Coastal Inns is your Maritime home away from home, but while we provide you with a great night’s rest and only the best service, often times you find yourself searching for a place to eat. Chain restaurants are great, but it is easy to become bored with the same food in the same atmosphere. To help, we have compiled three local restaurants close to each of our locations that will provide you a new experience and amazing cuisine!
HALIFAX
- Ela!
Stepping into Ela! feels as though you’ve stepped off of a plane onto Greece soil. The atmosphere and cuisine are authentic, yet full of flavour. They use local ingredients and are known for their feta cheese cake. It’s a must-try! - Chef Abod Cafe + Eatery
Described as the “best Middle Eastern food in Halifax”, Chef Abod’s is the place to go for a truly unique food experience. After working as a personal chef for a Saudi Prince, Chef Abod moved to Canada and began his very own cuisine palace. It’s an extravagant experience without an extravagant price. - Susie’s Shortbreads + Cupcakes
Have you already indulged in a meal, but could use a little something sweet? Pop into Susie’s for a delightful cupcake, a few cookies or maybe even a cake to take back to the hotel! They have mini and vegan options to make sure you leave happy.

A casual dinner stop with a million dollar view, the Crow’s Nest is your place for burgers and seafood.
