Wonderful Greek dining establishment in the heart of Halifax on Spring Garden Road. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome indeed. This is Greek fare served with pride and attention to detail and where else would you find Greek nachos....if you go, don't mess around, just order them and revel in... More

If you are looking for a fantastic, quiet, unhurried authentic Greek meal, I cannot recommend highly enough Estia Restaurant on Spring Garden Rd. in Halifax. Maria and Peter, the owners, go out of their way to make you feel at home and the service by the staff is exceptional. It is one of the few restaurants that I know of... More
