Brasserie At The Bull

Totally agree that this is not what I have come to expect from a Halifax bar/​restaurant. A friend from work had told me all about it and I didn’t really believe that it was nice.
We tried it on a night out and I was very pleasantly surprised. The bar downstairs is really classy — big leather booths and lots of wood. Really extensive menu of wines and beers and whiskies.
We had dinner upstairs and the décor was even nicer and much more decadent than downstairs. Our food was really good — I had tuna to start and it was cooked perfectly, just pink in the middle. I had pasta for main — very spicy and cooked to my taste with bit of bite still there. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food.
The staff were excellent — main chap was welcoming and friendly and all staff seemed well trained and attentive.
I really hope this place takes off and does well — my experience of Halifax nightlife is that it is crying out for a smart bar/​restaurant.

I had lunch today at Brasserie at The Bull with my mother in law.
I ordered the fillet steak sandwich with chips and it was delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and chips were more like roast potatoes.
My other half had the Bull burger which he said was one of the nicest burgers he’s ever eaten.
The mother in law had the carbonara. I had a little taste and again it was really nice.
For dessert I had the Lemon Tart and it is one of the best desserts I’ve had in a long time. Price was really good and the service was excellent. Would definitely recommend eating here.
