Brooklyn Warehouse

Top choice in Halifax


It's aptly named: there's definitely a New York flavor to this neighborhood eatery, with its worn wood, tobacco-yellow walls and chalkboard menus. The food selection changes fast, but it's strong on rich, hearty bistro fare; hopefully the Dragon's Breath (a take on the classic Caesar salad) will be on when you visit.
