Everything feels as though it's doing you good at this fantastic veggie-vegan restaurant, which became so popular it now has a second location (at 3061 Gottingen St), plus a seasonal spot on the harbor. Delicious salads, kamut-crust pizzas, buddha bowls, veggie burgers – Heartwood really nails it. In fact, for non-carnivores there's nowhere better to eat in Halifax.
