What to Order
Vegan Donair
A plant-based take on the classic Halifax donair, featuring a flavorful vegan filling wrapped in a pita, often served with a unique coconut-infused white sauce.
"While we did not quite enjoy pasta, we really loved their Soup and Donair. Their white sauce or dip had a flavour of coconut which was refreshing and a perfect side for the Vegan Donair wrap."

Seafood Chowder with Bread
A rich and creamy chowder packed with fresh seafood, often accompanied by focaccia bread, making for a hearty and authentic East Coast experience.
"my partner loved the seafood chowder with bread; garlic fingers (gf and vegan) are always 100%; and don’t you dare think about skipping out on a piece of their infamous tofu pie for dessert !!"
