The Bicycle Thief
What the experts agree on
This shabby-chic waterfront spot is a Halifax favorite, with a patio right on the harbor. Weekend reservations are essential, and portions run generous—easy to over-order across the menu's "gears.
“Named for the classic 1948 Italian film, this shabby-chic waterfront restaurant has won similar critical acclaim by local foodies – and with good reason.”
