for a special occasion, arrange for seating in the bank vault-turned-wine cellar.
Plan B is a merchants co-op including a number of different kinds of businesses, amongst them fashion, antiques, special interests, used records, art and crafts and more.
Rockbottom Brewery $$ ($11-$20)
5686 Spring Garden Road
Halifax, NS
(map)
423-2938
THursday-Friday, 10am-1am.
An intimate and nicely appointed bar with multiple booths beneath the always-busy Your Father's Moustache, Rockbottom offers a small but upscale menu of quality food and great service to top it off, along with their in-house microbrew.
Nicole Davis recycles products; collecting throw away plastics, shampoo bottles, food and cleanser bottles, laundry detergent bottles, etc, fabricated into small accessories, earrings and necklaces.
