As you step inside Bar Sofia, you’re greeted with a mix of classic elegance, fresh Latin energy and the fantastical and surrealist artwork of Rafael Silveira. Infused with a riot of rich colour and greenery, the space transports you to a raucous bohemian barrio full of pop-up art galleries, late-night bars and street murals. Come spring, Bar Sofia’s expansive patio, complete with a colourful feature wall inspired by Peru’s “Rainbow Mountain”, will offer a lively setting in which to sip and snack the day away. Highlighting fresh and bright flavours, Bar Sofia’s all-day menu features an array of tasty snacks and small plates including addictive empanadas and colourful salads; along with larger format meat, seafood and vegetable dishes meant for sharing among friends old and new. While much of the menu is Latin inspired, Chef Walsh has thoughtfully incorporated beautiful Atlantic Canadian ingredients such as Nova Scotia mackerel, lamb and salmon, Newfoundland tuna, and P.E.I. beef cheeks. Of course, the bar is as fun as the food! With an emphasis on tequila and mescal, the cocktail-centric menu features margaritas, pisco sours and sangria, with slushie cocktails on deck for summer. A Latin-leaning wine list offers a variety of approachable and affordable Spanish, Chilean and Argentinian bottles.

it was a great experience!

First time at this restaurant and it was a great experience! The staff was very accommodating to our group and the food was so tasty! The location was smaller than I expected but the decor, dishes and great atmosphere make it such a great experience! Super yummy drinks and I don't think you can go wrong with anything on their menu if you're looking to try something new!

the flavour profiles amazing.

First time and loved it. Will have to head back to Halifax for found two! Food was fresh and well presented and the flavour profiles amazing.

Great experience! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The whole ambience of the restaurant wants you to go back!! Mo was fantastic! Ordered Chips and guacamole, haddock tacos and churros. So sweet that they make sure whatever gets out on the customer table from kitchen is perfect. The chocolate sauce with churros is the best one I had so far!!

The service was amazing

First time in Halifax, figured we try a place with a good reputation. And everything rocked. The service was amazing, everyone was super kind and quick to help. We got to be seated outside, apparently a first in quite sometime for the restaurant. Ordered myself the Carnitas tacos and the Halibut tacos. Ended up getting Carnitas tacos and the Mushroom tacos by mistake, I brought it up and they quickly brought out to me the Halibut tacos and told me the Mushroom ones for on the house. I would have

We had a really great meal

Fun times! We had a really great meal and some really interesting drinks here. The steak tartare, tiradito, and brussels sprouts were standouts. Fish tacos were a bit boring. But overall, food was very delicious and staff was very friendly. Ambiance was fun with comfortable seating. Churros weren't available to order when we visited so can't wait to try them next time!
