Looking for a booking at the end of lonely street? There’s not a lot left out there, friends. Red-hot Bear and all the other heavy hitters – Gio, Fid, Chives and the Press Gang – are booked up for Saturday night. But fear not! Some have tables last-minute tables. Or, adjust your plans and go out Friday or Sunday. So getting a love-ly meal is still in the realm of the possible.
This is not a complete, list, but it does cover most of the main players for what we consider to be the usual suspects for a Valentine’s meal at Restaurants in Halifax. We called these restaurants on Wednesday. If they’re booked up now, please post a comment and let us know. If we’ve forgotten somewhere special, let us know!
Good luck, lovers!
