Cute spot on the waterfront for French cuisine. Beautiful design inside (although very loud when busy) and a small outdoor seating area. Nice cocktail list with non-alcoholic options. The food was good, nicely presented. Open kitchen so you can see them working. Nice date spot. Service was attentive but not stuffy.

This was an amazing experience, as you walk in you know that you are going to enjoy your time at this establishment. The service was very good, very attentive and knowledgeable. The lighting, atmosphere and decor was just something out of a magazine. The options for drinks and food were endless. They had some veggie options, but not a lot. If you are vegetarian just know you are limited to two dishes max one being a shareable and other an entrée. Overall, the food was delicious the trout and chicken dishes were amazing and the steak tartare was loved by everyone. The service was friendly, they didn’t charge for extra bread and dessert due to the lack of vegetarian options for myself which was greatest appreciated

Wow. Brunch here was literally like being in France in a typical Parisian cafe. The owners have figured out how to create the perfect French style experience. Great service, great ambience. The brunch menu was competitively priced and the food was superb. I had the tuna sandwich (at the front of the pic) and the tuna was fresh seared tuna rather than being out of a can. My partner had the ratatouille with a poached egg on top. Both dishes were fantastic. UPDATE: We returned as a party of 10 on 5 March. Our server - Crystal - was superb, one of the best servers in Halifax for sure! The food delighted everyone. I had the chicken sandwich with a French onion dip, OMG, so good! See updated pics.

Out. Of. This. World! My son & I had the distinct pleasure of sitting alongside the kitchen! Not only was the food delectable but we witnessed the great rapport between Chef Vanessa, the kitchen crew and the front-of-house staff! Our server was James & he was fun, unhurried and full of charm! We are only giving Cafe Lunette “5 stars” because that is the upper limit! I will be back (from PEI) for more of this culinary supremacy, whenever possible!

Went here for an anniversary dinner and had a wonderful evening. The service and food were equally excellent, although a bit noisy. The atmosphere and music were fantasic. Went again for brunch and fell in love all over again. Our waiter Abdulsalam was especially kind. We hope to see him next time we come back, which my partner and I hope will be soon.

Excellent restaurant, food and drink. Great vibes for date night. The french onion soup is veal based and it certainly had deep beefy flavours in this. Topped with bread, I enjoyed how it soaked in the broth and gave the soup more texture to enjoy it with. Quite good. The cote de beouf was also amazing. It was cooked perfectly and served with a red wine jus that had me yearning for more. Each bite sent me to new highs. I’ve had a lot of steak this year (e.g. CarverSteak in Las Vegas) and this is definitely up there with the best of them. The daily special they had was a miss for me though. It was a mushroom dish that although it looked like lots of work went into it, I’d try something else from their main menu next time. Good cocktails Overall I heartily recommend Cafe Lunette

I came here for brunch last weekend. The weather was nice, so I sat outside the restaurant. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also very good. The employee were very kind, too. But... The cappuccino that the male employee brought was the worst. My wife grabbed my hand when I was trying to stir coffee with a spoon. You can't really see the spoon in the picture, but someone put the spoon in the coffee and there was a clear black mark in the mouth. When I told the employee, she changed the spoon right away. I didn't complain to the restaurant because I couldn't ruin my date with my wife. The food I ate was delicious. Especially poached eggs are really delicious. Make sure to check the spoon when you drink coffee, too. The manager of this restaurant must train the staff. The food was really delicious.

I was in Halifax for a work conference and had to make sure to go to Cafe Lunette for a dinner. So worth it. I actually felt like I was back in Paris. The interior decor, service, food, atmosphere. I left with an incredibly satisfied palette and cannot wait to return!

Exceptional dining experience with a wonderful atmosphere. Cocktails from the bar were amazing, appetizers and mains were excellent and their desserts were a nice ending to a great meal. We’ll definitely be back!

I’ve been here twice— once for breakfast and once for brunch. The service is good. The croque madame was tasty and filling, however the ham and cheese galette and the escargot galette were just ok— it comes with a salad. And the matcha green tea latte was not very good. But the amandine, the macarons, the butty croissantwich, the lunette special and the cappuccinos were super delicious. Would recommend

We visited Cafe Lunette twice during our week long Halifax stay. The location is a minute from our hotel. So it made sense to drop in once or twice for breakfast. Unfortunately their amazing brunch menu is only available on the weekends and it starts at 11:00AM as an FYI. We tried the petit dejeuner menu of course which included their amazing freshly baked pastries. We sampled the Butty Crossaintwich, Assiette De Fruit, Porchetta sandwich, Lunette Special, Pain Au Chocolat, omelette w/ fries and their coffess and lattes were expertly hand crafted and it was a home run on the taste scale. Every dish was made with skill and it showed. The only drawback is that the service can be slow especially during the busy mornings. But the atmosphere made up for that. Happy Eats everyone :-)

Sweet little spot with fantastic menu options! I've been here twice now, both on the cafe side and the restaurant side.I had the avocado toast with an egg and it was delicious. Their coffees are to die for!! I love the cappuccinos. The atmosphere is so beautiful and service is friendly. Will continue to go back!

Been multiple times in its first year and I am never disappointed. I always have difficulty picking what to order on the menu as there are so many good options (including a good amount of vegetarian options). I'm addicted to the chocolate croissants and ALWAYS get a coffee and bailey's. I recommend this place all the time! Update: I've returned once more and just want to say Peter at the bar knows what he's talking about! Recommended perfect cocktails for my friend and I; thankyou!

Attentive staff and great food make this gem on the waterfront worth the wait. Saturday night dinner at peak hours- staff was always present and attentive to everyone. The apps, mains, and drinks came out in good time. The atmosphere was cozy, without being too isolating. The view into the kitchen provides a snapshot of a well working machine.

My friends and I came here for lunch before we continued our Atlantic Provinces Tour. We met Andrew and my goodness, he was super helpful beyond just ensuring we got a good brunch. Initially, we almost weren’t going to eat there because they were only serving lunch as at the time we got there, but he (Andrew) provided suggestions on what we could get on their lunch menu if we wanted something close to a brunch. In addition, he provided great recommendations for the rest of our Atlantic tour. His tips were super helpful and saved us a lot of time. A huge shout out to Andrew. We also had a good chit chat with him before we left the cafe. Food was good and service was great.

We went here for dinner on a Wednesday night and had a wonderful experience. The service and food were both exceptional. Our server took the time to explain everything on the menu and answer any questions. I had the porc which was great and my husband had the trout which was cooked perfectly. The crème brûlée was delicious too!

Had some time to kill so stopped into this delightful bistro for dessert & wine. So good. Super moist and not overly sweet. Service was excellent. Would definitely love to come back for the late night prix fixe menu. Looks amazing.

My favorite restaurant in town! Dog friendly patio and stunning ambience inside and out. Menu is varied and very well priced and authentic and delicious all in one! The food is amazing and well crafted with care please take the time to stop and visit this place you won't regret it

Let me say that I've made this special request a dozen times before, never with the expectation that they would deliver, but to my complete amazement they enthusiastically obliged. When I made the reservation, I made the special request to have a drawing of a T-Rex waiting on the table. When I saw the drawing when we arrived, to say I was delighted is an understatement. The attention to detail went far beyond this special gift from the talented artist on staff, but our whole meal was spectacular. This experience has convinced me to return for my next special occasion and beyond. I will never hesitate to recommend this most wonderful gem to anyone looking for a special experience. Thank you to all at Café Lunette.

Went here for my boyfriends birthday dinner. Not too busy on a Friday evening. We sat outside when the weather was cooler. Our waitress was very friendly and gave us suggestions for our visit. The outside sadly is right near the main road and a lot of loud bustling going on around so not a romantic atmosphere. The inside looked more intimate. The food was pretty good too.

Beautiful French decor. Nice restaurant with a bar. The waitress was friendly with good manners and had a great knowledge of their dinner menu. Food was delicious from starters to dessert. Would definitely return!

Absolutely delicious meal and gorgeous restaurant! Lunette has been on my radar for quite some time and i’m so happy I got to try it! When you walk in the smell of french onion soup is intoxicating so I had to try it for myself! Absolutely delicious! Super cheesy, lots of croutons, and the rosemary flavour in there is delicious. 10/10!

There’s not one thing I could critique! From the second we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The host provided some of the best service I have ever received at a restaurant. We had multiple people check on our table and offer suggestions as it was our first time. The food was absolutely incredible, the drinks were refreshing and spot on. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious meal at the most adorable cafe.

We ate outside at this café while visiting on a cruise. The croissant that was the basis of the roast beef sandwich was divine. Tasty and medium rare cuts of beef filled the sandwich. Fries were plentiful. And my side salad was dressed nicely with a vinegrette. This bird visited us and adorably begged for bits of the croissant.
