Situated cheek by jowl with the Brasserie on Agricola Street, Lion & Bright shares a wall and ownership with Local Source Market located next door. The space is café-casual, with high ceilings and plenty of local art on the walls. The charcuterie here comes from Ratinaud, but the accompaniments show the establishment’s passion for local veggies. You’ll find the sausages and dry-cured meats surrounded by house-made pickles, from standard mustard and bread-and-butter to pickled garlic scapes or asparagus. There’s even the vegetable tribute board, the charcuterie board’s plant-based counterpart.

Lion & Bright is a new favourite with Halifax locals; it has a cozy café atmosphere during day and transforms into a cool wine bar at night. The restaurant’s attitude is friendly and approachable, and they encourage their patrons take the same approach at their communal seating area. Although their wine list isn’t incredibly robust, the options are chosen carefully to pair perfectly with the day’s food menu.
