Wow, just wow! The friendliness of the whole staff, the French decor, the food! Just an amazing experience and we can't wait to go back. I enjoyed the boeuf bourguignon tremendously, the desserts from their pastry chef were just delicious!

Wow. Brunch here was literally like being in France in a typical Parisian cafe. The owners have figured out how to create the perfect French style experience. Great service, great ambience. The brunch menu was competitively priced and the food was superb. I had the tuna sandwich (at the front of the pic) and the tuna was fresh seared tuna rather than being out of a can. My partner had the ratatouille with a poached egg on top. Both dishes were fantastic.UPDATE:We returned as a party of 10 on 5 March. Our server - Crystal - was superb, one of the best servers in Halifax for sure! The food delighted everyone. I had the chicken sandwich with a French onion dip, OMG, so good! See updated pics.

Jazz nights on Thursday are amazing! We really felt that we weren't in Halifax anymore - the food, atmosphere, music and service was just perfect and took us on a beautiful journey away from our everyday lives. I really recommend Cafe Lunette on Thursday nights.

Sweet little spot with fantastic menu options! I've been here twice now, both on the cafe side and the restaurant side.I had the avocado toast with an egg and it was delicious. Their coffees are to die for!! I love the cappuccinos. The atmosphere is so beautiful and service is friendly. Will continue to go back!

This was an amazing experience, as you walk in you know that you are going to enjoy your time at this establishment. The service was very good, very attentive and knowledgeable. The lighting, atmosphere and decor was just something out of a magazine. The options for drinks and food were endless. They had some veggie options, but not a lot. If you are vegetarian just know you are limited to two dishes max one being a shareable and other an entrée. Overall, the food was delicious the trout and chicken dishes were amazing and the steak tartare was loved by everyone. The service was friendly, they didn’t charge for extra bread and dessert due to the lack of vegetarian options for myself which was greatest appreciated

Recently named #74 in the 2023 edition of Canada’s Top 100 Restaurants, café Lunette is a classy & delicious recent addition to the Halifax harbour front. The food we had was very tasty and clearly made with care. The kitchen is semi-open and preparation & team activity is observable from one side of the dining room.We are visiting Nova Scotia before a conference in Halifax next week. We flew into Halifax on a Saturday morning and decided to visit the city a bit before heading further afield. Given the timing, we had planned a weekend brunch. and clearly the restaurant is busy, as we made a same-day reservation attempt at 7 AM, and the earliest we could be seated was 12:30 PM. Since they do take reservations, I strongly recommend making them a day or two (or more) in advance, if you have a particular hour in mind.We started with oat milk lattés, and certainly the beans were of good quality (I did not ask which roaster they use). We also ordered the heirloom tomato salad, which was excellent and a great entrée portion. For mains we ordered the avocado toast and the PB & J French toast. The avocado toast was very good, and the addition of salted ricotta was a nice complement. However the fig compôte, though tasty, did feel a little unnecessarily sweet in what was otherwise a savoury choice. The PB & J French toast, with haskap compôte and crunchy peanut butter, was quite heavy, but extremely tasty and original.The service was quite attentive in spite of the hectic brunch crowd, and the staff were all very professional. The noise level, even relatively late (towards the end) in the brunch period, was quite high, and that should be noted for anyone who is planning to have proper conversation at brunch time.Overall, this is an excellent addition to Canada’s food scene, and creates a completely difference ambience than most other offerings in Halifax. We did not try the dinner menu, and it is certainly quite possible (as seems to be indicated by those who have enjoyed lunch or dinner at Café Lunette) that the place shines even more when it becomes a proper French bistro in the evenings.

Perhaps the only classic French restaurant I can think of in the city. Certainly the best. Decor is completely on point. Staff were great. Every dish was a hit.Update: went back. It was much busier and the stock menu. Not a home run. Dishes were cold or under-seasoned. Perhaps an off night?

Sofisticated place with affordable menu options. We had the best brioche ever! Great service, very well done drinks and latte, and food? Oh my Gosh. No words would be able to describe the amazing duck’s Hamburguer and the Chicken Breast Dijonnaise with Garlic Spinach and gnocchi

I’ve been here twice— once for breakfast and once for brunch. The service is good. The croque madame was tasty and filling, however the ham and cheese galette and the escargot galette were just ok— it comes with a salad. And the matcha green tea latte was not very good. But the amandine, the macarons, the butty croissantwich, the lunette special and the cappuccinos were super delicious. Would recommend

We did the Dine Around menu and it was delicious. I had the mushroom soup, followed by the steak frites. Amazing. The Opera cake was beautiful and yummy. We each had a cocktail and split a bottle of wine, hence the price/person. The classic margarita was top notch!The service is fantastic too, the manager noticed I put my coat on my shoulders, and adjusted the temperature.
