Fred's Restaurant - Halifax

We were vacationing in Halifax and on a walk from our rental stay. We came across this unique place and we were a little hungry. We had a FABULOUS breakfast and as we were ready to continue, Fred (we did not know at the time...) showed up and provided us with a great map of the areas attractions (cool and unique places to visit), he pointed out places to eat in Lunenburg, where we were heading the next day, and suggested a driving route which would capture the beauty of the region. We followed it to the t and had a great time! He also told us about the initiatives in the area and his involvement and it made us feel connected and provided us with a better understanding of where we were staying. THANK YOU!

I did not eat here because I was ignored on arrival. I can only guess that I was judged to be unworthy based on my appearance. I left without service

Fred's is a great cafe style restaurant, with a small but diverse menu. Very tasty breakfasts and excellent coffee. Limited outdoor seating on busy corner, but very roomy, clean and bright inside.

I had lunch here twice and enjoyed the food both times. The cupcakes are the best I've ever had. Their coffee is also great. The atmosphere is contemporary, artistic, and comfortable with good wifi.

Lunch at Fred's is in a small space wedged between the hair salon and the front door. The other side is now home to Statement Furniture. A mix that seems to work okay but compared to the old format dining seems like the odd man out. Food is still good. Orzo salad always my favourite and once and awhile a cupcake is worth the calories!
