Il Porto - SHEET HARBOUR

During our visit to Halifax, we made a stop at this restaurant and were pleasantly surprised to find specials on Seafood Chowder and Lobster Rolls. We had been indulging in chowder daily during our trip, so we decided to give it a try and were extremely impressed. It was the second best chowder we had during our 11-day journey through Canada. The lobster rolls were also top-notch, packed full of delicious lobster meat.

This restaurant is a hidden gem on the Eastern Shore. It is small, cozy, and laid-back, offering some of the best entrees east of Halifax. I have visited multiple times and the menu offers a variety of local dishes with a seasonal twist, as well as Italian options and pizza. The pasta is consistently cooked perfectly with just the right amount of seasoning. The presentation of the dishes is impressive and the service is top-notch.

After a long journey with no lunch options, we arrived at this restaurant at 4:30pm. Luckily, they were able to serve us a fantastic homemade and fresh lunch. It was a real treat after weeks of fast food. The staff were kind and the food was excellent!

When customers say it is the best food they have ever eaten, they are part of a large group. I entertained my guests with Clam Chowder and Lobster Rolls. After their trip they Thanked me and said it was the best they ever had anywheres. One is a gourmet cook the other is just a gourmet !

Amazing little resto with great service, flavours, meal choices and prices! A favourite place to go for us and our friends. We highly recommend it.
