Service is outstanding, and the staff recognised me when I called again. I called again cause overall that's a great place. Original menu, even for Halifax (which has a large choice of restaurant for the city size). A little disapointment with the wine: below standards for a chardonney, and contained sulfites, which gave me headache. But they serve one of the two best chowders I know in town. Also, the seabass was good. The lightly caramelised endives were the surprise of the dish (served aside the fish): I was amazed, and kept them for the end. Service is together very profesional and friedly: make you feel very pampered. The last time, I had had the Lake Brome duck: also a real delight.

The Bicycle Thief is a bustling, high-energy place on the Halifax Waterfront, full of business people and young professionals with a desire to be seen. The expansive menu is full of classic Italian dishes done very well: the bacon in the carbonara is salty and crisp; the risotto is just creamy enough. On warm days, there's a lovely patio with views across the harbour. Bring your own wine in for $25.
View this Smart ListThe Bicycle Thief is known as much for its scene as for its cuisine. Perched on the edge of the boardwalk, with views across the harbour, it attracts a stylish, professional crowd. The expansive menu is upscale Italian, but traditional favourites are given a subtle but effective tweak: the fettuccine with lemon Alfredo sauce is a particular standout, as the sauce pokes through with a perfect little citrus bite to tie the whole dish together. On sunny days, sit outside and enjoy the salty breeze.

The staff bring out heat lamps and give you blankets and faux fur shawls to keep you warm. There's a whole range of boozy hot chocolates, including such dangerously sweet classics as the Bailey's and chocolate.
