About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Good for groups

The Brasserie has become synonymous with the North End of Halifax, the region’s most vibrant food destination, serving locally sourced product in an iconic neighborhood.

French inspired food in a stylish and vibrant atmosphere, the Brasserie (est. 2013) focuses on sustainable seafood & ambitious sophisticated cooking where all breads, jams, sauces and desserts are made in house.

Sit on the butcher block bar and enjoy a glass of wine after work, a bar snack, or a full menu during dinner hours. The exposed brick lounge offers a cozy nook for quiet conversation. Further inside the Brasserie is an open kitchen where one can sit at the counter and enjoy the inner workings of the Brasserie culinary operation. Our lively upstairs patio seats 50 and is open during the sunny summer months for cocktails & cuisine.

We welcome you for Brunch on Saturday and Sunday from 11:30- 2:30 with a snack menu between 2:30-4pm and we are open 7 days a week, 4pm to close.

We ordered an appetizer (charcuterie board for two), and it was really good. We were very impressed. My wife ordered the seafood of the day (Arctic Char) and it was very good. She was happy with the fish and the vegetables. I ordered the burger (the menu item, not the burger week special one). I asked to not have the garlic aioli. My burger was good, except that it was coated with the aioli that I had asked not to be included (I scraped it off as best I could, and left the bun that had been coated with it). Also, the frites were not hot, and they were well overcooked, so I left 80% of them on the plate. So, you get two out of three .... a good shared appetizer; a really good seafood special, and an abysmal burger and fries.

We always enjoy the Brasserie. The service is impeccable. The food is good, although occasionally it isn't 100% perfect, however, the staff always want to improve so they are open to discussing. Happy hour is fun with decent wines at very affordable prices and lovely shareables. We'll be back. We always are.

I want to say that this is one of the coolest restaurants. I’ve been there twice and they celebrated small holidays for me. The service was all these two times, at the highest level, the food tasted delicious. Thank you for the attentiveness of the staff at every moment, from water to understanding when to take the order.
