A refined yet earthy dining destination on the Halifax waterfront, Daryâ will offer a fresh, bright take on Mediterranean cooking. Paying tribute to the culinary traditions of Turkey, Greece, Israel and Lebanon, just to name a few, Daryâ’s menu will highlight a variety of flavours and textures—whether it’s a crunchy salad with a punchy vinaigrette or a slow-cooked lamb shoulder oozing with warmth and spice. Sharing and breaking bread among loved ones is at the core of Daryâ’s values, as its spirited, relaxed vibe will lend itself easily to indulgent family-style dining.
