Halina Cafe & Bar

“Comfortable, warm atmosphere and the food was so fresh and delicious!”

Visiting from Alberta and we just ate here — honestly 20/10. The food was simply amazing. Every dish was packed with flavour and tasted truly authentic, exactly what you hope for from Filipino cuisine. The service was just as impressive. Prakash was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and Tita did an outstanding job in the kitchen. You can really feel the passion behind the food and the experience. If you’re in Halifax, this place is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!

A warm thank you to the owner (Thanks Tita Bell) and staff for be

I also ordered the 2 piece empanada starter and asked if the beef in the beef and mushroom menu option could be substituted with chicken. This request was graciously accommodated and both of us had a memorable meal to mark mark the occasion. The service was first rate and everything was made fresh and flavourful. My cousin knows he
