All the seafood is fresh - you can also buy some if you want to make it yourself! But eat here, save yourself the hassle. Always get the fish and chips. Two piece if you are hungry - three if you are famished. Their coating is different from most places - more of a breading versus beer battered. Family run. Fantastic place

We came here with a party of ten people. Originally, we wanted to sit upstairs, but we were told it…read morewas full and that our group would not fit comfortably, so we ended up sitting downstairs instead. Since we were told the food came from the same kitchen, we decided to stay. Our waitress was very nice and kind, but it did seem like she became a bit overwhelmed with such a large table. A few items we ordered never made it to the table, so we ended up canceling some of them. The highlight of the night was definitely the oysters, they were absolutely delicious!

They couldn't accommodate a table of 10 upstairs, so they sat us down stairs. The food was alright, considering the price point I expected a bit more.

While vacationing in Halifax, we made a point of visiting Bicycle Thief after hearing countless…read morerecommendations from friends. The restaurant is hard to miss, with several bright red bicycles decorating the entrance--a charming nod to its name and a great photo opportunity. We stopped by around 3 p.m. without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to snag a table for two despite the restaurant being quite busy. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm, cozy, and inviting. The service was equally impressive--professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling my best that day, so I kept my order simple with a hot tea and the Beef Carpaccio. Our server immediately noticed I was under the weather and thoughtfully made sure I always had a fresh supply of hot water for my tea. It was such a small gesture, but it made a big difference and spoke volumes about the level of hospitality. The Beef Carpaccio was absolute perfection. Made with AAA beef tenderloin, it was delicate, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. I only wish I had been feeling better so I could have explored more of the menu. My boyfriend ordered the Linguine all'Aragosta, featuring local lobster, tomato, garlic, vino bianco, cream, and parmigiano. I managed to steal two bites, and it was heavenly--rich, fresh, and packed with flavor. The lobster was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was indulgent without being heavy. Lastly, we ordered the creme brulee and it was perfection! Creamy with the perfect brulee sugar top crack and not too sweet. It's easy to see why Bicycle Thief has become such a Halifax institution and why it's reportedly one of Sidney Crosby's favorite local restaurants. Between the exceptional food, attentive service, and inviting ambiance, it absolutely lived up to the hype. We can't wait to return on a future visit--and hopefully next time I'll be healthy enough to enjoy even more of the menu.

A fresh lobster is probably the most uniquely Maritime souvenir to take back home, and no one does it better than Clearwater. Lobsters are fresh and glorious looking and won't last long once you get them back home. And for the non-lobster lovers, there are other foodie gifts to take home. I do have to add that, while the price of the lobsters is competitive, there are additional costs to consider. After all, you can't expect the lobsters to sit in the seat next to you.

As for eating, they used to cook up the lobsters on site but that was shut down by complaints from Halifax and local seafood restaurants. They do ship by FedEx worldwide.
