Food is made for sharing, and there's no better way to do that than with sharing plates. Not only do you get to have good food with good people (and probably good drinks), but you get to try different menu items and not commit yourself to just one choice. Plus, when there's as many craft beers to try as Halifax has to offer, you surely don't want to fill up on just food!
If you’re feeling tapas for dinner tonight, the Stubborn Goat is definitely your best bet. Not only do they have lots of sharing plates, but they also have a large selection of specialty mac and cheese, not to mention more than 20 beers on rotating taps. The restaurant is large, the atmosphere is fun, and in the summer, the patio is a great place for an afternoon beer and bite.
When you go the Press Gang, you can fill up on oysters, or choose another series of small plates to share from their great menu, but whatever your choice, you won’t be disappointed. A higher-end restaurant, make the Press Gang your fancy night out on the town when you’re visiting the city, and finish off your meal with a night cap at one of the cocktail bars right around the corner.
The real specialty at Bitter End is the martinis, offering lots of flavours and changing their menu regularly to reflect seasonal selections and new recipes. But after enough martinis, you’ll surely be ready for a bite and their great choice of small plates will serve just perfectly. Share with a crowd, or keep them all to yourself, but between the food and drink, you definitely need to add Bitter End to your list of Halifax restaurants!
A recent addition to Halifax’s dining scene, Lot Six is located in the heart of the city’s restaurant action. Whether you just want oysters to share during their oyster happy hour, or you want to choose from the rest of their sharing menu, you’re sure to find something you’ll enjoy and can then wash it down with one of their specialty cocktails or many wine options.
The concept here is simple: food is made to share. Featuring an extensive menu of small plates, complete with easy finger foods and fancier hot dishes, you’ll come here for the cocktails, but you’ll stay to try more food to share. Okay, maybe to try more cocktails too. Whatever the reason, when you’re with great company, in a great atmosphere, with great food and drink, you’ll have no reason not to enjoy yourself!
