Pride And Provenance

Go quick. Order the tortelloni from the new menu. Order the bread. You will need it for the tortelloni sauce. Order some wine. You don't need the wine, but it will add to the experience, and I'm convinced a bad glass does not exist in this place. Congratulate yourself on having just eaten the most perfect thing available in Halifax. Repeat, often.

The food was great, especially the halloumi which was served with lots of toppings on a pita bread. Also, the back cheddar and villa truffo cheeses were amazing... I need me some of that cheese. One of the staff members was a bit miserable, to be honest, and got a bit annoyed with me asking her to repeat herself because she was mumbling and I couldn't hear. I am hard of hearing in one ear, so if you're standing on that side of me, I sometimes struggle of you don't speak up. But I do also get its frustrating to be asked three times in a row what has been said. Just a tiny bit more paititnece required 🤣 Literally next door to the piece Hall too so very handy for us.

Date night with my wife after having been given a gift voucher by my manager at work for Christmas. It’s always been highly recommend so at long last we ventured. I’m slightly more traditional in my food in terms of plate menus so was a little hesitant about meat and cheese (given I don’t like cheese) but I can say the charcuterie and dipping breads were excellent. You could really rate the difference between meats you would assume be all a bit samey. A great selection of wine and we managed to choose a Turkey Flat Viognier, when just weeks before we’d been in South Australia and had a camping trip to the Barossa Valley and to the Turkey Flat cellar door on a wine tasting trip. Given its location next to The Piece Hall and many building in the area converted, this is done really well with a modern feel in Victorian stone architecture. It wasn’t too busy when we went at around 6pm so not to loud but still some people ambience which we like. You can choose between normal table and a high table. We chose the high table for that time of dining and perfectly comfortable. Also not to forget we have GF requirements due to coeliac and this was accommodated without fuss with GF bread and all options clearly explained by the person looking after our table. All in all impressed and have recommended to friends.

Great place for wine and a cheese board! Would definitely recommend mid-week, they had a couple of wine specials (buy 2 glasses and get the rest of the bottle free, and also 2-for-1 cocktails on a Wednesday). Really great prices for quality food. Charcuterie looked really good, but didn’t try as my fiancé and I both don’t eat meat. Must stop by if you’re in Halifax! The service is very nice as well.

Best. Sandwich. Ever You guys made our day - the truffle covered bikini sarnie on gf bread absolutely blew my husband away. Your staff were delightful and your well chosen ingredients made it a super simple, but special, treat meal. Your love for food was clear to see. Little one had an amazing goats cheese sandwich STACK which kept her going til 7pm - no mean feat in a growing 12 year old. Thanks so much - we'll be back, and soon :)

I love this place and have returned a number of times. The staff are always very welcoming and attentive and the food is always top notch. It has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and just the right number of seats so it doesn't get too overcrowded and noisy. I think the menu has enough variety to suit most tastes, from their locally sourced cheeses and charcuterie, to the tapas style selection of bread, olives, hummus, oil/balsamic to their toasties, sandwiches, soup, salads and sweet selection. They have an extensive selection of wine and beer as well as soft and hot drinks. My partner and daughter are both gluten intolerant but this has not been an issue, just ensure you speak to the staff when ordering so they can accommodate you. Highly recommend a visit, especially if you are shopping within the Piece Hall as it's right next door.
