Superior salads in Halifax

Look for the historic brick house with the yellow wood accents on Grafton Street. Inside you'll find a comfy, inviting space with views of downtown, largely constructed from wood recovered from buildings downed by Hurricane Juan in 2003. They pride themselves on local ingredients here, making salads like the roasted chickpea salad or the sweet apple salad – with daikon and scallions – extra delicious. For those who lean macrobiotic, vegan or gluten-free, the staff here are wonderfully accommodating.
