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.

I ordered the Seafood Pappardelle. There was little seafood, the pasta was minimal and chewy and the dish was only warm, not piping hot. The tomato sauce was not tasty. Overall I was very disappointed in my choice of meals. We had plates and knives for bread, but were not offered or provided bread. Again, this was disappointing.

The ambiance and food quality is high-end, but the $20ish seafood plates are filling enough to be a full meal. This place is both a great date spot and a great value.

Just really perfect. Each of our dishes were cooked to perfection and service was top level. A jazz band played on a Thursday night which was a bonus.

Our server was lovely and very cognizant of menu items that weren’t pregnancy friendly. I never would have asked about the butter, but it has unpasteurized honey in it. Thanks to our wonderful server for making our anniversary perfect. 🩷

Was there on a date night and had Ethan as our server and he was awesome! Came to check on us at approximate times and we didn’t feel rushed in the least. Answered all of our questions and was very helpful when we had questions about wine or food as we were making selections. Ambiance was spot on and exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be back.

Two of our party were guests from Ottawa, the other 4 of us were local. Anika, our server, was brilliant as usual. I mentioned I was getting over a cold and she brought be a mint tea on the house. Our meal was excellent. I always appreciate the plant-based special while my friends can choose from a nice omnivorous selection. My friend who had the roast duck would have liked a little more sauce, but that may have been after a slip of his knife sent a portion of his meal flying onto himself and the floor. It looked like a murder scene when we left, but no-one was phased. All in all, the Brasserie remains my favourite place to bring visiting friends, and local ones too.
