Dayan Sushi

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Amazing. First time I've been able to stop in at Dayan and am impressed so much with this place. I wish they had seating, as I had to drive home, thinking about eating it all the way.

Wrap N’ Roll

Restaurant

👍👍 All I can say is WOW!! I am so happy we finally tried this new restaurant. Everything was superb - the staff, the food, the atmosphere. We watched our tortillas being made fresh.

Tarek's Cafe 2

Middle Eastern restaurant

👍👍 The soup had a very authentic and familiar taste. It took me back to my playing days in Turkey and Syria. Well, my tastebuds were on point because the soup is from Syria - and the rest of the food is from heaven. Options include but are not limited to beef, chicken, shrimp, clamari (my personal fav...

Asian restaurant

👍👍 I saw the article about this place last year and made a note to try it out when in Wolfville. Finally got a chance today and it was delicious!!

👍👍 I am consistently in awe of what a welcoming and inclusive community the Practice has fostered at their studio.

Fried Rat stand
