Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants List 2023 was just published and it has provided numerous new and newer Halifax restaurants with some serious bragging rights.
The list provides a comprehensive look at Canada’s best dining and is a go to if you’re travelling or looking to dine local at some of the best locations.
Coming in 12th position for the Top 100 Restaurants in Canada is Halifax’s Bar Kismet.
“Bar Kismet is refined, relaxed and a little bit retro.” says the publication. “Dark wood and white beadboard, milk-glass light fixtures, mix-and-match china and potted plants — all contribute to a room of inviting comfort, falling somewhere between your grandmother’s dining room and a farmhouse inn in the French countryside”.
For the most part, Bar Kismet’s menu changes weekly. The publication says your best bets are to ask about seasonal vegetables, seafood or daily pasta. The pasta is all handmade.
You can find Bar Kismet at 2733 Agricola Street.
