Was craving a new brunch spot and I found it. I will preface this by saying it is not pub style, this is a classy place and offers a 5 star experience. The menu is unique and the food n drinks are gourmet. I got the banana bread french toast and my Brother got the regular style breakfast. The service is impeccable from the front of the house right to the back. Extremely accommodating. It is located inside the Brewery Market on Lower Water so was hustling n bustling with activity this Saturday. I cannot recommend this place enough and will def. be back to try the fish cakes next. Till then Black sheep. Sincerely, Your new fan

Morgan was our server she was kind, friendly and amazing at her job. The food was absolutely phenomenal! We were visiting from Calgary, AB and it is so hard to find wonderful service and a thrilling experience, the Black Sheep was everything we were looking for and more! Not to mention we got into town late at night and it was hard to find any restaurants still open. Thank you for being open, available and the perfect spot for a bite to eat. We will definitely be visiting again next summer just so that we can go to the Black Sheep again!

Had great seats on their patio and really enjoyed the service and atmosphere of the restaurant. The calamari and the octopus as entrees are both great choices. I had the lamb fettuccine which was amazing and the lobster ravioli was also great. The only problem with the lobster ravioli is that they only give you 7 or 8 of them from what I remember. They are quite stuffed but if you just have that plate you might still be hungry.

Very much enjoyed Sunday brunch at Black Sheep. This was my first time at their new location and it’s such a lovely space. Besides the ambiance, the food was amazing. My girl had the Diner Breakfast and I had the Brisket Benny and we we’re both very happy with our choices. We both got Pink Grapefruit mimosas and we shared dessert as well. The tiramisu is probably the best I’ve ever had but the star of the whole experience had to be the pistachio cake. My mouth is watering thinking about it. It consisted of a delicious cake filled with blueberry compote, lemon curd on the plate and a pavlova (meringue). Both desserts were amazing but the pistachio cake just had so many different elements that it was nice to have the variety of flavour throughout the dish. I look forward to our next brunch at Black Sheep. ❤️

We enjoyed lunch on the rooftop patio - very cool vibes and a great location. Caesars and grapefruit mimosas are both excellent. We split the Smoked Octopus and Lobster Ravioli - the Octopus is similar to a salad, light and refreshing. Highlight was definitely the Ravioli - sprinkled in black truffle - it stands out as one of the best dishes from our East Coast foodie adventures. Highly recommend this dish. Our server was lovely and offered great tourism recommendations.

Excellent dining experience at Black Sheep. The Bouillabaisse was loaded with sea food, simply delicious. And the Lobster Ravioli was out of this world, a real show stopper. We also had the Beef Tartar and Oysters as appetizers. Both delicious. Oysters couldn’t be fresher, tasted like the ocean. The Beef Tartar was the best I’ve had in decades, leans more toward the Italian style rather than Montreal fashion. To finish it off, we had the Chocolate Hazelnut Torte, devilishly divine. Service was spectacular as well. Overall best dinner we’ve had in Halifax so far.

Tourist review: This was a great experience, we thoroughly enjoyed the environment and the food. The best dish by far was the lobster ravioli, perhaps the best I've had. I highly recommend this plate to anyone. I also enjoyed my latte which was so surprising considering this isn't a coffee forward establishment. Altogether the ambiance was relaxing and felt so serene, the delicious meal was the cherry on top.

I don’t understand the high reviews for the food. I was severely disappointed in almost everything I had. The traditional breakfast is the best. You can’t really screw up making breakfast. The fries and the garlic dipping sauce was amazing. The eggs Benedict was not good. The sauerkraut was a terrible addition. Also, the brisket was so dry it’s as if they shaved it from the day prior and just heated it up when I ordered it. The smoked fishcake taste like a campfire. It was atrocious. Also the rice was equally as bad. It was too salty for my liking. The chill atmosphere and the friendly service is what gives this place a 2/5 star

There was a nice outdoor patio deck that was beautifully decorated. I ordered mussels with green curry. I thought it was pretty good except the curry was a bit salty and the portion was small.

During our visit to Black Sheep Restaurant in Downtown Halifax, my boyfriend and I had the chance to sit on their stunning, boasting beautiful rooftop dining area that offers a unique and picturesque setting. One of the standout features of the restaurant was the presentation of the food. Each dish was meticulously crafted and presented uniquely, making the dining experience visually impressive. It's clear that the culinary team puts thought and care into their creations. However, when it came to the taste of the food, I found it to be somewhat underwhelming. While the presentation was exceptional, the flavors were relatively ordinary and didn't quite match the visual appeal. That being said, taste can be subjective, and others may have a different palate preference. One of the strong points of Black Sheep Restaurant was its staff. The team was exceptionally accommodating and welcoming, which added to the overall positive dining experience. Their attentiveness and friendliness certainly enhanced the visit. In summary, Black Sheep Restaurant in Downtown Halifax is a lovely place with a beautiful rooftop dining area, exceptional food presentation, and excellent staff. While the taste of the food may not have matched the visual appeal for me personally, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I would recommend it for those looking for a visually stunning and welcoming dining environment.

Das Essen ist wirklich sehr lecker. Die Lokation außen auf der Dachterrasse genial. Das Bier toll - man bekommt auch eine kleine Probe vorweg. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Das war fünf Sterne wert. Aber die Größe der Portionen ist schon grenzwertig und der Preis war bisher der teuerste in Kanada. Zum Beispiel Lobster Ravioli (siehe Bild) 36 Dollar für diese kleine Portion. Dafür einen Stern Abzug.

Only had breakfast option which was the Diner Breakfast and it’s a little hard not to enjoy breakfast. The bread was great and the lavender wild blueberry jam was nice although not sure if that was in house. Salad was good and fresh and had a little spicy kick to it that was nice contrast. Latte was okay. Brisket Eggs Benny was also ordered but not photographed. They have a really interesting option for breakfast such as Korean and Indian options so if you are with a group with varied interests this place would work.

Incredible tomato soup and bread. And the breakfast sausages had a hint of something, maybe rosemary, that made them incredibly delightful. My last day on the coast was made that much better by coming here

We stopped in without a reservation and were welcomed nicely. The waiter was friendly and diligent. We started with the battered cauliflower and it was so lightly battered and tasty. Foe my main I had the steak and potatoes which were cooked to perfection. They had a new drink on their menu tonight called my cheating heart or your cheating heart. Sooooo good. For desert I have the cheesecake. I highly recommend!!!!

Food quality 4 out of 5 Innovative, say squid ink breadcrumbs on the lobster ravioli etc. I also had fish cake it’s made of smoked haddock only. I prefer “The Bicycle Thief”‘s fish cake better, which incorporated 3 types of fish, richer. Service 5/5.

The BEST lobster we have ever had. The steak was perfectly cooked, well seasoned and melt in your mouth. Vegetables were cooked just enough to be tender on the outside but still retain their fresh crunch. Service and overall atmosphere was also amazing. 10/10

Service was good but we thought the food was average. Plating looked nice. A friend recommended the restaurant. Don't think we'll go back this trip.

Okay - this place has the best fries I've ever had. My partner and I stopped in for just a drink and snack, I got the caeser which was so good. They put steak seasoning on the rim which I thought was genius. Also the pickled veg that comes with the drink is so delicious, I wish I had a whole bowl of them. The fries with the black aioli were SO GOOD. I wish we had more time to go back here and get more food, the vibe and decor we're super cool.

Good service and decent food. Cute ambiance. Price is reasonable especially at happy hour. 4 stars as everything we had was a tad on the salty side, which, if paired with drinks are not bad but by themselves definitely too much. Star of the evening was smoked octopus, quite enjoyable.

This restaurant is located in a historic building so the atmosphere and architecture is pretty neat. I also got a spot on the rooftop patio, which has great views of the street below. ... And that's all the good things I can say. I got the lobster ravioli and fish cake. The ravioli sheets were too thick and the sauce was too heavy. While the lobster filling was very generous, I could barely taste it because of how overwhelming the sauce was. The squid ink was a nice touch visually, but flavor-wise it had no impact. I struggled to like to anything about the fish cake. It tasted exactly like what you'd imagine a ball of fish to taste like. There was not enough sauce and it ended up being very dry. I wanted to like this place because of the cool building, but unfortunately that's all there is to it.
