Halifax | Sea Smoke - A Hidden Gem on the Waterfront

📍 1477 Lower Water St, Halifax (Across from The Bicycle Thief) ✨ Why This Restaurant Stands Out Prime Waterfront Views: Window seats directly facing the harbor, with a bustling patio on sunny days 🌊 Unexpected Fusion Cuisine: Specializes in seafood but surprisingly excels at sushi (rumored to have served teppanyaki years ago!) Great Value: Rare waterfront find with $15-20 dishes (vs. $30+ at nearby hotspots like The Bicycle Thief) 🍽️ Must-Try Dishes 🦪 Oysters (Market Price) Served with ginger-orange sauce (bright and tangy with subtle ginger) Oysters are decent by Halifax standards 🐟 AHI MAGURO TINI ($17) Bluefin tuna tartare in a cup with seaweed salad 🍅 SEA SMOKE MUSSELS ($13) The broth steals the show! Tomato-based with ginger, scallions, and mushrooms - perfect for bread-dipping 🍣 SEA SMOKE ROLL ($15) Salmon sushi that outshines most local Japanese restaurants 🌊 Ambience & Vibe ✔️ Romantic Setting: Floor-to-ceiling windows + nautical decor ✔️ Quirky History: Former teppanyaki spot turned fusion eatery ✔️ Less Crowded: Easier to book than neighboring "The Bicycle Thief" 💡 Pro Tips Visit on weekdays to snag patio seats Ask about daily cocktail specials (their mixology game is strong!) 📍 Sea Smoke | 1477 Lower Water St ⏰ Hours: 11AM-10PM (reserve window seats in advance) 💰 Price: $30-50pp (20% cheaper than comparable waterfront spots) #HalifaxEats #WaterfrontDining #HiddenGem
